Fox + Feather Now Open

Our beautiful new shop is now open! Come and say hi at 43 Gloucester Road, Bristol. The doors opened last Saturday and we are just about beginning to recover from the stampede!

Thanks to all our gorgeous customers for making our first few days so special. xx

See you soon ! x

eyelashes in store soon...

For those of you following the progress of the new store opening, I am pleased to say the shop fit is well and truely underway. I will post some picture shortly. We have knocked down walls and revealed many cool things, a stained glass window, 1950's wooden shoe shop shelving and wallpaper of rollerskating rabbits....

Anyway, here is another little taster of things to come in the fox + feather once the shop doors finally open.

Eyelashes like you have never seen before! They will be retailing for £12. Lots of different designs will be available. LOVE.

Fox and Feather love Missco Girl

Oooh things are hotting up! I am very proud to announce that Fox + Feather will be the first UK stockist of the new Missco Girl handbag range, designed exclusively for the UK market and not yet even launched!

The range is perfect: beautiful quality, fantastic finish, gorgeous colours. Here is a little taste of what is to come... prices range from £30 to £55.

Want to work for Fox and Feather?

It's been a while but we are finally near to opening the brand new Bristol Fox and Feather store. I have some truely gorgeous brands lined up, all UK based, all new to Bristol! The main focus is on womenswear (ages 18-35yr) with a beautiful accessories range and a small collection of vintage fashion finds. Prices range from £5 to £70.

So now I need to create a lovely team to work in this beautiful store.

The store will be on Gloucester Road, Bristol and is due to open mid/end February 2012. I am looking for:

• Assistant Manager (part time): to work Sundays and 2 week days (flexible) approx 20hr per week
• Sales Assistant (part time) : to work Saturdays and possibly a couple of afternoons approx 10 hrs per week
• I may also be looking for a temporary Store Manager to work approx 4 months to cover the opening period

Applicant must be over 18 yrs old (no upper age limit!)

If you would like to apply for any of these positions please send you CV and a covering letter to info@foxandfeather.co.uk. You must state on your application which position you are applying for and your availability.

Be aware- these positions are sales positions, not cashier or admin positions. You will be expected to interact with each and every customer and showcase the brand. This is not a role for anyone who wants a quiet easy life! But it will be incredibly rewarding, and a fantastic first step for anyone interested in a carreer in fashion, buying and visual merchandising.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

it's getting closer!

I've been busy finding some exciting new brands for the store... Here is a little peek at what might be coming soon...

 Anyone interested in being stocked let me know as soon as possible so you don't miss out!

not long now folks!

I have a little sneak preview for you of a couple of things that will be appearing in the fox + feather online shop soon.

Just to give you a taster... go to www.foxandfeather.co.uk.

Now In Lemon

In their own words...

Now In Lemon seek to bring about pleasure through stupid drawings.

I urge you to have a look. You will enjoy it. Printed copies are available through the Now In Lemon website and will also be available in the fox + feather shop sometime soon.

Here's a taster from Now In Lemon, Issue One.

ello monki!

I just sat down to have a little whinge about the fact that it is time to put away my trusty espadrilles until next year. I have been battling on ignoring the soggy toes but I think today's torrential downpour finally has me beaten. That and the fact that the funny espadrille in decay smell is beginning to get a little embarrassing...Hmmm, maybe they should just go in the bin.

So I was going to check out my new shoe purchase options on the trusty old interweb, when I decided to check out Monki quickly before I did. And now I am just massively annoyed that there are no Monki stores outside of London (they opened a concession in Selfridges last week) and you can't buy online!

Monki is proper Scandi-cool. I'm not really sure what that means, but I'm definitely sure that cool Scandinavians would most likely be annoyed by that comment. Anyway, if you are going past Selfridges and want to get me a present here are a few suggestions. DO IT!

They have put together sets to help you part with all your hard earned cash. How kind.

You can sign up, become a friend and get a magazine. It's aimed at teenagers but who cares!

These little fellas are all over Monki. Ooooh.

Mmmmmmmmm

I am a lucky girl. I have just had my first taste of Creighton's Chocolate. I think this might be the start of a long and happy relationship!

Creighton's Chocolaterie make the best chocolate. They have all kinds of different things-  lollipops, edible gifts and fancy boxed chocolates. They are hand-made in house using traditional methods but use quirky designs and flavors.  It looks and tastes amazing! 

They do stuff for parties and events. The packaging is really cute so it makes a really good last minute present too (for girls and boys, check out the lollipop moustache!).

HEART SHAPED BOX £3.50

SILVER SPOON STIRRER £3.75

MR MOUSTACHE £2

CHOCOGRAPHY £2.50

little mistress

The last couple of weeks have been very unproductive. Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've been disctracted by one of the following:

1. The sudden urgent need to make a cup of tea and eat jaffas.
2. Doris (the cat) head butting my hand and walking on the keyboard until I give up.
3. The realisation that my hair is past the dry shampoo stage and it really does need a proper wash. Now.
4. A growing obsession with 'The Killing' (danish detective series) that seems to have seeped in to the dark recesses of my brain and makes me keep saying "Theis, Theis!"

The only thing I've managed to get done is to start looking for some new brands to get me in the mood to spend some money on some nice autumn clothes. Top of my list is a dress from Little Mistress. They are a London brand who are going from strength to strength with each new collection. They are very reasonably priced with dresses from £30. They have just launched a new jewellery collection too, which isn't online yet but I'll let you know when it is.

Jade dress £34.99
