Despite the drop in temperatures over the past few days, the evenings are stretching and hopeful signs of spring are on the way – in fact I caught a glimpse of my first crocus today in Stephens Green.
It’s always great to see this change being reflected on the highstreet and this week A|wear showcased their new collections for spring summer 10 which didn’t fail to impress.

Harvey Nichols Dundrum presented their spring summer offerings with a fabulous concept fashion show styled and produced by Paula Hughes on Thursday last.
The scene was set when invited guests were ushered, champagne in hand, to a warehouse-style venue hidden in the basement of the store. Ultra-violet lighting, a paint splattered run-way and Auguste-faced clowns (aptly named Hilarious Hank!) provided the setting for a multicoloured circus concept show.

My favourites came in the form of Amanda Wakeley, Philip Lim and the queen of digital prints Mary Katrantzou.
Kudos to the team at Harvey Nic’s who didn’t ignore the men in the audience and presented some pretty slick menswear looks from Diesel, Dsquared2, D&G and the super cool ‘Elvis Jesus emerald Miami Vice’ t-shirt exclusive to Harvey Nichols.

In typical Alexa style, the images (shot by Tom Munro and styled by Alexa herself along with Patti Wilson) are very laid back and relaxed featuring denims styled with cute tees and cropped biker style jackets.
Alexa’s ascent into style Royalty is set to continue with reports that she is to design her first ever collection in a collaboration with US clothing brand Madewell. The fruits of her labour will be available this September and will be sold under the label Alexa Chung for Madewell

I first fell in love on a trip to New York about two years ago – no not with a person but with a pair of metallic silver converse. After some initial panic of not being able to hunt down a pair in my size, I was prepared, as I often am, to work through the pain of wearing a size smaller
