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… Strutt

By Rochelle Symons in Clothing at Tesco loves on Friday 13th January, 2012

Strutt

Happy Friday everyone, it’s that wonderful time of the week where we can wind down and share one of our favourite fashion blogs with you! This week, we thought we’d point you in the direction of a little gem of called Strutt, written by Fashion Design graduate Charlene.

 

Charlene has an unmistakable passion for vintage clothing, as well as having a great eye for what’s hot – and what’s not! Her personal style is fab and she embraces the 60’s look with a touch of modern charm. We particularly like her outfit in her recent post Lace & Faux Fur, with faux fur being bang-on-trend this winter, and perfect for keeping you toasty even on those blisteringly cold days.

 

One of the things we particularly love about her outfit choices is her extensive hat collection – especially this one, which looks just right with the gorgeous velvet dress, giving it that slightly rocky look.

 

So whether it’s faux fur or animal print, Charlene’s blog is definitely one to watch, Don’t forget to follow her on Twitter to get the latest updates!

Ellie And

Happy Friday everyone! This week has rushed past, but luckily we have managed to squeeze in a bit of time to catch up with our favourite blogs. This time, we thought we’d share with you a fantastic blog called Ellie and.

 

The blogs creator, Danni has a great eye for fashion and has a fab vintage look. We love her entire outfit in her post: Well Boo Hoo , which has really got us thinking about some great 50’s inspired combos.  One of the things we really like about her outfit posts is the wonderful jewellery she always wears – just check out this splendid key necklace in her most recent post.

 

Not only does Danni put together some fab outfits, she can also whip up some very tasty looking treats. These cookies look absolutely delicious and our mouths are watering just looking them.

 

It’s truly a great blog with heaps of inspiration! Be sure to check it out, and as ever, be sure to follow her on Twitter.
