Trend alert! We could almost see the flashing sirens of the fashion police with the arrival of this latest trend… Camel is going to be HUGE this season. Beige tones, muted neutrals and warm caramel hues reigned supreme on the catwalks and they’ve translated so well to the high street this autumn. Will you be wearing it? Tell us in our poll below…

We saw a pic of Amanda Holden looking fabulous in this gorgeous pink dress recently. Nothing too out of the ordinary about that, right? Well, imagine our surprise when we looked a bit closer to find the world’s most stylish granny in the background. Rocking on-trend nude pinks, this mystery lady was giving Ms. Holden a run for her money in the style stakes!

Amanda Holden and the world's most stylish gran!

There’s nothing we love more at Oli.co.uk than donning our fave pair of heels, putting on a fabulous dress and hitting the dancefloor. So we recently ventured out in Leeds to spread some Oli.co.uk love and get our groove on! Here are the pics of us all rocking Oli outfits (with the exception of the boys…). We started with a fabulous buffet and a VIP area at a swanky bar in Leeds, then danced the night away:

Here’s the Oli gang enjoying a few drinks and nibbles (all wearing Oli.co.uk, of course!). Karen, our director is on the left working it in a fab maxi dress and Kath who looks after emails (in gold) had some lush eyelashes going on!

 Oli.co.uk night out!

V-Festival is as much about fab festival fashion as it is about the music and we spied some amazing outfits. The pop princesses were out in force in uber-glam dresses and heels – not a poncho or a dodgy wooly hat in sight!

The end of another week in the Oli.co.uk office and as usual, it’s been a whirlwind of fashion, trends, gossip and of course, clothes. And to top the week off, everyone from the Oli.co.uk office is off out on the town tomorrow night to paint the town red, Oli.co.uk style!

Another thing a few of us (maybe not the boys… Well, not all of them!) will be painting red is our nails. We’ve seen autumnal reds appearing in the new season collections recently and we’re never ones to shy away from trying a look. Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud, Kelly Brook and Sara Cox from BBC Radio 1 have all been spied rocking red nails. You know what they say, two’s a coincidence, three’s a trend!
