Let Your Spring Style Blossom
Hi all,
If your like us, you have been full of the joys of spring these last couple of weeks. As the weather has got warmer and (this truly excites us), blossom has appeared everywhere we look, we are delighted to be rid of our winter coats in exchange for light weight jackets and macs. We have also ditched our wooly scarves for lighter and brighter substitutes.
The most amazing By Malene Birger jacket has arrived this week which we think is the most multi-tasking item we have come accross in a long time. Getting the best from both worlds, it's tailored shape suggests structure and formality on one hand, while the fabric, a linen mix offers a less dressy feel. Wear it for weddings, christenings, work wear, lunch date, evening jacket, or off duty chic with jeans and tee shirt. Phewff! The cost per wear is off the scale.
The weather has also brought us (right on cue) a lovely fresh new drop of American Vintage. So if it's lighter and finer layers you are after AV is the go to brand. The key is to mix it up with colours and tones. See our favourite pieces that have come in this week below:
AV vermillion stripe dress with rope belt
AV ditsy floral silk tank
It's a well known fact that Olivia Palermo is one of our style crushes here at L'Armoire. Her style is always effortless chic mixing high end with high street and vintage. Here we have re-created one of Olivia's key off duty looks for spring with some picks from the boutique;
By Malene Birger 'Genival' sand/grey cardigan, AV Indigo stripe tee, AV Indigo cotton drape skirt, Day 'Crystals' necklace.
A quick beauty tip from L'Armoire's contributing top make up artist:
Colour is where it's at for your summer make up bag Emma says. 'The Lips are a great place to start and if you dare to go bright, Estee Lauder's Wild Fire lipstick, No.41 from their Pure Colour range will give you the pop your looking for. If it's a more subtle approach your after Bobbie Brown do a beautiful pinky coral tone from their Lipshine range called Papaya'.
Enjoy the sunshine!
See you soon xx

Sheer Temptation....
Hi all,
With the warmer months looming, we want to be on top of all the trends to come. So do your homework early and take note:
Firstly, we loved Kate Bosworth's look at the Burberry show recently in London. A complete tonal nude outfit can pack as much punch as all the brights around if done in the right way. The studs and cropped biker jacket give off a great spring attitude.
Sheer is the way to go whether it be in the silk, cotton, or the textile industries genius micro modal (basically made of beach wood tree pulp). If the word 'sheer' sets alarm bells ringing don't fear, good base layers for this trend are always key. A little ruffle here or a pin tuck there keeps our favourite and most wearable 'sheer' key item, the blouse at the height of femininity. Here are our top picks in the boutique right now and how to wear them.
1.Dress down this silk ruffle ice blue Malene Birger blouse for day by teaming it with camel chinos. Ditch your heels for flats to give your outfit a more casual vibe.
2.Once again Malene Birger has got it spot on with this desert rouge cotton shirt with intricate pin tuck detailing. Cutting a flattering shape we suggest the perfect pairing with Day's 'Samantha' stone jeans.
3.Sheer is always sexy for evening. Black and cream is always a classic, chic look for evening. We can't think of an easier look for you to throw on when stuck for what to wear on a night out by combining this corn silk beaded blouse with a slim pair of black cigarette pants. Sky high heels and a clutch and your ready to go.
4.Cinch in this Day Birger et Mikkelsen night blue chiffon blouse with AV's tan plaited belt. Don't forget your base layer underneath. One of AV's classic tanks will do nicely. Wear for day with 70's inspired flared jeans and an essential pair of tan wedges to finish the look.
Raffia rules for summer accessories. From bags and shoes to floppy sun hats. Keep this trend fresh with Breton stripes (our favourite) and white. Channel the Jackie Onassis on the riviera look is what we're thinking... Cannes here we come!
Think Pink! We've noticed that the fashion world is having a little obsession with pink at the moment. Just a quick tip for new summer nails. Powder pink tones will give you a fresh feel and make a great change to the winter dark colours we've been used to. Our favourites at the moment are Chanel's Le Vernis nail colour in Pulsion or Peche Nacree.

