Where's the party at?!

When the nights get longer and the cold air starts biting, more often then not I find myself dressing for comfort rather then style. So when we get a delivery of party dresses, they have to be incredibly gorgeous for me to even think about wearing one! And this is exactly what happened when we unwrapped out latest box of goodies from Little Mistress. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful cobalt maxi dress with gold beading and headed straight to the changing rooms to try it on. It is fits extremely well, with great shaping around the bust and an elasticated back to ensure it stays where it's supposed to! Even more appealing is the fact that if I wanted to, I could keep my thermal leggings on underneath and no-one would ever know......sshhh! :-) ....now where's the party at?!

Little Mistress Cobalt Maxi Dress with Gold Beading

Good for layering, good for me!

Well helloooo November! It's my favourite month of the year. I love the smell of winter approaching, bonfires, fireworks and treacle toffee. Oh and it's my birthday! Ha!

I'm loving the chance to finally pull on my snuggly woolly tights. Layering up is fun! Last week we had new deliveries from Chuti and Louche London. I'm still a bit undecided as what to choose to update my wardrobe. I want a new skirt and a new cardigan but unfortunately one of each is not an option ;(

So.. do I get this gorgeous pleated beauty from Louche London? I love the coloured bands and the detail on the waistband on this Lejoi Skirt. I imagine myself wearing this little number with some coloured tights and ankle boots.

Or..do I go for the super cute Bunny Cardigan from Chuti? Animal motifs are one of my favourite trends this season.

Oh whatever, it's my birthday, I'm just going to get both. Sssshhh....

Lazy lovely

Fiona Top Goldie London

I am a lazy fashion lover. The way I like to dress is very little effort, and taking as little time possible! So when I find an item I can easily convert from day to evening, I am one happy lady. Goldie London definitely have it covered with this gorgeous Fiona Top in black. It's in store now and on-line. I've been wearing mine with a cami underneath and jeans in the daytime, but it is so easy to dress up for the evening. I think that just about sums up the way I like to dress!

loving these sunny days...

It makes me smile when the sun shines, especially when you don't expect it. Yesterday I went for a gorgeous walk in the countryside in just a tee shirt (obviously not JUST a tee shirt...) and it felt so good. I had a few hours of not thinking about work, there was no signal on my phone and boy, that was enjoyable!

On my walk I was wearing my Brat and Suzie Nordic tee from their new AW12 collection. It shows how busy I've been that I had never really looked at the print properly. It is little stags and birds! So cool!

So here it is, for everyone to enjoy...and we do have a few left in store so you can always get your own and pray for another sunny day to show it off in it's full glory before you layer it up with a chunky cardi!

Brat and Suzie Nordic Tee £30

Web shop is open! At long last!

Whoop whoop whoop *does a little jig* our new web-shop is up and running as of yesterday! We processed our first orders today which was strangely exciting, though I am sure the novelty of wrapping and packing and posting will soon wear off!

http://foxandfeather.co.uk

The web shop only has a small selection of what our Bristol store has to offer, but you will find our best selling brands Louche London, Brat and Suzie, Goldie London, Little Mistress  are all there. There are also a few sale bargains that we don't have in store so do have a look!

We are still photographing stock to get it on-line. Coming soon will be our gorgeous shoes from Armistice, jewellery from Rosie Fox, fabulous eyelashes from Paperself, stationary from Sukie. And then we have new clothing brand Chuti arriving any day soon.... sleep? us? never!

We are also excited about our visit from Drapers (the fashion bible!). They are coming to check us out as we have been shortlisted for best new business of the year. We are extremely flattered, and will be making sure we are looking our sparkling best for them next week.

shoe time!

After a few months of umming and ahhing, I've decided that yes! We shall try shoes! And here is your little sneak preview of what's arriving first.

They are from super cool brand Armistice. They are lovely and French and very, very nice! They should be in store in a couple of weeks. Oh and they are not on wheels, that's just a prop!

PURE LONDON new brands in store soon!

woooooooohh... what a week...

I am just about recovered from a great visit to Pure London trade show. This is the first trade show we have dared to go to since my baby daughter was born. She is 3 months old now and we decided she was just about old enough to be introduced to the world of fashion! The 31 degree heat with no air con was a bit much on the drive down. But we made it!

We caught up with some of our favourite brands, Louche London, Missco Girl, Orelia, who all had great looking stands this year. We have ordered such beautiful things, I almost want to skip Christmas and get straight into Spring!

We have also found a few new brands that will be in Fox + Feather for the first time. As always, we will be the sole stockists in Bristol so you won't be bumping into anyone in a matching frock :)

Here is another sneak preview (did I not say I was no good at surprises?) Arriving end of September we will have the cutest range of knits from Chuti. I think I want one of each! Here are a few of them...

no good at surprises...

We are biting our finger nails in anticipation of the GORGEOUS new season stock arriving next week. I'm planning my new wardrobe around a black leather jacket from those clever people at Goldie London. I know I shouldn't spoil the surprise and fun of visiting the shop to see it all for the first time, but here are a few of the things you might see....if I haven't bought them all first! :)

Sunshine? Really?!

As I write the sun is streaming through the windows and wow does it feel good! So now I begin to remember what summer feels like...

We had a fun day at the shop yesterday. The lovely Jess from Sugarhill Boutique came to show us their Spring 2013 collection. It is fab. We picked out our favourite pieces and have placed an order ready for delivery in about 7 months time. It is going to be worth the wait- I promise!

On a more immediate note, we  have some new styles arriving this week from Louche London. Here's a little sneak preview for you...

As always, all stock can be posted out to you if you cant make it to the store. Just get in touch info@foxandfeather.co.uk or 0117 3292575.
