P is for Prada

Who wants some New Year Designer bargains? Got some Prada to tempt you with today.

The Italian luxury fashion label Prada is famous all over the world for their lush fabrics and lux leather bags and sexy shoes. Founded in 1913 by Mario Prada, they specialised in leather goods, before branching out into fashion once Mario's daughter took over.
Her daughter Miuccia then expanded and raised Prada to be the fashion powerhouse we know today.
It was also due to Miuccia that Miu Miu (after her nickname) was launched for the younger consumers.

So on with the stuff we have in with the Prada label.
Some are recent seasons and some are past / vintage, but still great.

Trousers and jeans in red, white and green.
Skinny fit.
(a small) Size 10 (eur 38) each
£38 each

Tried to do an Italian Flag in Prada....

Finally these 'car' shoes are for sale for £40

Some markings on the toes, but these would come out in a good clean.

Grey Days vs Grey Outfit

So in these grey dull days we keep saying you need to wear colour and aim to make our windows bright, but sometimes a bit of grey (or white and black) is needed. Today we have dressed a dummy to prove this point in lush designer items.

The mix of 2 shades of grey (no 50 shades of grey, here thank you very much!) with a tie-in colour of blue creates a simple but (we think) a non boring look.

The top is a high neck collar job from Valentino. The Italian fashion designer has many lines, and this is from the Valentino ready to wear collection.
This dark grey jumper is 100% cashmere as therefore super soft and warm. We have had to put up high on the dummy to stop the urge to rub it all over our faces!! Sooooo soft!
£40
Size 10 (eur 38) with loooong sleeves, perfect to keep you cosy.

The blue belt and blue necklace breaking up the grey are both from Zara. The leather belt is £7.50 and the necklace is £4.

Finally, the wool cashmere mix skirt is by Acne. The Acne Studios is part of the creative collective Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) which was founded in Sweden.
The £68 skirt is in very good condition, but the lining has a small mark on it but it is not visible when worn. Again another small size 8/10 (eur 36/38), the slightly bell shape to it adds some oomph.

We suggest teaming it up with some dark grey knit tights and some long boots for that "So what if its winter, I am warm and look awesome" look.

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.
