New in at Karen Millen

Now, I usually consider Karen Millen the go-to place for glam cocktail dresses - but there's much more in store this season. Whether you're shopping for off duty denim or looking to update your workwear wardrobe, highlights of the Limited Edition collection include the patchwork boyfriend jeans (£99) and the pinstripe tailored shorts (£115). The tailored shorts are very Victoria Beckham, and will make a great alternative to skirts come summer.

If you want to get your hands on these Limited Edition items you'll have to be quick. As few as 30 and never more than 700 of each item are made, so get shopping!

*Sleeveless white shirt and peep toe shoe-boots coming soon!

Jeans For Genes Day

Today is Jeans for Genes Day - an opportunity to dress down in denim for work or school and raise money for charity whilst you do it. So, have you got your jeans on? Every year in the UK 30,000 children are born with a genetic disorder and by making a donation to wear denim today you can help raise money for those affected.

There is a massive trend for coloured jeans this season, and the high street to high end designer, A/W collections are awash with denim in all the colours of the rainbow. Here are some of the best out there.

Double Denim

Fashion can be a fickle mistress. For example, I never thought I'd be writing a post expressing the virtues of double denim - but here I am! The Texan tuxedo is one of the hottest trends of S/S.

For the past decade or so - ever since the denim disaster that was Britney and Justin's his 'n' hers outfits at the American Music Awards - the style rule has been never double up denim. But hey, sometimes rules are meant to be broken. The distressed, acid wash designs seen on the Balmain catwalk have certainly made me rethink. The trick is to miss-match different washes. Still avoid the indigo suit look favoured by '90s girl band b*witched (remember them?), but try indigo cut-offs with a stone-washed shirt for a relaxed, yet stylish Summer look.

Denim is nothing if not versatile - bags, shoes, earrings - you name it, the High Street is awash with the stuff. So why stop at double when you can go for the treble? Just don't coordinate with your boyfriend!
