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.

#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. 

Don't forget you can keep up to date with all of our #FiorelliTravels on Facebook , Twitter and Instagram! 

Catwalk Trend: Monochrome

Here at Fiorelli HQ - we couldn't help but spot a bold trend emerging over the last few months: Monochrome. First seen at the Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer '14 show, here we were presented with a range of optical illusion style outfits from stripes, to checks and even  florals. 

Although monochrome is real statement when worn head to toe, it's very wearable on accessories. We'd partner our Monochrome selection of bags with a little black dress and cream blazer for work, or work a bright dress with various monochrome accessories for an evening out.

Introducing the Abbie Bag...

It may still be summer, but fashion moves fast, and with our AW13 collection now available we’re looking to next season trends for style inspiration. 

Our new Abbie bag is the perfect addition to your autumn style. With her grab handles and adjustable cross-body strap, Abbie is the ideal bag to tote around the city whether you’re home or away. The boxy shape gives enough room for your everyday and travel essentials, yet it’s still chic enough to take your look from day to night. Available in three gorgeous colours, chocolate and red, black and white and tan, which Abbie will you choose?

For a bold colour statement next season, grab our red and chocolate Abbie. Take some style notes from our #FiorelliHandpicked blogger Girl in Menswear and work yours into an androgynous look. 

Monochrome is the word of the catwalk at next season’s shows. Nod to the trend with our black and white Abbie. Style with a black and white outfit for a chic look head-to-toe, or experiment with textures and patterns for a bold take on this classic style. 

Try your hand at the oh-so-loved western trend which is still going strong with our tan Abbie bag. Finish off a double denim look with this stand-out accessory and give this country style a city update.
