This week’s TV Baftas gave us another chance to do one of our fave activities… Rating the outfits!

We’re happy to report that there were no major catwalk disasters, in fact the residents of celebsville were pretty well behaved in the style stakes. We were loving ex-Corrie star Tina O’Brien’s choice of outfit – a girlie bandeau dress and a statement clutch bag, definitely a million miles away from what she wore down the Rovers on Coronation Street!:

Click the images below to buy the outfit and steal Tina’s style:

Fiorelli bag, £45

Lipsy Oyster frilled dress, £65

Steve Madden suede bow shoes, £95

A perfect star style steal without the celebrity price tag! Love it.

Here at Oli, we naturally love the internet and all things online, but sometimes you just can’t beat a hard copy of a magazine to flick through. And, call us vain, but we can’t help but get excited every time we see something from Oli featured in one of our fave mags. This week, you might have seen our new press adverts featured in Grazia, Look magazine and more. If you fell in love with the outfits featured in the ads, you can buy them here:

Cheryl Cole style military dress, £30

Monochrome dress, £30

Nautical style button dress, £28

Another trend that’s been catching our eye is ruffles. Marie Claire recently ran a feature on how these has been all over the catwalks, from frothy nude hudes to sophisticated folds in bold tones. OK! Magazine picked this out as being a great way to get the look as seen on the Chloe catwalk:

There’s also been a fab media buzz about some of our brands:

French Connection’s SS10 collection features some fab brights and lush accessories. It’s been featured in Look, Now and Grazia.

Fiorelli’s new range of bags was featured in Look Magazine’s ‘Label Lust’ feature and Look also loved the tropical print Maxi dress by Firetrap.

Firetrap maxi dress, £70

Our SS10 Oli Fusion collection is the word on everyone’s lips at the moment, with one of our Fusion designers Olivia Rubin talking to Grazia about her new collection for Oli:

Valentine’s day is just around the corner and whether you’ve got a hot date or not, you can’t fail to have noticed the abundance of flowers, chocolates and heart-shaped balloons lining the aisles of shops up and down the country.

If you’re fed up of your fella making a panicked dash to the petrol station for the last scraggly bunch of flowers the night before February 14th, point him in the direction of our Valentine’s shop…

Treat yourself or drop a hint

We’ve got gorgeous jewellery, super-cute lingerie, hot date dresses and more. And he can order it all to be delivered direct to his sweetheart without even leaving his computer – so there’s no excuse!

Even if you don’t have a Valentine’s date planned, there’s always a reason to treat yourself… Get 20% off selected dresses this week. Consider it a gift from a secret admirer (plus it means the postman will be visiting, making your neighbours without, ahem, “gifts” green with envy!)

Share the love!

We’ve just heard the news that Ugly Betty has been cancelled after four brilliant seasons… Sob! The world of fashion TV will never be the same again.

Good to see that even this bombshell hasn’t derailed our favourite quirky, colourful character’s sense of style. America Ferrera wraps up to beat the January chill with a nod to nautical colours and detailing with her red shoes, blue tights and cute navy buttoned coat. We love the way she adds trademark kookiness by mixing it up with a statement handbag.

Ugly Betty is in its fourth season in America but has yet to air in the UK, we can’t wait for our fix of new Mode action but we’ll be sad to see Betty leave our screens for good. At least we still have a while to steal her style!

So, that’s Monday out of the way, phew. Hope you all had fab weekends!

It’s crazy how today’s just flown by. Mondays in the Oli office are always crazy (in a good way!) – researching the latest trends, digesting the latest celeb style news and of course, catching up on the weekend gossip! One of the trends that’s absolutely everywhere at the moment and that’s set to run right through spring is nude tones and neutral hues.

Don’t worry – we’re not suggesting you strip off in the name of fashion! Nude is the hottest shade to hit the catwalk in ages and is set to stick around for a goodwhile. From blush to beige, subtle pinks to creamy latte hues, the only colour to be seen in this season is a non-colour.

We’ve put together some of our favourite nude pieces to help you work this trend. It’s easy to wear and the multitude of nude shades you’re sure to find one to suit you. Try teaming loose nude knits with jeggings or opt for dresses in flowing fabrics and neutral colours. A quick way to update your look is to add a nude bag or some jewellery that fits the trend – a perfect quick fashion fix!

New trend - nudes

We couldn’t listen to another word about the cold and the snow, so we were thrilled to see Davina McCall show up in the nick of time to spring to the rescue with Celebrity Big Brother 7 and Got To Dance. Now we’re all happily gossiping away about the housemates (poor Basshunter getting dumped!) and trying out the moves we’ve seen on Got To Dance without a second thought about the weather.

But it’s not just the January TV fix that has us tuning in, we love her style, too. Davina McCall is the original yummy mummy, pairing sleek black staples with on-trend key pieces to give her style an edge whilst still being super-wearable.

Find out how to steal her style with our guide.
