Another day at the shops

After Molly's day out at the shop's last week, this week it was time for Marta to head out, have a look around and report back with what she found.

"It seems that we're living in an era of minimalism but this year the sparkles are making a comeback! Miu miu, Oscar de la Renta, Balenciaga and even Marc Jacobs are all in agreement that girls need a bit of sparkle in their lives - not just in terms of dresses but also coats and accessories.

Dior, Dolce and Gabanna, Saint Laurent as well as Alexander McQueen are all encouraging women to show their sexy side this season with corsets and see-through blouses being a highlight among the houses.

Make a statement with a strong shoulder this season as they are coming back! Celine, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton are just some of the many designers bringing this trend to the runway.

Let's just take a moment to talk about shoes - in terms of boots the chunky welly boot and knee-length platform boot are currently a big hit! I also saw a lot of shoes and heels with embellishment and chains. "
