Pretty Vintage Lace & Floral Styles As Peacock’s Launch New Pearl Lowe Range

Category : Celebrity, Designer, Summer, Trends, Women

She’s been the vocalist of a band, launched her own brand of home accessories, designed dresses exclusively for Liberty’s, has overcome addiction and written a book about it, is the mother of super model, Daisy Lowe, is working on a book about vintage fashion, has a regular spot on chat show Angela and friends (hang on, pause, for big breath), – and still the beautiful Pearl Lowe still has time to design these fabulous capsule collections for us at Peacocks.

So here it is, for us all to enjoy – it’s pretty, it’s delicate, it’s floaty and vintage (to the point where we almost want to burst into ‘we’ll meet again’) there’s lace, florals, polka dots and bows, there’s rosebuds, tea dresses and a cute little cardi – just add ankle socks and a little pair of pumps then run down to the village hall for a jitterbug!!  As always the lovely people at Peacocks keep the prices so low, you can mix and match from the whole collection. Click the banner to go straight to the range. We’d love to hear your comments.

Great Things to do in April No.1 – Shop for Fabulous Fossil Clothing in the UK

Category : Accessories, Designer, Latest

We all know and love Fossil as an accessories brand, especially for their amazing watches, jewellery and bags.

But until now, if you wanted to get your hands on the clothing range, you had to take yourself off to America. But no more. From tomorrow, April 5th, you can get your hands on Fossil’s vintage inspired, timeless pieces at Fossil.co.uk and from April 15th you can buy from the newly refurbished Covent Garden Store – the only other store to buy in Europe is Stuttgart.

The theme for the spring/summer collections for men and women is vintage safari, a mix of safari, Native American, and exploration influences.The collection is iconic and classic, yet has a modern and uniquely, distinctive feel. The pieces are easy and can be put together to build a look that is effortlessly stylish – capturing that free feeling of long, hot summer days, travel and adventure. Suffice to say, we like it.

We love the crop sleeve Price jacket and april cardigan to slip over bandeau dresses and strappy tops, when the day gets cooler, but the fun of the evening stretches on. We love the fabrics, with their rich mix of dusty desert colours and earthy prints, we love the demins, the check shirts and the graphic print tees. Follow the link to the site to take a look. We’d love to hear your comments, or about the key pieces you’re going to put into your summer wardrobe.

If you’d like to go and take a peek at the new store you can expect a look that is designed to reflect the company’s American heritage. Fossil designers approached the project with an industrial mindset, giving the stores a stylized warehouse feel. Authentic refurbished vintage items, like old ladders, light fixtures, wheeled carts, and benches, will be used to showcase products. Enjoy.

Timepiece Trends Are Classics This Spring/Summer 2010

Category : Accessories, Advertising, Celebrity, Designer, Jewellery, Men, Women

All this talk of Alice in Wonderland has turned our minds to on-trend timepieces. Over the past couple of seasons, statement watches have become as key as any piece of jewellery. Pretty, as well as practical the watch should be shown off, day or night, as the wrist candy of choice.

Trends for timepieces this spring include crisp, clean, white, ceramic – one of the newest and increasingly popular materials in watch design. Ceramic is sought after for it’s strength, lusture and shine. We’ve chosen this gorgeous piece above from Swiss Legend. It would finish off any outfit in this season’s cleanest trends – nudes & neutrals, monochromes and nauticals.

Celebrities like Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Jennifer Aniston, along with many of their fellow style icons, have been photographed wearing classic, Swiss, bracelet watches. Rose gold and silver tones have been popular with classic, circular black, white or highly coloured faces. The spring/summer 10 catwalk show at Hermes confirmed that an over sized man’s watch is the ultimate, understated, cool accessory. Looking just as gorgeous on women as men – on the men the watch says ‘classic sense of style’ on the women, worn large and loose, it looks feminine and sexy. Look out for extra features too, like chronographs and calendars. A classic, swiss designed watch always has that understated elegance no matter what the fashion fads of the time. We’ve selected these stainless steel bracelet watches from Sturhling Original and Swiss Legend – two watch companies with years of traditional Swiss watching making experience combined with a modern, cutting edge style. And the best thing is their prices won’t break the bank.

Our final choice is this large diameter, black watch with rose gold tones and leather strap from Stuhrling original which again is very classic in style, but sure to be on trend, as it reminds us of the US presidential watch.
