Grazia Magazine - Nails Inc

The girls at Grazia love this shade claiming "it seems to neutralise any red or blue tones and make hands appear more polished." They also love the fact it was inspired by Patricia Field's colour palette in SATC 2 and Dior's A/W collection. 
We love these gift sets with the incredible One-Shade-Suits-All Nude Nail Polish and a dazzling Martine Wester cocktail ring. These lovelies are available in all four stores.
Too early to write your Christmas list? We think not!

Just a week ago...



Thursday 7th October saw one of the highlights of the fashion year in Wiltshire in the glamorous form of an Autumn fashion show, held in the grand surroundings of the Georgian Town Hall, Devizes. Organized by Rose Webster, owner and founder of the beautiful 'Spirit' boutiques, the capacity audience enjoyed champagne before being treated to a first half of bespoke evening and wedding dresses from Ceri Brooks, fabulous hats from Joan Pressley and gorgeous underwear from 'Mystique'. 

Following delicious canapes during the interval and several lucky audience members winning stunning silver jewellery from Fi Mehra during a round of 'Heads and Tails', the second half really highlighted why independant boutiques are so crucial to the fashion industry. Model after model from 'Cielo Blu' and 'Spirit' strutted onto the catwalk in a range of beautiful coats, casualwear, drop dead gorgeous designer looks and evening pieces all sharing one thing - the individuality that is often sadly lacking on the high street.

With proceeds from the evening going to The Spinal Bleeds Trust, the evening was a resounding success - the winter months ahead seem suddenly to offer a myriad of opportunities to look and feel fantastic!

Brilliant little bites..

The most asked question at the fashion show was..."Who made those gorgeous canapes?"

Delicious weren't they!? We were secretly chomping on them too.

Well, they were made (from scratch) by Rebecca and Sandra who both own fabulous catering companies.

You can find out more by visting Rebecca Green Catering and The Little Catering Company.
Bloomin' marvellous!

What fun we had...

Save The Queen



This season sees Save the Queen taking inspiration from some of Europe's most exciting capitals.  The Italian designer Elena Fantini has created her beautiful range using colours, scenes and patterns from life in cities such as Venice, Berlin and Istanbul and with her unnerring flair and style has produced astonishing fabrics and pieces that are both breathtakingly original and eminently wearable. 

Quirky Save the Queen touches that fans of this label hold so dear are very much in evidence - hand embroidery, ruching, show stopping additions such as the fabric necklace and the options of a soft scarf or a removable sleeve all ensure each piece is a total original. Many of the dresses can be worn alone or with leggings and will take a woman through a stylish lunchtime event to a funky night out. 

Very beautiful. 
Very Save the Queen.



Save the Queen is available in Bradford on Avon.

Not Your Daughters Jeans


One of our favourites!
Here they remind us why...
"Some people say that youth is wasted on the young. But age has its distinct advantages. You're a little wiser, a lot more confident and face it - sexier than ever. You're not a teenager anymore - you've been there and now you're past it, beyond it and happy to be exactly where and who you are. You wouldn't trade places with your daughter or trade clothes with her either. That's not your style. "Not Your Daughters Jeans" celebrates the beauty of women who know who they are and know that they don't need to impress anyone but themselves. Women like you.
Slip on a pair of "Not Your Daughters Jeans" and discover that comfort and style are not mutually exclusive. These are the jeans you wished for in the harsh light of the dressing room. The jeans you used to hope would magically appear in your closet. These are the jeans that will respect you in the morning, look good coming and going and make you proud of every single curve - maybe for the first time ever. Here's to our Lift Tuck technology that will make you look a full size smaller.
Here's to defying gravity with denim.
Here's to jeans that will never let you down.
Here's to NYDJ."


We stock NYDJ in both Devizes and Bradford on Avon

Great Plains



It's Autumn once again and Great Plains do not disappoint. This season they have three key areas for focus.
And they are...

Fabrics
Chunky cable knits are layered over fine jerseys and cottons. Luxurious wool and cashmere-blend coats lend warmth, while felts and tweeds add texture. Scalloped lace and satin give modern styles a vintage finish.

Silhouettes
Tulip skirts, puff shoulders and blouson sleeves create a curvy, feminine outline. Soft tailoring and draped knits are belted at the waist for an hourglass shape while ruffles and fringing give a smooth line an unexpected twist.

