Tribal Prints

By Zarah Harrison in Get the look, Trends on Thursday 22nd March, 2012

There’s a world party going on this season and you’re invited. Tribal patterns and earthy colours are inspired by African plains and safari sunsets. Wear animal and Aztec prints with bright tops and ethnic–inspired accessories for a hot, hot summer look.

We love a maxi dress in the office; they’re comfortable, flattering and an outfit in one. What’s not to love? And we especially love the tribal maxi dresses that have come in. I’ve picked out two of my favourites below but I think I’ll have a fight on my hands for the leopard print one. This has proved very popular among the girls in the office and we have a rule that only one of us can own an item, otherwise we might have a ‘oh my god, we’re both wearing the same dress’ disaster.

 

 

The tribal print trend works really well with beach wear too, I’ve picked out a few bikinis and one of our absolutely gorgeous katfkans. These are so handy when you are away, if you want to step off the beach for a spot of lunch or to grab a cold drink, you can just slip this over the top. Plus it’s not just for the beach either; you can wear this for days in the park with a little slip underneath and a chunky belt and lots of beaded necklaces for a real bohemian seventies look.

 

Finally, I wanted to give a sneak peak of some of the garments that are due in over the coming weeks. These shots were taken our recent photoshoot in Miami, sadly I didn’ t get to go, so I’ll have to contend with just buying a few of these to make up for it. In the office, we are all chomping at the bit, there are some seriously gorgeous clothes about to come through our doors and well, it would be selfish to keep them to myself, so see below. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for these as I can guarantee, these will go very fast…….

 

 

 

Clothing at Tesco loves…SBV

SBV

The sun is out and it’s put us all in a great mood, so it’s time to spread some love out to the blogosphere once again! This week, we’ve been pondering the wonderful Sbv, written by Sarah, whose fabulous blog proves that high street can be just as stylish as designer.

Sarah pulls together great looks using really wearable items, like this cute checked dress and this gorgeous polka dot number, making the most of the bargains to be found on the Great British high street. We also have to say, we’re very jealous of her extensive make-up box – all those eyeliners!

But this multi-talented lady doesn’t only know fashion, she also knows a thing or two about cooking – check out this collection of recipes for mouthwatering sweet treats which we can’t wait to try out. And as if that wasn’t enough, she makes her own jewellery, which can be found here on Etsy – gorgeous!

Be sure to have a browse through her posts, and make sure you follow her on Twitter too!

Happy Friday!

Beachwear

By Rochelle Symons in Childrenswear, Menswear, Top Picks, Womenswear on Wednesday 23rd June, 2010

With so much sunshine today, we really got into a ‘beachy’ mood, hoping and dreaming that our summer holidays come soon! Long days on the sand reading a book while watching the kids build a sandcastle.

So here are some of our ideas for those beach essentials you just have to have if you are planning a beach holiday this year:

Sundress, F&F chain swimsuit, F&F rivet sandals, F&F distressed denim shorts

For the ladies, a one piece is not only seriously on trend, but it hides a multitude of sins. Paired with some shorts, it can also move from beach front to beach bar with little effort. Flip flops and a versatile sundress are also two key pieces every lady should have on hand.

F&F straw trilby, Storm rimless sports wrap sunglasses, F&F leather toe post sandals, F&F checked swim shorts

For the men, a good pair of swimming shorts, a hat to protect a burning scalp (definitely not for covering up a bald patch), some sunglasses and classic leather flip flops, and you are good to go!

Thonged flip flops, Peppa Pig swimsuit, Ben 10 flip flops, F&F hooded beach poncho, F&F two pack fisherman hatsBen 10 swim shorts

For the kids, the most important thing is keeping their sensitive skin protected from the sun. For the little boys, I am sure you would agree that anything Ben 10 related will keep a big smile on their faces! Pair that with a sensible fishing hat, and you have a very happy (and protected) little one! For the girls, we just love frilly swimsuits! Another great buy, for girls or boys is a hooded towel. Keeps the sun away and it means no more squirming with them when you are trying to dry them off!

So wherever you and the family are heading off for your holidays, have a good time and remember to protect our sensitive British skins! Pink is definitely not a good colour this season….
