Here are two of our favourite ‘summer coats’ from our Love Niche collection. First is our take on the classic Mac, its light and easy to put on over any outfit. The over-sized statement collar gives this coat an edgy twist. (Also available in black) 
Secondly we have this white linen jacket. Again it is light and easy to pop for a casual daytime look, the tie at the back pulls the jacket in to make it more flattering and fitted.

Wednesdays styling tip.
Before you can go and pick your perfect summer bikini you need to know your body shape. There are many categories that you can fit into but the main four are; Athletic, Straight, Pear and Curvy.
- Athletic – You tend to have broad shoulders, narrow hips and fairly muscular legs.
- Straight – You have few curves, your waist and hips are pretty much the exact same measurements.
- Pear – Your bottom half is wider and you are very petite on top with narrow shoulders.
- Curvy – You are an hourglass shape and are in proportion, with your shoulders and hips measuring the same with a smaller waist, creating the curves.
This emerald green bikini is ideal for an athletic figure, it will show off their perfectly toned torso and slight figure, yet creates a bust with the padded under-wire cups on the bikini top. The tassel detail sides on the bikini bottoms also make hips appear wider, giving the illusion of more curves. Pass on bandeau tops as they will squish you down and make you look too boyish, also avoid the boy shorts and shapeless tankinis! You’re lucky though as you can get away with bold printed bikinis!
If you are a straight shape then this yellow ruffled bikini would be ideal. The embellished ruffled bikini top fills out the bust area giving the impression of bigger boobs. The tie sides are also good for your shape giving the illusion of more curves. Avoid bandeau tops with no neck straps and boy shorts! You and athletic shapes can also carry off bold bright prints effortlessly!
If you are a pear shape, then you are one of the only shapes that can pull of the bandeau bikini top! The bandeau makes your bust look wider giving the impression that you are more hourglass than pear. The detailing on this bikini draws your eye up towards your bust and away from your wider hips. The solid colour minimizes your bigger bottom half and slims you down. When buying your bikini make sure you don’t buy bottoms with a bold print, try and keep to solid colours.
The high waisted bikini is the original pinup style, and has be reinvented for 2013 with lots of styles available. The pinup style is hourglass, and a high waisted bikini accentuates the curves of an hourglass figure. The high leg bottom gives you longer legs and the ruffles on this bottom will secure your stomach if that is a problem area. The bikini top is a simple bandeau halter neck which will secure your bust. But with an hourglass shape make sure you buy in solid colours or very small print otherwise it will distort your proportions!

Newcastle Fashion Week.
Well Newcastle Fashion Week is finally over, and what a fantastically hectic week it was in the House of Love Niche!! We have had an amazing time and met so many lovely people!
We kicked off Newcastle Fashion Week 2013 in style, by attending the official launch party at Mercedes Benz garage for the Cruise Clothing catwalk.
We were greeted with a glass of champagne on arrival and got the chance to look around the ‘bootiques’ and at the dreamy cars, including the official Newcastle Fashion Week Mercedes, before the show started. We were lucky enough to get front row seats for the catwalk, Cruise put on an amazing show, we fell in love with sooo many pieces that we just NEED to have! If you didn’t get to attend the launch or haven’t yet seen the pictures, these are the official photographs.
During the evening at Mercedes we got to sample some of the incredible cocktail creations by Livello bar, including our favourite the Marshmallow Martini (out of this world!) This gave us a taster of what was to come, as we then headed on to Livello’s for the after party in the exclusive members only area upstairs, the perfect end to an amazing launch!
Monday 13th May was the big event of the week for us, as it was the Fringe event for our much awaited launch for the new cruise/resort wear collection!! The entire day was such a whirlwind and flew by, with model fittings, goody bag packing, sorting and styling the looks, timing the walk…the list is endless, safe to say we had a crazy 13 hours!
When the clock struck 7 the doors were officially open at the Hood St Club and the guests started to pour in, we were in to the final hour countdown so we were all frantically trying to organise the last few details before showtime!
8’o clock and the models were lined up all looking amazing in their first looks and ready to go. The show lasted for 25 minutes and was split into 4 looks; First were looks from Love Niche- Monochrome, Second were Niche by Nisha Vedhara-Wedding, third and fourth were both the amazing kaftans by Niche by Nisha Vedhara.
Here are a few of our favourite looks from the night, and the link for the official photographs firstly by Lee Scullion and also Alex Alevroyiannis.
Also check out the lovely Alexandra’s post about her evening at the Launch!
This weeks styling tip.
As part of our new collection that has just landed in the house of Love Niche, we have some amazing crisp white shirts in some unique styles!
The first shirt is a fabulous cut and extremely flattering as it has a slight peplum to it so it hides those pesky love handles we all try so desperately to cover! 
The shirt below is a very unusual design, but gorgeous at the same time! It has a very feminine feel to it and we LOVE that about it! We would team this shirt with some skinny fitted jeans, a heel and some colourful accessories! A fresh white shirt and jeans is always a winning combo ladies! 
Here is a mannequin from the Love Niche Studio, looking very glam, this look would be perfect for late afternoon cocktails with girlfriends! This is how we would style a shirt for an evening, adding a bright pop of colour with accessories.

They are such versatile pieces when it comes to styling and could be worn for nearly every occasion; through the day with a basic pair of jeans and a shirt or even for an event wearing a simple chic black dress, just add the cuff to give off an edgy feel!
The outhouse necklaces are definitely statement pieces and we can’t get enough of them! We have decided to show you this gorgeous stone beaded necklace in the most gorgeous aqua blue with gold details, the perfect piece to be adding a pop of colour to any outfit this summer!
