The Lipsy brand is all about celebrating fashion and femininity, which is why it’s one of our most popular lines for glamorous evening dresses. A Lipsy dress is instantly distinguished by its daring, figure hugging cuts aimed at bringing out effortless confidence in women of all shapes and sizes. If you have a big night out or a fancy meal lined up, the Lipsy collection should be your first port of call.

If you’re the kind of woman who feels lost without a good pair of heels, the autumn-winter season can be a tricky time. Heels aren’t just a stylish footwear option; they can boost your confidence significantly by providing a couple of inches of extra height, and helping to give definition to your legs. By comparison, flats can often leave us feeling a little, well, flat! This is where wedges can really be a lifesaver. While negotiating wet pavements and frosty roads in 5inch stilettos is definitely not advisable, a good wedge shoe combines the sturdiness of a flat shoe with the aesthetic benefits of a heel. They’re surprisingly versatile too – the right kind of wedge can work for just about any kind of outfit.

As with most things in life, the key to the perfect winter wardrobe is preparation. British weather is variable enough during the summer months; once we hit the winter stretch you could be facing anything from a pleasantly crisp frost to a torrential downpour – all of which will determine your outdoor wear options for the day. However, this needn’t mean spending a fortune on a different outfit for every type of weather extreme. By shopping well rather than shopping extravagantly, you can be ready to take on anything the season might throw at you, without compromising on style.

It’s time for another spotlight to be cast on one of our most popular fashion brands. The Melrose collection is all about bold colours and eye-catching patterns; perfect for adding a bit of zest to your autumn wardrobe! Here are a few of our favourites…

If you’re lucky enough to live near the countryside, you’ll know how beautiful the autumn can be. The days may be shorter and the temperature a little cooler, but there’s nothing that quite compares to the unique colours of an autumn evening, with the leaves slowly turning gold and late blooming plants showcasing some spectacular blossoms. If you want to make the most of this gorgeous season, some stylish Outdoorwear is essential. Here are a few of our favourite pieces…

When we think of the word ‘Tomboy’, the image that often comes to mind is those awkward pre-teen days of pudding-bowl haircuts and scraped knees. However, in fashion terms the Tomboy look is more about paying homage to the effortlessly laid-back, urbane styling of Hollywood icons like Katherine Hepburn and Diane Keaton. It can be a way of subtly playing around with your everyday look by adding a slightly masculine twist to an outfit, or an opportunity to make a bold statement with a really androgynous look. The Tomboy look in all forms has been a big feature in 2012 fashion and as ever Freemans is on hand to guide you through some of the key looks of the season…

From streetwise 80’s starlet to regal pop queen, nobody has consistently stayed ahead of the fashion curve quite like Madonna. Now you can get a touch of her unmistakeable pop star glamour with the new Material Girl Collection, a fashion range created by Madonna herself in collaboration with her daughter Lourdes, it’s now available in the UK right here at Freemans.

There may be no Glastonbury this year, but the summer of 2012 has still been packed with festivals, from the Edinburgh Fringe to a host of family-friendly local events. Needless to say, if you’re attending one of these events you’d better come prepared for whatever the British weather can throw at you! Fortunately, here at Freemans we’ve got you covered with some fabulous new items in our women’s coats, jackets and boots collections.
