Celebrity Look: Samantha Cameron

Hello everyone! Hope you've been enjoying our new look site that launched this week! Remember from now until midnight Sunday everything is 10% off with the code REDESIGN.

Can you believe it's been a week already since the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton? As well as being a huge and happy news story around the world, it was also a big showcase for fashion. While no-one overshadowed the bride in her Sarah Burton for McQueen creation, there were some wonderfully elegant - and downright scary - outfits on show.

One of my favourites was Samantha Cameron, wife of prime minister David Cameron, in her elegant teal Burberry dress. I know, I know, she committed a rather large faux pas in not going for a full head-piece, but I just love the contrasting jewel tones of aquamarine and amber. And not only that, but you can recreate the look here at Yours Clothing! Have a look:
Shoes, Kurt Geiger
Hair clip, Glitz 4 Girlz

What do you think? Would love to know your opinions! Is there anyone you'd like to see as a Celebrity Look? Let me know in the comments, or on twitter or facebook. Can't wait to speak to you!

Lauren's Fashion Fixer: Wedding Guest Outfits

Hello everyone! It's been a pretty busy week here at Yours, but one thing has remained the same: our massive sale! Yup, as we speak you can still get an extra 20% off all our sale items!

Earlier in the week, Hannah asked on the Yours facebook page whether I had any suggestions for what she could wear to a wedding she's attending soon. I had a bit of a think, and came up with two suggestions which I think fit the bill.

Our lovely photographer Marzena took some photos of me in the actual outfits - I'm no model, but I tried my best! Anyway, here are my two wedding guest looks from Yours Clothing:


Black has long been considered a strange colour to wear at a wedding, given its negative connotations. However in recent years I've noticed more and more women wearing black to weddings and looking very chic!

Our black mesh halterneck dress is incredibly glamorous and flattering, with ruching to the bust and a soft hanky hem. I've teamed the dress with opaque black tights, black embellished flats, a contrast cream corsage, and some silver jewellery to keep it simple and elegant.

The great thing about wearing a classic LBD is the versatility of the colour, meaning you could use any kind of colour scheme or accessory theme with it.

Vintage Fancy
I really love this tunic, although it has divided opinion with some thinking it's beautifully vintage, and others saying it looks like it was cobbled together with your grandma's old chandelier! I'm definitely in the former camp - I love vintage and this evokes the style of old Hollywood glamour.

Because the dress is a champagne/apricot colour, I have used all black accessories to contrast with the paleness of the dress itself. I love the fact that it's glamorous but still modest, and not about to upstage the bride. However, if you really fancy catching everyone's attention, swap the nude tunic for our cerise tunic instead - there's no way you won't be able to catch the eyes of all the guests!

Well I hope this helped in some way and possibly gave you some inspiration! If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me via the comments here or on twitter and facebook. Can't wait to hear from you!

Have a great weekend guys,

Lauren xx

What to wear to a Spring wedding

We’re coming up to that magical time of year – wedding season. It’s an incredibly exciting time for the happy couple but a nightmare for guests who really don’t know what to wear. Traditionally, guests are meant to avoid wearing black (it indicates you disapprove of the nuptials) and obviously avoid white and off-white shades like cream, ecru etc as it may be seen as you trying to upstage the bride.

Also, some people suggest avoiding wearing red as they think it mocks the bride’s honour and says that you dispute the bride’s right to wear white! However, in this day and age, this is a pretty old idea but to be on the safe side, if you know the bride you should probably try and discuss your outfit. After all, she’ll probably be pleased that you want to look nice in her wedding photos.

So here are my top picks for guests who are racking their brains about what to wear to spring weddings.

This magenta mesh dress is a fantastic find for wedding guests. Flirty and girlie, our customers have already started ordering this dress for weddings and with a five star customer rating already, if you want to get your hands on this dress you will need to get in there quickly before we run out of stock. We also have it in peacock blue (in the sale at £10!) but only in a size 24. If you’re lucky enough to be that size then it must be fate and the dress is meant to be Yours! Is your favourite colour purple? Pick up a similar dress in purple and wow your friends.

Going for something a bit funkier? Take a look at this zebra print dress – but bear in mind, sizes are limited but you can send an email requesting a reminder for when we get things back in stock.


Layer up with this ruched back asymmetrical cardi. Just because the sun is shining this March/April it doesn’t mean the temperature gauge is showing results over 10oc! If purple doesn’t match your chosen outfit, we sell this little gem in black too. Customer reviews have been very positive with most very happy with the feel of the material – very important if you’re wearing a strapless number and have bare shoulders!



Now all that’s left to deliberate is how to catch that bouquet!