What's New...??
Hi all,
It's been an exciting month in the fashion calendar and this week it was London's turn. The stylishly understated Samantha Cameron kicked things of at Somerset House for London Fashion Week. L'Armoire attended on Monday, spotting lots of trends set for next season, so take note: Don't be scared of colour there is a simple fail safe way to do it this season. Everyone from the editors, front row to the fashion bloggers are keeping their look mainly neutral and adding their bright colour pop with an accessory. Mainly bags, shoes and belts and scarves!
Of the shows, our favourite has to have been Mulberry's quintessentially English autumn/winter collection. Turning Claridges ballroom into a woodland fairytale the beautiful palette was a muddy mix of conker browns, camels, mole greys, moss greens, red onion and dark heather. It makes us feel proud to be British, so we say watch this space and see them rise to the top. Check out the show here; http://bit.ly/gmI0hR
Here at the boutique we have been keeping the momentum going and filling up with lots of new season goodies. Another great way to introduce a little colour block to your look can be to simply add one of American Vintages basics. We suggest you layer a pop of red underneath to start.
Set the tone with any of these.....
(Basics start from £35)
Once again stripes are a strong trend for spring/summer. We know here at L'Armoire we just cant get enough of them. As well as the bold stripe dominating, we also love American Vintage fine navy stripe tees. A classic in any girls wardrobe they are hard working and always look fresh. Here are our favourites in store right now...,
American Vintage stripe top £80 & indigo cotton jacket £130
Sand cotton knit £150, indigo stripe tee £80, bamboo cotton basic tank £35, indigo skirt £69, tan woven leather belt £38. All American Vintage.
Seventies inspired black and cream bold stripe bat wing dress from Malene Birger £268
Everyone loves a smart season buy and Day Birget et Mikkelsen have come up with this summer lightweight parka that fits the brief perfectly. We all know that the Great British summer can be somewhat wet from time to time so this great parka will keep you stylishly covered and no longer needing to dodge the showers staying cool too. Throw over anything from a cute summer ditsy dress to jeans and fine layers. We promise it will be a hard working wardrobe staple.
Day 'Upside Down' lightweight parka £235
P.S Thought we would share this link to this amazing website that keeps you bang up to date with what's coming straight off the catwalks around the globe ( from their runway/daily chronicles), the latest trends and basically anything else to do with the fashion and consumer industry full stop. Check it out! http://www.stylesight.com/

Beautiful Basic's
Hi all,
It's been a busy couple of weeks in L'Armoire, with new stock coming thick and fast. Firstly, we have had our long awaited drop of American Vintage's beautiful basics. Come and stock up on your wardrobe base layers in summers softest hues, from mauve and rose melange to heather grey, lychee and bamboo. These will be perfect for you to wear right now bringing a little freshness to your look.
The Classic;
So, every girl loves a crisp white shirt. You can't go wrong with this timeless piece, and with so many around to choose from it's easy just to opt for the obvious little fitted number. Malene Birger has come up with the perfect alternative. Softening the sharp look with an over sized version that is still crisp, still white, but looks like you borrowed it from the man in your life. It also gives the 'I've just thrown this on' vibe that always looks enviable cool and stylish.

Every season there's a stripe somewhere in almost every collection and this summer is all about the bold stripe. The real key to the take on this nautical trend is that they dominate the outfit. With Malene Birger's knitted box shaped cardigan it's about drawing attention to the stripes above all else. The secret is to keep everything else very simple, so remember subtle colours and classic shapes.
With Valentines day just a couple of days away we have the perfect little black top to wear out for dinner with your valentine or staying in for a romantic evening for two. We love the sheer shoulder straps that give a subtle hint at your sexy side. All you need if your staying in is to throw over a soft luxurious knit and team with jeans or if going out wear with black peg shaped trousers and a cute cropped jacket.
London Fashion week is coming up at the end of February, so don't forget to keep track of what we see by following us on Twitter http://twitter.com/larmoire_style and becoming a fan of our Facebook page http://on.fb.me/fK9jLq

