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.

#FiorelliTravels: The Tessa Crossbody Hits Marrakech

This week upon our #FiorelliTravels, our International Territory Manager Amy took the stylish Tessa Crossbody in snake mix all the way to Marrakech, Morocco for a sun soaked holiday! 

Marrakech boasts an impressive number of traditional cafes and restaurants, and so, a refreshing stop at a rooftop terrace in Marrakech’s main square was a must, where they sampled the locals’ ceremonial beverage of choice, a delicious Moroccan mint tea.

You’re spoilt by the choice of traditional cuisine to try out from tagines to puddings such as sliced oranges with cinnamon, sugar and orange blossom water, and that’s not to mention the numerous sweet pastries just like the delicious Pastilla, a pastry containing spicy, savoury meat and topped with a splash of icing. 

It was definitely maxi dress and flip flop weather, which the Tessa crossbody sat perfectly alongside. Above, Amy went to visit the Saadian Tombs in the Kasbah part of the town, which was the final resting place of one of the Sultans that ruled the city, and some of his descendants too. 

Near the centre of the city and the Souks, resides the Koutoubia mosque, which sounds out a call for prayer several times per day across the entire city. 

As night time approached, the roof top bars offered spectacular views of the city, and the perfect spot to watch the sun set. This shot was taken at the Kosy bar, which was quite close to the Koutoubia mosque.
