Win your summer read with your summer wardrobe!

By Gemma Conley-Smith in Competitions, Get the look on Tuesday 7th May, 2013

It’s no secret here at F&F HQ that I am an incurable bookworm. That’s why I am supremely excited about our current online promotion.  You see, the one thing I look forward to most in the summer, once I’ve got my warm weather wardrobe sorted, is relaxing with a cracking holiday read.

In order to help you get your summer wardrobe AND your summer reading sorted in one easy step, we’ve teamed up with the lovely people at Headline publishing, and we’ll be giving away copies of Private Lives by Sunday Times bestselling author Tasmina Perry as a gift when you buy an item from our list of top holiday picks.

The novel centres around a young lawyer called Anna Kennedy who is drawn into an ‘intoxicating world where games are played to mask the truth, where there is no one you can trust, and where being too good at your job can put your life in danger.’

To tie in with the glam vibe of a Tasmina Perry novel, my two top picks are below, but be sure to hop over to our website to see the full holiday collection: from a list including sunglasses, summer dresses, sandals, swimsuits, shorts, kaftans and bags, you’re bound to find something you love.

The gold accents on these gladiator sandals and cutout swimsuit are perfect for a ‘blockbuster luxe’ look…

 

So what are you waiting for? With a curated list of perfect holiday pieces AND a fantastic new Tasmina Perry novel for free – we’ve done all the holiday hard work for you! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to read Private Lives on my lunchbreak.
Love,

Wednesday Want…

By laurahenshaw in Get the look, Top Picks, Womenswear on Wednesday 17th April, 2013

This chiffon F&F Polka Dot Blouse ticks off the summer monochrome trend with its white polka dot print and black background. The sheer blouse is a great transitional piece for ‘in between season’ style; we’d tuck it into a leather skater skirt and wedge shoe boots for work or wear open over a cami with denim shorts and Western ankle boots for an off-duty summer look.

How would you wear our F&F Polka Dot Print Blouse? Leave a comment below or tweet us with #WednesdayWant to tell us your style suggestions.

Wednesday Wants…

By Gemma Conley-Smith in Get the look, Plus Size, Top Picks, Trends on Wednesday 13th March, 2013

Happy Wednesday readers! After the snow which came out of nowhere early this week, here at F&F HQ we’re trying to distract ourselves with thoughts of what we will wear once the summer sun rolls round… And saying hello to this Tribal Print Maxi Dress (£20) from our True collection, which comes in sizes 16 through 28.  With a clean, streamlined design which is perfectly in-line with the current catwalk minimalist trends, this pull-on jersey dress has a monochrome tribal print which will go with pretty much everything.
I’m seeing this dress with a cardi or jacket and heeled sandals for summer in the city, or with flipflops and bold beads on the beach.
What are you dreaming of this Wednesday?
Love,
Gemma

Wednesday Wants…

By Gemma Conley-Smith in Get the look, Top Picks, Trends, Womenswear on Wednesday 20th February, 2013

Wednesday wants - covetable items from F&F
Today’s Wednesday Want is an easy to wear shift dress which is your shortcut to working the monochrome trend.  Black and white stripes were seen everywhere during London Fashion Week, from the catwalks to the front row to street style. And ladies, believe me, black and white stripes are the answer to pretty much every ‘what to wear?’ dilemma.  This nautical dress has just enough sailor styling to have you looking polished rather than Popeye, and in a flattering A-line shift shape, you can wear it with tights and a blazer now and with bare legs and heeled sandals in summer.  Great for workwear and dressy looks, you could style it down a la Kate Moss with gladiator sandals and a grunge-y denim or leather jacket.F&F Limited Edition Stripe Shift dress £25F&F Limited Edition Striped Shift Dress: £25
From our Limited Edition collection, you’ll wear this dress over and over, and get a compliment every time you do.

Have you got a Wednesday Want this week? How would you style this monochrome nautical number? Let us know in the comments!

Wednesday Wants…

By laurahenshaw in Get the look, Top Picks, Trend on Wednesday 6th February, 2013

We’re loving the Oriental influence in this week’s Wednesday Want, the F&F Floral Hem Tunic, £16. From office to bar, day to night, casual to dressed-up, this versatile tunic is a wardrobe staple that you can accessorise easily.

The detailed floral print is bang on-trend with subtle Far Eastern impact and the tunic length is great for wearing with leggings, tights and tailored Capri trousers.

I’d wear it with a bright blazer, sheer tights and wedged shoe boots for work, metallic gladiator sandals in the summer and a statement necklace in the evening.

How would you wear this sophisticated tunic? Leave a comment below or send us a tweet, we’d love to hear your accessorising tips!
