As Jenny said yesterday Arlene Phillips (ex strictly judge and famous choreographer) has added some goreous new pieces to her Autumn/ Winter collection at Marisota. The Arlene Phillips fashion range is made to help you feel fabulous and to flatter every curve.

I adore this mock wrap jersey top from Arlene’s fashion collection:

This flattering top comes in a choice of Cobalt Blue, Red and Black and is made of a soft jersey fabric.  The mock wrap style highlights you waist whilst the draping hides a multitude of sins! Wear it with tights and heels when you’re feeling daring, or with wide leg trousers for a perfect party look!

Arlene Phillips has made some fabulous additions to her fashion range this September, Arlene’s fashion collection has been very popular here at Marisota and I’m glad to say I love her new outfits. Now at the request of one of our commenters here is one of my fave pieces from the new additions!

This gorgeous tunic couldn’t be better for all those fabulous occasions over the winter and it can be worn in so many ways! Wear with leggings, boots and a leather jacket for a rocker twist or add silver heels for party glamour. The sheer fabric is flattering without being too revealing and the beading ensures it’s the perfect party top.

So don’t forget to stop by and check out Arlene Phillips’ fashion collection at Marisota. It’s exclusive to us and it’s fabulous!

If there’s one thing  every woman needs it’s a variety of gorgeous handbags! This week we’ll be focusing on the best bags at Marisota.co.uk. I’m taking the splurge options, they can be found in the Marisota online exclusives section where you’ll find lots more goodies that are only available from the website!

Blow the budget

For those days when only the best will do!

Best Grab Bag

This stunning Cheet London grab bag features gorgeous “crunch” leather in caramel tan (also available in grey and blue) and knot detail. It’s definitely a “splurge” at £179 but sooo worth it! I love the vintage look and see thi9s with tweed trousers, a tucked in fitted shirt and tan heels!

Best Shoulder Bag

This gorgeous shoulder bag by Modula Gaudi is perfect for high class nights on the town. It comes in a sumptuous cream leather and features chain detail to the strap and a bow to the shoulder. Wear it with an LBD, cream heels and a smooth chignon for perfect retro chic! It’s £155 and worth every penny plus I think it would go perfectly with Arlene Phillips’ clothing collection here at Marisota!

Enjoy, Jenny will be along tommorow with the best mid range bags - not quite the same splurge but gorgeous styles in premium fabrics - Divine!

Everyone has a favourite wardrobe staple, whether it’s jeans, trousers or skirts. I love dresses!I think they’re the most versatile piece ever! Stick one on with sandals and it’s perfect for summer, or add tights and boots for a gorgeous winter look! You can even wear your favourite dress with jeans and trainers for a perfect casual outfit!

These are my favourite dresses for the new season and a few ideas on how to wear them best!

The Jersey Dress

A jersey dress is one of the easiest ways to look smart and stylish and this Arlene Phillips jersey dress couldn’t be better. One of the key products from Arlene Phillips’ fashion range, it features a gorgeous, warm colour palette from Arlene’s new collection at Marisota and with its soft gathering and waist detail it will nip you in and keep you looking gorgeous. Add smart knee boots for a formal look, heels for hitting the town or gold or brown sandals for the perfect summer outfit next season (or on your hols!)

The Work Dress

This lovely smart dress couldn’t be better for work or a formal meal. Just add tights and heels for a stylish, polished look! what makes it even better is that it’s only £30 - 33 - bargain!

Come back soon for updates on Arlene’s range and on the new season, plus Sophie takes you behind the scenes of our latest TV ad! - Exciting!

Get ready to wrap up this Autumn in these gorgeous coats from Marisota. I’ve chosen my favourite for a range of occasions.

Casual coat

I love wearing this padded jacket with jeans at weekend. It’s ideal for shopping, walking in the park and trips to the cinema!Plus, starting at £40 it’s a bit of a bargain!

Waterproof jacket

We’re all bound to need a waterproof soon (if we don’t already) and this cute patterned waterproof jacket by Regatta makes a refreshing change from the usual boring waterproof. It comes in a chioce of black or pink and features a pretty patterned design.

Smart Jacket - Arlene Phillips pleat detail coat

My absolute favourite jacket for the new season is this gorgeous pleat detail coat from Arlene Phillips’ collection here at Marisota.

It has gorgeous feature buttons and pleat detail to front and back making it perfect for formal wear, an ideal smart work jacket and a great choice for nights on the town.

I’m a major fan of Arlene’s range  and really hope she’ll be adding to her fab collection - it’s definitely my style!

Arlene has recently featured in the Daily Mail’s supplement YOU magazine to discuss her career, Strictly Come Dancing, her new fashion range here at Marisota and her ambition to get the nation dancing with her future projects.

Arlene Phillips, like many of us has to work at her weight which is why she was so passionate to do a collection with Marisota. The fashionable range clings to the good bits and drapes beautifully over areas you’d rather hide.

Here at Marisota we’re loving Arlene Phillips’ clothing range, but we want to know what you think….What’s you favourite item and why?
