            <p>Spring has finally set-in after a really long winter and trending this season are gorgeous <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Accessories.aspx">accessories</a> every girl must have. </p>
            <p>Go transparent with clear, look through chunky <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/womens-bracelets.asp">bracelets</a>. They look perfect with any colour, especially those light-coloured clothes, such as your whites and pastels. Go sexy and sleek with botanical jewels on your accessories. Flowers, leaves all twined up in jewellery form to create the perfect accessory you must own.</p>
            <p>Black and white are usually the safest colours any girl goes with, so why not use that to your advantage? Carry around a white-<a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/HandBags.aspx?parentid=1&amp;categoryid=2&amp;subcategoryid=74">clutch</a> or <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/fashion-handbags.asp">handbag</a> wherever you go. The good thing about this baby is that it can be matched with everything in your closet. Therefore it is a good investment, and won&rsquo;t reduce the weight in your wallet. Clutch purses on an elegant night out would look really pretty if you take it to another level. Try purchasing tinier clutches with jewels, and shine that suit your outfit. They would make any simple outfit look sexy.</p>
            <p>Don&rsquo;t want to spend too much?&nbsp;Pick simple&nbsp;accessories such as&nbsp;bracelets, bangles and rings. Match them well and stack them up, transforming your accessories into stacked jewellery, which looks dazzling. </p>

            <td valign="top">
            <p>So this fashion trend has been repeating itself constantly over the past year. When fashion undergoes the circle of life, it is safe to say that you will not be burning a hole in your pocket. Just keep digging and picking the back of your closet, and you would probably find something apt to wear.</p>
            <p>You don&rsquo;t have to go all the way with being a complete metal-head. A simple bodycon skirt or a jazzed up blouse would do wonders for a clubbing night-out. If you are looking to wear something more sober, but still follow the metallic trend then buy yourself some <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Accessories.aspx">accessories</a>. Go for the accessories that are fresh silver, or gold, and not the rustic kind. The shinier silver or gold trinkets give it the metallic look.</p>
            <p>Want to make a great fashion statement? Then wear your little black dress with a pair of black <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/womens-high-heel-shoes.asp">high-heeled</a> pumps and minimal accessories, and jazz it up with a sequined <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/HandBags.aspx?parentid=1&amp;categoryid=2&amp;subcategoryid=74">clutch bag</a>. Nothing looks as gorgeous as simplicity with a touch Tinkerbell&rsquo;s shine.</p>
            <p>Metallics have been trending this spring and they should be finding a special place in your closet soon.</p>

            <p>Fancy a fancy bag? Then consider investing in a Coach handbag, just like our favourite celebs have. <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/HandBags.aspx">Bags</a> are a must have for most girls, and if you&rsquo;re one of those girls who just needs to own a label this bags are a must. Every girl dreams of owning a high-end label be it <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/HandBags.aspx">handbags</a> or <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Shoes.aspx">shoes</a>, and this is the appropriate time to do so.</p>
            <p>These <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/fashion-handbags.asp">bags</a> come in various styles. The Coach Legacy Penny purse, which is definitely designed to fit simplicity at its best, whilst the Coach Legacy Mini Tanner bags are slightly larger and come in scintillating colours including tan, yellow and pink. These bags fit any occasion, be it night or day, lunch or dinner, business or pleasure. The other style is The Coach leather Legacy Pinnacle Hayley <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/HandBags.aspx?parentid=1&amp;categoryid=2&amp;subcategoryid=72">satchel</a>, that just hits that fashion soft-spot.</p>
            <p>The most efficient thing about the bags are that they can be worn as <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/HandBags.aspx?parentid=1&amp;categoryid=2&amp;subcategoryid=73">shoulder bags</a> or even as casual cross-body bags. Rita Ora and Miranda Kerr have been spotted in these lovely puppies, as well. For those bag lovers out there these bags will be a great addition to your wonderful collection.</p>

            <td valign="top">
            <p>Hide away the paisleys, graphics and self-colours and mix up your closet with stripes. A good thing about this print is that it is entirely colour dependent. This means that even if you own a couple of striped shirts, a striped blazer or a striped <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/HandBags.aspx">handbag</a>, it wouldn&rsquo;t look the same (if the colours vary of course).</p>
            <p>Get the sailor look by wearing a vertical nautical striped tie-up shirt, with a pair of white shorts and wedge heel <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Shoes.aspx">shoes</a>. One up the look by adding a touch of red lipstick to give it that sexy oomph! Go the candy-striper way by wearing a white-red striped shirt with a pair of jeans and <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/womens-high-heel-shoes.asp">high-heeled</a> red pumps. </p>
            <p>If you aren&rsquo;t daring enough to go loud, then invest in a striped blazer or a striped mini-skirt. Not looking for anything expensive? Then just pop by your nearest high-street retail stores and you shall definitely find something. If you want to mix it up, then you should pair your graphic festival t-shirt with a striped blazer and your grungiest pair of cut-off denims. The same can be done with a striped skirt, or a sober striped shirt, just mix it up with anything in your wardrobe. Wear your favourite black and white striped shirt with a polka dotted <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/womens-scarves.asp">scarf</a>. You&rsquo;d think it would look hideous, but go ahead and try it. Dazzle up your striped collection by accessorising well with chunky jewellery such as knuckle rings or collared <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/womens-necklaces.asp">necklaces</a>.</p>
            <p>Just remember, be daring and pair something that you wouldn&rsquo;t dare to, and challenge that gut feeling. You can never go wrong with fashion and style.</p>

