Here at DSUK we are getting incredibly excited about our first sale of 2012 on Friday 2^nd March to Sunday 4^th at The Chelsea Old Town Hall and all the fabulous stock we’ll be bringing to you, our wonderful customers! There’s going to be some great new stock full of colour and vibrancy to really get you ready for Spring/Summer this year…and it’s exactly what we’ll need to brighten up our wardrobes once the rainy winter months have passed! However, here at DSUK we know how difficult it can be sometimes to turn that great designer bargain find into one great designer outfit! Yet worry not, lovely DSUK customers as we have a few tips on how to style up some of the great stock we’ll be bringing to you this March!

Idea 1 -

Sophia Kokosalaki silk blouse

This gorgeous electric blue blouse from Sophia Kokosalaki is reminiscent of the fabulously bright blues that were popularly worn during the 1950s. Therefore, at DSUK we reckon that this blouse would look great paired up with a high waisted black pencil skirt. A thick black waist belt (we suggest that if you can find a lovely vintage one with a gold buckle, buy it! as it would match up beautifully). To continue with the 1950′s look add a simple black scarf that can be tied round your head and to really finish off the funky fifties style add a cute little satchel bag and some stilettos of your choice. Plus, if you fancy adding to this adorable look even more, go for some luscious curls in your hair and paint on that red lipstick girls!

Idea 2

Margiela, grey wool knit.

This great grey, woolen knit dress from Martin Margiela has many wonderful ways in which you style queens out there could wear it. However, here at DSUK one of our favourite ways to wear this great piece is to dress it up; we suggest that you add some gold statement, chain necklaces paired up with some gold bangles to add a bit of sparkle. Team the dress up with a pair of black leggings/tights or some great floral statement tights to really take the outfit up a gear. Then throw on a tailored black blazer/jacket, some killer heels and make like the fabulous Edie Sedgwick with smoky eyes and think black eyeliner with nude lips to really pull this look together. 

Idea 3  - 

Kokosalaki knitted dress

At DSUK we think that this lovely knit from Kokoslaki just oozes sophistication, and despite this being a beautiful piece from Kokosalaki, we think that if accessorized right you lovely DSUK customers will look like you’ve just stepped out of a Chanel photo shoot. Wear this dress with black tights, black bow pumps, a long pearl necklace and some pearl bracelets with a quilted chain bag. Then to really finish off the Chanel look add a black ribbon to your hair, nude eye make-up with a little eyeliner and rouged lips to really showcase your femininity and style. With a look like this we can guarantee that men will be falling at their feet everywhere you go!
