Dress

Morning,

It's the weekend! And we're not hungover today (always a good start!). Anyone up to anything exciting?

Busy day yesterday. We are now out of stock of the Yumi Meila Lace Tea Dress in black in Medium, but we still have it in Small and Large, or in the other colours. It's a really versatile vintage-look dress (I love mine!). We are also down to our last one of the Monsalina Chic Black & White Mini Dress so if you're a size 10, snap this one up (we do have a few more sizes left in the White & Black version).

Our Pick Of The Day today is this oh so pretty Iska Raka Skirt Dress, on sale for only £20.00! It's got a black lace top part, beautiful ruffled pink skirt, and ties at the back. It's a great party dress for the Summer, or would even be fantastic bargain for a prom. Iska is by Uttam, the people behind the gorgeous Yumi label, so you know you're getting something fantastic and distinctive. So maybe now is the time to be pretty in pink?

Have a great weekend!

Flattery Will Get You Everywhere

Morning,

Hopefully got a photoshoot going on upstairs this evening to get all of our lovely new Death Kitty pieces photographed so they can go up on the online shop. Will keep you posted!

Pick Of The Day today is one of my personal favourites. We're down to the last few of this grey Iska Layers Dress and now it's in the sale! People who have bought this have come back raving about how versatile and flattering it is. It's one of those dresses you can rely on to look great on those days when everything else doesn't seem to fit right. The Iska label is made by Uttam, whose own line you may have seen in Dorothy Perkins, and it's a sister label to Yumi, so you know it has a good pedigree! For more information or to order online, click the link below, or if you're local, pop in the shop and try it on.

Sex And The Small Town

Morning,

Getting our new flyers printed today ready for carnival weekend... look out for them. They have the Unorthodox manifesto on the back (oh yes, we have a manifesto... proper revolutionaries, here).

This Iska Raka Skirt Dress is our pick of the day. Iska is a pretty new label from Uttam (you may have seen their pieces in Dorothy Perkins) who also make Yumi clothes and accessories. It's a little less pricey than the Max C bits we stock, but great quality and designs. This dress is more than a little Carrie Bradshaw (if I recall she was wearing something similar in some of the promo shots for the first Sex And The City movie) and is perfect for all the modern princesses out there. The top part is floral black lace, there are ties that go into a bow at the back, and the pink ruffled skirt is really nicely lined. As I've said before, layering and ruffles are everywhere this summer, so it's on trend, but classic enough to last you for years to come. It's so damn pretty, so you can glam it up, or go for the tough/cute look that's about and team it with cropped leggings and a pair of Dr Martens (which we can order in for you, so have a flick through the catalogue in store!).

Right, dusting day today (all the dirt from the roadworks keeps floating through the door all over my poor floor and window sills!).

I love Rock N Roll

Morning,

All excited in the shop today as I get to see the new Max C range later (and maybe some bits from Uttam's new label, Iska). Been getting loads of great comments on our new interior sign (on the wall, above my head) that Pete made.

The pick of the day today is this Worn Free 'as worn by' Joan Jett t-shirt. I thought it was quite relevant given we're awaiting the UK release of the Kristen Stewart/Dakota Fanning starring biopic The Runaways, and this t-shirt gives you the chance to be ahead of the game! We have this one starting at Extra Small as well as the bigger sizes, so it's perfect for guys and gals.

Really need some caffeine today! So if you're planning on popping in, bring me a black coffee please!
