Love it or loathe it, the day of lovers is nearly upon us. Whether you’re a die hard fan of old school romancing; a dance-till-we-fall-into-each-others-arms loved up pair or pros at the art of seduction – we ladies are really only concerned about the dress we’ll be sporting on the day where, for a change, we’re the ones being spoilt!

Avoid any wardrobe woes with our selection of perfect Valentine’s Day dresses , and prepare for a day full of heart-shaped confetti (does that still happen?), rose bouquets bigger than your backcombed barnet on a night out and enough OTT sickly sweet affection to last you the leap year.

Here at My Fashion Life, we’re a sucker for a pretty dress.  This Topshop number is a prime example of the kind of thing that makes us weak at the knees – whimsical and flirty, we can imagine floating around in this right through to summer.

Firstly, let’s talk about the pleats. Now, we all know pleats are big news this summer - Jonathan Saunders and Jil Sander both featured the finish in their SS12 collections - so we’re more than happy to start sporting the trend early. Plus, the midi-length is bang on-trend too. Two major SS12 looks in one piece? Ideal, we say!

Then, there’s the soft cream colour – a warm neutral that will look great teamed with this spring’s pastels. And let us not forget to mention the neat little collar, which finishes off the Dress of Dreams in a subtle and sweet way. We’ll be wearing this with chunky platform heels and a strong lip. Cute as a button!

It’s Friday! And boy are we glad….

While the year has started off brilliantly, it’s definitely been manic to say the least. But not too manic to take a fashion breather and scour the online stores for wardrobe updates.

This week our award goes to Firetrap for having some darn good statement pieces. Here’s our top 5 faves!

1. THE MAXI DRESS

Perfect for both the colder and warmer months we love this printed maxi dress paired with a biker jacket! Hitched Skirt Maxi Dress, £100 available at Firetrap.

2. THE SKINNY JEAN

Update your essential basics with these grey wash super skinny jeans. Merc jegger g2 Superskinny fit ,£70 £40, available at Firetrap

3. THE BELTED CARDIGAN

We know its super cold outside right now, but spring is coming and with spring comes “transitional wear”. Transition stylishly with this belted batwing cardigan (it’s also our editors’ favourite!) Belted batwing knitwear £70, available at Firetrap.

4. THE BIKER JACKET

The biker jacket! Oh how we love thee especially with a white t-shirt and skinny jeans! Vintage Americana at its finest…. Ava Smu jacket , £215 available at Firetrap

4. THE VINTAGE T-SHIRT

Last but not least the much adored t-shirt. We had to include this vintage cream t-shirt in the round up, not only because we love the price but the print was too cute to be ignored! Deep cream vintage t-shirt

Happy shopping! Have a fab weekend….

After all the glitz and sparkle of the Christmas party season, we’re craving some minimalism for 2012.

A fresh, clean start to the year is what we’re looking for, and so too are our wardrobes as we push those party dresses to the back of the closet and start to refresh our looks for the new season ahead.

So, what better way to convey a new beginning than with a simple pure white dress?

This shift dress from Topshop looks box-fresh for the new year ahead. It’s plain, pure and simply white, referencing the minimalist style of top designers such as Celine. Its stepped hem style – with a longer hem at the back than the front - is a cut that we saw on many a SS12 runway at London Fashion Week, with this dress itself looking like a dead ringer for some of the white pieces that we saw at new Korean design talent, J JS Lee’s SS12 show.

We have the feeling that minimalism is going to be big in 2012, so why not start early with this little white dress? Plus, it’s one of the first pieces from Topshop’s highly anticipated SS12 collection. A new dress for a new year – every girl needs one!

The fashion world went collaboration crazy last year with the launch of Versace for H&M and Missoni for Target being just two successful sell-out examples, but this year is also looking promising for the designer/high street mash-ups. 

We have the first proper look of Jason Wu for Target, and upon first glance, it is everything we dreamt it would be – possibly more.

From what we can see so far, the collection encapsulates everything Jason Wu is about: class, sophistication, elegance, femininity… we could go on forever.

Despite the wallet-friendlier price tag, Jason Wu hasn’t compromised on quality, offering tasteful designs that look much pricier than what they are going for. You can expect to find cute dresses, flirty silhouettes, nautical designs, adorable Peter Pan collars, and a recurring little black cat named Milu…

There goes our New Year’s resolution to spend less! (Who were we kidding, anyway?!)

The collection hits Target stores and online on February 5th – good luck!

Zac Posen is clearly getting into the Christmas party/awards season spirit if his pre-fall 2012 collection is anything to go by. Never have we seen one singular collection laden with so many enviable gowns, and we are beaming from ear to ear because of it.

We know that Zac Posen is one of the go-to designers if a fairytale-inspired red carpet worthy dress is what you’re after, and this collection was no exception.

As we keep reminding you, awards season is almost upon us, which is why we are keeping our beady eyes open for potential wow-factor dresses – and we are willing to bet good money that at least one A-lister will don one of these gowns at an awards ceremony next year.

According to Styleite, Zac Posen was apparently inspired by “American couture, Charles James and Cristobal Balenciaga” for this collection – and we can totally see where he is coming from, can’t you?

Which Hollywood stars do you think would do the sexy, figure-hugging designs justice? Anne Hathaway immediately springs to mind for the dress above (modelled by the lovely Hilary Rhoda), but what do you think?
