As Seen In... Look

We were flicking through the latest copy of LOOK magazine and this gorgeous photo shoot caught our eye.

 
Named 'Princess Express', the spread was 'a sophisticated take on royal chic with pastel lace, brocade and bright suits'... maybe Kate Middleton should be taking notes!

The shoot featured not one, but two outfits from our upcoming collection - a distinguished turquoise jumpsuit and a resplendent blue embellished mini dress.

 
We loved the way LOOK styled the pieces, adding contrasting accessories, simple make-up and sleek, groomed hair, so we can't wait for them to become available in the next few weeks.

We'll keep you posted on when they arrive x

Rise Elite: As Seen In... Look

If you've flicked through Look this week, you'll have spotted DP frocks popping up all over the place. In particular, they're really loving Rise Elite, one of my favourite brands.

First, there was these two, in the feature 'Bargain A-List Dress Lookalikes':

 

Peach pleated dress (£45), Black pansy print dress (was £28, now £18)

Then, this fab pink and orange one turned up in a feature on cuffed dresses (one of their fashion trends of the week!):

As Seen In... Glamour

We've had loads of enquiries about this gorgeous tunic that was featured in the March issue of Glamour magazine, so I wanted to let you all know that it's in stock now!

Pink frill tunic - £28

Glamour picked out this tunic as it's so versatile and easy to wear- it looks equally good with a pair of indigo jeans as it does with leggings or tights. With the drop waist and bottom frill giving a bit of extra length, you might even want to try it with bare legs and a pair of cute sandals for spring.

If that's not enough to convince you you need it, how about 25% off? Shop during VIP Week and it'll only cost you £21. Just enter code DPVIPHQ at the checkout.

As Seen In... Glamour

Spring is in the air and we're all waiting for the day we can finally put on a pretty dress without the thick opaque tights and chunky cardis we've been living in for months.

Glamour is one step ahead and have put together a list of their Top 50 Spring Dresses on the high street right now - and guess what? We're in it!

They've picked out this gorgeous tiered dress, which we love because it combines two of our favourite spring trend - khaki and florals:

Khaki floral tiered dress - £30

Two's Company

Hit those mag stands this Friday to grab the April edition of Company, to get the pick of the High Street SS10 collections. DP HQs PR Guru Rachel gives the lowdown on our collection, whilst Miss S, Topshop, ASOS, Dune and more reveal their collections.

Vintage inspired fabrics make for a welcomed, fresh change to wintery rock n roll lines. Just loving the DP Collection white lace dress - very Vera Wang!

Return of the Mac

Could it be? Could our days of wrapping up so tight that stepping out of the door becomes a military operation, finally be over?

Yep, let's hear it for rain. That good ol'fashioned British weather staple. It's arrived just in time to herald our brand new season essential: the mac. As the elements throw up their latest challenge and that warm summer sun seems so far away, what better way to cheer yourself up, look stylish, and keep dry?

Marieclaire.co.uk have named our stone mac their 'Buy of the Day', further confirming that the seasons are a'changing both weather and fashion wise. Go classic with Marieclaire.co.uk's top pick, or if you fancy something a bit different, then why not try out the timeless in an eye-catching red or even (my personal fave) our fun black with white polka dotted number?

It's official, the mac is a must- have. Go get it.
