But now, look at the new spring collection! The low-market prices have stayed indifferent, and yet the upper-market-mango-meets-topshop-esque look has been ignited. Is this the start of a new look New Look?

new look for new look?
I'm not sure if many of you have heard of it, but I think im just destined to always having an undivided opinion on major high street chain New Look. When i was a wee 12-13 year old, New Look gave me affordable highlighter-toned jumpers and t-shirts and Hello-Kitty print T-shirts and bags. It was during my era of chav-iness that i would rather just forget and bury somewhere deep at the bottom of the ocean. Situated in the local chav-land of the Hertfordshire/Cambridgeshire, Stevenage, it has fallen deeper and deeper into my 'no-go' pile of shopping destinations, and well, i'm almost too scared to walk underneath the lurid 'New Look' banner!

I would love the grey and black jumper as a dress, and the actual dress itself.
I'm impressed! They've pulled back a bit it seems. I always go in there thinking I must be able to find something I like, but it never seems to happen
All I can think about at the moment:

I love the picture on the side of the drawing of the women! I also the the grey and black jumper dress too! Why dont you come and visit my blog spot some time it would be great to have you
the shoes are ahmazing arent they?
and...
great stuff! I wish we had these kind of stores here...
Wow! Those are some really chic pieces and the prices are great.
it's true, they're getting better and better - disputable quality, but still, cheap trendy pieces. Might consider that wolf tshirt ;)!
OMG! I love that lace skirt!! :)
Wow that skirt is a winner!
BTW, I didn't know Vogue actually wrote back! That's a neat letter. Good luck on your fashion journalism dreams. =D
Im lusting after a grey fringed bag.
And fringed ankle boots.
Obviously worn on seperate occassions. ;)
Also, I just read your post on the letter that you wrote to Vogue. We are so similar its crazy!
I too began my infactuation of being a fashion journalist at the age of 12...after watching 13 going on 30! haha. And I also find The Hills so inspiring for clothes. I mean, you gotta love it. lol.
And magazine inspiration? Don't get me started. ;)
oh I'm sure gonna check that store when I go to London (in the next weeks). Would you mind recommending me more stores on my blog, please? :)
oh i love these! great picks :)
Also I just realized you live in Cambridge - I LIVE IN CAMBRIDGE TOO!!
Those things all look rather cool, especially those shoes!
We don't have new look here, so I don't really know whether I'd have liked it or not...
:)
Kisses,
Cate
ohh, don't we all have a phase or two that we'd rather bury? or in my case,set on fire, tie to something very heavy, and then drop into the sea.
i haven't been shopping for quite a while, but i was thinking that i'd better go to New Look as well. the wolf top is pretty good. x
the barrok-printed skirt and I would wear that grey/black sweater as a dress, with thights.ç
nice writing style!
xx
New Look has slowly been creeping up on me, I have quite liked their recent stuff. And era of chavness?! I would have never guessed!!!
Nice pieces, I love the striped shirt !
I'm loving the wolf shirt, and the teal fringe bag is to die for!
i love these, especially that dress with the purple around the waste (;

That lace skirt and the shoes look amazing! I need one of those shops here fast!
