Sunny St Tropez

The Danish brand St Tropez proves time and again to be a firm favorite with Spirit customers, and with just a glance at the collection for summer 2011 it's easy to see why! Ultra feminine chiffon beaded dresses, softly draping silky trousers and funky tops (check out the tunic with embroidered angels wings!) in khakis, pinks and taupes sit alongside studded vest tops and fabulously fitted t shirts in mouth watering colours. Uber cool black and white photo imagery of an American Indian on horseback is printed on a fine vest, tailor made for layering throughout the summer months. St Tropez pieces are always bang on trend, super stylish and extremely competitively priced - the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe!

James Lakeland

The problem of what to wear to that summer cocktail party,  lunch date, or smart wedding is solved with unmistakeable style by James Lakeland!  Sophisticated and quirky tunics and drape neck tops take the wearer from day to evening with inimitable Italian style, while James' signature tailoring can be seen everywhere in the spring/summer 2011 collection.  The fantastically flattering cut of a navy or fuschia sleeveless dress and bolero, and the waist cinching stop-the-traffic red wrap dress are just two of the many stand out dresses from the range.  Crystal clear colours and deceptively simple lines serve to emphasise an ultra feminine silhouette guaranteed to make every woman feel fabulous!
 

James Lakeland is exclusive to Bradford on Avon

Gustav

The inaugural appearance of Danish designer brand Gustav has been met with delight amongst Spirit customers, who love the beautiful silk and jersey combinations found in this seasons collection! Totally individual, the muted colours of soft khakis, greys and creamy whites are the perfect palette to showcase ultra feminine tops teamed with funky ruched crop leggings. Exquisitely embroidered necklines on simple tunics; quirky and oh so cool fitted combat trousers and layers of fine chiffon silk in intricately designed strappy summer dresses all add up to a look that is super feminine, flattering and truly original.

Ronen Chen

  

The internationally acclaimed designer Ronen Chen offers ultra stylish, ultra comfortable clothes for women who wish to stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons!  This season soft separates are key, and are found in the dip dye soft greens of the Oasis collection and the bitter chocolate/grey lace and ice blue Memories collection, with its tunics, crop cardigans and supremely flattering drape tops.  All pieces can be mixed and matched, from the beautiful Palazzo pants to the soft jersey long line tie cardi/jackets.  Discover Ronen Chen and discover the art of effortless, timeless sophistication. 

Isabel de Pedro - Atelier

An explosion of flowers and a witty celebration of the art of the dressmakers studio are the two themes found running through Isabel de Pedro's breathtaking spring/summer collection.

An exciting palette of vivid blues, crimsons and chartreuse are something of a departure for the Spanish designer, with prints ranging from impressionist poppies to delicate floral sprigs.
The style is pure Isabel, draping around the body, cinching the waist and always flattering the female form.
A turquoise knee length dress with more than a hint of forties glamour sits alongside a figure hugging black lycra dress with the 'pattern' cut on the outside. A tape measure is wrapped around the body of a jersey dress while the needles and threads of the dressmakers studio can be seen in an abstract chiffon print over an easy summer piece.
Timeless classics with a twist are found in the hourglass silhouette of the super glam black cocktail dress and the gentle swing of the artfully cut full length jersey skirt with silk panel inserts.
Isabel de Pedro's new collection is sometimes quirky, often witty and truly original. It is also designed for real women and is very, very beautiful.

Available in Marlborough and Bradford on Avon.

Sandwich This Season...

The new Sandwich collection has arrived in Spirit, bringing in a beautiful spring palette of lavender, blue, grey and green - all to help you say goodbye to the bitter winter days! The beauty of Sandwich is always its innate wearability, and once again the brand succeeds in combining beautifully comfortable layered tops, tunics and leggings with a real sense of style.
A tunic dress with ruched hem teamed with a wide soft cotton scarf, leggings and pumps is perfect for the school run, lunch with the girls or a shopping trip - the pieces are layered, the feeling is relaxed and the look is stunning! A fluid lavender waterfall cardigan in the softest jersey is perfect for slipping on over a t shirt, and come the warmer days the pale yellow, green and grey abstract prints in fine cotton tops and cardigans are ideal teamed with jeans or cotton trousers for effortless weekend sophistication!

New In...Desigual

One of the most succesful brands to come out of Spain in recent years is Desigual, their instantly recognizeable pieces synonymous with splashes of vivid colour, wild patterns and asymetric cuts.
This season's collection has hothouse flower prints in reds, purples and greens on flirty fitted sleeveless tunic dresses and silvery fish scales in soft blues on an on so cool vest top. The pieces are perfect for balmy summer days but look uber funky layered up now with simple long sleeved tops, on the off chance the temperatures aren't quite continental!

Think Locally - Champion of Independents

The CEO of Think Locally books says "As our high streets are becoming ever-more cloned by the big retail giants, it's even more important that we support our local indies - they keep the places we live in unique and can help to bring our communities together."

They are starting an Indie Revolution and want everyone to get involved so they created a very simple 5 point manifesto...

1. Support you local indepenents. Think before you go into a big chain and ask yourself is there an indie alternative nearby?
2. Seek out and try to visit a new indie at least once a week.
3. Tell your independent business owners when they are doing a good job...and when they are not!
4. Go to markets, farm shops and cooperatives.
5. Tell your friends about your favourite indies and get them to visit!

What a bargain!
