What's New...??

Hi all,

It's been an exciting month in the fashion calendar and this week it was London's turn. The stylishly understated Samantha Cameron kicked things of at Somerset House for London Fashion Week. L'Armoire attended on Monday, spotting lots of trends set for next season, so take note: Don't be scared of colour there is a simple fail safe way to do it this season. Everyone from the editors, front row to the fashion bloggers are keeping their look mainly neutral and adding their bright colour pop with an accessory. Mainly bags, shoes and belts and scarves!

Of the shows, our favourite has to have been Mulberry's quintessentially English autumn/winter collection. Turning Claridges ballroom into a woodland fairytale the beautiful palette was a muddy mix of conker browns, camels, mole greys, moss greens, red onion and dark heather. It makes us feel proud to be British, so we say watch this space and see them rise to the top. Check out the show here; http://bit.ly/gmI0hR

Here at the boutique we have been keeping the momentum going and filling up with lots of new season goodies. Another great way to introduce a little colour block to your look can be to simply add one of American Vintages basics. We suggest you layer a pop of red underneath to start.

                                                         Set the tone with any of these.....

                                                               (Basics start from £35)

Once again stripes are a strong trend for spring/summer. We know here at L'Armoire we just cant get enough of them. As well as the bold stripe dominating, we also love American Vintage fine navy stripe tees. A classic in any girls wardrobe they are hard working and always look fresh. Here are our favourites in store right now...,

                                 American Vintage stripe top £80 & indigo cotton jacket £130

Sand cotton knit £150, indigo stripe tee £80, bamboo cotton basic tank £35, indigo skirt £69, tan woven leather belt £38. All American Vintage.

                Seventies inspired black and cream bold stripe bat wing dress from Malene Birger £268

Everyone loves a smart season buy and Day Birget et Mikkelsen have come up with this summer lightweight parka that fits the brief perfectly. We all know that the Great British summer can be somewhat wet from time to time so this great parka will keep you stylishly covered and no longer needing to dodge the showers staying cool too. Throw over anything from a cute summer ditsy dress to jeans and fine layers. We promise it will be a hard working wardrobe staple.

                                                 Day 'Upside Down' lightweight parka £235

Beautiful Basic's

Hi all,

It's been a busy couple of weeks in L'Armoire, with new stock coming thick and fast. Firstly, we have had our long awaited drop of  American Vintage's beautiful basics. Come and stock up on your wardrobe base layers in summers softest hues, from mauve and rose melange to heather grey, lychee and bamboo. These will be perfect for you to wear right now bringing a little freshness to your look.

The Classic;

So, every girl loves a crisp white shirt. You can't go wrong with this timeless piece, and with so many around to choose from it's easy just to opt for the obvious little fitted number. Malene Birger has come up with the perfect alternative. Softening the sharp look with an over sized version that is still crisp, still white, but looks like you borrowed it from the man in your life. It also gives the 'I've just thrown this on' vibe that always looks enviable cool and stylish.

Every season there's a stripe somewhere in almost every collection and this summer is all about the bold stripe. The real key to the take on this nautical trend is that they dominate the outfit. With Malene Birger's knitted box shaped cardigan it's about drawing attention to the stripes above all else. The secret is to keep everything else very simple, so remember subtle colours and classic shapes.

With Valentines day just a couple of days away we have the perfect little black top to wear out for dinner with your valentine or staying in for a romantic evening for two. We love the sheer shoulder straps that give a subtle hint at your sexy side. All you need if your staying in is to throw over a soft luxurious knit and team with jeans or if going out wear with black peg shaped trousers and a cute cropped jacket.

London Fashion week is coming up at the end of February, so don't forget to keep track of what we see by following us on Twitter http://twitter.com/larmoire_style and becoming a fan of our Facebook page http://on.fb.me/fK9jLq
