It Felt Like A Kiss

Morning,

It's Friday! Make sure you follow us on Twitter for our recommendations of who to follow!

We now have the new issue of Northamptonshire's Image magazine in store, so claim your free copy when you're shopping or sit down and have a read!

Pick Of The Day today are these handmade Irene Mosedale Felt & Wood Bracelets, £7.00 each. They are elasticated and made from wood and felt beads (the felt ones remind me of Muppets!), and they're a great way of adding a bit of kooky colour to your outfit. We also do matching Irene Mosedale Felt & Wood Necklaces as well!

Have a great weekend! We're here tomorrow for all your fashion needs!

I Got The Blues

Morning,

Hope you all had a good weekend! We were dancing about to post-mods The Francis Jetty at Retro-Beat and very good it was too. Hope you kept your copy of yesterday's Evening Telegraph as well for 10% off Yumi in store with our advert.

We did have a bit of a hiccup with the online shop overnight. We have received orders through, so don't think there was any problem there and it's all back up and running now. But still, if you placed an order and you'd like us to double check, just get in touch using the contact information on our online shop.

We've been browsing through the new Dr Martens catalogue for AW11. There's some fantastic new lines in there, including a few vegan styles. Very excited! Personally, I'm loving their new Mary Janes with interchangeable bows.

Pick Of The Day today are these cute handmade Irene Mosedale Pink & Blue Wooden Bracelets, £8.00. Each one is different, and they're made from a selection of wooden, metallic and plastic beads. Perfect for decorating your wrists now it's warm enough to have your arms out!

Happy Tuesday! Off to pack up last night's internet orders!

Morning,

It's Saturday! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, it's the Grand National today (not a fan, but there's a bookies across the road, so can't help but notice). For those shopping in store, we still have the special offer on our Stargazer hair dyes with them reduced to only £4.00 a box. For those doing their retail therapy online, register with the site before 9am on Tuesday, then look out for the 10% discount code to be announced on our Facebook page and Twitter.

Think our photographer Brian Chapman has a couple of shoots going on at the shop today, possibly with a new model, Rhianne, and one for The Liabilities. Then we're off to Retro-Beat tonight to see Roundhouse and Ali Blake playing live. If you're about, make sure you check it out.


Pick Of The Day are these bright, handmade Irene Mosedale Felt & Wood Necklaces, £10.00. They are long beaded strings and they look fantastic with maxi dresses. The wooden beads are interspersed with larger fuzzy felt ones, so they're really tactile too. Great if you love this season's bright colours but don't want to take the plunge to deep! As they are handmade, each is slightly different, and due to the limited availability of the felt beads, these and their matching bracelets are becoming quite sought after.

Have a great weekend whatever you're up to. Just shout if you need us.

Forget U

Morning,

We were very excited yesterday when flicking through the new issue of Heat magazine to see our Max C London Damien handbag in black on page 76. We also have this bag in grey and khaki. What's more, we have it at only £35!

We've just put up our certificate of membership for the Federation Of Small Businesses. We feel it adds an air of class to the establishment!

We've been gaining Twitter followers rapidly, so remember, if you like to Tweet, check out our Twitter page and follow us.

We're also looking for bloggers to collaborate with, so if you have a blog covering fashion, beauty or anything else related to what we do, get in touch.

Pick Of The Day are these handmade Felt & Wood Bracelets by Irene Mosedale. Each is unique, and these ones are made with felt and wood beads. The felt ones faintly remind us of The Muppets, but I swear none were harmed in the making of these accessories! We also have necklaces in stock in the same style. These are a great way of brightening up any outfit, come in a variety of colour options, and are great little pick-me-ups for either you or someone who needs an excuse to smile.

Choose and order the Irene Mosedale Felt & Wood Bracelets on our online shop.

Speaking of Muppets, it seemed like a good excuse to relive their fantastic performance with Cee Lo Green and Gwyneth Paltrow at the Grammy Awards!



Have a great Wednesday, and we'll be back tomorrow!

Shadowplay

Morning,

I've been doing a bit of New Years trendspotting this month, and I've noticed the following things seem to be getting really popular... Dr Martens in Cherry Red (especially 10 and 14 eyelet ones), all patent Dr Martens (which we can't get in stock for love nor money until around March, I'm afraid), ginger and auburn tinged Stargazer hair dyes, Irene Mosedale beaded necklaces and bracelets, and our Monsalina Chic dresses are getting loads of attention! Remember, most of our accessories and clothes are available in limited numbers only, so if you love it, make it yours (especially with the sale on!).

The biggest pile of post just arrived, so it's going to be a brief one today, and I'm going to crack on with our Pick Of The Day...

Something for the guys today (or girls who like their shorts baggy, I suppose). These Spiral Direct shorts have the fantastic Shadow Skull print front and back. They're great quality, and perfect for when the warmer weather hits. Plus, they're now in our sale with a tenner off!

View the Spiral Direct Shadow Skull Shorts on our online shop.

Right, off to tackle the post mountain. Have a good day!

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.

Paper Moon

Morning,

Only 2 left of the Temporary:Secretary Keep Calm & Carry On necklaces so if you've had your eye on one, get in now!

We're very excited to announce them from February, we will be stocking the fantastic label, Yumi, as worn by Lily Allen, Jameela Jamil, Sienna Miller and co. Really excited, and we think we've picked out some gorgeous pieces from the Spring/Summer 2011 range for your delight and delectation.

Pick Of The Day are these absolutely gorgeous necklaces by Irene Mosedale. We stock an assortment of necklaces and bracelets handmade by Irene, each unique and in different materials. These ones are especially lovely, as nestled amongst the usual beads are handmade patterned paper ones. The ultimate in recycling! All you have to do is pick the necklace in the colours you like best, then sit back, secure in the fact it's the only one out there. And for a tenner, they make great Xmas gifts for anyone who loves their crafts, their colours, or just wants a bit of boho hippy chic.
