#FiorelliTravels: Brand Manager Sue Heads to Barcelona!

Last week, our Brand Manager Sue Tebbitts seized the opportunity of a long bank holiday weekend and headed over to the beautiful Barcelona for a couple of days, with some of your Fiorelli favourites in tow! Opting for the Kenzie tote in Summer Mix as to explore during the day, and switching to the Dixie Clutch (with optional shoulder strap) in Limeade for the evenings, she just couldn't wait to share her #FiorelliTravels with you!

Barcelona is the ultimate destination for the culture vulture, and has so many must see sights that you'll be spoilt for choice! No visit to Barcelona is complete without a trip to see the amazing Gaudi designed La Pedera, and our roomy Kenzie tote was the perfect sightseeing companion with plenty of space for all of our essentials. Kenzie bag selfie anyone?! 

Barcelona is also home to Europe's largest football stadium Camp Nou, home to FC Barcelona, and it seats up to 100, 000 people! It's definitely worth a visit if you're a football fan, or if not, it's just amazing to go along and see how big it is.

Like in all cities, there are always several opportunities to go up high and view its great landscape and architecture from a height. The above was taken from the comfort of a cable car that offered amazing views of Barcelona. 

Sampling the local cuisine is always a must too, and Barcelona boasts some of the best tapas bars in the world, and it's safe to say that you also have to eat your fair share of delicious Iberico ham whilst here! We also stumbled upon a rather unexpected sweet haven in the Las Ramblas area with rows and rows of every kind of sweet imaginable. Heaven! 

As the day dawns, the Dixie clutch replaces the Kenzie tote and brightens up the Place de Catalunya with its bright limeade hue! Some of the cities most important streets meet at this point, and it's full of lots of cafés and restaurants to choose from.

Bank Holiday Beauty

The Easter bank holiday is almost upon us and what better time to relax and pamper yourself! Here at Fiorelli HQ, we have several beauty favourites we wanted to share with you for the weekend ahead!

Body
Start your Bank Holiday with a long, hot bath to unwind from the week and feel refreshed for the weekend ahead with Shiffa's 1001 Roses Luxury Milk Bath: this 100% organic bath milk contains the most luxurious ingredients: Rosa Centifolia and Rosa Damask, vitamin-rich aloe vera, mineral-rich sea salt, natural clays and jasmine for ultimate peace and tranquillity.

Nails
Get Spring ready, with Easter pastels and brights on your fingers and toes as seen at Burberry Prorsum, Fausto Puglisi, Gareth Pugh and Just Cavalli. 

Hair
Here at Fiorelli HQ, we've been practising our hair braiding skills for Spring inspired by the catwalks at Rebecca Minkoff and Giles. On second day hair, texturise with some mousse and create a plait to suit your natural style, whether it's braids pinned up or a long loose side fishtail, make the style your own for the weekend.

Make Up
We've been keeping make up light for Spring, with a simple dusting of blusher or bronzer and light dusting of pastel eyeshadow and lipgloss applied to the lower lip.

Keep your Spring make up at hand in one of our stylish clutch bags like our Dixie in Summer Mix with Raffia detailing for perfect Spring/Summer style.

Paris Fashion Week Report

If you're anything like us you've been glued to the style pages for the last four weeks with fashion month. This week Fiorelli HQ have been enjoying Paris Fashion Week and we couldn't help but take notice of some on trend looks in our very own collection.

The Cut Out

We saw this beautiful laser cut cape by Hunger Games dress designer, Tex Saverio in his sumptuous collection of black and gold pieces. Partnered with a bold statement headpiece, we can't help but love this over the top look.

For a more wearable look, the gorgeous geometry cut out is ever so similar to our black and gold Paris tote, stylish and spacious for every day use.

The Neon Pop

The Rochas show had countless oversized pieces from jackets to dresses, in muted colours for A/W 14. Who doesn't love layering on the pieces in the colder months and throwing a vintage coat over the top. The final flourish was an unexpected pop of colour with bright gloves in orange and yellow.

We couldn't help but think of our Dixie clutch in our favourite Summer colour: Limeade. The Dixie will take you right through to next year with its bold hue taking centre stage. Why not partner it with a tan jacket or plum dress for an on trend look. 

Leopard Love

At the Carven show, there were some beautiful cartoon inspired pieces alongside bright coats and dresses with a hint of leopard on collars and cuffs. A simple embellishment which makes for a real style statement for Autumn/Winter '14.

Leopard print has been a strong theme across our Spring/Summer collections and we love how easy it is to style these up with any outfit from bright jumpsuits to a chic black suit.
