Red, White and Blue

So here we are - Just a bit too early for just red and white for Santa, so we added some navy to distract you from the fact that Christmas is coming! Still these colours always look great together and are always on trend at some point in the fashion calendar.

This is our Window Mark IV as every time we got around to finding an outfit, pieces were sold before they even hit the dummies!
So sadly you don't get to see the Gap cashmere jumper or the Topshop blue with red spots dress, or the Red boots! But don't think this is second best?! (Or forth best as it is...)
We always dress to impress and to catch the eye of everyone passing.

All rather patriotic...

So here we go from left to right...
Red H&M dress £10
Zara red frill top £4
Paul Smith cardigan £20
Topshop navy and white trim skirt £4
ASOS blue dress (New) £15
Spotty skirt (under dress) £3
White and cream J.Crew t shirt £6
Red jumper £5
Scarf £6  
Navy Hobbs trousers £8

Shoes from £5!

The copper pot is very funky, and is £30
Let it be, or fill with some loooooong stemmed floral/twigs for an interesting centre piece,

Various glass and wooden objects £2 - £15

Autumn Reds

October is here and the trees and chaging to red, and everything is getting more cosy. This outfit is for a lovely date with a HUGE hot chocolate, with marshmallows of course, and maybe some cake. (Always with cake!)

The floral top is shown to its best with this red skirt (but a purple, white, cream or brown skirt would also work. We did try it with a black skirt and it was just not right.) and this funky black belt.

Carolina Herrera is a Venezuelan-American fashion designer known for "exceptional personal style", and dressing First Ladies from Jacqueline Onassis to Michelle Obama.
So you can have her exceptional style from us as the top is from her past collections.
Size 12 (eur 40) and made from a silk cotton mix, its subtle florals in purple and cream.
£30
We really like the bow detail on the neckline.

The red pencil skirt shown here is from Alberta Ferretti. The Italian designer produces items with amazing feminine draping and tailoring, which, considering she is a daughter to a tailor we wouldn't have expected anything less!
This 100% silk skirt is lined in a silk mix.
Size 10 (eur 38).
There is a tiny tiny rip by the zip, but a handful of tiny stiches could fix that.
Sold as seen for £40

Finally the belt is from Topshop and is leather for £15.

(The shoes shown next to it are £14, size 8 (eur 41) but have been sold since taking the photo. Sorry about that. You have to be quick buying stuff here at Brook Green!)

The cost of the entire outfit...
£85.
2 designer pieces and a statement belt for about the cost of a M&S coat.
(although you might need that M&S coat if it starts raining. But why go there when we have various coats from £12 and you help Trinity Hospice?!)

Autumn Leaves

A new week and some new windows for you.

September has well and truely turned up now, bringing with it the cold, wet, gloomy weather. So we are trying to get bright colours in the window to cheer people up (and make them come in and spend lots of money of course!)
This week the changing colours of the trees and all the leaves have insipred this colour combination, along with the it being slightly clashy. Rich oranges and subtle greens. Love it. Autumn is our favourite time of year, simply for the awesome colours which mother nature brings out.
