Who said pink was just for girls? This season the boys also get a chance to enjoy the mouth-watering sorbet colours gracing catwalks.

The spring summer collection from Hackett London evokes escape to sand-swept terrains and summer in all its glory. Natural fabrics play a key role in the collection with garment dyed linens and cottons printed with floral patterns and motifs. The cut is also more streamlined, without being skinny, harking back to 1950's style. More...

Colour is King this spring and one of the easiest ways to inject a splash of colour into any outfit is the addition of a colourful timepiece.

The latest watch collection from Juicy Couture is without question an array of mouth-watering pieces, sure to brighten up any look for the season ahead. With a focus on bright pinks, ruby reds, daring yellows and burnt oranges, they'll really inject a sense of fun into any spring outfit. More...

Pastels are one of the big trends in colour this year with delicious ice-cream shades on all kinds of fabric featuring heavily on spring summer catwalks including Burberry, Christopher Kane, Chanel and Marc Jacobs to name just a few.

GANT has gotten in on the pastel action and has drawn inspiration from Italy & the zestful Italian way of life. The result is a collection of modern...read more

Paris may be considered the city of love but, romance aside, it can be paradise for shoppers too. I was lucky enough to live and work in the city. When friends flew over to visit, they inevitably wanted to gather up some Parisian chic and bring it back to show off at home. I developed a little treasure-trail of fashion fancies and cute bijoux boutiques which never failed to please. Here's my tried-and-tested guide to shopping (to keep Irish visitors happy!) in Paris.

If you've any suggestions for shopping, food or whatever please let us know and we'll add it.

The Marais The vibrantly-gay Marais area of Paris naturally features numerous upscale boutiques but avoid the neon stores and go for old-world charm instead and you're in for a treat. Maverick retailers stock quality vintage-wear and bespoke jewellery galore. Get lost and find a bargain! Scoff some falafel if you get peckish - it's also the Jewish quarter.

DOM Christian Koban (21 Rue Sainte Croix la Bretonnerie) What is probably best described as a more edgy Urban Outfitters, DOM sell everything from rubber raincoats to uber-funky furniture. They stock a range of clothes and jewellery and tend to have a small but adorable selection of both men's and women's-wear with really great price tags. Last time I was there, I left with 2 pairs of jeans, a scarf and a jumper with change from €100. (more...)

One of the hottest trends for Spring Summer 2010 in my eyes has to be 'Future Warrior'. This fierce, sexy, powerful look is the next evolution of the military trend. Essentially it's a mish mash of tribal elements and military detailing flash-forwarded to a galactic age.

It's without question one of my favourite trends to grace the runways this season. At the core of this trend is ancient warrior elements modernised with futuristic twists. It features plenty of metal plating, leather tunics, chain-mail inspired detailing, tribal inspired motifs and breastplate-like accents. Read more...

One trend that has captured the imagination of designers and consumers alike this season is ethical fashion. Celebrities have jumped on board - Natalie Portman, Jo Wood and singer Little Boots, are just some of the names who are all eager to flaunt their ethical fashion foot print.

Harry Potter actress and face of Burberry, Emma Watson is the latest starlet to go ethical and has teamed up with 'People Tree' to create the "Love Emma" collection. The actress has taken time out from her studies at American University Brown to work as creative advisor along side the 'People Tree' design team to create a capsule collection influenced by her own personal style.

The collection includes cosy knits, organic cotton tees, poplin skirts and shorts in fabrics such as organic and fair trade cotton. The much anticipated range gives a fresh twist on Fair Trade fashion and will debut at Arnotts Project, Jervis Centre late February 2010.

'People Tree' garments are made by hand by fair trade groups in Bangladesh, India and Nepal. Through this action People Tree are helping to co-ordinate and provide livelihoods for underprivileged people living in these countries.

As the big day approaches it can be difficult trying to stay 'on trend' and choose a wedding dress that compliments your body shape. Here we share some favourite styles from this season and how to make them work for you.

The catwalks might have moved on to Autumn-Winter trends for 2010 but that's not much good to you if you're getting married over the next few months. If you haven't decided on your wedding dress (or are thinking of chucking the one you impulse bought six months ago and going for a different style!) now is a good time to take a look at current trends and decide how you can add some of your own personality and individuality to your wedding day look. If the big day is fast-looming and you're still on the hunt for the perfect bridal gown, the good news is that current wedding fashion trends are really diverse. You can have a wedding-gown style based on pretty much any era of fashion and still be extremely fashionable right now. How you wear it will make all the difference.

SLINKY SILHOUETTES BRINGING SEXY BACK Whether you've got a fabulous, slim figure or just some fantastic control underwear, now is the time to rejoice as sexy, figure-hugging wedding dress silhouettes are hot, hot, hot. (more...)

Ladies whether you follow the trend for a one-shoulder number or prefer to go strapless, make sure yours are worthy of exposure for the remainder of the chilly winter months ahead.

A regular on Off The Rails and Xpose, one of Ireland's most talented and in-demand stylists, it's the gorgeous red head that is Angela Scanlon. Also a fashion journalist, she writes for the Irish Independent and this month sees the launch of her brand new "Walking Wardrobe" feature in Irish Tatler. We sat down with her to pick her brains on all things style...

What five words best describe your style?
Casual, boyish, loose, tight, comfort.

Best style tip?
Give yourself something that becomes a signature. Maybe always wear a scarf or a slick of black eyeliner. Something that is recognisable and identifiable with you. (more...)

With the January sales in full swing, it's very easy to find yourself tempted to shop 'til you drop with high street stores touting bargains galore. Well, here at HelpMyStyle.ie we like to give you the inside track on getting the most from the sales so you don't end up with a wardrobe full of bargaintastic purchases that you never wear.

1. Keep an eye out for trends that will take you into Spring/Summer 2010.

2. Crop tops and one-shoulder styles are going to big next season so snap these up in bright shades and well cut styles to get a head start on the fashion posse.

3. Our obsession with all things Chanel inspired isn't over yet. Look out for navy, red and beige nautical inspired designs rather than the black and white monochrome we overindulged in this winter. (More...)

Few people can list fashion designer, model, actress and TV presenter on their CV but Virginia Macari is a truly versatile vixen. Fans of Podge & Rodge will know and love her for her new role as co-host with the boys on RTE 2's Stick-it Inn. We caught up with her to talk fashion.

What five words best describe your style?
Feminine, Strong, Extravagant, high-heels, Fun.

Best style tip?
I don't believe clothes have to be comfortable to look good. I've worn fabulous dresses I couldn't even sit in. If I love something and know it looks good on me, I'm more than happy to suffer for it. My tip for that is to just rock it with confidence. More...

My crowning glory is eternally plagued by frizz and split ends - inspite of me dolloping every known smoothing and protecting product on my tresses. Recently, I've noticed that my efforts have resulted in tame, but limp and lack-luster locks - and I wasn't sure how to add that extra oomph.

But help was at hand in the form of John Frieda's Luxurious Volume line, in particular, the Luxurious Volume Full Splendor conditioner. More...

Carrie Bradshaw's infatuation with statement shoes took hold in early 2000 so much so that the influence of SATC hangs over the whole last decade. As we enter the 'Tweenies' (or Twenty-tens) it's perhaps more important than ever to, quite literally, put your best foot forward...

So to give you a kick start we present some of our favourite fabulous footwear currently in stores.
