Ease Your Way In To Autumn

Hi all,

Here at L'Armoire we're pretty sure we can feel the autumn nip slowly creeping in (especially at night) and we have decided a little extra coverage is needed. That extra comes in abundance from American Vintage. With its chic French elements combined with truly luxurious fabrics, it makes for a winning label. And we love it. This week saw the arrival of some seriously cosy, comfy pieces. Here are our favourites;




This seasons shades make the boutique a real feast for your eyes. The colour pallet spans from chalk, to powder and garnet in to camels, biscuit and nutmegs right through to grey melange, charcoals, the usual all shades of black, and L'Armoire favourites navy and ink. There are beautiful accents of metallic seen in gold beading and lurex fleck details running through soft knits.


Are You a Bit of An Animal?

Sat in amongst the beautiful shades of the season is our absolute must have. An injection of animal print introduced in the scarf. Based on the success of last years 'Dellisha' grey leopard print scarf from Malene Birger, she has yet again come up trumps with three new prints and colour ways. We're betting you wont take it off for the next six months. Take your pick between these beauties (we say if you can, indulge a little and choose two so you can mix and match over your entire wardrobe).





 Fabulous Forties

The forties is always a popular reference for modern day fashion design. This Day Birger et Mikkelsen polka dot blouse reflects the subtle, feminine charm of the forties with its soft frill trim and delicate belt nipping the fabric in to the waist. All you need is a marcel wave and a neat pencil skirt and you are good to go.


Keep This Coat on the 'Down'-Low

We love it when a genius style idea and practical element come together to create a great winter wardrobe staple. Day have come up with this feather light down filled coat that cleverly rolls up almost like a sleeping bag into a cute little carrier making it small and light enough to take with you wherever you go. It is also super warm which ticks our biggest box. The colour 'elephant' also goes well with grey, black and brown.


Have a great weekend xx

P.S We will be closed on bank holiday Monday 29th August (but open on Saturday!) and will be back open on Tuesday 30th August for the working week.

Invest in your 'DAY Birger et Mikkelsen' Wear

Hi all,

Another week in fashion and another set of sightings of stylish celebs and yes, royalty once again have been seen in another one of the amazing brands stocked here at L'Armoire. Day Birger et Mikkelsen is the choice of many stylishly understated women and we can't tell you enough how hot this brand is right now!


We are pretty sure Kate Middleton would be a firm fan of L'Armoire judging by the labels she's loving right now. The Royal Canadian tour saw Kate wearing By Malene Birger and more recently at Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall's wedding she chose to wear a timeless and elegant coat dress by the Danish brand Day Birger et Mikkelsen which has been in her wardrobe since 2006. Obviously Kate loves an investment piece that never dates and can be worn for many occasions over many years.


Kim Kardashian joined in too this week by wearing one of Day's silky smooth layering pieces in the form of a striped maxi dress. Perfect for traveling and also staying cool and comfortable in, Day's layering pieces come in many shapes and forms, a selection of which is stocked here at L'Armoire.



Deliveries this Week 

All this talk of Day, and in a puff of smoke another delivery has arrived. This time we're glad the weather is on the cooler side for once as it can get pretty hot trying on all the lovely knitwear that has piled in.

Here's What's New...


Day 'Paisley' silk print scarf

Day salt & pepper 'Divide' cardy/coat

We love the oversized hood detail!

Day dark grey 'Eminence' jumper with gold shoulder caps

The long awaited felt floppy hat has also arrived from Day. Featured in last weeks Grazia (one of our favourite glossy mags here in the boutique), this gorgeous statement piece we think totally sums up the vibe of the coming season and looks great teamed with capes, coats, knits and dresses. The list is endless....


We are itching to wear our new season purchases already!


New Fashion Blog On Our Radar

Yes we've found another cool and style inspiring fashion blog cleverly named Fash n Chips. It's totally on our level here at L'Armoire giving us great put together looks with a polished edge. Take a look yourself here http://fash-n-chips.blogspot.com/
