Let Your Spring Style Blossom
Hi all,
If your like us, you have been full of the joys of spring these last couple of weeks. As the weather has got warmer and (this truly excites us), blossom has appeared everywhere we look, we are delighted to be rid of our winter coats in exchange for light weight jackets and macs. We have also ditched our wooly scarves for lighter and brighter substitutes.
The most amazing By Malene Birger jacket has arrived this week which we think is the most multi-tasking item we have come accross in a long time. Getting the best from both worlds, it's tailored shape suggests structure and formality on one hand, while the fabric, a linen mix offers a less dressy feel. Wear it for weddings, christenings, work wear, lunch date, evening jacket, or off duty chic with jeans and tee shirt. Phewff! The cost per wear is off the scale.
The weather has also brought us (right on cue) a lovely fresh new drop of American Vintage. So if it's lighter and finer layers you are after AV is the go to brand. The key is to mix it up with colours and tones. See our favourite pieces that have come in this week below:
AV vermillion stripe dress with rope belt
AV ditsy floral silk tank
It's a well known fact that Olivia Palermo is one of our style crushes here at L'Armoire. Her style is always effortless chic mixing high end with high street and vintage. Here we have re-created one of Olivia's key off duty looks for spring with some picks from the boutique;
By Malene Birger 'Genival' sand/grey cardigan, AV Indigo stripe tee, AV Indigo cotton drape skirt, Day 'Crystals' necklace.
A quick beauty tip from L'Armoire's contributing top make up artist:
Colour is where it's at for your summer make up bag Emma says. 'The Lips are a great place to start and if you dare to go bright, Estee Lauder's Wild Fire lipstick, No.41 from their Pure Colour range will give you the pop your looking for. If it's a more subtle approach your after Bobbie Brown do a beautiful pinky coral tone from their Lipshine range called Papaya'.
Enjoy the sunshine!
See you soon xx

Sheer Temptation....
Hi all,
With the warmer months looming, we want to be on top of all the trends to come. So do your homework early and take note:
Firstly, we loved Kate Bosworth's look at the Burberry show recently in London. A complete tonal nude outfit can pack as much punch as all the brights around if done in the right way. The studs and cropped biker jacket give off a great spring attitude.
Sheer is the way to go whether it be in the silk, cotton, or the textile industries genius micro modal (basically made of beach wood tree pulp). If the word 'sheer' sets alarm bells ringing don't fear, good base layers for this trend are always key. A little ruffle here or a pin tuck there keeps our favourite and most wearable 'sheer' key item, the blouse at the height of femininity. Here are our top picks in the boutique right now and how to wear them.
1.Dress down this silk ruffle ice blue Malene Birger blouse for day by teaming it with camel chinos. Ditch your heels for flats to give your outfit a more casual vibe.
2.Once again Malene Birger has got it spot on with this desert rouge cotton shirt with intricate pin tuck detailing. Cutting a flattering shape we suggest the perfect pairing with Day's 'Samantha' stone jeans.
3.Sheer is always sexy for evening. Black and cream is always a classic, chic look for evening. We can't think of an easier look for you to throw on when stuck for what to wear on a night out by combining this corn silk beaded blouse with a slim pair of black cigarette pants. Sky high heels and a clutch and your ready to go.
4.Cinch in this Day Birger et Mikkelsen night blue chiffon blouse with AV's tan plaited belt. Don't forget your base layer underneath. One of AV's classic tanks will do nicely. Wear for day with 70's inspired flared jeans and an essential pair of tan wedges to finish the look.
Raffia rules for summer accessories. From bags and shoes to floppy sun hats. Keep this trend fresh with Breton stripes (our favourite) and white. Channel the Jackie Onassis on the riviera look is what we're thinking... Cannes here we come!
Think Pink! We've noticed that the fashion world is having a little obsession with pink at the moment. Just a quick tip for new summer nails. Powder pink tones will give you a fresh feel and make a great change to the winter dark colours we've been used to. Our favourites at the moment are Chanel's Le Vernis nail colour in Pulsion or Peche Nacree.
See you soon xx
