Summer Sale Preview

Hi all,

As the summer is flying by it always makes you feel that little bit special when you inject a burst of freshness in to your life. We like to think of L'Armoire as an extension of our own customers wardrobe's (hence the boutique's French name meaning 'The Wardrobe'). There is always something new, as stock arrives throughout the entire season. So, whether it's a mid summers party, barbecue, wedding, christening or holiday basics, we've got it covered. Here's what new in...;

 Day Birger et Mikkelsen-Minty biker style 'Modish' jacket

 Day Birger et Mikkelsen-Cool mint vintage beaded 'Grenelle' dress

 
Day Birger et Mikkelsen-Navy print 'Getaway' tunic/dress

 How to Dress Rain or Shine

Layering is pretty much the concept that saves you feeling 'undressed' on cooler days and allows you to adapt your look on days you get caught out in a heatwave (we realise these are rare). The great thing about layering is that it's more or less trans-seasonal, allowing you to get more mileage out of well invested pieces. From lightweight basics, soft jackets, fine knits and of course scarves. The key is to keep layers simple and tonal. It will almost certainly become part of your daily outfit routine and we bet you'll be hooked before you know it.
 


Lifestyle: Our Favourite New Website

The lovely Xantippe in Cowbridge has launched a brand spanking new website which we are rather pleased about. The clean and easy to navigate site allows you to browse their ever changing stock of home a lifestyle products if you can't make it in to the store itself. Our favourites have to be their beautiful glassware and extensive feather filled cushion selection that has on many occasion saved our gift dilemmas. As big fans of the French style interiors, Xantippe also stock the much loved (and hard to find) Comptoir de Famille brand. We're obsessed with their 'Dimanche a la Campagne' scented candle right now which you will more often than not find burning in L'Armoire most days. Check out the new website at www.xantippe.co.uk where you can sign up to their monthly newsletters by sending ‘yes please’ to enquiries@xantippe.co.uk 

    Fashion @ Arboreal Low Down...

If you weren't able to make our fashion night at Arboreal back in May, then here's a lovely photo of the L'Armoire girls looking gorgeous on our lawn. The night itself was super stylish as expected and as a full house we managed to raise £590 for Ty Hafan. Thanks to everyone that attended. Let's just say that L'Armoire's new front lawn was christened in style. We're looking forward to the next autumn event already!


See you all soon xx
