Hello ladies!

In conjunction with our fashion show at Jesmond Dene House and with Mother’s day at the end of the month we thought it would be the perfect time to offer one lucky lady the chance to win a £500 Love Niche Makeover! The Makeover will include a 1 to 1 styling session with our very own stylist and designer Nisha Vedhara. She will help you to understand your body shape and skin tone, so you will know which seasonal shapes and colours will suit you best. Nisha will guide you in defining your own personal style and you will be gifted with an outfit of your choice, including accessories to match as part of your prize!

All you have to do to enter the competition is share our post on facebook and comment on it with the name of the person who you would like to nominate – whether it is your fabulous mum or relative, or even as a treat to yourself!

Winner will be chosen at random on Friday 28th March!

To claim the prize, the winner needs to be available for their makeover between Saturday 29th March-Tuesday 1st April and be willing to participate in an event taking place Wednesday 2nd April at Jesmond Dene House.

Love Niche top picks this Christmas.

 Hello everyone! We are now in December (eek!) which means that Christmas is only a couple of weeks away! On every gorgeous ladies Christmas list this year, should be something from Love Niche! So we have pulled together another post with our current top 5 picks from the studio for under £100!

To start us off we thought we would go all out and show you our favourite festive bling! These gorgeous teardrop earrings are silver, encrusted with stunning crystals, the center emerald stone is so gorgeous and they will suit every skin tone! Team with your festive LBD and you will be turning heads all night long. At only £75 we think you will agree with us, that these are a bargain! We only have 1 pair available as they are one of a kind. photo 1 (16)Next up is a piece of jewellery which is a lot more muted than the bling earrings above, but no less special. Our reindeer necklaces always catch every clients attention when they come into the studio, they can be worn with either a casual outfit or can be dressed up, they are very versatile. The one pictured is brushed silver, but we do have a brushed gold one available too. At £40 these necklaces are a festive steal! photo 2 (18)Everyone needs a new clutch for over the holidays, this black bag with over-sized gold studs is ideal! It’s large enough to be worn through the day if you are going out for lunch, but is also perfect for an evening of cocktails with girlfriends! The hand strap is very unique and looks amazing, you can either use it as a clutch or you can use the thick gold chain to be hands free (or you could use both!), whichever way you decide it will look gorgeous! photo 3 (12)photo 5 (4)photo 4 (9)These blouses are new into the studio, we have 2 colours available, all black or monochrome. We love them! They have a knitted back and arms which is made from the softest wool, with a contrasting front. Again they are very versatile and could easily be dressed up or down, we love them teamed with killer jeans and a chunky heels, simple yet chic. At only £65 you will find you can wear them over and over again and be able to create so many looks with them, we would even go as far to say they will become a staple in your wardrobe! The perfect gift this christmas. photo 1 (17)photo 2 (19)Last but by no means least we have some gorgeous scarves in the studio. These scarves are made from the softest wool and feel gorgeous on your skin. They are delicately embroidered and embellished to make them all very unique and eye catching. They are great for adding colour into your outfits, as well as keeping you warm! At £95 they will last you a lifetime and are definitely statement pieces, a fabulous gift this Christmas. photo 3 (13)photo 5 (5)

OOTD; Classic Cobalt

Image (11)Some days all you want to do is wear leggings…this doesn’t mean that style has to be sacrificed! Who said that comfort and style can’t be mixed?!

Nisha has teamed her leggings with a simple long black vest and one of the new style Love Niche studio cobalt loose blouses. These blouses are so gorgeous for every season, they are light enough for summer and can be layered in the colder autumn/winter months. They have a popper button so you can wear them open or closed and have a dipped hem. In this look Nisha has styled hers with some simple black mesh stiletto heels and gold jewellery (reindeer necklace available from Love Niche)

Blouse also available in cream as shown here in one of our previous OOTD posts.

How do you style your leggings?

This weeks styling tip.

photo 2 (34)The pastel trend has been big all year, so Autumn/Winter is no exception, except you swap your pastel cami tops for chunky knit pastel jumpers and your short shorts for thick woolen tights.

Every season we create mood boards to help us focus on the trends of the moment, so to help inspire you too here is one of our mood boards for the pastel trend!photo 1 (32)We have decided to show you some of our pastel outfits which are our in the studio at the moment , two day outfits by Love Niche and two evening outfits which are Niche by Nisha Vedhara.

First up is a look using one of our favourite fur gilets! A tip would be when wearing pastels its good to use another bold colour to break up the look to stop it from being too washed out, if you wear pastels wrong they can drain you! So we have layered the gilet over the long sleeved plum top, by keeping it in the same color family we have added extra warmth to this look. Wearing white trousers with this outfit keeps it looking light and fresh, you could also wear another colour but try to avoid black as it would darken this look too much. photo 3 (26)photo 2 (35)Our second day look is more of an autumn look, with a simple pastel jumper with some gorgeous bead work across the shoulders. To keep the autumnal chill away we would suggest styling with a scarf which is again in the same colour family. This scarf is one of our favourites as it has beautiful golden shimmer lace detail. We think this is the perfect outfit for a “ladies who lunch” or afternoon tea date. photo 5 (14)photo 4 (22)Our first evening look is one from the Niche by Nisha Vedhara collection. The perfect dress for aumtumn/winter. With the long sleeves, the layered top that gives off 1920’s vibe, we are in love with this dress! The golden lace shimmer top adds that extra wow factor. Paired with the gold clutch with oversized jewels, a killer heel and you’re set for the night. This is the ultimate christmas dress! photo 3 (27)photo 4 (23)Our final look, which was part of our fashion show earlier this year, is another Niche By Nisha Vedhara dress. This dress is ideal for the festive period, with swarovski crystals, satin bow and lace sleeves, how can you not love this dress?! The beautiful model Lucy wore hers with red stiletto heels for a pop of colour.

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!

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.
