Bloggers Style Fiorelli

We've had some fabulous bloggers styling the collection since our last update and we simply had to share these #FiorelliOOTW's featuring our Spring/Summer range!

The lovely xAmeliax styling the Kenzie Tote in Cosmetic pink for Spring/Summer '14 with a gorgeous printed kimono, pastels tones and with a statement necklace to finish the Summer look. 

The fabulous Tara from blogging duo, the Style Rawr, took the Perry Shoulder bag to Glastonbury and partnered it with classic nautical stripes, wellies and statement accessories for perfect festival style.

The gorgeous Natasha from Girl in the Lens shared this powder blue inspired outfit with the Perry Shoulder in Pale Sky with quilted detailing. We love the co-ordination of the serene blue tones and of course the beautiful backdrop too!

Styling the Mani Tote is the stunning Sabrina from A Little Obsessed, who is sharing some fabulous holiday snaps with her new Fiorelli across her Instagram channel. We love these neutral tones, with a hint at the metallic trend which we've heard is going to be strong for Autumn/Winter '14. 

Make sure to share your #FiorelliStyle with us across Twitter and Instagram, and share your #FiorelliOOTW's to feature on our Facebook album too!

Styling the Hobo Bag

With Summer truly upon us, we've been enjoying some warm weather outfits and have discovered that the Hobo is the perfect multi-styling bag shape!

For lunch with friends, we'd partner our Drew Hobo in tan with a ladylike tea dress and some flat embellished sandals for a style contrast. As you know - we've got a soft spot for accessories and would finish the look with a cuff bracelet and some sunglasses.

For work - our Alex Hobo in black is the perfect everyday style and now has 50% off in our sale too. We'd add it to an outfit of monochrome for timeless office chic. A shape skimming dress in grey tones is an investment piece for all seasons, as is a simple jacket with modern front zip. A classic pair of black court heels and delicate bracelet to finish the look.

Last but not least, is our favourite outfit style - the casual look. Pastels are staying strong through the Summer and our Serena Hobo (also now with 50% off) with textured detailing is statement piece. We keep the outfit simple with a pair of light jeans and t-shirt. Slip on some sandals and a petite bracelet for easy weekend style. For those chilly evenings - why not add a knit, like this slogan jumper.

Trend: Summer Nauticals

The nautical trend was seen across the resort catwalks at Chloé, Chanel and Rachel Zoe for 2014. It's a timeless trend which works with a multitude of outfits - in our eyes you simply can't go wrong with navy and white, along with some stripes!

With a nod to the trend, we've created some nautical inspired pieces for Spring/Summer 14. Our Francesca Shoulder Bag, is a classic with tan double handles and a cream and navy surround. For a cross body option, our Perry Shoulder mixes tan and navy with a quirky striped detachable purse and striped interior.

Prefer a one-tone nautical feel? Choose our Harper Mini in Patent Navy for perfect day to evening style, with optional shoulder strap.  Or how about our bright white Harper Purse, with a navy striped interior - it's a gorgeous statement piece. These would be perfect paired with sailor-style pieces as seen at Caroline Herrera.

As you can tell, we're real fans of the Nautical trend here at Fiorelli HQ! How are you styling navy and white for the Summer? Let us know by leaving a comment below or by sending us your #FiorelliStyle shots on Twitter and Instagram.

Choosing the Perfect Purse

Picking the perfect purse is potentially precarious for even the most savvy purveyor of fashion. Alliteration aside, making sure you’ve matched your purse with your outfit is key to any Spring/Summer look. 

Whether you’re colour blocking with the rest of your accessories or going for the subtle monochrome look, it can make or break any outfit. Fortunately, we have the solution for every conceivable combination.

Harper Large Dropdown Purse

With the sun starting to make an appearance, there’s never been a better time to bring out the (faux) animal skin with our Harper Dropdown Purse. Perfect for taking on a night out or just relaxing in the park with friends, the Harper adds some texture to your outfit without being too loud about it.

An essential summer companion with full zip around detail, this elegant piece makes a statement wherever it goes.

Adele Large Purse

In a world always looking for the new black, we’re quite happy with the original. The Adele purse is a blend of classic style with modern design making it the ideal everyday purse.

A suitable addition to any outfit the Adele will work with anything you throw at it - making it not just a smart decision but a staple inclusion to any handbag.

Neema Medium Trifold Purse

This summer, it's all about colour blocking and what better way to show off your style than with our Neema Trifold Purse. Perfect for making a statement this summer, the Neema is available in Navy & Red or Cobalt & Ice for any outfits you may have planned. 

