Roving Reporter . . . Product Lust

Sass and Bide Dress @ Net a Porter £745

I love any dress that remotely looks like a grecian or empire line style. 
I totally adore this little summer address from Sass and Bide. Its a perfect shape for slightly curvier girls and is a great evening number with gladiator flats on holiday. Pile on the super sized, sparkle earrings and diamond pendant to be totally show stopping. For the total fashionista, go for super heels and wet look leggings. I LOVE this dress!

Top Trend : Obi Belts

The shows for S/S 09 showed designers telling us to 'belt up'. The belt has been a key catwalk accessory for many seasons now, from skinnies to wide-waisted varieties, and cinching is key to Spring/Summer 09's silhouette.Whether it's on a dress or a novel way for tying a jacket, it's all about the belt. This time designers have looked to the Orient for inspiration.

Basso & Brooke is the main catalyst for this trend. The designers showed beautifully crafted, bow-style obi belts in crazy colours. These belts adorned everything from jackets to jumpsuits and were totally show-stopping. On the back of this, Fash Pack present their top obi belt picks . . .

1. Paul Smith used beautiful scarves, wrapped tightly round waists as obis. Love it!


2. Love Label @ Littlewoods - Obi Belt - £29
