Pick of the Day: New Look tie-dye leggings

new look leggings.jpg

Get the designer tie-dye look for less with New Look's leggings, for just £12 you can get your mitts on a great print. They're similar to boutique leggings which can cost hundreds of pounds.

Tie dye has lost all its hippy connotations to become one of the most sought-after prints from the catwalk. It looks great with distressed denim, leather and studs for a Balmain-inspired look. For something a little different mix up your prints with a floral summer dress or play hide and seek with a sheer overskirt.

New Look A/W 2009 Lookbook

We're nearing the end of our high street lookbook previews, and we're starting to form our A/W wishlists, our penultimate offering comes from New Look.

The leopard-print bodysuit is FIERCE and we're getting similar 'tude from the biker jacket and textural black dress. The knits aren't half bad either, with a multicoloured mixed jumper dress and adorable sweater featuring a girl's face. We're dying to get our favourite face knitted onto a sweater!

River Island A/W 2009 lookbook

The rainy weather has fast-forwarded our wardrobe wants into autumn, looking at offerings from Dorothy Perkins and Primark we're ready to say bye-bye to summer.

River Island's collection is a chic affair: there are simple, grown-up pieces like the angular painterly dress and the purple satin frock as well as more fun items like the wet look fringed skirt and spotted top. We love the chunky oversized knits, and the sequin blazer is HOT!

CQ Gallery: Primark Autumn 2009 collection lookbook

Changes are afoot at Primark, with reports that managing director Arthur Ryan is planning to step down in September. If true, this will leave the running of things to chief operating officer Paul Marchant. All business aside, the budget retailer has just released the lookbook for its Autumn 2009 collection, and there sure are some goodies to get excited about. Primark has everything from harem trousers to faux furs to sequinned parkas ready for you to snap up. But my favourites have to be all the sharp-edged shoulders adapted into blazers, blouses and floral-print dresses. Are you ready to check out what will soon be offer?

Necklace Print T-shirt: Balmain vs Karen Millen

Balmain's A/W stock is starting to trickle in and you can bet it will fly out of stores, fashionistas are already going crazy for the grunge-luxe look. Their necklace print tee from Bowns is a great way to get the hardware look without actually piling on the metal, but the £710 price tag might deter some.

Karen Millen's t-shirt is a far more affordable £69.95 and features a similar jewellery print. Team it with tailored, carrot leg trousers and heels for a chic look. If you've been taken in by Balmania then wear your tee with distressed, acid wash denim and an exaggerated shoulder jacket for an accurate take on the look. Susie Bubble also knocked up an impressive necklace print tee in association with Borders and Frontiers, so you're spoilt for choice!

Harem trousers cleverly combine a tailored look with a breezy slouchiness which makes them perfect for summer smart. We've compiled a selection which will keep you cool without baring all!

All Saints' designers Bolangaro Trevor are on the money with their sharp-cut black pair; they're great for the office, worn with heeled sandals and a silk racerback top. Topshop's offering is made from a more rustic fabric, which will come into its own teamed with gold accessories and a simple white shirt. The more trend-led option is the Orphan Age denim jodphur, which is just crying out to be worn with '90s florals. Jump through for full product details.
