Us girls in the DP office have some what of an obsession for nail colour. Whether it’s pillar box red, a glittery sparkle or a burgundy hue we love it! So we’ve found the hottest colours we’re set to be wearing in 2012.
As well as making a big impact in your wardrobe this season, pastel colours set to be a great look for your fingertips. Our favourites are peach or a pretty lilac shade which Jessie J wore at the Brit Awards launch.
We’re still loving the deep, dark shades that were popular over winter. This year navy and red wine colours are set to be on trend. To ensure your nails look beautifully tidy, shape them short and square like Kimberly Wyatt.
Get rid of the winter blues and enjoy a burst of colour with super bright nails. We love Michelle Williams and her magenta nails - gorgeous! Clash colours with your outfit to make a real statement.

We're giving you a couple of our top tips to look and feel gorgeous this New Year.
Brush it Beautiful
Get rid of that dry winter skin with a body brush and some fruity body scrub. It’ll leave your skin sparkling and super smooth.
The Perfect Pout
Be brave and brighten up your lips with a hot fuchsia colour. Looking for something for night then pick up a dark rose shade to perfect your pout.
Keep it Fit
The easiest way to keep fit is to do it with your friends. Head to an aerobics class with a group of girls, have a giggle and before you know it you’ve done an hours exercise.
Pretty In Pink
Pastel and candy colours are set to be a hot look for 2012. Get a splash of spring in your wardrobe with a cute flamingo print jumper.
Stay Fresh
Water. Water. Water. Drink at least 1.5 litres of water a day and not only will you feel better but your skin will thank you for it.
Happy 2012! x
So we may only be 4 days into 2012, but we can't hold back any longer... we just have to give you a sneaky peek at our new collections hitting down this Spring/Summer!
Our first look is New Gen, which has only just launched instore and online. It's a riot of blooms, bursting with fresh colours such as jade and seagreen.
Metallics are going take centre stage, but with a Spring update! Think soft pastel colours, but with added sparkle. The must have skinny jean get sparkly too!
You're in for a sweet treat with our candy shades, seen again through denim, cute floral tops and sun dresses. We can't wait for the warmer weather!!
And we know how much you love your accessories, so just had to post this pic of our safari-themed shoes and bags! The gold embellishment is just the finishing touch to freshen up your wardrobe!
2011 has been a BIG year for fashion. From celeb weddings to celeb parties, and catwalk moments, it has been a year of killer style headlines.
Red Carpet battle commenced at The Golden Globes in January, with Anne Hathaway getting our top vote. Kate Moss returned to the catwalk in February, and then again in September for Louis Vuitton, and in true Mossy style, smoked her way down from start to end.
Speculation around 'who' designed THE Royal Wedding dress reached fever pitch in Spring, with Sarah Burton finally being unveiled as Kate Middleton stepped out of her wedding car. Lady Gaga has been predicably outlandish at times, and controversially, quite 'ladylike' at times!
The second Royal wedding of the year sealed our love of Kate Moss forever, with her delicate, but fabulous choice of Galliano, as her dress maker. And speaking of royalty, Alexa Chung has continue her reign as Queen of Style, with a barrage of seemless looks throughout the year, which have earned her British Fashion Council's top Style Award.
But if there is one celeb we have loved to stalk on the style stakes all year round, it's Solange Knowles. That girl sure knows how to work a print, and here at DP we just love a print too!!
We take a look back at our highlights in pictures, but tell us whose style you have loved!
Girls, we're in Crimbo Limbo....Christmas Day and Boxing Day have passed... some of us are back to work.. sob sob, and NYE is is touching distance, but we are not quite there. So what to do in this bermuda triangle phase? Start planning your NYE outfit!
Glitter and sparkle has been a hit this Christmas, so why stop for NYE? Last weeks VH1 Divas Celebrate Soul was awash with shimmering red carpet looks. Here are our top three looks and how to steal their style with a little help from the DP sale ....
Florence Welsh - dark nails, nude accessories work seamlessly with this nude shimmer dress.
Estelle - keeps this gold column dress minimal with a touch of gold jewellery.
Jennifer Hudson - goes all out with a blush body con and blush thigh-high boots.. when you've got it, flaunt it!
DP headquarters was yesterday transformed into a Winter wonderland with our annual decorating competition.
Different departments in DP took the Christmas movie theme oh so seriously with preparations starting early last week all to try and win one of the awards on offer.
We loved looking at all the creativity while enjoying mince pies and champagne - getting proper into the festive spirit.
For taking the competition so seriously and making most effort the E-commerce department was awarded for their Happy Feet decorations.
We loved The Elf theme created by the girls in the Design department.
The scrooge award went to the dresses department for their Grinch theme.
And for being so traditional, we really liked the Casual Woven department who went with the classic Snowman movie.
Happy Christmas to you all! x
