The Sugahfix gals are having a ball hunting for the hottest trends at Rushmere Shopping Centre for the Most Wanted section of the Craigavon shopping centre's newly revamped website.

We were given three challenges this month – to get three Rushmere staff members loving the big trend for summer brights.

We took the style challenge to new heights! With pretty petite Ellen (pictured left), who works in New Look, we were challenged to find a stylish Easter look that added a boost to her confident as well as inches to her height.

For super-tall Maggie – store manager of The Jean Scene we showed her how to break out of her usual colour palette of soft neutrals and naturals tones of greens and browns.

Finally we were challenged to find a whole outfit for under £100 for Estee Lauder gal Sinead. How do you think we did?

The trend for vibrant colours is huge for SS11 but it can be a little daunting after a year of soft neutrals.

A flash of bold colour in a wide stripe is great way to dip into the colour-blocking trend. The punchy yellow stripe in this super-flattering skirt from Mango adds just enough of a citrus burst of colour. Worn with a rust-toned vest under the fabulously cut blazer with cinched-in waist is a really sophisticated and stylish silhouette – perfect for Easter!

Ellen's look: High-waisted gathered skirt with pockets £44.90, Slim fit cropped blazer £69.90, Heels £59.90 all from Mango at Tempest, Rust vest top £6.99 from New Look all at Rushmere.

Styling tip! Petite ladies should always define their waist and wearing a nude-toned heeled shoe will elongate your legs.

We fell in love with these stunning neutral platform heels from Mango. They are high but the shape and style of the shoe make them a surprisingly comfy wear. You'll get lots of wear out of these, as they'll go with everything! £59.90 by Mango at Tempest.

TALL IN TURQUOISE

A great way to ease yourself into the summer brights look is by pairing fresh turquoise and citrus tones with distressed denim for a laid-back vibe. This turquoise and yellow print shift dress by River Island might not look it on the hanger but it's a really flattering shape. Maggie wasn't sure about it when we first handed it into the changing rooms but as soon as she zipped it up – she was sold! It's a great summer club look worn with glam heels and a clutch to show off those pins but wear it now with jeans and gladiator flats.

Turquoise print shift dress £29.99, Skinny jeans £44.99, Gladiator flats £29.99, Plaited seed bead cuff £12.99, Tan leather cross the body bag £44.99, All from River Island at Rushmere Shopping Centre.

Across the body bags are the essential arm candy this season – and tan leather is a classic! Tan cross the body bag £24.99 at River Island.

Styling tip! Pick out the metallic detail on your shoes and bag and co-ordinate with a gold-toned cuff – it brings the whole look together.

 

OUTFIT FOR UNDER £100 CHALLENGE!

A cream belted mac is a springtime essential - perfect to wear when you are out shopping. This mac from Dunnes has some really cute detailing on the shoulders and is strikingly similar to Kate Middleton's expensive designer trench, which she wore while visiting the province recently.

We picked up the taupe tone of the woven belt of the dress in the shoes, and twisted detail subtly matches that rushing detail on the shoulders of the mac. Indigo and cream is a classic combination so add a colour pop with this paisley print bag and a scarlet red lip.

Denim dress £13, Cream belted mac £21, Taupe heels £14, Print bag £8.50 Total: £56.50!! All from Dunnes Stores at Rushmere Shopping Centre.

All the girls had their hair styled at Trade Secrets. Ellen and Maggie's make-up was by No.7 at Boots and Sinead's make-up was by Estee Lauder at Debenhams. All at Rushmere Shopping Centre.
