Great thank you, this is just what I was looking for, going to stop by next week when the children are back to school :) thanks

Hey Claire Justine,
You should have a look at it and see what you think yourself - would love to know your impression of it. I saw a lovely light denim shirt in Marks & Spencer actually! They had a linen mix one and a more denim style one. I think this link is to the denim version - always hard to work out if the one online is the same one you see in-store! Avril x

I've not been and checked this seasons out yet. I loved lots in last season, not liking the top pictures styles though might not bother going out my way now :)I love the denim shirt, wasn't a fan of denim shirts until I went on a photo shoot a few weeks ago now I want a nice light denim one, ant ideas where I could get one? not seen one yet...

I'm a huge Gok fan so this is really disappointing and I'm ashamed to admit that I hardly look at the TU range. Loving those scarves and bags so will be making a beeline for them when im in this week. Thanks Avril!

I've never ever checked out Gok range before. In fact, if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have known he collaborated with Sainsbury's. I thought he was a TV host who'd released a cookbook.

Such a shame about the Gok range, sounds really dullard! I love the denim shirt though and am in need of a dark one, sadly don't have a Sainsbo's nearby wonder if they sell online, will have to look when I do the food shop x

I concur. Don't you just love that phrase? Well I do. Haha.

I have to say the latest collection from Gok gets the thumbs down for me. I went to Sainsburys on Tuesday and tried the best of a bad bunch on. Needless to say I didn't purchase anything as none of the collection suits my body shape as I have a waist.

If you like your clothes baggy, have a tum or are waistless you may be in luck!

2013-02-14T09:41:33.179+00:00

I used to be a Buyer for the Tu collection as Sainsbury's and the work and effort put into each and every design is incredible, I have learnt such a lot from my "sainsbury's" days - mostly that anything is possible. So much work goes into the attention to detail, fabric and fit and it obviously pays off as you have experienced x

2013-02-13T18:21:15.329+00:00

Hi. Nooooo! I'm heading to England tomorrow (from co Donegal) and had told my friend we HAD to go Sainsburys to look at the Gok collection as I love your skinny jeans. She popped in last wk to have a look and emailed me straight away to say she couldn't for one minute work out why I'd want to have a look as stuff so disappointing and now you've just confirmed it for me. Oh well I'll just have to visit all the other yummy shops.

2013-02-13T17:51:04.260+00:00

I was in Sainsburys last week on my trip to the UK and I was very impressed. I actually bought the bretton top in black and white you pointed out and a couple of other lovely tops. They have all washed great too:) My fav purchase was a pair of leather black ballet pumps (25 GBP), with a cluster of small flowers on the front. They are soooo comfy and will be great when spring and summer arrives - you shoyld check them out:)

2013-02-13T17:25:00.857+00:00

Sadly there is no Sainsburys yet where I live that stocks a good selection of clothing as it does look good this season. I am doing some clothes shopping at Asda which has just opened in my town and found a couple of great items, the latest a beautiful bright orange skater dress which fits and looks very flattering, can't wait for the summer for that one teamed with a little black cardy. You have a good eye for pulling clothes out and bringing them to life, well done Avril, keep it up. Nikki x

I LOVE the pink tote! I can't wait to get in there now when I stock up on Penguin biscuits for the kids!

Gok never really did it for me.........however I agree that the scarves are lovely and well priced, I bought the top left floral one for Â£8 and have worn it a lot already. Looks fab with denim. Maybe they need you Avril!!!!

2013-02-13T13:01:39.188+00:00

This is actually the first collection he's done where I have actually wanted to buy something - I really like the tweedy bomber! Agree sainsburys is doing v well at the mo, the kids clothes in particular are excellent, great quality and lovely designs, up there with Boden IMO!

couldn't agree more - you are totally spot on....

2013-02-13T11:06:50.467+00:00

couldn't agree more - you are totally spot on. I feel a bit sad that the range was really boring, really expensive and TERRIBLY sized. I tried on quite a bit and 90% of the items I would have to upsize - how depressing is that? I know dress size is just a number but it's a horrible feeling, as a woman, to go up to the next size.

The main TU range is fab this season - I could have bought an awful lot of stuff - blazers, tops, tunics, t shirts and don't even get me started on the scarves - WOW, amazing.

I'm actually going to Sainsbury's shortly to return ALL of the Gok stuff I bought and blogged about last week - and I shall be picking up some more TU stuff to replace it!!

2013-02-13T09:46:53.111+00:00

Totally agree Avril. I had a look online as I need some workwear - I was so uninspired. His range seemed frumpy and old fashioned. The only thing I remotely liked was the grey/black casual jacket. However, I think the TU collections have been improving in leaps and bounds over the last few years. Some fabulous pieces and the fabrics have improved too - there are some great men's bretons T's too - in a small they are perfect for my boys!!

2013-02-13T08:37:46.494+00:00

Hi Avril! have to agree, whenever I shop in Sainsburys I always make a beeline for the TU range and look at Goks last as it's just not inspiring me. I love the general feel of what TU feature, I also picked up a pair of half price denim jeans in a khaki leopard print and of course last month I got my cobalt blue clutch bag. I have my eye on some other pieces too-their buying team have produced some really great lines these past and present seasons and unfortunately Gok is not on my style radar when I'm in store xx
