J.Crew for fall 2013 and a London pop up shop with women’s, mens and kids cashmere to buy.

Posted on May 23, 2013 by smudgetikka

Set in the coolest spot in Kings Cross just round the side of Central St Martins art school is the temporary J.Crew pop up shop which is open the 24th and 25th May to the public.

Selling current cashmere collections for kids as well as adults and cool fashion books there is also a selection of beaded and decorated one off individual unique collars on sale. The shop is previewing the fall J.Crew fashion ranges which can be pre-ordered by the public.

I had a sneak preview today and the whole store looks amazing, the fall 2013 collections are a riot of mixtures of pattern and texture with fantastic glittery accessories in girlswear and womenswear and the boys have a neat camouflage summer shorts suit for sale and for fall there is a fabulous muted plaid tailored tux suit and strong coloured chino pants.

M&S have got themselves a brilliant kids fashion collection for fall 2013

Posted on May 16, 2013 by smudgetikka

We knew there was a new design element coming to the Marks and Spencer kids fashion collection in line with all the changes to the adults and the new team at M&S have pulled off a brilliant first seasons children’s collection.

All the trend elements from the designer brands are represented with brocade fabrics, vibrant colour blocking, geometric prints and woodland themes present. The price point has not changed from last season so it is all reasonably accessible.

The change in the babies selection is stunning, with beautiful soft pinks and caramels tones or vivid splash prints replacing the lurid pink embroidered items of recent seasons.

Readers will have to wait till July for the new fall styles to filter in but keep an eye out as the best items are sure to sell out in superquick time.

Habitat rolls out into Homebase, winter 2013 sneak preview of this newly accessible collection.

Posted on May 14, 2013 by smudgetikka

Homebase showed off its new collection for winter 2013 last week with a romp through the homes of Sherlock Holmes and the Mad Hatters tea party.

One of the key elements of the new collections is a huge range of new wallpapers with monochromatic oriental prints and graphic fake bookshelves prints amongst the most striking.

Habitat will have a section devoted to itself in the store and the name ranges look pretty sharp under new director Polly Dickens. In mustard, Yves Klein blue and pillarbox red mixed with grey tones the designs are graphic and striking for the winter season ahead.

Poppy England new storybook dresses for fall/winter 2013, kids fun in a chocolate factory

Posted on May 10, 2013 by smudgetikka

Poppy England have been much copied of late with their retro conversational border print dresses for girls and women popping up in various guises at most of the High St retailers.

In answer to this the new fall 2013 collection sees a change of styling with allover prints replacing the simple borders but the main design elements remain, each season has a little storybook to go with each dress and this time the tale is all about Poppy and Fred’s chocolate shop.

The shoot is quite whacky and wild set in its own chocolate world!
