IF THE credit crunch is making you miserable and your wardrobe is looking weary, I have two words to say to you Sample Sale.
Yes just when we were beginnning to think sample sales were an urban myth we have received word of a genuine one.

LIVERPOOL'S very own Abigail Clancy - or "Scouse icon" as ITV has described her in its press release - will be presenting a fashion TV show this autumn.

Along with George Lamb (Big Brother's Little Brother) and model Michelle de Swarte, she will be interviewing celebrities about their style secrets and giving advice on how to achieve the latest designer look at high street prices, assuming she can recall life before wagdom.

WENT TO Metquarter's media preview this week to check out what they've got in store for autumn/winter.

They hold one of these events every season so we can pick up lookbooks and get ideas for fashion shoots.

THE make-up artist on the shoot we featured in this week's Style City has offered to share her secrets.

For this wonderfully intense look, Lottie Davies from MAC, used these products...

SURE, we're all frantically putting our empty wine bottles in a separate bin to our well-read copies of Vogue and carrying Cath Kidston bags-for-life to the supermarket, but what about our clothes?
A fashion show at Metquarter tonight looks at creative ways to reuse the items discarded at the back of our wardrobes.

I WAS in Cricket the other day, borrowing clothes for a fashion shoot, when I spotted just how many self-branded items they now have on sale.

As well the tote bags that came out at the beginning of the year, you can now buy compacts, keyrings and mobile phone charms in the recognisable pink and zebra print.

HAD a great time judging the furniture category at the Design Show Liverpool awards last night.

After a tour of the stands, I and my fellow judge Dick Maudsley from Utility, on Bold Street, unanimously settled on Lazerian.

PHONE call from a friend who still finds it hard to believe I style fashion shoots (the Deirdre Barlow specs at school will never be laid to rest): "Matt thinks he looks dapper. What's the verdict?"

He thinks, in his black suit, white shirt and new Calvin Klein tie, that he is the best dressed bloke in the bar. She is not so sure.

WE'RE finishing off our coverage of Graduate Fashion Week with some good news.

Domingo Rodriguez, one of the students at John Moores University, has won the Menswear Award.

Day four at Graduate Fashion Week and JMU student Genette Williams has been having a hectic day:

WE OPENED up yesterday with a crowd of our family members supporting those designers selected to show their collections on the catwalk. We sold out of tickets, and it was heaving!

Day two at Graduate Fashion Week and JMU student Genette Williams shares her experiences:

TODAY was the start of the official nomination award nominees judging works which created a stir. Scouts and directors were hunting out the graduates with the coolest work and the Prime Minister's wife also arrived today.

Students from John Moores University will be joining the Girls Behaving Stylishly blog for a week to share their experiences of Graduate Fashion Week in London.
To start us off, Daniel Dutton and Alexandra Parry share their hopes for the week ahead:

IT'S a rare occasion at Style City when we get to indulge our eyeballs with a male model but that's what's happening this week when we shoot Westwood SS08 at Room restaurant on Castle Street.
