My top 3 Sale pieces…

June 22nd, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

With all the beautiful pieces in our biggest ever Stripes sale I’m finding it tough to pick my top 3! But, after long and hard deliberations here’s whats made my final cut and are coming home with me!

I’ve had my eye on this striking blazer since it first came in and I just can’t resist it any longer. I’m going to be letting the colour and tailoring of this piece do all the talking by simply wearing it with skinnies and a white tee….

By Malene Birger produced this great dress last season and it was an instant hit – lucky for me By Malene Birger has done it again for this season. I can’t wait to wear it on holiday with gladiators and lots bangles!

I must be having a navy moment, as I’m finding it hard to resist anything in this chic colour! This super flattering Vivienne Westwood Beatnik top is just what I’ve been after to wear when that elusive “smart-casual” dress code is called for! With Vivenne Westood’s signature design and tailoring this top makes me feel a million dollars (but for a fraction of the cost!).

Oh Stripes Sale, I do love you….but my purse won’t forgive you!xxx

Summer Cover Ups…

June 10th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

Despite our hankerings for a tropical summer, we have to admit it is still rather on the chilly side this month – especially of an evening. However, we have come up with a solution that will still allow us to wear our pretty summer dresses without the risk of goosebumps – a summer cover up…

For all you festival goers out there, this is the perfect parker to keep you dry if the heavens decide to open. With cool drawstring detail at the waist and hem, this is one of the most sylish parkers out there!

This simple striped linen scarf from By Malene Birger has been a best seller in store and is large enough to wear as a wrap as well as a scarf.

This chunky Keima knit from By Malene Birger is in a great neutral cream colour and will keep any breeze at bay.xx

Blazing a Trail! This season’s key trend – the blazer

May 15th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

With one of our favourite pieces, the By Malene Birger Vedette blazer, having now sold out we thought we should show you some of the other amazing blazers and jackets we’ve got in store this season, as it seems all our desginers have wanted to get in on the Blazer action!  Our new danish designer Karen by Simonsen has two great blazers to choose from – a military inspired navy blue version which looks looks great with jeans and a simple cami.  Or, for those of you wanting to make more of a statement, this peach blazer with black lapels and razor sharp tailoring will be sure to make an impact!  We’ve simply teamed it with a pair of Nell by SJ silk trousers and a Turnover basic white T to ensure all focus is on this fab jacket.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label have produced this fabulous stretch-tweed blazer after it sold out from their Gold Label collection.  It is a stunning piece of tailoring and will be a wardrobe favourite year after year.

Invest in a leather jacket

May 13th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

Leather bombers are the perfect transitional outerwear and we’ve got three great leathers in store this season.  A butter soft black version from BZR is perfect over one of our feminine Custommade blouses to toughen up your look in the daytime.  Meanwhile Karen by Simonsen’s cropped gold bomber works really well over many of our dresses, adding a bit of rock ‘n’ roll vavavoom.  My personal favourite however, has got to be the Vivienne Westwood leather jacket.  With its cool zip detailing and funky red striped lining this is a true investment piece and impossible not to want to wear it with everything this season, next season, and even the season after that…..!  Husband, are you listening?
