Konichiwa bitches! Time to get those silks on and express your flowery side because it’s all about the Asian persuasion.
Bright and vivid colours bless your wardrobe as you drape yourself with beautiful flowers and fine materials.
Whether it’s the flowing textures of the Indian inspired threads or the body-hugging, Chinese and Japanese
influenced dresses, there’s plenty of choice with Asian Influence.

Your New Favourite
Online store
Dispatched Magazine is your guide to the most on trend and pocket
friendly buys on the Internet. From Asos to Zara we scoured the web to find the best buys, we blundered through pages and pages of fashion fixes and we’re proud to introduce you to our new favourite online market place Beworn.
Be Worn is not your average online shop; with a little bit of vintage voodoo they pull their inspiration from past and future trends to produce the most unique clothing on the market today.
INTRODUCING

Its hard to believe the website is the love child of Robyn Lambert from Buckinghamshire who is just 20 years old! Robyn developed the website after spending her teens years struggling to find a look that would work for her.
‘I realised that the best style is your own, no matter what it is. The coolest girl in the room is the one that is confident in what she is wearing, the one whose personality and creativity oozes from their outfit from head to toe.’ Says Robyn.
‘The Best style is your
own...’
Be Worn hosts a collection of eye-catching dresses to get you noticed on a night out and a range of casual wear that will keep you effortlessly on trend this summer/spring.
Its your one stop shop for all this seasons must have looks, a collection of affordable 70’s inspired tie dye tee-shirts are a must have, teamed with a pair of tiny cut of shorts for a casual yet playful day time look.
‘I feel like for most girls in their teens, you often get lost in more than one way. I want Be Worn to be a place where you can interact with other

young girls, but not compare yourself to them, or compare your clothes to theirs. Just soak up the fun and fabulousness of each other!’
‘Rihanna, hands down my ideal woman to dress. She is confident, risky and not afraid of what people think. On the other end of the spectrum it would be Little Mix, for similar reasons but they have a different kind of confidence, they are fun and young and the perfect role models for my customers! I think they would be someone the Be Worn girls could relate to more.’
The main thing that strikes you about the Beworn label is the mix of attitude and style that works to push the current high-street trends with out bank ruptuing its customers.
The perfect balance of value for money and show stopping fashion, Be Worn is the fashion label with a vintage edge and a heart of gold.
So what you waiting for, log on now to www.beworn.com and release your own personal style today.

3 Ways To Wear Your Peplum
At The Office
Who said work had to be plain and
boring? Wow them at the office with a
sense of style. Less is more so keep it simple with a plain
shirt
Day to Day
Team the skirt with a plain vest for a more
casual style. Or even add a touch of colour with a crop top to brighten up
your day
Peplums are here to celebrate femininity accentuating ut-terly womanly shape of an hourglass. Peplums are believed to be flattering to any body type if worn right. Both straight and curvy lines can benefit from wearing peplums by letting them either create the illusion of shape, balance out the proportions, or enhance the curves that are already there.
And it goes with anything!Just one skirt can create multiple outfits for any occasion. whether you dress it up for a night out or go for a more subtle day look, the skirt is the perfect, figure-building must-have of the summer. Experiement with these simple looks...

I love Missguided just because their range is so good. They have so
many different brands to choose from and it’s so easy to send something
back if it doesn’t fit.

Katrina Blundell:
We went to several different towns across England in search of girls wear-ing clothes from any online stores. And what we found was that around a quar-ter of the girls we asked had bought their clothes from an online shop.
It seems online shopping has grown and will soon become just as popular as store bought items.
Out of the 50 girls we asked, Boohoo came out on top as the favourite online store. The most common response was that it usually has everything other expensive online shops have, just for a much better price!
The second most popular was ASOS and then Missguided and after that, the lesser known shops followed, such as: Motel, Glamorous and Very.
The most worn outfits we encountered were either a baggy t-shirt tucked into very short denim shorts or a brightly patterned bandeau, matched with a high-waisted skirt, both long and short.
It seems branded items are also devel-oping into something of extreme im-portance for these girls. Brands such as; Stella McCartney, Viva Vena and Love Moschino, all from ASOS, are be-coming very popular among the street wearers of Britain.
Turning our attention to the feet of Brit-ain we discovered that Vans and All Star shoes were tied to about half of the girls feet and the other half were wearing strappy sandals. Some bead-ed, some with artificial flowers stuck

Motel isn’t really that well known but since I’ve found it I haven’t
shopped anywhere else. Everything is uniquely styled and they have
now started to do brands aswell.

My favourite online shops is Asos. They sell so many different
brands and you can get everything you need
there rather than having to pay separately for post and packaging.

to them but all in different colours to match the huge variety of summer out-fits on the streets.
Most girls we saw were happily wearing sunglasses of all shapes and sizes as the sun had finally showed its face this spring. In fact walking down the street it was hard to spot anyone who wasn’t wearing them, so it’s not only essential that you own a pair, but that you keep up with the four-eyed fashion as each trend seems to attract a different frameof tinted glass.
So welcome the publics choice of fa-vourite online stores and outfits.
19 Kent I do like Asos but
Boohoo where most of my clothes are from. Basically because it’s
quality for money, it has a good range of casual and formal dresses all for a really good price. The dilivery is very relia-
ble and efficiant too.

Summer
Hot new rainbow tie dyes are taking the lead as beach wear is all about the neon colours mixed with the subtley of denim. Even the sunglasses are wacky shapes and colours to catch the attention of anyone passing by. Get ready to expose those toes with dainty little sandals and chunky wedg-es as they take the floor this year. Show off your body whether you’re slim or curvy with a brightly patterned ban-deau or even a bikini top underneath a pair of buttoned up short dungarees. To complete this outfit just add a straw hat and you’ll have mastered a whole new summer/Nevada look.
Dispatched is keeping you cool this summer with flowy dresses and high waisted shorts.
