How to Accessorise with Pink for A/W 13

October marks this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, and what better way to show your support and think pink than with our charity Hope bag. The stylish yet utterly functional bag was created to mark our 25th birthday in association with Cancer Research UK, with £5 from every one purchased going directly to the charity. Plus, this beautiful number is also currently on sale, down from £30 to £20.

The cerise Hope bag has to be one of Team Fiorelli’s ultimate sale picks! Ever since London Fashion Week took place just over a week ago, we've been in a very much trend led mood, and at the moment we’re thinking pink! It’s the hottest hue to be seen in this season, and whether it’s youthful bubblegum or quaint fuchsia, there’s a tone for every preference. Making our pink Hope bag the perfect number as to help you to fashionably glide into Autumn / Winter.

From the leading A/W 13 catwalks like Simone Rocha’s to the outfits of eternal style icons like Elizabeth Taylor, there are many ways to get a little bit of inspiration on how to wear the pink trend.

Go androgynous and add a flash of pink alongside an oversized black winter coat, or play the feminine card and clash pink tones with  a classically tailored blush toned coat.

Trend Alert: Masculine vs. Feminine

If there was ever any hesitation over whether or not the masculine trend would be a keeper, recent London Fashion Week offerings have cemented this trend once more. For instance, this year’s Fashion Week saw edgy models saunter down the runway in boyish silhouettes, masculine style trouser suits and textured rain macs courtesy of British Designer, Richard Nicoll’s collection.

Nicoll is known for his androgynous approach to women’s fashion and enjoys taking traditional garments such as a shirt dress and reinventing it with innovative fabrics and textures as to create something completely new. The Designer boasts an A-list clientèle including the likes of Sienna Miller, Bjork and Diana Kruger.

However, there was another trend out in force this year; feminine fashion also came out to play with Irish Designer Simone Rocha’s designs stealing the show. Rocha’s appeal lies in her ability to craft chic pieces which walk the tightrope between sophistication and romance. The collection was a fusion of pearl beaded collars, studded socks and luxurious gold and baby pink hues.

Even the usually austere John Rocha lightened up with a collection which paid homage to femininity. Rocha is constantly striving to change his aesthetic and this year was no different as the designer presented his audience with floral prints, full skirted dresses and soft colours which were met with a positive, albeit surprised reception.

Scottish designer Jonathan Saunders also joined the feminine parade with exquisite poppy printed tea dresses, sheer floral shirts, purple peep-toe wedges and satin bomber jackets. Saunders’ free-spirited approach to women’s fashion won him brownie points this year as revellers oohed and aahed over psychedelic prints and hallucinogenic colours in every colour of the rainbow.

Here at Fiorelli, we are definitely on the fence between the two trends. While we are partial to the odd pair of masculine two-toned brogues and a structured blazer, we also like to indulge our girly side with soft prints and tea dresses too! 

Our Jasmine bag in tan lends itself to both trends and can be dressed down to complement tomboy styled outfits or glammed up with a dress and heels, the choice is yours. Share how your styling yours with us on Twitter and Instagram at @Fiorelli_Bags - just tag your photos with #FiorelliStyle!

Discover Fiorelli's Celeb Fans: Molly King and Holly Willoughby

Here at Fiorelli, we always love hearing from people who love our products and seeing how they’ve incorporated them into their outfits. And of course, we’re always flattered to discover when that also includes some of our favourite celebrities too! Take a look at some of our celeb fans below, and how they’ve styled up their chosen handbags.

Molly King: The Pixie Clutch
Pop star Molly was recently spotted out and about at a party with our stylish Pixie clutch, which she teamed with a trendy black leather look dress, and injected a pop of colour by painting her nails bright red.

The stylish black clutch has a luxuriously quilted effect that can easily be used as to take your look from day time chic through to night time cool. It would most definitely add an air of sophistication to a sharp blazer and classic heels during the day, or inject an extra sleek vibe alongside your LBD at the cocktail bar à la Molly King. 

Holly Willoughby: The Marla Grab
Our Marla grab and style icon Holly Willoughby are a style match made in heaven, as her elegant style fits in perfectly with its classic look. Its luxurious croc embossed finish and sleek tote shape heighten the style stakes of any daytime outfit, as Holly proved by teaming it with a laid back oversized coat.

Again, the Marla is chic enough to make the transition from day to night, and great if you're the kind of girl who likes a roomy handbag for all of your bits and bobs. Holly could remove that coat and throw on a pair of heels, and she'd be outfit-ready for drinks with the girls.

