Cowbridge Fashion Week!!

Hi all,

Just sending a quick reminder to all you fashion savvy ladies that Cowbridge Fashion Week starts this Thursday 21st!! It all kicks off with the fashion parade which starts up on Westgate and will run down to the Town Hall. L'Armoire will have tree gorgeous models showing our hottest picks from our Autumn/Winter collections. From there L'Armoire invites you to join us for a late night opening until 8pm and every girls favourite... shopping, champagne and cupcakes. Once again L'Armoire is offering mini make overs and beauty tips from our fantastic make up artist Juliet. The perfect combination for a fabulously fashionable night out!

Thursday will also see the long awaited drop of Falke tights. Come and snap up your black smooth basic hosiery, and also mix it up with a little navy, grey,wine, and bottle green. Along with their super comfy black rib legging your wardrobe staples will be set before the cold weather sets in.

Saturday 23rd sees L'Armoire's first catwalk show which starts at 1pm in the Town Hall. We will be giving London Fashion Week a run for its money with a slick production. We say it's a must see. It will be on a first come first serve basis, unless you have already put your name down for a reserved seat. (Please call Melissa on 01446 774766 if you still wish to reserve a seat).

We've also had the perfect cashmere blend jumper dresses in to team up with your Falke legging and tights. This cool little Parisian brand called Suncoo teams cute and on trend wearable pieces with fun and quirky prints.


See you soon xx

All Wrapped Up

Hi all,

So the season is going with a swing and we can't get enough of all the cosy cashmere, angora, wool, sumptuous velvet and layers of super soft cottons. And here at L'Armoire we have the perfect luxury wardrobe staple replacing your faithful jeans to team with all of the above for day and for night. Day Birger et Mikkelsen's black leather trousers. Not only are they made of the softest of leather, but they also have a genius stretch fabric panel that runs down the leg giving comfort, movement and best of all, legs that go on forever. Eat your heart out Kate Moss! A style tip to sass them up for night time; Team the with Day's softly sheer army green caftan for an altogether seductive look.




Last weekend saw the Ryder cup bring lots of visitors from across the pond. And while we could tell you we spotted Catherine Zeta Jones, David Beckham, Will Smith & Co milling around Cowbridge, we'd be lying. Although we did meet some lovely customers who loved the intimate and friendly service here at L'Armoire combined with some fantastic stylish European brands.


Scarves are totally where its at right now. As soon as that nip in the air comes, we are straight on with whichever scarf suits our mood (and outfit). Come and choose from leopard, embellished, linen, wool, Liberty and luxury silk. Just take your pick...

Back by popular demand is our top five best beauty buys for this season;

1. Laura Mercier's Foundation Primer, £27 is amazing for giving your make-up that flawless finish. Use it as a great base for anything from tinted moisturiser to full-on foundation.

2. Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadows, £39 are a great way to change your regular eye routine to inspired seasonal colours in one quick stroke. With 5 colours to choose from, we give it an A* for cost per shade.

3. Chanel's Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner, £17. For a pencil eyeliner this has great staying power, and can be worn as either a sharp line or smudged for a sexy smoky effect.

4. Guerlain's KissKiss Essence de Gloss, £20. We are always trying to find the perfect lip gloss, and this ranks high in our charts with the best choice of colours and non-sticky texture that doesn't need endless reapplying.

5.Shu Uemura's Eyelash Curler, £19.50. Considered the best in the business, we love its shape that allows you to curl every single tiny lash, giving them a soft, lasting curve.


And finally our outfit of the week;
                                                     American Vintage stripe cotton dress
                                          Day Birger et Mikkelsen light grey 'Prettio' cardigan
                                                    American Vintage skin cashmere scarf
                                 Day Birger et Mikkelsen winter lavender 'Velvet Plait' bracelets
