To celebrate the launch of the Cannes Film Festival we’re channeling French Riviera chic in cool blues and whites.

Jewellery designer Patricia Nicolás was featured in Spanish Vogue in a classic camel French Connection coat, which she styled for Spring with a pretty floral midi dress, burgundy velvet ankle boots and sixties retro pink sunnies.
Get the look in our All Hours Long Coat, Calypso Flower Flared Dress and Marcus Espadrille Ankle Boots.
We spotted this amazing floral print shirt on our website in the menswear section but what’s to stop you wearing it? Pair with pastel skinny jeans, mink suede brogues and wear open over a slouchy pink tee with the sleeves rolled up for a pretty Spring look.
Find out what blogger Emily Johnston of Fashion Foie Gras has selected as her favourites from our new collection here.

Blend creamy magnolia, soft peach, snow white and antique gold for a classically chic look. A mix of materials create a texture-rich effect perfect for effortless evening style.
Get the Look Acapella Drape Jacket, Vaity Lace Tee, Shelby Midi Skirt and Jasper Wedge Sandal.
Don’t want to fade into the crowd? Opt for seductive sparkle this season in a grey sequinned mini skirt. Dress it down with a chic silk tee and keep accessories to a minimum – we adore this slouchy metallic clutch for louche luxe.
The lovely Paloma Faith went on a shopping spree to French Connection Oxford Street recently - we couldn’t wait to find out what the songstress walked away with.
1. Our All Hours Long Coat is already a hit with Jameela Jamil and we think Paloma’s scarlet hair will look stunning against minimalist camel.
2. These Famous Cotton Slim Trousers are the perfect partner to Paloma’s bright and colourful wardrobe.
3. A classic basic like our Maria Merino Cardigan will keep this pint-sized popstrel chic and cosy this winter.
4. We think these Little Shilling Jacquard Trousers are the perfect match for Ms. Faith, don’t you agree?
5. This sweet Vintage Felicity Fairisle Tank is the perfect knit for Christmas.
Pop idol Mollie King from The Saturdays recently indulged in a spot of retail therapy at French Connection and plumped for these must-have items for AW10.
Winter Wings Sweatshirt - follow the pop star’s lead and pair this sequinned sweater with micro shorts and shearling-trim booties.
Boucle D’Oreille Dress - we love the fun print and flattering fit of this pretty flirty frock - ideal under a loose chunky knit.
Violet Thunder Top - the ultimate performance piece, this sparkly top will be perfect with jeans for Mollie on stage.
Penny’s Party Dress - dress this bestseller down with ankle boots and a studded belt for a rock chick look.
French Connection hosted an exclusive blogging event in New York last week.
Our flagship SoHo store threw a ‘BLOGtails’ party – a contest that called on bloggers to create the ultimate holiday look inspired by cupcakes made especially for the evening. The bloggers then posed for the camera in a fun photo shoot that was uploaded to our facebook page where fans voted on their favourite outfit.
Congrats to Donna Kim from Racked whose yummy red velvet-inspired look was the winning entry! Watch this space for an interview with the lucky lady very soon.
