Just before Henry Holland launched his collection for Debenhams, a couple of Domestic Sluts were invited to take a peek at a few pieces. To be honest I expected everything to be plaid, denim or adorned with studs - as someone who shies away from trends, this would not have been A Good Thing. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of it was wearable and wouldn't date after one season.We got to choose an outfit to go home with. Gail went for the above Purple Square Spot Dress (£30) and said "I spotted this short but cute number as soon as we walked in. I love the Peter Pan collar and the fit is flattering for busty girls. Apparently it's Henry's take on the classic polka dot - by making them into squares - and it's going to be perfect with my vintage blocky grey heels and opaque tights 'til the weather perks up."
I chose this Black Floral Tea Dress (£30):
I love that the angry florals stop it from looking too twee - all too easy with puffed sleeves and a flouncy skirt. It also looks really good with black opaque tights, so I won't have to wait for sunshine and/or decent weather before wearing it.
This Tan 'Quentin' Satchel (£40) goes with pretty much everything in the range (and my wardrobe):

Even if you're not particularly into Henry Holland you'll find something to like in this range. But I'm sure that fans of House of Holland will love the fact they can get one of his designs from just £4.
That 'polka dot' dress is scrummy. But my heart belongs firmly with the leather satchel. I do have a thing about school satchels.
ReplyDeleteLove the satchel - cute little grab-handle plus cross body practical strap - very nice. Jen x
