Catwalk Collection's Latest Look: Garden Party!

Hello everyone, hope you had a fantastic weekend!

A few weeks ago we created a new section of the site called Catwalk Collections, dedicated to putting together outfits that reflect the latest trends. Our buyers have styled full outfits to give you plenty of inspiration on how to stay on-trend!

The latest look is Garden Party - an explosion of florals and pretty, ladylike silhouettes. This type of look was all over the catwalks for Spring/Summer '11, as you can see...

Because Yours are not one to ignore a trend, the team have compiled a selection of outfits, enabling you to get the look in your size, and for a lot less! Here are three of my favourite looks:

Left to right:

Casual floral t-shirt and jeans
Prim & proper ivory and black dress
Stylish floral tunic and leggings

Clicking on those links will take you to a page where you can shop the entire look in one go!

What do you think of these looks? Remember you can comment here, on twitter or on our facebook page. Hope to chat to you soon!

Lots of love,

Yours' Spring/Summer Press Launch!

Hey everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and Valentines Day yesterday! Remember we have lots of romantic themed ideas in our Valentines shop if you feel like a belated treat.

Last week was very exciting for the Yours camp, as it was the launch of our spring & summer collection and lookbook, which we presented to various journalists from The Sun, Look Magazine, Best, among others. It was a very posh affair including a dinner held at one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants, Maze. A much more refined affair than my usual rack of ribs at Harvester...! Here are some quick snaps I took of the evening...

The lovely table setting, with a sneek peek of our lookbook photos on each table.

Before we tucked in to eat, Andrew, the owner of Yours, gave a speech about what he feels the company is about. He noted that the models used in our lookbooks are smaller than our customers, which I know is a contentious issue for a lot of women who feel under represented.

Loved the bouquets on each table, so pretty and smelled wonderful!

Journalists chatting beforehand.

As the launch was primarily about the clothes, Yours brought two rails of clothes featured in the lookbook for all the press to look at. I took some photos of my favourite pieces, too:

One of our two rails of samples!

This is definitely one of my favourites, a sheer white cape-sleeved blouse. Perfect for festivals!

Loved this take on the nautical theme, it's so cute and easy to wear.

This top is a colourful version of this chiffon tunic already available online and in store, where it's wildly popular. The journalists loved it, too!

Maxi dresses are still a big hit this summer, so naturally Yours have got loads! I loved the print on this, as well as a zigzag print maxi that all the journalists went gaga for, and a ditsy floral print one that is super cute.
This tunic has it all - leopard print, sheer chiffon, peter-pan collar, voluminous sleeves and a dipped hem. Amazing!

Thanks so much to Yours and Wingfield PR for letting me sit in on the event, it was fab! Keep your eyes peeled on our Facebook page, I've posted all the lookbook photos there and as always, I'd love to hear what you think!

Lots of love,

Lauren xx

Spring Jackets

Spring has truly sprung here at Yours headquarters. The sun is shining, the air is crisp and there are daffodils being sold at the shop down the road. It’s time to put away the big thick winter warmers and layer up with thinner materials so you can keep warm when spring winds blow and cool when the decides to shine.

You may remember your grandma saying “n’er cast a clout ‘til May be out” basically meaning ‘don’t ditch your vest until the start of June!’

Fashion always seems to obey this principle with layering always being in fashion so this is why we LOVE this PU zip up bomber jacket Great for the day and the night, this jacket is practical as well as stylish. At £38, this jacket gives its expensive leather counterparts a run for their money and has attracted glowing reviews from satisfied Yours Clothing customers. If you are trying to avoid wearing black this spring, you are in for a treat as we also sell this jacket in brown and ‘dove’ grey. Now, nobody needs to miss out on having the most stylish and useful item in their wardrobe.

Still feeling the cold a little? Pick up this red showerproof mac to get you through those April Showers AND save £26! If you are looking to stand out among the tulips this season then choose between red and black for a classically feminine shape this spring.

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!
