00:00Welcome to Hello's High Street Hits. I'm Andrea McLean.
00:03And I'm Nick Eade. And here's what we've got on for this week's show.
00:06As we finally take one step closer to normality and the easing of lockdown restrictions,
00:12I'll be sharing my favourite casual chic looks for beer gardens and beyond.
00:17And I'll be helping you to get savvy with your savings with my top five high street deals of the
00:22week.
00:24In this week's episode of My Style Secrets, I'll be talking through how to nail a casual chic style
00:31for our first outing after lockdown because, let's face it, we have all been living in loungewear.
00:37Am I right? There's still a little bit of a chill in the air. So this is where cardigans come
00:40in.
00:41One of the reasons I wanted to show you this cardigan here from Reese, I think it makes that
00:45transition from, yes, you're comfortable being at home. But if you want to head out feeling
00:50that little level up of smart, this does the job perfectly. Wear it with a pair of capri pants,
00:56stick with the trainers. Who's going to be moving out of trainers? Not me for some time.
01:00The sleeveless jumper is the perfect addition. Just take your normal shirt. It can be something
01:05pretty staple. I think most of us have a blue or a white shirt in our wardrobe, even over your
01:11leggings, if you're not quite there yet with your trousers, and this will do the job perfectly.
01:15That's knitwear.
01:17These are a little fashion secret that I've just discovered. They're called balloon jeans.
01:22Now you can see by the shape of them, they're beautifully tapered in at the waist. They're
01:26slightly higher waisted as well. So the whole shape in itself is beautifully, beautifully suited
01:33to your curves. The weather is just about good enough to start thinking about putting on our spring
01:38forward slash summer dresses, but it's not quite warm enough. So this is what I like to do.
01:43This is a beautiful outfit from All Saints, which actually I like to pair together. It's a simple
01:49jumper over the top of a silk dress and with a pair of beautifully comfortable trainers. Literally
01:55layering over beautiful, simple dresses is a great way to make that transition in terms of season,
02:01in terms of warmth, and just in terms of getting out the door.
02:03Every year, there is a dress that becomes the it dress. And this is what I think is going to
02:10become
02:10the spring slash summer dress. It's from Peruna by Marks & Spencers. It comes from a size 6 all the
02:17way to a size 22. I think it's flattering to every single shape. What you can see here is it
02:21obviously
02:22comes with its own little tie belt, but you can whip that off and add a nice broad belt
02:26to it. Funk it up a little bit. This is a beautiful step up from Loungewear. It's still comfortable,
02:31it's still flattering. It's a brilliant color. It's absolutely neutral. So you can wear any camisole
02:37top that you like underneath and maybe accessorize it with some funky jewelry that you've already
02:41got. Can you see how that flows? It's not going to be tight around your stomach, tight around
02:47your thighs. It's actually going to feel just as comfortable as the kind of thing that you've
02:51been wearing at home. If you want to wear a dress, how about this? Again, it's like loungewear
02:58with the volume turned up because it's got this really flattering gathered in waist. You've still
03:04got that soft textured feel, so you're not back into restrictive fabrics, which can make you feel
03:09so uncomfortable, especially, like I say, if you are heading out for the first time. Pockets,
03:14thank goodness for pockets. A great transitional piece. May I introduce you to the Shacket? It's
03:22a shirt style jacket and it is a genius idea. This is from Reece and it comes in, again, this
03:30beautiful soft fabric that we've all become so accustomed to over the past 12 months or so.
03:35So you can slip this on over anything, whether it's over a t-shirt, a pair of jeans, or whether
03:41it's a slip dress. This will give you that added layer of comfort in terms of if the weather isn't
03:45quite warm enough when you head out the door, but it's not as restrictive as a jacket. So yeah,
03:51a Shacket, that's what we're all going to be wearing and you heard it here first.
03:54You want to wear a jacket, but you want to start feeling a little bit, I don't know,
03:58like you've made an effort. This is the jacket that you are looking for. Again, this is by Reece.
04:04It's got a beautiful toggle here so you can actually cinch in the waist and feel that you're
04:09looking nice while still being warm from the wind and the rain. It's padded, so I actually stick my
04:16arm up the sleeves because so many jackets look lovely and warm and they never pad the sleeves.
04:22This one has. It still looks lovely and streamlined, but it will keep you warm. So this is a huge
04:28recommendation. Okay, so I finally got you out your dressing gown and I'm putting you straight into
04:33another one. This is a robe coat, which let's face it, every season you cannot go wrong with a camel
04:41colored coat. It's soft, it's fluid, it drapes really beautifully. It's one of these coats actually
04:47that you could wear just as nicely open over a pair of jeans and a shirt and a nice pair
04:52of ankle boots
04:53or if it's still got that chill in the air, you can wrap yourself up nice and warm. So like
04:57I say,
04:58taking you from your inside dressing gown to your outside one, only this time with a little bit of
05:02flow. It's so nice to see nice clothes again. I literally haven't done any fashion stuff since
05:08leaving Loose Women. But I actually went in with a suitcase on my last day and pretty much just
05:15cleared the place. So actually they're gonna have to pin all this down. I'm here to share my top five
05:22high street steals of the week. Let's go. Now we are finally allowed to have picnics outside and meet our
05:28friends safely. Why not indulge like I would by doing it in style. John Lewis has a delicious pink
05:34Tattinger rose champagne and two glasses for £55. It's smooth, elegant and fruity and perfect for
05:41someone who loves a little bit of glamour just like me. I don't know about you but I don't think
05:46I've worn fragrance since 2019 and there are so many new ones out there and it's time to put some
05:52spring in
05:52your step and smell sensational. Marks and Spencers have just the scent and it's only £12.50. The scent
05:59balances notes of fruity floral woods, beautiful jasmine petals and juicy nectar for a light and
06:04feminine scent that stays put for hours and is one of their best sellers. So get in there now. One
06:10of my
06:10favourite products of the moment is so cool and I'm loving it. This regrow kit allows you to regrow
06:16vegetables from their off-cuttings. It's super stylish and costs £23 and is a very unusual gift.
06:23Who doesn't want to radiate love? This light bulb from Iconic Lights is just that, iconic. It costs £15
06:29and really does add style to your space fabulously with this LED love bulb. It's amber glass, chic and
06:36is wonderful addition to a table or a floor lamp. I don't know if you're like me but I really
06:41feel like
06:41I've been staring at my bed for days on end and now spring is in the air, it's time to
06:46give your
06:46bedroom a master makeover. QVC have joined forces with the brilliant Tabitha Webb who has designed
