What's Been Going On at L'Armoire...?

Hi all,


So finally we are into autumn/winter season! The weather is on our side (if a little wet for our liking), now is the time to start adding those seasonal hints. Try the much sort after By Malene Birger grey leopard print 'Dellisha' scarf. It's already sold out once, but we managed to snatch the last few they had in stock!



And if you haven't already invested in a little knitwear, check out Day Birger et Mikkelsen's cosy range. We love that we can use it now almost instead of a jacket. Embellishment is in its plenty, adorning their dark grey poncho knit and as pocket detail on their black waffle cardy.







Day's 'Marine' jumper gives a nod to the Paris chic vibe, but you can give it that on trend fifty's spin seen on the catwalks at Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant by teaming it with slim black cigarette pants and pointy court shoes.



As we reported in our last newsletter, the stylish presenter Emma Willis was spotted wearing a By malene Birger blouse on BBLB that we stock here at L'Armoire. Well, she must be a fan because once again she was seen wearing their 'Tengira' dress (also featured in last weeks newsletter) we also stock...Ahhh, great style minds think alike!!

Also last week, actress Rebecca Atkinson popped in to say hi while staying in the area. She stocked up on all her autumn/winter goodies while here, bagging some of the hottest items in store!! We say she will be looking super stylish this season.



                                                            Our outfit of the week is...

                                                         Day black leather 'rock' pants
                                                  By Malene Birger grey 'Tibrose' cardigan
                                                     American Vintage khaki cotton scarf
                                                           Day gold 'circles' necklace
L'Armoire owner Melissa has once again been off to London buying for...can you believe it, spring/summer11. We can never quite get our heads round it that far in advance, but she has promised some amazing pieces! 'There is a beautiful soft colour pallet that will lead the season with feminine silk and chiffon pieces throughout. The camel colour continues in a short classic trench mirroring Buberry style at its best'.

See you soon xx

A New Season Begins...

Hi all,


If you are like us, we are desperate to dip our little tootsies into the Autumn /Winter trends already. L'Armoire has had lots of gorgeous pieces in so far that scream 'wear me now!' but also say 'take me into autumn/winter' too. And yes, we can tell you exactly how to put your looks together.

Day Birger et Mikkelsen's silk paisley print dress is perfect for wearing right now with bare legs and their metal knot long necklace. Come the cooler weather choose from a whole range of colours of American Vintage's long sleeve basics to wear underneath with either our new Falke tights and leggings or By Malene Birger's grey skinny biker jeans. And there is plenty more where that came from!

One of our hobbies is to get lost in our favourite fashion glossy magazine every week/month. Here are our top five favourite mags;

1. Of course this top spot will always go to Vogue. We call it our 'inspirational guide' as opposed to fashion bible, and the latest issue is always to hand around the shop.

2. Grazia comes a close second with its weekly fix of hot new trends etc with a little celeb juicy gossip thrown in. Any event going on in the fashion world will always be reported in Grazia first.

3. Elle has the best front covers. Our recent favourite being June's 'Kylie in Love' issue. Elle can lean towards the slightly cooler/edgier side which gives a great balance to our other four favourites.

4. In Style always seems to sit under the radar but we have loved it for years. It never fails to edit the best picks from designers down to high street. Every issue gives you a great guide to putting together each seasons wardrobe.

5. Harper's Bazaar is a relatively new favourite. If your looking for glamour, this mag sums it up short and sharp. And speaking of front covers we totally loved June's mesmerising black and white photograph of the gorgeous Cheryl Cole (or is it Tweedy..? We're not quite sure what to call her now).


We get very excited when we see any celebrity/style icon wearing a piece we stock here at L'Armoire. And very chic indeed did BBLB's Emma Willis look last week when she was spotted presenting the show in By Malene Birger's 'Liton' blouse which we stock here in beautiful beige! (See above)
