Style Note: Feeling Frou Frou?

Candy Cane, Primark

When it comes to playful lingerie, they say less is more, and that saying couldn't be more true when it comes to Primark (or 'Primarni' as many of us lovingly call it!). But I'm talking about the price, not the detail. I always say that you can't go wrong with Parisian chic panties - frills and bows -you know the type: flirty, pretty little numbers that bring out the 'frou frou' in you. I've found some great finds from just £2.50.

Now you're guaranteed a far greater lingerie section at the Oxford street branch, but if you just fancy popping in closer to home, head down to your local Primark and take your pick from their SS/09 collection. Today I'll be spending my loose change on the Candy Cane and Aqua Seersucker set. So pretty and shamelessly affordable.

What's On: Graduate Fashion Week

Graduate Fashion Week

GRADUATE FASHION WEEK OPENING TIMES

Sunday 7th, Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th: 10.30am - 7.00pm
Wednesday 10th: 10.30am – 7.30pm
Thursday 11th: 9.00am - 5.30pm

Thank God for Graduate Fashion Week! I've been desperately trying to fill the void since the fashion week in London ended. So I'll definitely be attending next week's Gala Awards Show to check out the new, up and coming designers. Graduate Fashion Week is being presented by retailer River Island and this year we will see the celebration of work by more than 1000 of the best BA Degree fashion students.

The exhibition opens to the public on Sunday the 7th of June and this event is a must-go-see for the latest emerging fashion talent. Last year, Jessica Au picked up the coveted award for her quirky eccentric collection. Off the back of her win, she currently designs for River Island and has her sights firmly set on establishing her own label and distributing internationally.

There will be some big names at the graduate fashion gala, including a star studded panel to judge the designers battling it out for the prestigious Gold Award; Fashion guru Matthew Williamson, Giles Deacon and Editor in Chief of Elle Lorraine Candy will grace the panel hot seats. The prize for this year's winner is a super sweet £20,000 and the announcement will take place on the 10th of June at Earls Court 2. Public open day tickets are available from £5.00.
