FROM floral frocks to sparkly pumps, Helen Tither rounds up what's hot this week...
Floral frocks
With Bank Holiday upon us, it's time to get into the spring spirit. What better way than with a fab retro floral frock from the new range at Oasis? Using original prints from the mid-20th century, like this preppy Poppy Parker Jones number. Check out the King Street store for more info.
Eco chic
Dorothy Perkins has teamed up with the Woodland Trust to create a new range of eco chic products, raising cash to plant and protect trees across the UK. Cool clothing and bags are made from 100 per cent organic cotton. But we love these wacky wellies, £20. Every £5 raised plants a tree in the UK.
Love those shoes
Manchester-based footwear fashionistas Love Those Shoes are forever coming up with new ways to make practical shoes look fab. And we just love their latest arrivals – sexy silver slip-on pumps designed especially for driving. With great grip on the pedals these Kylie pumps by Redfoot (£25) fold up to just 13cm to fit in your bag afterwards for a quick change! Visit lovethoseshoes.com
On target
Add a charitable edge to your summer shopping by checking out the new range from Fashion Targets Breast Cancer, which launches this week. With all sorts on offer from bikinis to flip flops and t-shirts in stores like Topshop and Marks & Spencer, it's well worth a peek – plus at least 30 per cent from all products sold goes to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
Should less emphasis be placed on the results of tests and more emphasis on general education for children?
