Christmas Countdown...

Hi all,

We gave you our special Christmas gift guide a couple of weeks ago and now it's time to spoil yourself! The Christmas holidays are the best excuse we have all year to indulge in excess everything. From food (chocolate being the favourite) and alcohol to TV Christmas specials in abundance. We can't wait to get our luxury lounge wear on for the entire festive period (that is until New Year's Eve...there will be more of that later), curl up on the sofa with one eye on a great fashion book and the other on Patsy and Eddie in the new Ab Fab special. As you all know L'Armoire is full of cosy luxury basics perfect for the holidays so here some of our favourites for relaxing stylishly;

Day Birger et Mikkelsen long stripe knit £149
Liberty Ianthe Jacquard scarf £235

American Vintage grey cashmere blend jumper dress £186
Asui dove wool scarf £82

Malene Birger navy stretch pants £115

The Christmas countdown has begun and it's not just pressies on our 'to do' lists..., It's party outfits too! With the festive season in full swing it's time to get your glad rags on! New Years Eve is the next big night on the calender. Get it covered with this By Malene Birger navy and black chic lace dress. We think it's a total knock out!

Malene Birger navy and black lace dress £329
Day Birger et Mikkelsen 'Splendid' necklace £84

We love supporting new innovative businesses here at L'Armoire and we definitely want to share this one with you. I Like It Here Boutique is new and it's online. Selling fun, luxury lifestyle accessories for the home, exclusive hand-crafted accessories and gifts, with a range of items reaching over the globe, from Brooklyn, to Kathmandu. The collection is a mix of rural – urban, rustic – bilingualism, edited and collated by a modern nomad. Aimed at the culturally and socially aware buyer, who increasingly want to know more about where the things they furnish their homes and accessorise themselves with, come from. Each product features a story, the site is designed to explain these socially engaging tales from the makers and designers behind the object. The store is now live at http://www.ilikeithereboutique.com/ (As always we love a great blog so we suggest you check out theirs out too http://www.ilikeithereblog.tumblr.com/ )

Here we've picked two of our favourite pieces from the site;

1. Leather Fringed Bag in Chocolate by Enshallah-This gorgeous boho fringed leather bag goes perfectly with a casual outfit, skinnies and maybe some cashmere/knitware by Day? A great little bag for Christmas. Enshallah is a fantastic brand who produce embroidered and hand-crafted accessories in Morocco (£88)

2. The Green Deer Coffee Mug or Kaffeescharle by Riess-A lovely enamelled coffee mug from the retro Austrian cookware makers Riess, creamy white with a prancing green deer, we think this looks fab for a big mug of cocoa at the end of a Winter's day (£14)


See you soon xx

P.S.We are now open straight through to Christmas. Monday to Saturday 10am-5:30pm, Sunday 11am-4pm and Christmas Eve 10am-4pm.

The Gift Edit

Hi all,


We've got it all wrapped up here at L'Armoire with our selected gift guide making it easy peasy for you to get to the bottom of your Christmas shopping list in one fell swoop, so take note!

Stocking Fillers

Everyone loves a Christmas stocking no matter how old they are. We say the smaller the gift the more you can pack in! Choose from our pretty Orelia jewellery collection full of delicate necklaces, pretty bracelets and earrings. (£12-£25)



A lovely pair of Falke tights also make a soft and cosy staple gift that every girl needs in her wardrobe. We love the grey cotton knit pair that are on the right side of wooly. (£15-£23)


Can't Go Wrong

American Vintage all round luxury basics make a lovely pressie to wrap up and relax in over the holiday period. The range is always full of cottons, cashmere and wool knits and never fail to seduce any recipient with their super soft feel. (£35-£168)


When buying a piece of jewellery for someone that you never quite know wears gold or silver, why not go for Malene Birger's mixed metal cuff woven from both. They'll never want to take it off! (£48)


It's a Wrap

Scarves are something we always have a great selection of here at L'Armoire. Get it all tied up with a splash of colour here or a print there and any girl will be over the moon when you come up trumps. There is always guidance in store on how to tie your scarves so after Christmas send your loved one in for a mini masterclass! (£48-£102)

For the girl that knows her fashion and is always tricky to buy for, Day's lovely charcoal grey wool hat will prove to be the ultimate cover up from the cold and she will be impressed you also know this over sized floppy style is the hat to be seen in this season. (£109)


Spoilt Rotten

This is where (if your feeling generous) you can blow the budget! If your buying for someone special you know then it's best to stay focused. If it's a classic girl your buying for we suggest this Malene Birger neat camel jacket. It will definitely prove to be a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. (£299)


And finally, what would Christmas be without a wonderful winter knit. Once again Malene Birger has covered this one with her over sized cosy woollen cardy/coat. We're secretly hoping this will be on our pile under the tree this year...(£265)

P.S. If all else fails, don't forget L'Armoire offers fail safe gift vouchers allowing them to choose for themselves at their leisure.

British Fashion Awards 2011

We love this time of the year when the good and the great from the world of British fashion descend stylishly upon the Savoy hotel in London for the the Fashion Council's annual awards ceremony. This year didn't disappoint and we always like to choose our own 'best dressed' here at L'Armoire so here is our top three;

1. Olivia Palermo in a feathery delight by Matthew Williamson.


2. Alex Chung for the second year in a row collecting her award for Best British Style looking cute as a button in Christopher Kane.

3. Double points to Patrick Grant for swapping the classic black dinner jacket for a checkered number. (Well he is the owner of Savile Row tailor Norton &Sons so why not).


See the winners and all the outfits here http://www.britishfashioncouncil.com/content/1142/British-Fashion-Awards

*There are still a few tickets left for our 'Fashion Play' this Friday 2nd December at 7:30pm in Barefoot Studio, Cowbridge. It's all to raise money for a good cause (Macmillan) so if you haven't already got your tickets (£5), email us or give us a call at the boutique on 01446 774766. After the show there will also be a little L'Armoire gift stall there giving you the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping whilst sipping bubbly and nibbling cupcakes.