However you plan to style your Summer wardrobe, we’ve got something to suit. What do you look for when buying a new purse? Let us know on Twitter @Fiorelli_Bags or by leaving us a comment below.

Handbag Beauty Essentials

Here at Fiorelli HQ, we're often discussing our beauty favourites and thought we would put them in a blog post for you lovely readers!

At the top of list is Jurlique's Moisturising Hand Sanitiser, the Australian natural beauty range's star handbag product in our eyes! Unlike other Hand Sanitisers, it contains no harmful chemicals and contain organic moisturisers to keep hands both clean and soft!

Our next handbag must-have is Clarins Instant Natural Lip Perfector, which comes in six beautiful soft shades. This gently plumping lip gel adds instant glamour to any look when worn over lip colour or alone. It also smells gorgeous for the ultimate beauty sensation!

Our absolute favourite for hair has to be the Twistband. Back in the day, scrunchies used to be perfect for keeping hair up and out of the way, but soon become a style no-no. For a stylish replacement, the Twistband was created - it doesn't pull on hair or create kinks and it looks just as good on your wrist as on your ponytail!

No handbag is complete without a petite perfume, and our top pick is Stella McCartney's "Stella", which comes in a Limited Edition range of 30ml minis with unique blue, yellow and grey prints. The fragrance combines and contrasts two classic scents, Amber and Rose for an exotic, rich scent. 

We're putting all of tour hand beauty essentials in our Summer Mix range, like our Abbie Bowling Bag. Our Abbie is the perfect size for everyday, with a cross body shoulder strap for multi-styling.

Trend: Florals and Brights

It's officially Sping and here at Fiorelli HQ, we've fallen for Florals and Brights for the new season. From Burberry's Spring/Summer '14 catwalk, where we saw an array of colours dappled with gorgeous soft detailing, to Mary Katrantzou, where bold florals prints dominated the catwalk in rich cobalt, royal purple and emerald green.

As Summer arrives, this is the perfect time to try these new colourful accessories whether it's head-to-toe style or simply opt for a bright handbag. Our Paris and Harper Mini range stand out with bold statement style in limeade, mandarin and teal. Add one of these to your current look for immediate on trend style, however as these are classic styles, they'll be wearable for many more seasons too.

We've found these lovely floral pieces on the John Lewis EDIT which we thought would be perfectly paired with our bright bags, from casual day time with teal, to wedding guest in pink hues or for the office yellow and pastels florals work beautifully.

Trend: Menswear Chic

Menswear chic is a timeless classic that here at Fiorelli HQ, we just can't get enough of! From the catwalks to the streets, it's a look that never goes out of style. Sharp tailoring makes anyone look and feel confident, which is another reason why we love it! 

Tailor Spencer Hart says: "It's about trouser suits - not skirt suits - trouser suits look so much better. It's about getting a suit that looks like you've borrowed it from your boyfriend, but it fits really well. Think Bianca Jagger in the White Suit by Helmut Newton; Patti Smith or Claudia Schiffer."

Whether it's getting a tailor made suit, or borrowing your partners tuxedo jacket and styling it to your look, it's easy to wear to the office or even a night out. Take style inspiration from Alexa Chung, who made a name for herself with her tomboy style. Too masculine? Adding accessories makes for a more interesting look, we'd add a clutch bag like our Dixie for a touch of femininity. 

We'd wear this look with a classic black suit, killer strappy sandals, and our Harper Portfolio Laptop Bag in Cobalt Black. Monochrome is a trend hot off the Autumn/Winter '14 catwalks and adding a splash of colour with cobalt create real look-at-me style.

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.

Trend: White Out

Here at Fiorelli HQ, we couldn't help but take notice of yet another emerging Spring/Summer 2014 trend... The fashion white out! This look involves top to toe whites for a real statement look.

It's an elegant look for Spring as seen on the catwalks; at Akris (left), separates were paired to create a very wearable look, which when partnered with the jacket is perfect for work. Whilst at Missoni (centre), there were floaty oversized layers worn with strappy sandals for for Summer evenings drinking cocktails. Then there's who Temperley showed off their typically feminine style with lacy skater dresses contrasted with chunky black heels and abstract sunglasses for a summer holiday vibe.

For an even more striking look, we'd love to style a cut out dress with some monochrome accessories such as these black and white pumps and our Serena Hobo which break up the white out for an unusual take on the trend.

Or for a softer look, we'd wear cream or ivory mixed with neutrals. These quirky flatforms are a great talking piece when worn with a simple midi dress, and work beautifully with our Bailey Grab in Summer Mix.
