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.
