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!

The New Neutrals

Here at Fiorelli HQ, we've been enjoying the summer sunshine with a gorgeous new palette of neutral tones in the form of some Fiorelli arrivals. 

Hot off the Autumn/Winter '14 catwalks, neutrals were strong at Daks and Jasper Conran, and we couldn't help but feel inspired by these gorgeous tones.

Our structured Annaline Grab comes in four colour choices, from classic black, monochrome white with quilted detailing, a soft heather mix and easy to wear tan. 

Then there's our new Courtney, a soft shoulder bag available in black, gorgeous sage, tan and cream.

The neutral is an effortless addition to any outfit, from a casual daytime look to an evening dress. There's simply something about neutrals which shows real elegance and style - wouldn't you agree?

Sneak Peek: Fiorelli S/S '15

Today, we're giving you a sneak peek behind the scenes at our Spring/Summer '15 shoot. It may seem very early but with the design process taking place over a year in advance of a collection launch, we're busy planning upcoming seasons trends and getting all of our product shots ready for our Lookbooks and the Press.

We had a beautiful modern location in Kent, spectacular inside and out. As soon as we set our eyes on this fabulous location - we knew it was perfect. 

The day started early with wardrobe planning, organising different outfits and make up looks for each bag we were shooting. We certainly enjoyed being around all of the fabulous pieces! 

As the sun was shining it was a great opportunity for some outdoor shots, with an unusual mix of natural scenery and this industrial tower as a real contrast. Our photographer was shooting away whilst some of the Fiorelli team helped with improving lighting - including our very own Head Designer Lisa!

It was such a fabulous day, and we're very excited to show you all the collection next year. In the mean time, here's a little preview of what's to come with some detailed shots of the Spring/Summer '15 range:

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.

Are you a fan of the tailored look? Send us your menswear inspired looks via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram @Fiorelli_bags

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.

#FiorelliTravels: Lisa and Sue Head to Japan for Design Inspiration

Our head designer Lisa has been off on her #FiorelliTravels seeking design inspiration once more! Can you believe that she’s already thinking about a collection for Spring/Summer '15?!

This time however, she was joined by our brand manager Sue Tebbitts, beginning their trip in Japan, and then, going on to Hong Kong and ending in China. It’s been quite the trip and as they've got so much to show you, today we’re going to reveal what they discovered in Japan, - and we’ll just have to leave you hanging until next week for the rest!

Inspiration for new designs can be derived from absolutely anywhere, so, when visiting a different country it’s good to see lots of different things from its cultural habits to its fashion scene. So, Lisa and Sue ensured that they completely emerged themselves within Japanese culture, and of course, sampling the local cuisine (including live shrimp!) or checking out traditional Japanese clothing was definitely a must!

Different traditions and beliefs are always interesting to see, such as this Japanese prayer wall which lets people write down their prayers and tie them onto the string. 

Naturally, part of Lisa's travels always includes checking out the country's shopping scene. We know, it's a tough part of the job but somebody has to do it! Japan is known for its crazy fashion trends and quirky aesthetics, and nothing quite screams Japan more than this boutique's changing room covered in teddy bears! 

Promotional launches always seem to be as flamboyant as possible too! Just look at this pop up display for a new beauty range that Lisa spotted. Would't she look great with a giant Fiorelli handbag upon her arm?! 

After a couple of days spent soaking up all of the natural beauty and quirky traits that Japan has to offer, it was time to jet off to Hong Kong...
