Here at Debenhams Head Office, there’s nothing we love more than a celebration of high street fashion so I popped along to the ‘Greatest Fashion Show on Earth’ preview last night at London’s Westfield Shopping Centre.

You know a high street fashion show wouldn’t be complete without a little something from our very own Designers at Debenhams and Henry Holland showed up to show his support too. One of his H! by Henry Holland outfits was being modelled - the bright pink floral culottes and matching cropped shirt, we love! Another Debenhams favourite was a black Rocha.John Rocha jumpsuit which was worn with piled on accessories.

With the likes of Erin O’Connor, Chairman of The British Fashion Council, Harold Tillman, Mary Portas and Tiffanie Darke (editor of the Sunday Times Style magazine) in the house, the place was a fashion extravaganza.  We were also treated to a performance from singer Jessie J, fresh back from the USA and a reported collaboration with Justin Timberlake! She was dressed head-to-toe in Pam Hogg, and the super-glam Pam also played DJ for the evening spinning classic tunes from ‘Teenage Kicks’ to ‘West End Girls’.

The catwalk shows are also happening Friday 19 and Saturday 20 March with Donna Air hosting so if you’re near to Westfield head to the Atrium to catch a glimpse. Money raised for the event will benefit Fashion for Relief, the charity fronted by Naomi Campbell that raises huge amounts of money for victims of disasters across the globe and is currently supporting Haiti.

And if you haven’t been yet, why not treat yourself to a spree at Westfield. The Westfield Debenhams store there is all shiny and new and filled to brimming with fab Designers at Debenhams fashion.

During November and December of 2009 we ran an NSPCC competition asking children to send us their designs for a Christmas card. We had some great entries sent in and can now reveal the four winners of the competition.

Congratulations to…

• Ethan Botterill, aged 2 years (0-4 years)
• Eddie Whelan, aged 8 years (5-8 years)
• Max Beech, aged 12 years (9-12 years)
• Lauren Beech, aged 14 years (13-16 years)

The winning designs will be on sale as part of a 4 pack in Debenhams stores for Christmas 2010 with proceeds going to NSPCC.

Here’s a peek at the designs, which one is your favourite?

Every season we find ourselves lusting after the latest, on-trend nail shade. Last season it was Chanel’s jade green nail colour that had everyone talking and Chanel has done it again for SS10.

This time around everyone is talking about taupe, or as Grazia have put it ‘greige’, a mix of grey and beige. The Chanel shade that started it all off is called Particulière and was showcased by Lily Allen at the design house’s SS10 catwalk show in Paris.

It’s simple but totally chic and I don’t know about you, but I’m stealing Lily’s stylish nail shade as soon as it arrives online. It literally goes with everything, especially the romantic, boudouir trends that are going to be huge news over the coming months.

Here’s a sneak peek of me in the magazine…

On the photo shoot I wore a dress and zip leggings from Butterfly by Matthew Williamson and some skyscraper Carvela heels. The hair bow is my own, from J by Jasper Conran, and the stylist liked so much she let me keep it on for the photos.

If you’re the type of girl who loves to stay ahead of the trends without spending a fortune then check out the latest drop from Red Herring.

Romantic dresses with lingerie detailing, frills and flounces are a girly girl’s dream and we’ve got that trend ticked off. If you’ve got a daytime dressing dilemma don’t worry, a quick denim update will do the trick. You can even get away with doubling up your denim, it’s a hot trend this season that’s been seen on countless celebrities and catwalks. On my shopping list are a few floral print dresses for everyday chic. Throw on a cardigan while the weather is cool and then wear all summer too.

Check out our model wearing the latest looks below or shop Red Herring.

Fashion and the races is a well-established combination which is why we jumped at the chance to dress Channel 4’s Racing presenting team for the Cheltenham horseracing festival from March 16 – 19.

Channel 4’s Festival coverage starts daily at 8am with The Morning Line, with afternoon action live from 12.30 – 4.20pm. Alice Plunkett and Alastair Down will be at the helm supported by the most popular broadcast team in racing that includes John Francome, 7-time Champion Jockey and author, alongside John McCririck, one of the most recognisable faces of racing, known for his flamboyant hats and attire.

Watching the racing is only half the fun, all eyes will be on the presenters and their Debenhams outfits as they broadcast from the Cotswolds. If you’re off to the races later in the season it could be just the place to look for emerging occasionwear trends and to get some ideas on what to wear. Will you be brave enough for a stand-out fascinator?

Brogues are back in a big way this season for both men and women. Love them or hate them, they’re already hot on the heels of celebs including Agyness Deyn, Sienna Miller and Emma Watson.

The best thing about brogues has to be the comfort factor and they look as good with your skinny jeans as they do with a cute dress. The key to wearing brogues is to team with fitted styles, glamorous tops and feminine dresses. If you style your brogues with casual and baggy clothes it could make your look a bit too boyish.

For men brogues are much easier to style. Rock the brogue look with dark denim jeans or tuck your skinnies into a pair of new style brogue-boots for a cool, casual look. Alternatively, team a pair of brogues with suits for a fashion-forward office look or new going out style.

We’ve got some great news for you ladies. If you’ve always wanted a dress fit for the Oscars then look no further. You can get your hands on one at Debenhams. We’ve also picked out a few of our favourite leading ladies and selected the Debenhams dresses guaranteed to make you look like a star…

Get Amanda’s gown; the Ben de Lisi jewelled necklace evening dress

Amanda Posey, producer for nominated film ‘An Education’, wore this beautiful Ben de Lisi creation from his Debenhams occasionwear range for the Oscars. Turquoise is definitely a colour of the season and if it’s good enough for the Academy Awards then you can be sure it will look stunning for your special occasion.

Get Penelope’s look with Debut’s red rose corsage ball gown

Penelope Cruz was a vision in red Donna Karen and we’ve got a fabulous Debut dress to get the look without the celebrity price tag. It’s a classic and timeless style that’s always in fashion.

Get Jane’s look with Debut’s orange knot front dress

Jane Seymour’s strapless dress was a favourite of ours. The light fabric flattered her figure and the knot detail creates a vertical line down the dress which is slimming and leg-lengthening.

Get Kristen’s look with Debut’s Purple Rose Corsage Ball Gown

Kristen Stewart opted for a deep midnight, floor-length dress by Monique Lhuillier, similar to our Debut Corsage gown. It’s perfect for a formal occasion or a fabulous option for bridesmaids.

These dresses are available online and in selected stores while stocks last.
