Style Tips
What a summer it has been so far! Despite the weather we’ve had a wonderful season of celebrations with the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics. The last two weeks have been hugely inspirational, well done to all the incredible athletes and all those involved. We couldn’t help enjoy the array of colours on show through the games; the pink, the orange and the purple of the Olympics were bold and beautiful (naturally we love the purple as it is our very own Colour Me Beautiful brand colour!)
Something exciting has happened at Barbour. Much like Burberry, they have taken a great piece of British heritage wear and given it a modern and stylish update. First of all we say hats off (and jackets on!) to this brand for its longevity.
Fashion is going print mad for spring with designer Mary Katrantzou leading the way with her exotic and elegant designs. If you’ve missed out on her collection in Top Shop (now sold out!), you might want to look at Marni’s more subtle but quirky patterns available in H&M from 8th March.
We all reinvent ourselves in various ways throughout life and a new year inspires us to ‘renew’ ourselves. It might be changing a small part of our weekly routine, getting more exercise, trying something new or giving our home or personal look a bit of an update.
If you want to give her something a bit special this year that is great value and won’t end up never worn or in a corner of the house somewhere, have a look through our Gift Experience range.
Red is most definitely this season’s hottest colour for evening wear, so if you have always wanted a great red dress then make the most of the choice available now.
The roll neck. Just the word conjures up flash backs to the 60’s and 70’s. Some of us will remember James Bond wearing a white roll neck under a dinner jacket! Very Yves St. Laurent. Charlie’s Angels wore them too.
You can’t have missed Mary Portas’ recent comment about our female politicians. Whilst looks and clothes may not be what politicians are all about, it does help to be well-turned-out. Admittedly, it is hard for us all to look the part every day whatever we are doing/working as/aiming for, and even more so for politicians who are ‘performing’ all day.
