Beady Eye

Morning,

Bit wet and miserable out there today, so remember, if you don't fancy venturing out, you can always shop on our online shop.

Pick Of The Day are these long, beaded necklaces by Irene Mosedale. These ones are made from wood and glass beads, but we also have a selection of other styles by her, as well as her bracelets. They are handmade, and each is a one-off. Perfect for brightening up any outfit.

Have a good day!

Back In Black

Morning

It's the start of another week. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Remember, our sale is still on so grab yourself a bargain, quick! We also have our new Smashing Glass pieces in, and the ones that are suitable for mail order will be going on the online shop ASAP.


Pick Of The Day today are these iconic and essential Dr Marten 1460 8-Eye boots in black. If you don't have a pair of basic black DM's, you really need some! They go with everything, we reckon (and look especially great with floaty floral spring dresses on the girls). Available in sizes 3 to 15, there's no excuse!

Have a great day!

Walking With The Ghost

Morning,

Just updated our information on our Facebook page so if you've not already had a look and clicked 'Like', check it out now! Best way of staying up to date with our news and exclusive special offers. Also, if you've bought something from us in the past, you can leave us a review. We always like to hear if people are happy with our service and products, and if we can improve in any way.

Fresh from its appearance in NGamer magazine, our Pick Of The Day is this Pacman box by D'n'J. It's a hand painted wooden box, that can be used for a multitude of things. Other designs are available, including tattoo-style designs, Paper Mario, and Invader Zim. To use a classic 'thank you' card phrase, it is both useful and decorative. Perfect for the gamer in your life.

Have a great Saturday. We're off out later to check out The 69's playing Retro-Beat at The Horseshoe down the road. There will be glitter involved. :)

Ruffle Feathers

Morning,

Got some exciting new Smashing Glass pieces coming in this afternoon so looking forward to seeing those! Also, our D'n'J boxes (exclusive to Unorthodox) were featured in the Christmas 2010 issue of NGamer (see below).


Anyway, on with our Pick Of The Day...

This gorgeous Iska Raka Skirt Dress was originally £35 but is now a mere £20 in our sale! Iska is a sister label to Yumi, who we will be stocking this Spring. This oh so pretty dress has a black lace top part, ties at the back, and has the beautiful pink ruffled skirt. It's about as pretty as it comes! And for £20 you can't really go wrong!

It's Friday!

Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam

Morning,

Our Worn Free t-shirts seem to be especially popular in the sale! Not surprising really when you realise they're now all only £25! Have a look around, that's very cheap for these beauties!

On my ongoing quest to work my way through all the Stargazer hair dyes, I have now forsaken my beloved Rouge for their Violet one, and I'm loving it! Might stick with this one for a little while. Plus, I have just about finally washed out all of the glitter from their Glitter Shakers from NYE (thanks to Deb at The Horseshoe for that one!).

Anyway, back to Worn Free for our Pick Of The Day. As I mentioned, all of the Worn Free t-shirts are now in our sale, but be quick as sizes and numbers are limited so when they're gone, they're gone! This is the Jesus Saves one in blue (also available in white) and is a fully licensed reproduction of the one worn by Keith Moon of The Who. It comes with the distinctive WF swingtag showing Mr Moon in the original, with all the info of when and where he wore it back in the day. The best bit of bargain band merch you'll see in a long time!

Have a great Thursday!

Layer Cake

Morning,

Glad to see you're all making the most of the sale. Whether its something you've had your eye on for a while, or you're looking to get a bargain, pop in store at 15 Silver Street, Wellingborough (on the corner of Silver Street and Oxford Street) or have a look at our online shop. Lots of sale bargains on Worn Free, Max C, Monsalina Chic, Iska, Death Kitty and Smashing Glass!

Pick Of The Day is one of our sale items, this Monsalina Chic Purple Layered Dress. This has been one of our most popular dresses, and is now only £25! Beautifully tailored, the silky plum coloured fabric is gorgeous with little layered pleats for a slight bodycon effect. This is a simple, smart piece that can be worn for work, or dressed up for a special occasion, whether you choose to go glam, or take advantage of the cut of it and go with a retro look. With a hidden zip at the back, it's the usual fantastic value and quality we expect from Monsalina Chic.

Hope your first week of 2011 is going well.

Happy New Year!

Morning,

Hope you all had a great new year! Welcome to 2011 chez Unorthodox. Admittedly, we still have our Christmas decorations up, but they will be coming down the minute one of my taller helpers arrives!

Have you had a look at our sale items yet? There are some serious bargains to be had across a lot of the designers.


Our first Pick Of The Day for 2011 is this cute Max C dress that's now reduced to £25 in our sale! Given that the RRP was £42, that's a bargain! It is a lovely light dress that can be worn as casual or dressed up, with a dropped waist and pink detail with polka dots on the neckline, around the arms, and on the bow. It hangs really nicely, so you can either layer it and wear it now, or put it away for warmer weather. Well worth a look.

Hope you all have a fantastic 2011!
