Limited Collection

This season is all about bold and bright colour and to celebrate the launch of the refurbished Marks and Spencer in Bolton the high street store can offer their new Limited Collection.

The collection calls for fashionistas to banish winter blues and brighten up your wardrobe with statement dresses, tops and coats in deep purple, scarlet red and chartreuse - this season's key colour, a mix of fifty per cent yellow and fifty per cent green. Team with a touch of black for a chic day look. Chartreuse is best complimented with rich violet. Try this coat for £75 with some plum leather gloves and a matching beret.

Limited Collection is M&S's most fashion-led range, with catwalk-inspired looks in the latest styles. The collection is constantly updated which is good news for us.

Stunning dresses in silk, satins and draped metallic lurex sit alongside slinky tops to create an overall ladylike look.

To get the perfect party outfit add diamante and sequin detail heels, jewels and gem encrusted clutches.

Or why not try this purple tunic top at just £15, perfect for an evening out - team with chunky jewels and pencil skirt or go for the leggings look, but remember, you've got to have a certain figure to pull off showing the tops of the legs and derier in this skin tight pair.

What's more, the new look store in Deansgate is also stocking a larger Per Una section - oh the joy.

Russian Doll

With winter setting in, the cold weather can leave you with more than just a chill - you can lose your sense of style in the dense fog of getting dressed in the dark! Just stop and switch on a light, it doesn't have to be so tragic.

Make like a Rusky and invest in this Russian Doll smock dress from Miss Selfridge for £38. Not only has it got the beading on the neck it's got the pretty puff sleeves. Wear over a black long sleeve top and leggings with your favourite snug Uggs and you'll be in true lumberjack spirit.

All you need now is an ice-cool vodka (Russian style) to warm you up.

Bubble Wrapped

Now we are not talking about adorning yourself with that wrap we all love to pop - we are talking about the bubble dress.

This satin number from Dorothy Perkins is just £40 and perfectly epitomises the look. Round neck, pulled in waist, puffball hem, satin sheen and prom style corsage to finish it off, what more could you want from a little blue/grey dress.

Bubble dresses are a clever, fashionable way to cover those lumps and bumps. This simple cocktail dress look says clean, classic and youthful - but keep the heels high, you want slim legs and slim arms, if you're lucky, peeking out of the outfit.

Mischa Barton, Rihanna and Chloe Sevigny have all been spotted in bubble dresses but if you're more hippy then hip then choose a lightweight fabric and a fitted back to showcase your curves.

Remember, don't let your bubble burst no matter what your budget, size or style.