Spring in to Spring!
We love a new season here at L'Armoire..., especially spring. And what better way to put a spring in your step than the first addition to your new season wardrobe of true feminine fashion in a collection of romantic colours that include mushroom, blush, nude and clay teamed with all tones of soft khaki. The 70's are back with avengance, giving us draped jersey maxi dresses that are totally wearable right now and then later in high summer with the switch of accessories (minus a couple of layers!).
Fresh in are goodies from Day and Malene Birger to get us started.
Day's skinny cargo pants are the answer to your 'tired of denim' dilemma, but still want an on trend hard working wardrobe staple. These are the most flattering cargo's around with carefully place side pockets slimming thighs before our very eyes! Team with cuban heeled sued ankle boots now, and pumps or toe posts when weather warms up.
This khaki 'Andina' maxi dress from Malene Birger, can be worn straight away with a long sleeve basic underneath, a denim jacket and scarf. Add a pair of our Falke tights for warmth with flat biker or pirate boots.The dress will double up in summer worn as seen with Malene Birger's skinny caramel leather wrap belt, grecian sandals or with the new block heel straight off the catwalks, giving your outfit that 70's vibe.
An over sized blazer brings a little structure to many outfits in a totally effortless way. With a collar turned here and a sleeve rolled there, Malene Birger's black boyfriend style has a light pinstripe lining that peeks out on the cuffs and stops the jacket from looking too overdone. Wear now over fine knits and layers of tee's knotting a cashmere scarf for warmth around the neck. Wear for spring/summer as an evening cover up over your favourite cocktail dress. Elle McPherson is rarely seen without hers!
We suggest you go and see The King's Speech at the cinema (if you haven't already). As well as being a fantastic film starring the dreamy Colin Firth (now an Oscar nominee), we get a small yet delightful glimpse of the infamous Wallis Simpson's wardrobe. Known for her chic and glamorous style during the 1930's and 1940's, we're sure there will be a nod to her fashion influence to come very soon. So take note from us first and invest in vintage beads, statement brooches, tassel necklaces (to be worn back to front with a backless dress as seen in the film), and pearls.

A January Pick Me Up
Happy new year!!
I think we can safely say that January is not one of our favourite months. The winter blues kick in, and we are already looking ahead to spring. Well L'Armoire can still offer a much needed pick me up with some amazing sale bargains to make you feel very pleased with yourself indeed.
Owner Melissa offers her favourite smart sale buys that can bridge the gap between now and spring without a between season wardrobe disaster in sight.
Day Birger et Mikkelsen's light brown leather 'Loveworn' jacket was £310 and is now £230. This is a fantastic piece with endless wearability. It's cropped style means it is neat enough to fit underneath a winter coat or cardy right now and is great to team with a cashmere jumper and jeans. Take it right through into spring and even summer, cinching in next seasons soft jersey maxi dresses set to be a huge trend. It's cost per wear makes it such great value!
Malene Birger's classic LBD (little black dress) has plenty of va-va-voom for any smart or dressy occasion you have at anytime of the year. The dress was £225 and is now £158. You can't go wrong with this simple tailored piece for a sassy evening cocktail look. It makes a smart investment and will no doubt become one of your wardrobe staples. Glam it up with a great piece of statement jewellery for night or wear just as easily played down for a summer smart work dress paired with a cream structured jacket.
Adding a little metallic to your look right now will cheer up a dreary winter outfit. A flash of this Day, night blue and silver lurex scarf will add warmth and style in one carefully styled knot and twist. It's size means it will also be great to use in high summer as a evening shawl or a chic cover up on the beach.

