#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! 

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.

How To Style your Fiorelli Clutch Bag for Your Christmas Parties

The festive season is fast approaching and here at Fiorelli HQ, we’re already excitedly planning all of our Christmas party outfits. We’re guessing that we’re not alone either! And we also know that selecting the perfect party dress is only half of the process, as accessorizing with the right piece of arm candy is equally as important.

So, we thought that we’d extend a helping hand by providing you with a little party time outfit inspiration, and show you how to style three of our stylish clutches in time for your Christmas parties! 

Classic

Dress One, Dress Two 

Opting for a stylish LBD is always a winner but that doesn't mean that you can’t do classic with a twist. Choose a little black dress that’s subtly infused with a fashion forward trend. For instance, edge up your look with a leather look finish, or up the Christmas time glamour stakes by working ruffles or feathers into your look. 

Our quilted effect Chelsea shoulder is the perfect combination of sleek and edgy, which would fit in perfectly with this look. And it even comes with a detachable shoulder strap enabling you to take it from day through to the evening. 

Vintage

Dress One, Dress Two 

You don’t have to be the world’s biggest vintage fan in order to enjoy injecting a splash of vintage style opulence into your look every now and then, and what better of an occasion to dress up than at Christmas?!

Our Gabby shoulder with detachable strap definitely has a vintage feel about it, and would work equally as well with a luxurious feeling Twenties inspired tassle dress as it would with a beautiful retro printed dress. 

On Trend 

Dress One, Dress Two 

Our luxurious Juliet clutch is the ultimate party piece, - it’s sleek, stylish, and the perfect size for all of your party essentials. Rest assured that you can easily fit your favourite lipstick, mirror, mobile, and make up must haves all inside! And it’s versatile enough to sit alongside an array of trend led dresses from winter florals through to our favourite lace numbers.
