BLOGS – Find a handful of blogs that you can relate to. There’s huge choice out there so no excuses for not finding one you like. The Sartorialist gives great visual running commentary of unique looks and styles and something like MademoiselleRobot.com keeps you well ahead of the game.

FREE LOOK BOOKS – Ask your favourite retailers whether you can go on their look book distribution list. These normally come out way before each season so by looking at 3 or 4 you can get a feeling for what’s hitting the high street.

SKY TV – You possibly haven’t thought of this one, but a great resource for keeping ahead of the High Street. There’s some great fashion channels (e.g. fashion TV), so get the kettle on, put your feet up and just drool! Oh, and once you are done check out the new Sky Bingo site if you’re feeling lucky!

FASHION MAGS – I’m not talking about your average Grazia... get to the heart of fashion and treat yourself to a copy of Vogue or Drapers, which is fantastic for forecasting fashion and something all the fashion professionals read.

TREND FORECAST WEBSITES – If you’re really serious about setting trends or staying bang on top of them, then you may want to subscribe to something like TrendStop.com www.trendstop.com.
