Wallis is excited to announce the new collection of denim which has just arrived in stores across the UK. The new range offers some great shapes to choose from, fantastic washes and totally trendy key details such as zips, studs and stirrups.

Wallis details six favourite styles which are set to be key wardrobe essentials for women’s fashion this season:

Jegging
The new ‘it’ trousers that have dominated the catwalks and are sweeping through the celebrity world right now are ‘jeggings’. They have the comfort of leggings with all the style credentials of skinny jeans. Follow Beyoncé and get crazy in love with them too!

Boot cut
Boot cut jeans are brilliant at balancing out proportions if you have wonderful but wider hips, or a curvaceous derriere. The versatile shape is beautifully cut and can be worn from day to evening.

Wide Leg
A great style to flatter all figures. You can team wide leg jeans with flats for an effortless day time look, but these jeans are so versatile, they suit absolutely any type of top or footwear you desire.

Zip Detail
Zips are a key trend this season and these gorgeous jeans will update your wardrobe in an instant. Best worn with summer printed tops or fitted vests and ballet pumps.

Stirrup Leg
Look great teamed with a voluminous knit and a pair of ankle boots, it’s a perfect casual choice for looking chic.

Slim Leg
Slim leg jeans are no longer just for the tall and thin – this style suits everyone this season. Straight and slim leg styles elongate your overall silhouette.  Teamed with comfy flats and loose, layered tops and open jackets, you’re bound to make a statement in these jeans.

The best thing about all these styles of jeans is that they can be teamed up with stylish coats in winter, light bright tops for summer or sexy heels for going out. They are great for making the transition from day to night, and they can even be worn with a smart jacket for work. The possibilities are endless!  

Wallis can be relied on to supply details of all the latest key wardrobe essentials for women’s fashion for each and every season. From jeans to tops to footwear, Wallis has it all. 

House prices have fallen in the months since the announcement of the recession, and many home owners are now unable to sell their homes for what they bought them for, which means an upgrade to a bigger house or a new suburb may not be on cards for them, at least not for another year or two until house prices go up again or settle down.

So what to do in the meantime? A growing family, a need for improvement or the urge for change can still be handled by improving the home currently lived in.

There are many additions and changes which can be made to the home. Sometimes all it takes is a lick of paint, a new couch or the careful rearrangement of the home. More drastic changes can be made, such as replacing the kitchen, pulling out the bathroom, knocking down a kitchen wall to make the living room larger...the possibilities are endless.

Upgrades and renovations surely add value to your property, although it is doubtful that you will see speedy returns on this investment in the form of a higher price if you sell your house this year or next.

Because home improvements will not really add any actual financial value to the home at present, it's important that home owners who plan to renovate or refurbish their homes are making these improvements because they want to live in their houses for some years to come, and aren't doing them in the hope of getting a higher price from an upcoming house sale.

Bear in mind that all renovations, even minor ones, should be reported to your home insurance provider, or you may find that your new kitchen, or carpets or furniture is not covered in the event of a claim.

Some UK home insurance providers may want to increase your premiums after a remodel, but after a quick search for online home insurance you will discover that house insurance doesn’t have to be expensive.

More and more UK consumers are turning to the internet to find home insurance, and the majority of consumers surveyed by UK Insurance Aggregators, have recently stated that they had visited a price comparison site at the time of their house insurance renewal.

This is also evidence of the growing number of adults in the UK now have internet access – according to the Office of National Statistics, 16 million households in Great Britain had internet access in 2008.

Obtaining quotations online has become the most convenient way for consumers to compare home insurance prices, evaluate different home insurance policies and save money.

UK home insurance providers offer extensive online home insurance policy information, allowing UK consumers to make educated choices when it comes to choosing between house insurance coverage options. Easy access to the internet within the UK ensures that online home insurance information is readily available to most UK home insurance consumers.

By comparing the costs of various home insurance offerings consumers can easily gauge the best policy for their needs, and it certainly helps that the UK house insurance market is a highly developed and highly regulated industry, authorised and regulated by the FSA.

In addition to this widely known fact, the internet is becoming a part of the daily life of many property buyers and home owners, as well as students. This group represents an increasing market of young people who are buying home insurance for the first time, and means that home insurance providers really can’t afford to not be online.

Further increases in online home insurance purchases are likely as internet literacy is now being taught in UK schools from the primary school level. This provides the next generation of home buyers with more knowledge of the internet and, as these young consumers enter the market, their numbers will increase the overall percentage of home owners who are able to use the internet to purchase their home insurance.
