As seen in the press

Here at Oli, we naturally love the internet and all things online, but sometimes you just can’t beat a hard copy of a magazine to flick through. And, call us vain, but we can’t help but get excited every time we see something from Oli featured in one of our fave mags. This week, you might have seen our new press adverts featured in Grazia, Look magazine and more. If you fell in love with the outfits featured in the ads, you can buy them here:

Another trend that’s been catching our eye is ruffles. Marie Claire recently ran a feature on how these has been all over the catwalks, from frothy nude hudes to sophisticated folds in bold tones. OK! Magazine picked this out as being a great way to get the look as seen on the Chloe catwalk:

There’s also been a fab media buzz about some of our brands:

French Connection’s SS10 collection features some fab brights and lush accessories. It’s been featured in Look, Now and Grazia.

Fiorelli’s new range of bags was featured in Look Magazine’s ‘Label Lust’ feature and Look also loved the tropical print Maxi dress by Firetrap.

Our SS10 Oli Fusion collection is the word on everyone’s lips at the moment, with one of our Fusion designers Olivia Rubin talking to Grazia about her new collection for Oli:

Weary-footed fashionistas rejoice! The queen of towering heels, Victoria Beckham, has finally toned down her super-groomed WAG look and has been papped stepping out in flat pumps. Hoorah!

Of course, heels are fantastic for adding that extra bit of glamour to your outfit but even we have to admit there are times when a pair of stylish pumps are definitely called for. By teaming flatties with leggings or tights and this season’s staple – a cute tunic – you’ve got instant toned-down style that’s bang on trend. And now even stiletto-crazy Victoria Beckham has given comfy, cool and cute flats the green light, we don’t need to feel bad about ditching the heels once in a while!

Take Victoria’s lead and put your best foot forward with our fabulous flats.

This week we’ve had some gorgeous nude dresses featured on the front of Fabulous magazine on Sunday in the News of the World.

Those dresses flew off the shelves when the Shameless girls wore them for their photoshoot, but you can get the look with this Lipsy baby doll dress.

Our Environmental Justice Foundation designer tees have been picked up by Look Magazine Online. It’s no surprise that they’re in the spotlight, really – they’re designed by some of the hottest designers around including Luella and Christian Lacroix, they’re just £30 each and £10 from each tee goes towards ending forced child labour in cotton production.

And of course, any heels feature in the press wouldn’t be complete without the cream of the Oli shoe shop! These fierce Steve madden heels were scooped up by Closer:
