Seems like it’s Mr Price Monday on my blog, right? Can I help it that my fave fast fashion store is pulling out all the stops to impress?

Amber Jones is set to release another range into Mr Price stores this November. Here are some of her pretty amazing things as seen on the runway:

Cleo Droomer, 2010’s Elle New Talent winner, is finally getting his stuff into Mr Price stores today.

I cannot deal with how cute this collection is. I have my eye on that maxi/ grey top combo.

It’s no secret that I adore Amber Jones. She’s all kinds of awesome. So I’m really excited to announce that her range with Mr Price - called The Best is Yet to Come - hits stores on 25th JULY! Yes, on Monday! Pay day! Holla!

Amber sat down with ELLE South Africa’s Jenna McArthur to chat about the range and here’s some of what she had to say:

We love the range, how would you describe it?

Wow. Hard one. A rather-odd-in-a-good-way schoolgirl who often wears her dad’s clothes from the seventies…

Tell us about the colours and fabrics used?

I was having a love affair with texture when I designed it so I chose chunky knits, linen suitings, printed woven viscose and faux fur for warmth and added denim and cotton twills for contrast. The colour palette is very earthy, with splashes of navy and warm burnt oranges.

What sets this range apart from others?

Little details like elbow patches, paper-bag waist detail, statement buttons and raw reversed hems. I really wanted the girl who wears these clothes to feel we cared about how she felt in them.

Everything in this range is completely wantable and the price point makes it imminently gettable. Look how cute: 

On my shopping list:

• Printed harem pants - R139.99
• Boyfriend blazer - R199.99
• Cardi - R129.99
• Denim bustier - R79.99
• Printed shirt - R119.99

Actually, who am I kidding? Something tells me I’m going to buy more than that :) Congratulations, Amber!

Regardless of how you feel about Beyonce’s first single off 4, Who Run the World (Girls) [To be honest, it took an entire month to grow on me!], the video is all kinds of awesome.

Fashion Bomb Daily broke down all the designer looks from the video. Just goes to show how much work was put into the vid.

So many people wore spangly sparkly gold numbers. It’s officially a thing. Again.

To quote ELLE Fashion Editor Kirsty: sen-sa-tional! And I swear I didn’t just pick this because the Gala honoured McQueen… This look honestly made my heart skip a beat.
