Running Up That Hill

Morning,

Had a great weekend. On Saturday night we went to Yum Yum at The Picturedrome in Northampton. For those not familiar with The Picturedrome, it's a fantastic venue that was originally opened in 1912 as Northampton's first purpose-built cinema. It's been really well preserved and it's a fantastic art deco building. Yum Yum itself is always a great night, and brilliant for fashion spotting. Lots of retro and mod inspired looks (I'm personally always fascinated by some of the womens' hairstyles and how they stay like that!). It's always great for some inspiration.

Talking of inspiration, I thought we'd show off a bit of our artistic side for Pick Of The Day today. This is The House On The Hill by Pippa Alice, £20.00. It's a signed original piece of artwork, hand drawn on handmade recycled cotton rag paper. Due to it's small size, it makes a great little gift. All Pippa Alice pieces have now been reduced to £20.00, which is a great deal for this distinctive little gems. This one is perfect for the architect or town planner in your life. :)

Hope your week is starting well!

3 Become 1

Morning,

Given that Blogger who host our blog have been having issues, this is a bit of a bumper post.

First off, we've arranged to donate 10% of all online sales of Yumi clothing in May to Claire Friend's Race For Life sponsorship. Race For Life is a fundraising event for Cancer Research UK and you can find out more about Claire and sponsor her on her Race For Life page. So, if you want gorgeous clothes and great karma, get shopping for Yumi on our online shop.

You can catch up on the Pick Of The Days that you may have missed on our Facebook page or Twitter. On Thursday we had the Maddie Corsage Hairslide, £5.00, and on Friday we had the Max C Jersey Rosette Bubble Dress, on sale for £20.00.

Today's Pick Of The Day is this Monsalina Chic Black Jersey Dress, £35.00. The long sleeves are perfect for this time of year, when the evenings are still a bit chilly. Everyone comments on how soft the material is, and seem to love the big pockets! It's a really comfortable dress, that is also very stylish with Sixties-style black plastic disc detailing, and it ties at the back with black ribbon. Also, most people have found that due to the loose fit, they prefer to pick a size down from their usual dress size, so you might want to consider that if ordering online. We only have a few sizes left now, and so many people have come back in raving about this one, so don't miss out!

Have a great weekend! We're venturing into Northampton tonight for Yum Yum at The Picturedrome!
