Shopping gets easier with Topshop online

Halloween treats, bonfire night toffee apples, Christmas turkey and New Year champagne – it seems impossible to enjoy the upcoming festive season without being bombarded by goodies and the guilt of indulgence. Luckily, Lee Jeans' new Natural Fit with special interior design and slimming features is a women’s latest secret weapon that allows you to look and feel great even after enjoying your fair share of the holiday loot.
Grey Matters
Back in 2004 brown was the new black, last year black was the new black, but the new “black” for 2006 is most definitely grey! The high-street is embracing grey for winter, taking its lead from designers such as Alexander McQueen whose Autumn/Winter 2006/7 ready-to-wear collection included chunky grey cable-knit cardigans - synched at the waist by wide leather belts - worn over wide-leg pants with oversized turn-ups. Masculine double-breasted trouser-suits with subtle pinstripes also made a striking appearance on the runway.

Dressing for work and play
Dresses are a great low maintenance choice for working women - they’re easy to grab from the wardrobe when you’re in a hurry and don’t have the time to agonize over matching up your top with your trousers or skirt. More feminine than a trouser suit, they’re also really versatile, and this season there’s a style to flatter every shape and budget. As Christmas inevitably draws closer, they’re also a good option that will take you from day to evening - or from office to after work drinks!
