Desk to Dinner

You have an office job? You’re going out for dinner & drinks straight after work? Take your work clothing from that dull desk to the fabulous resturant where you’re having dinner that same evening. All you have to do is dress up your outfit with glam accessories and sproose yourself up with a touch of lipstick! It’s not all about taking a huge hand bag to work and having it overflowing with a whole new outfit – just take in the usual, makeup bag, hair brush, perfume and a little bag of jewellery.

By doing all of this, it will make your hand bag lighter and your life easier! By wearing a pencil skirt and a blouse for work you’ll look super cute for dinner that evening! Dress your work outfit up with a stunning pair of louboutins and a LOVE Mochino hand held bag.

There are some ideas in the posts below of how you can dress your work outfits to be glamourous and fabulous without rushing home and having limited time to get ready.

Hot Fest Fashion Trends

Festivals are a great time for letting your hair loose and wavy and dressing casual but chic! Here are our top 3 favourite festival trends, and also a few tips to take you from Glastonbury to Gorgeous weekend wear .

1. Crochet and lace appliqué

When Miu Miu, Chloe and House of Holland put crochet on the catwalk, we admit we were a bit concerned. It is not such an easy trend to pull of so here is what we think you should pair it with. Crochet works as a festival staple, style with, crops tops with high-waisted denim shorts, mini dresses with scuffed boots; crochet skirts with denim shirts.

2. Fringing

This season is all about the fringe, from crop tops and skirts to bags and boots. Everywhere you look, you’ll find tassels, including lightweight suede jackets, tassels attached to the staple denim short and leather fringed skirts. Fringing is always a good look for festivals but can be worn for an everyday casual look by adding a fringed leather bag to your outfit.

3. Refreshed Denim

While most girls keep a few pairs of denim shorts around, this season we’re finding that denim’s taking a new form and we are sure you will love it. You’ll see plenty of denim rompers and playsuits on the high street, shift dresses, jumpsuits and overalls, so team them with a floral kimono or statement bomber jacket for the ultimate festival fashion look . Denim skirts are also back this season which can be worn for an everyday look with a simple tee, leather jacket and ankle boots.

Bespoke Bridesmaids

We are so excited to share some of the beautiful pictures of our Bespoke Bridesmaid dresses from one of our clients Big Day. Jordan came to the studio in November to discuss all her exciting ideas which she had for her bridesmaids, she wanted a sleek and sophisticated silhouette. Her initial inspiration and ideas were based around a picture she had recently come across in a bridal magazine. Often for the first consultation for bespoke garments, most clients like Jordan have a vision in mind of what they want or they choose from our selection of sample dresses to gather inspiration from. We then tweak them to suit the body shapes and style. We then start to put the ideas and inspirations in place through our sketches, colour swatches, embroidery samples etc which help kickstart the design process. Fabric, colours and embroidery were all picked next from vast amounts of samples which we have to offer. The final bridesmaid dresses was based upon the silhouette of one of our existing samples dresses which we have present in the studio. The colour scheme was a soft blush pink, which compliments the feminine silhouette and fabric type. The main body of the dresses were made of a soft lycra fabric whilst a delicate chiffon was layered over the top starting at the waist band. The most detailed part of the dresses were the intricate embroidery which was situated along the neckline of each dress and giving all over coverage to the open back design. Once a sample of the bridesmaid dress had been created each of the 5 girls were able to try it on and gives us a chance to made alterations and changes to the dress, but this  process was helped with complimentary champagne and strawberries from the studio. We would like to thank the beautiful bride Jordan for sharing her pictures with us of her spectacular wedding day: 11419759_10155643925445481_1828351449_n 11350180_10155643930450481_596663127_n 11124206_10155643923905481_761905243_n bridesmaid3 bridesmaid2 bridesmaid1 Don’t forget if you want to speak to us about Bespoke dresses and how we can help create your dream dress, then book your own consultation by ringing us on, 0191 2611515, or email the studio for an appointment: info@love-niche.com

4. Cut Out Gowns

Cut-outs add a cool, flirty touch to a simple gown, while really showing off your curves. When choosing cut-out dresses it is important to remember that cut-outs should only be present in one area of your gown, such as the neckline or sides to keep the look classy.

Living North Christmas Fair, Love Niche, Ladies fashion, Womenswear

We posted on our Twitter and Facebook offering tickets for the Living North Fair which was held at Newcastle Racecourse at the beginning of the month and we received so much interest. Even so we were amazed at the amount of lovely people who visited our stall at the 4 daylong Christmas event. Especially given how frantically we were rushing around to get our stall looking as gorgeous as possible.

ikea, lights,

With a quick pit stop to Ikea to buy decorations for our stand to make it look as gorgeous as possible we were all ready to go. Our hard work paid off as we received so many compliments on our stands appearance, most people asking us where are lights were from, so we let them in on our little secret.

IMG_0403

As well as our gorgeous lighting, our customer’s absolutely loved the Studio Collection, which was flying off the rails. Our most popular items from both the Studio Collection and Love Niche London diffusion line had to be our gorgeous fur trimmed poncho, perfect for keeping warm this winter. Our fur collar was also very popular amongst buyers, the perfect addition to a winter wardrobe. Ideal to throw over a coat, a top or even wear with an evening dress.
