The best and worst in fashion this week: Bargains, Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton
What we love, we're buying and we're not sure about

We love… Knit wit
Knitwear and sports trainers are not the most natural of collaborations but quirky Brit brand Sibling has teamed up with Puma on a range of trainers. While not exactly featuring woolly warmers, the styles come adorned with the brand’s signature bright prints.

We’re not sure about… Bargain hunters
There’s something about the word "sale" that makes shopping decorum fly right out of the window. It’s not just sharp elbows to watch out for. In the midst of such a shopping frenzy is often where the worst purchasing decisions are made. Navigate those sale rails carefully.
We’re buying… Pick-me-ups
Cold weather and over-indulgence can leave even the hardiest festive reveller in need of a bit of TLC. Aromatherapy Associates has just the treat with its 30th anniversary Renewing Rose Body Velvet which provides skin with well needed nourishment.

We can’t wait for… McQueen moment
As we head into 2015 the eagerly anticipated opening date of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty draws closer. The exhibition hosted at the V&A celebrates the work of the visionary designer. You’ll find us first in line on opening day.

We’re visiting… Glam getaway
For those lucky enough to be escaping Blighty by way of Heathrow Terminal 5, there’s a treat in store with Louis Vuitton’s brand spanking new store. The retail location will house the brand’s entire product offering including, of course, luggage.