            <p>So we have basically tried all the possible kind of <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Shoes.aspx">shoes</a> this past year. We went from <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/womens-ankle-boots.asp">boots</a>, to pumps, to platform <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/womens-high-heel-shoes.asp">high heels</a> to wedges. But we haven&rsquo;t seen it all this year. If you are looking for a fine pair of heels that keep detail as their priority then you will be fascinated with the new range of shoes that were present at the AW 2012-13 catwalks.</p>
            <p>Ranging from filigree cages that were beautifully wrapped up in a pair of stilettos by Ralph Lauren, to vintage looking prints that were embedded on wooden heels by Rochas, almost all styles carried off the designed filled heels on the catwalk. According to Vogue, new-comer Joanne Stoker&rsquo;s designs were inspired by stain glass windows that she spotted during her travels.</p>
            <p>They say fashion is art and these printed heels define it. These kinds of heels are the epitome of detail and they reflect fine detailed craftsmanship by their respective designers. Since they are loud enough to grab attention by themselves, just strap them on a pair of jeans or leggings and you would be ready to strut the high-street in style. It&rsquo;s just simplicity at its best!</p>

            <p><font face="Arial">Call Mother Nature &lsquo;cause her colour has taken over the high street this spring-summer.&nbsp; Camouflages, army greens and light browns have all hit the stores, and it looks extremely rustic. Khaki green has always been a rugged favourite for tee shirts and cargo pants. However, this season you can go chic with green dresses, brown skirts and camouflaged trousers.</font></p>
            <p><font face="Arial">If you want to go the rugged way, then strap on a pair of cargo trousers with a racer-back white tank and wear them with a pair of Converse. If you want to look office chic then wear a khaki-green chiffon buttoned-up shirt, tucked in a pair of slim black denims, combined with high-heeled shoes. Want to keep it simple? Then go ahead and invest in a good rugged looking green strap-on watch&hellip; if not just steal your boyfriend&rsquo;s!</font></p>
            <p><font face="Arial">Be it chic or rugged the camo-look looks good in every way. Personally, I think the colour brings out the sexy-smart look in everyone. </font></p>

            <p><font face="Arial">Well, a white shirt is something you must have in your closet. As you can see that one piece of fabric can be worn an umpteen number of times and no one will ever notice. Great for your closet and great for your wallet too!</font></p>

            <p>The one thing common in all the high-street retail stores this spring-summer are textured skirts. Paisley, lace, crochet, imprinted and a lot more are present in all the stores. These skirts look gorgeous for practically every occasion. Office-wear to party-wear these skirts fit any event perfectly.</p>
            <p>These skirts usually have prints embedded in their material and therefore the skirt is fancy enough by itself. Their something a girl must have in her wardrobe. The more fitted the skirt the better the look&hellip; but that doesn&rsquo;t mean you have to wear a really tight skirt. Bodycon skirts, bandaged skirts, minis and peplums all look great on any body type. And the good thing is they can be worn with any <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Accessories.aspx">accessories</a>, <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Shoes.aspx">shoes</a> and <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/HandBags.aspx">bags</a>.

            <p>The Oscar&rsquo;s 2013 red carpet saw a number of gorgeous starlets wearing classy gowns and dresses. That red carpet has experienced several levels of glamour walk across it and as usual this annual event that took place recently did not fail to meet its expectations. There were a few misses, but there were a lot of hits to conceal them.</p>
            <p>Jennifer Lawrence sported a Christine Dior off-white tubed gown. The dress bordered on Bridal, but isn&rsquo;t that what the Oscar&rsquo;s are about&hellip;BIG? Lawrence carried off the puffy gown with elegance, keeping the <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Accessories.aspx">accessories</a> at minimum. She wore a thin <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/womens-necklaces.asp">necklace</a> that was placed down her bare back.</p>
            <p>Catherine Zeta Jones looked gorgeously sexy in a sleek gold floor-length gown designed by Zuhair Murad, which trailed down the carpet. Her gown had a textured gold pattern and eventually flowed into a netted trail.</p>
            <p>Naomi Watts carried off an Armani with style. This scaly textured gunmetal dress reminded me of a mermaid&rsquo;s tail, however the neckline cut gives the dress a whole new look. With her pinned back hair tied in a bun, Watts kept the accessories at minimal.</p>
            <p>Amanda Seyfried wore a beautiful gown custom made by Alexander McQueen and Roger Vivier <a href="http://www.a-shu.co.uk/Shoes.aspx">shoes</a>.</p>
            <p>Jessica Chastain was seen wearing a Salmon straight-cut gown, by Armani. Keeping it simple, she wore her hair down and left her neck bare. The dress is textured with silver studs that add the perfect amount of glitz and glam to her dress.</p>
            <p>Simplicity at its best is what Kerry Washington portrayed. Wearing a pink Prada gown, the actor looked stunning in a satin flowy gown. The bust of the dress had heavy work on it, but that gave it the style.</p>
            <p>There were a few in-betweeners such as Anne Hathaway, whose dress was also simplicity at its best. However it was so simple, that the poor Princess Mia faced a wardrobe malfunction. </p>
