We kicked off fashion proceedings yesterday with a look at the trends that will be vying for space in our summer wardrobes. But while you wait for those Lottto numbers to come up (like Marty Whelan's new hair), we promised to bring you the best of the high street offerings.
The first of those fashion figaries to catch my eye were the beautiful, shiny metallics - the magpie in me insisted I do flap flaps around the office, sidling up to colleagues and staring at them with one beady little eye. But I've managed to control my squawking for long enough to bring you some celebrity looks and the best budget-friendly options.

From dresses to jumpers, and from jackets to shoes, metallic mania is taking over.