How to Bag your Dream Job: What to Wear to an Interview

No matter what job the interview’s for, first impressions are very important when it comes to getting it right, so important in fact, that many employers even make up their mind about a candidate within the first thirty seconds of meeting them!

There’s no denying then that what you wear to an interview can have a real impact on whether or not you land the job, however, it doesn't make the task of choosing an outfit any easier. Luckily, the team at Fiorelli are on hand to offer interview tips and help you to decide what to wear to an interview with our monochrome Kay Francis bag:

Do your Research
Separate yourself from the pack by getting it right. Do your research. A fashion forward outfit is more than acceptable if you’re going for a job as a Designer, and could even put you at a distinct advantage, but an orange and paisley clashing suit should be avoided in the corporate world. 
This doesn't mean you need to shed all individuality, a memorable accessory such as the Kay Francis Monochrome Grab bag or a striking and tasteful necklace will give you presence without looking overdone.

Try on your Outfit in Advance 
While it’s important to look good, it’s more important to feel comfortable. Try on your outfit a couple of nights before and practice your interview questions in front of the mirror. If you’re wearing a skirt make sure it doesn’t come up too high when you sit down etc. If you've not been able to secure much information about the dress code it’s best to opt smart.

Be Confident!
The main thing to remember is to wear the clothes, don’t let the clothes wear you – if you are uncomfortable it will not only show but make you feel self-conscious and distracted. Walk into the room with your head held high, if you believe in yourself the employer will be much more likely to believe in you.

Join us on our Journey through 25 Years of Fiorelli

To celebrate our 25th birthday, we're looking back on our rich style heritage. Join us on our most fashionable journey yet...

Have you heard the news? Fiorelli turns 25 this year, and to celebrate we’re looking back at our history. From styles from seasons gone by, to some of our most campaign images, we’re inviting all our Fiorelli fans to join us on our most stylish yet as we plot our milestones. Here is our story as told so far...

Our rich history begins in 1980 where Fiorelli is conceived as the brainchild of an Australian marketing guru. Later, it is born as ‘Standard City Equipment’, and tone for the next 25 years of handbags and accessories is set.

Jump to 1988: the fashion industry is booming, and Fiorelli officially launches in the UK as the Lunan Group buys the brand, ready for the discerning market. In-keeping with the latest trends of the decade, the 90’s saw the Biker Chic style immortalized in our advertising as ‘Fiorelli Hits the Streets’ for our first campaign. The black and white cityscape becomes a symbol of our heritage and Fiorelli quickly becomes an icon of London style. 

In 2000, Senior Designer Lisa Wood took the Fiorelli brand in a new direction, drawing on her design experience as well as her own taste. From classic styles to bold colours, Fiorelli bags quickly became the must-have accessory of the London fashionista. 

Follow the rest of our journey as we tell our Fiorelli story on Facebook and Twitter, and share your memories and #FiorelliStyle photos with us at @Fiorelli_Bags on Twitter and Instagram!

How To Get the London Fashion Week Look with Fiorelli Jewellery

If like us you’re caught up in London Fashion Week fever, you've also probably been taking a look back at last season’s offerings and wondering exactly what’s in store for this season. 

So, with all of the Fashion Week excitement brewing, we've picked out three of our favourite showcasing Designers, and decided to talk you through their design signatures and how you can use our brand new Fiorelli jewellery range to achieve their looks. Accessories are always the easiest way to rock any trend or style!

House of Holland
Ramsbottom born Henry Holland designs for the typical London girl, but the appeal of his garments obviously transcend the capital's borders too. His design signatures trend towards bold, colourful, and irreverent. Our pink neon spike necklace is perfect for injecting a loud Holland-style statement into your outfit.

Burberry

Led by Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey, Burberry is definitely one of the most sought after shows that receives the most press attention, and of course it’s one that everybody who’s anybody wants to be seen at. The most booked models such as Cara Delevingne have all walked Burberry's runways in its typically British Heritage look with its iconic palette of rich creams and browns. Emulate that classic Burberry style with Fiorelli's Multi Chain and Disk Necklace.

Christopher Kane

Kane likes to design pieces that can completely transform an entire outfit, and embellishment is regularly the focal point of his designs. So, transforming an outfit with statement jewellery is often key. Pieces like our Multi Chain and Crystal Necklace can completely change the feel of an outfit à la Kane style!
