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!

Trend: The Mini Bag

We couldn't help but notice the appearance of a new trend of the Mini Bag here at Fiorelli HQ! With several available in our new collection, we've been styling them for various occasions from a night out to casual weekend style.

For the evenings, we've been sporting the fabulous two-tone neutral Jolie cross body with optional shoulder strap, along with a black jumpsuit and strappy heeled sandals. Finish the look with a gold necklace to match the hardware on the Jolie, our new Tyra necklace with triangle crystal detailing is a gorgeous addition.

For work, look no further than our Hope Tote, available in three colours with proceeds supporting Cancer Research UK. We've picked the white to work perfectly with a printed dress, textured jumper and block heel. 

For the weekend the Harper Mini is the perfect bag to add to any outfit. With detachable shoulder strap, it's multifunctional and has several internal compartments to keep organised. Add to simple separates, and everyday sandals finish the look.

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.

Jasper Conran A/W 14

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?

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.

Alex Hobo, Shoes, Dress, Jacket, Teardrop Bracelet

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. 

How are you styling bold brights and florals prints for Spring? Send us your #FiorelliStyle outfit photos via Twitter and Instagram or let us know by leaving a comment below.

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.

You may have seen some images of the new Fiorelli collection on our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram feeds from our recent Press Day. However, as dedicated Fiorelli Style Notes readers, we wanted to give you an exclusive preview of our new range for Autumn/Winter 2014.

Our Leonie and Serena purses below are a small preview of our upcoming range of purses, in a range of patent and leather look finishes to suit any handbag:

We created a range of classics in neutrals, perfect for everyday chic, and as you can see the tote bag is here to stay:

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.

Clockwise from top left Vivi Grab, Francesca Shoulder, Serena Hobo, and Regan Large Quilt

Christmas Party Style Inspiration: Mollie King

We love to share style tips here at our office and we're always talking about something fashion related, so the Christmas party is naturally a big talking point for us! And as we're all looking for a little outfit inspiration, the fashionista on everybody's lips is Mollie King of The Saturdays. We love her girly yet sophisticated style... And that's not just because she's been seen out and about with one of our party clutches!

So, in our quest to replicate the singer’s style, we've created some inspirational looks based on a couple of her most papped outfits. 

Image Sources: Leather Shift Dress, Clutch Bag, Peter Pan Collar

In this look Mollie is sporting a gorgeous up do which is comparable to the staple hairstyle of sixties French actress Brigitte Bardot (Mollie’s self confessed fashion idol), a leather shift dress and our signature clutch bag, the Fiorelli pixie clutch in black. 

Introduce a touch of feminine, festive sparkle to your Christmas party outfit by adding a shimmery peter pan collar and glitter nail paint. 

Image Source: Shoulder bag, Velvet Dress, Lipstick, Waist Cinching Belt

Mollie's party look is given a seasonal update here, we chose a luxurious velvet version of Mollies sweetheart neckline dress which is so on trend for winter 2013 and added a deep berry lipstick and Fiorelli Perry shoulder bag for hands-free dancing!
