Attention seeking Accessories

This season, it is all about expressive accessories.  Anya Hindmarch leads the way, as she has been for some seasons following her recent popart handbag collections. For SS15 highstreet retailers follow suit as New Look and River Island offer a great selection of cheeky accessories to inject some humour and personality into your summer wardrobe.

Lust Have Accessories

Accessories have the ability to transform an outfit from ordinary to outstanding. Often  an after thought, they are in fact the finishing touch to a masterpiece. No fabulous outfit can truly be complete without some expert accessorising. Embrace accessories to express your personal style, personality or even your mood. On that note, I went to The Cube Company yesterday to take a look at their great accessory designers. Here are 4 names you simply must know and put on your lust list.


1. Kirk Originals.

Handcrafted in France and seen on the famous faces of the 90's, Kirk Originals are known for their geometric shapes and bold statement eye wear. 

The eye wear of icons. Love Love Love it.

Me rocking the Kirks. All Black everything. Red Lips.

Anna looks like a classic

2.  Hemsley London

These bags are so clever and too cool. By anticipating the needs of the modern wearer, Hemsley have sought about incorporating technology into the design, elevating them beyond fashion, to gadget. The  perfect accomplice for a busy city girl.

Open the bag, slot in your i-Pad open the flap at the front and voila, tap away. The smaller bags work for i-Phones.

available at Farfetch

A handbag/lunch box. How cool is this!?



3. HAIK
Scandinavian collective HAIK is the creative brain child of Siv Støldal, Ida Falck Oien & Herald Lunde Helgesen.

This collections theme is all about the 3 R's:  revitalisation, renewal and recycle. And to that, we have these amazing reversible sunglasses for those who can't make up their minds, two looks in one. Modelled by Anna ;)

4. Chapman 

Made in England, this heritage brand has established a name for itself for quality, sturdy, stylish bags that last a lifetime. Sometimes, you just cant beat the classics.

People, Parties and Fashion: Wolf & Badger, Full Bloom Party

Well I was lucky enough to be one of the fabulous, fortunate enough to be found at Wolf and Badger's Full Bloom Party. For those of you who don't know , Wolf and Badger are an amazing concept store that have revolutionised the retail industry, by housing new, innovative and unique designers in chic, sleek , modern and luxury retail spaces

Set on a sunny afternoon their Full Bloom party was in full spring, drinks a flowing (some magical concoction of Briska cider, pepper, vanilla & vodka cocktails) with a fashionable crowd spilling on to the street... The DJ (Scott Le Rock) was spinning a perfect mix to lull your curiosity in to discover the collections of the new hot designers.Among the fresh meat, my personal was Bracher Emden, their statement embellished bags are the perfect addition to  any otherwise meek ensemble.
There are plenty more worth mentioning, but I'll let you discover- 46 Ledbury Road Notting Hill.

Chic baby Chic! x Love Lois x