Christmas Countdown...
Hi all,
Christmas is only two weeks away and if your like us, amongst all the 'what to get who?' whirling round in our heads we've are focusing our minds on most importantly 'what to where on Christmas day?'. We always like to feel like we are wearing something special, so our main requirements are looking stylish, yet feeling comfortable (after all the mulled wine and mince pies) without looking too over done.
Here are three great outfits that tick all the boxes;
Day Birger et Mikkelsen's taupe brown 'velvet classic' dress gives a bit of luxury with its pleated velvet detail. It's pretty silk trim on the cuffs and hem add an extra touch of romance. We suggest adding one of Day's crystal bead necklaces to finish the look.
American Vintage's black wool jumper dress fits your form without feeling too body con. Wear over a pair of our Falke black opaque tights or their 100 denier smooth leggings. Dress the look up with Day's black and gold embellished wool and alpaca 'malou' cardigan. These two pieces can be utilised with a multitude of different outfits after.
Channel one of this seasons prints with Day Birger et Mikkelsen's 'paisley silk tunic. We love the stud detail around the neckline giving it an edge. Add warmth by throwing American Vintage's cosy ink boyfriend cardy over the top. Made from the softest angora it will keep you looking totally effortless.
As well as all the fabulous clothing, L'Armoire also has a great range of gifts if your stuck for ideas.
1. If your feeling generous, this Liberty of London gorgeous dark grey wool and silk 'Ianthe' print scarf (£235) will make any girl happy with its understated elegance. It will be kept for a lifetime!
2. If its for someone special, one of Liberty's beautiful leather diaries or notebooks (£45-£50) will keep the recipient organised in the new year with style.
3. If your on a budget a gift that never fails to please is a sumptuous scented candle. Liberty's 'Citrus Amara' candle combines verbena, rosewood, amber and neroli to create a truly beautiful scent (£35).
Recognising the most influential people in the fashion world today the British Fashion awards took place in London this week on Tuesday 7th December at the glamorous Savoy Hotel and Theatre. We wish we could say we attended but sadly not. Follow this link http://www.britishfashionawards.com/ and check out the winners this year. We think Phoebe Philo was a truly deserving recipient of the Designer of the Year award creating a whole new direction for fashion with her minimal chic tailoring at the french fashion house Celine.
See you soon xx

Christmas is only two weeks away and if your like us, amongst all the 'what to get who?' whirling round in our heads we've are focusing our minds on most importantly 'what to where on Christmas day?'. We always like to feel like we are wearing something special, so our main requirements are looking stylish, yet feeling comfortable (after all the mulled wine and mince pies) without looking too over done.

Party Girl!
Hi all,
If the look you crave is sleek, laid back and bang on trend we suggest this Kate Moss inspired outfit. It will never fail to be envied! L'Armoire has re-created the look with Day Birger et Mikkelsens Black leather trousers. One of American Vintage's cool grey soft tee's. A Malene Birger silver disc 'Tilian' necklace. Malene Birger's black tuxedo 'Ebbony' jacket. And to finish off, add a festive splash of colour with Liberty's raspberry leather 'Ianthe' clutch bag.
Chanel's Karl Largerfeld's muses have got it spot on nipping in their looks with a great cropped jacket or cardy.
We love the full on sparkle Diane Kruger has gone for, but if that's too much, we suggest you go for Malene Birger's sequin cropped 'Whizan' cardy layered over a Day pleated chiffon dress.
Re-create Keira Knightley's look with our Malene Birger little black 'Flammea' dress. Nip it in with Malene Birger's cropped 'Thynia' knitted jacket, with once again a touch of sparkle on the shoulders. Party on girls!!
We have had the perrrrrrfect cosy winter knit in this week from American Vintage just in time for this ice cold weather. We can't think of a better way to wear it than with a pair of leggings, sheepskin boots and AV's winter blush cashmere scarf. We're telling you, it's so warm, you won't ever want to take it off!
Make YourChristmas Wish List at L'Armoire!
You can now subtly tell your partner, family and friends that here at L'Armoire we are making it easy for them to get you the perfect gift for Christmas. Our Christmas wish list will ensure you get exactly what you want. It's genius, as all you need to do is pop in, find what you love and wish for in the right size and colour and just make out your list. We will keep it on record ready for your loved one to pop in and choose something (or if your lucky everything) on your list.
Just to let you know we will be open tomorrow Sunday 28th November 11-4pm! Come to Cowbridge to see the reindeer parade a 12pm and take advantage of our Sunday opening with a spot of retail therapy or be good and start your Christmas shopping here at L'Armoire.
P.S. Our style crush at the moment is Emma Watson. She is stylish beyond her years, and always looks totally chic. Our favourite look was her appearance at the latest harry potter premier in London. We are loving her new pixie crop too!

Well, party season is upon us and if your looking for the perfect outfit, we're sure we can fit your ideals here at L'Armoire.
If it's a more sophisticated, simplistic look that your after but still want a touch sparkle take note from Olivia Palermo and go for a little shoulder action. Choose Day Birger et Mikkelsen's 'Bead in my Eyes' black cashmere blend jumper dress with embellished shoulder detail. Team with Falke black pure matt 50 opaque tights, or for a more edgy look, team with Malene Birger's black satin ankle length cigarette evening 'Imala' pants.
