The Infamous Cape

Happy Halloween! From Little Red Riding Hood to Wonder Woman, our long standing fascination with the cape continues. There's a lot to love about its glamour and of course the instant super hero empowerment that it gives us. This Season, your wardrobe will not be complete without one.

The Coat

A great way to incorporate the cape into your wardrobe is the coat. You can opt for the cropped or the full length style paired with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for a sophisticated evening look. 

If you're looking to make a bold statement why not wear head to toe in a warm autumnal tone.

The Poncho 

For a more subtle way of wearing the cape, opt for the classic poncho. Whether it's Spring, Autumn or Winter, the poncho makes a great addition to any wardrobe. Pair with jeans and boots this season for a casual on trend look.

However you choose to wear it this winter, embrace your inner superhero and make the cape a wardrobe staple.

Carnival Style | Dress To Survive

Each year Notting Hill carnival gives us an opportunity to celebrate the culture, food and music of the Caribbean right here in London. Not to mention the exciting mix of people and style. If you’re heading down to Notting Hill this year then here are some tips for surviving the chaos, staying comfortable and looking good.  

The key to having a great time is comfort, fabulously comfortable! Look good but feel better; hours of walking and dancing require meticulously planned outfits. Stay on trend with a pair of high waisted denim shorts, trainers and a brightly coloured kimono. Opt for this seasons must have in our gorgeous Lexi packpack available in two colours. Keep your valuables safe and hands free with a top zip closure, front and back pockets  and adjustable shoulder straps.  Alternatively, complete your look with our classic Tessa crossbody bag and have easy access to your money with its front purse like pocket. 

Now that you’re dressed for the occasion, remember to stay in groups or at least in a pair, and stay hydrated. Keep a bottle of water with you at all time and finally, let your hair down and have fun!

If hours of walking isn’t your thing, then swap your trainers for a pair of high heels and turn your daytime look into a night time carnival after-party ready outfit and complete your look with our Rose Frame Clutch.