Prints
Watercolour florals in delectable raspberry and fuchsia mingle with contrasting charcoal greys. Bold abstract brushstrokes look fresh teamed with nautical stripes. Chocolate box purples and seaside greens and blues brighten dull days.



Great Plains is available in Devizes, Frome and Marlborough

Part Two



Joan of Arc and Elizabeth I.
A distant past with two rugged, sensitive and almost divine heroines, who were warriors and protectors at the same time. They wore armour and dresses, expressing masculine power with sensitivity and grace, while representing a strong form of womanhood full of intriguing contrasts. 

Part Two's 2010 autumn collection is a striking reflection of this contrasting image of womanhood. Design Manager Pernille Skriver's point of departure is a masculine uniform style with a slim silhouette and an emphasis on fascinating details.

The collection focuses on work clothes inspired by suits of armour from the past and a World War II military look with a range of functional details. The look is reflected in coated and metallic surfaces, leather and rivets, as well as heavy knits and canvas. Incorporated into this rugged look is a more delicate style featuring Victorian-inspired lace details, washed silk and beautiful botanical prints.  

Part Two - it begins with you...


Available in Devizes and Marlborough

Sandwich



This season, Sandwich focuses on a variety of modern knits with speciality stitching, draping necks and rich detailing.

Colours are dusty tones of brick red, stormy blues and sage green in combination with a neutral base of black, grey, sand, taupe and white.

Prints include graphic dots, checks, floral and leaf patterns, multi-hued hatching mixed together for a patchwork feeling, and prints inspired by urban scenery such as buildings, city lights and graphic face prints. 

The focus is on silhouettes rather than busy detailing, with long, oversized tunic tops or knee-length dresses over detailed leggings. Knit cardigans and pullovers include chunky cables, punto Milano, slub yarns and multi-colour yarns, while large cowl necks and fringe detailing give an elegant look.

Sandwich is a fantastic brand that has been with us since the doors of Spirit first opened.



Available in Devizes, Frome and Bradford On Avon.

DAY - From Riches To Rags




For Autumn/Winter 2010, the DAY woman inhabits a new, old world, rich in sumptuous, silk lined luxury, but full of bohemian quirks.

The opulence is inspired by Russian art and culture - sources as diverse as Cossack ornaments, unbelievable winter palace interiors and the costume sketches of Leon Bakst.

So a young pre-revolution Russian aristo goes boho. After all, who would dare tell her what she can and cannot do? She does as she pleases and pairs her billowing silks with the shrunken suit jacket of Charlie Chaplin's little tramp.
She mixes ethnic peasant embroideries with crisp, military tailoring, trims her clothes with fur and tassels of all descriptions, dresses up as an admiral and down as a tomboy.

Self-expression has never been this good.


DAY Birger et Mikkelsen is exclusive to Marlborough.

ICHI



ICHI's autumn collection has made no attempt to hide the heavy rock influence with chains, punk-style rivets, skulls and diamante jostling with graphic prints such as bleeding hearts, wings and stars. All these super-cool details bring out the raw and rebellious biker look.

The colour scheme is dominated by black, grey and dusky blue, set off by a touch of rouge red and lime.

Worn-look jeans keep true to the racy biker theme, emphasised by sleeveless, washed out tops, military and uniform details and high-rise shoulders.

This means an exciting Autumn lies in wait, expressing speed perfect for women with loads of confidence and an appetite for life.


This fabulous collection is available in Devizes, Frome, Marlborough and Bradford On Avon stores.

Saint Tropez



For Autumn, the themes for the Saint Tropez collection are "Military Roots" and "Twisted Poetry", with inspiration from military shapes and details such as double breasted jackets and knits, shoulder straps and military buttons with "code of arms" embossments.

On the feminine side they use embroidery, lace, beads and smock details, using these details in different ways to get a new and refreshing expression in the collection.

Black and grey tones are still going strong for this season but colours like army and brown are becoming more and more important. Various tones of purple and powder create a soft contrast to the neutral earth colours and gives a beautiful harmony throughout the collection.

We currently stock Saint Tropez in all four stores, holding some fantastic core pieces for your Autumn wardrobe. Don't miss out!
