If Malene Birger Is Good Enough For Royalty....

Hi all,

With all attention focused on our own royal family at the moment here in the UK we'd forgive you for thinking that we are talking about only one very stylish certain princess to be. Well we're not (but we will most certainly later).

Here at L'Armoire we like to think we choose the best go to brands that are accessible to everyone. And it came to light recently that even royalty (the pop kind too) love Danish designer By Malene Birger. Yes, chosen for a state gala dinner by the Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, was one of Malene Birger's beautiful full lenght gowns. Accessorized with sash and tiara we cant think of a better brand ambassador other than....Kylie Minogue!? She too was spotted last week on the Dublin leg of her tour in one of BMB's chic cream blouses. Follow their lead and pop into our boutique in Cowbridge and check out Malene Birger's summer collection. And yes, we are talking to you too Kate Middleton. Don't let the side down...! (Ha, ha).

Malene Birger's Timeless Trench

Hi all,

Every couple of weeks, we like to update you with what exciting goodies have been arriving at L'Armoire, and this week has seen the arrival of By Malene Birger's take on the iconic trench coat.

Malene Birger camel 'Salinda' trench

American Vintage floral silk tank

Malene Birger black 'Ellua' trousers

The trench has a place firmly etched in fashion history and year after year it never fails to be a wardrobe classic. Audrey Hepburn made the trench rocket in the style stakes in the famous final scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's and since has been coveted over and over by some of the most stylish women in history from Audrey and Jackie Onassis to Kate Moss, Alexa Chung and most recently Kate Middleton.

Style the trench up by rolling the sleeves and knotting the belt at the back for a loose off duty look or at the front for a cleaner more pulled together approach. It will last you for many many seasons to come.

Jetting off for a sunny Easter escape?

American Vintage is your answer to your lighter luggage quandary. It is perfect for packing small. Being so fine and lightweight it takes up no space at all allowing you to pack that extra pair of shoes you just can't do without. It is also so easy to wash while your away too. Easily rinse your fine tee's and basics through and hang out on your balcony. They will be dry in no time!  This summers collection has so many easy wear and versatile pieces you can't go wrong. Here are our holiday essentials...

The only way to start is with the basics. Choose two colours at each end of the spectrum, a neutral and a stronger, brighter colour in AV's fine cotton tanks. These layer under pretty much anything!

The long sleeve basic gives you more coverage yet is still a fine and cool layering piece. These look great peaking from under a simple cap sleeve tee shirt, cardy or under the finest of cashmere for cooler days and nights (See below).

Our favourite essential American Vintage staple has to be their large cotton scarves. This season's sugary lilac (above) complements the whitest of whites, looks great with nudes, sherbet tones and even brights. It's versatile size and shape allows you to wrap yourself up whilst on your flight and once reaching your destination it doubles up as a stylish beach cover up. 

This beautiful cream top will cover both day and night. It's silky fabric drapes easily over the body showing off your sun kissed tan. Add a statement necklace with sparkle for evening or liven it up a little for day by layering it over either one of the tank or long sleeve basics.

(All of the above are available in other colour ways allowing you to find what suits you)

There is no excuse now the weather is here..., sort out your wardrobe and embrace the new season! Remember we are more than just a boutique selling clothes here at L'Armoire we offer advice and guidance to make sure your wardrobe fits your lifestyle.

See you soon xx
