Sink your (Dog) teeth into this!


Hot off the press, from the Tommy Hilfiger fall 2013 ready to wear show last night, great news! Dogtooth is back in!  Originating in Scotland, but now used all over the world, Dogtooth oozes sophistication and class.

Used throughout Hilfiger’s show, the pattern was cut into structured coat and preppy jumper dresses, giving a thoroughly ‘private school’ look to the overall collection, especially when styled with knee high socks and doctor bags.
                   
Mixing in leather and furs, the contrast of the fabric palettes added a rich feel to the collection echoing Hilfiger’s brand essence of ‘Classic American Cool and providing a refreshing twist to the preppy fashion genre’.

After winning the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012, Hilfiger has gone from strength to strength, with collection advertisements showcasing the ‘family’ on various outings and situations. Check out this years yachting season collection for a nautical treat too!



And finally…Couldn’t resist showing you guys this little fella looking chic in his very own dogtooth jacket! Note to self- the perfect way to accessorise any outfit is with a matching puppy!

If you’re a bit of a rock chic, and want to make an impression this Valentine’s week without going too girly, how about this leopard print dress, perfect to bring out your wild side. The heart cut-out keeps it quirky and brings some romance to the outfit.

The stud detailing on the headband and shoes add a tougher edge, but you can keep it feminine and cute with our very own Love Heart Word Definition Pendant.

A simple touch, the heart shapes will work together making you the only one in your man’s heart! Find it here.
           
This outfit would be great for a romantic dinner date, followed by drinks and some dancing! If its chilly, wrap up in a black cardigan and some opaque tights.

Re-loving for Valentines


Another great Valentine’s offering- such a great idea! A heart wreath made entirely of plastic bags!
Works perfectly with our re-design,re-cycle, re-love ethos!

It’s so simple to make too- just cut up red and white plastic bags into strips and tie them to a wire coat hanger bent into your desired shape.
Hang it wherever you fancy, the recipient is sure to love it.

With thanks to http://www.recycle-eh.com/apps/blog/ for the great idea!
