    Izzy Stocks Blogs on Metallic Mania.

    Metalwork had a note-worthy influence on the Spring/Summer ’13 catwalks, with many a designer providing luminescent fabrics for the sun to bounce off beautifully. While sweet-toothed Christopher Kane went stylishly OTT with his Quality Street inspired trenches and two pieces at Burberry Prorsum, Raf Simmons embraced the beauty of iridescent organza at Dior. Chloé modernised their girlish ruffles and light-as-air chiffons and silks with a glossy lacquer that appeared on coordinating, hibiscus-printed tees and skirts. We love Dior and Chloé’s combinations of sheen and florals- flowers keep the look dainty while metallics themselves say bang-on-trend. Our Floral Jacquard Metallic Dress will have you looking as polished and pretty by night…

    Get The Look: Zooey Deschanel.

    It’s safe to say that all of us at Yumi HQ are huge fans of Zooey Deschanel, her hit show ‘New Girl’ and the wonder that is ‘Jess’. So with that in mind and the new series airing next week, we felt it was a must to take some style inspiration from Jess herself. Recreate Jess’s style with this Yumi Polka dot print dress with embroidered hemline. Pair it with our Yumi lace detail cardigan and classic ankle boots to complete the look. Jess loves a stripe! Take our Yumi striped jumper and match it with our classic structured skirt and faux leather boots to get this cute day time…

    Tea Break Tuesday: The Place Beyond the Pines.

    For this week’s Tea Break Tuesday we thought we’d share our excitement for the upcoming release of Hollywood Hottie Ryan Gosling’s latest flick ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’. Back working with his ‘Blue Valentine’ director Derek Cianfrance, Ryan play’s a motorcycle stunt rider who turns to robbing banks in order to provide for his lover (real life girlfriend Eva Mendes) and their new born child, a decision that has him colliding into newbie cop and politician Bradley Cooper. Ok…So we may be using this as an excuse to sit and swoon but can you blame us? Check some of our favourite pic’s of Ryan at work.

    Let’s talk about…flowers!

    While everyone focuses on black & white and stripes we think we should liven things up a little with flowers. Even though it’s the middle of March, spring is still sleeping soundly in her bed. Blossoming trees are currently the only ones screaming “Wake up, summer is on its way” Our wardrobe is full of dresses so let’s combine them with leggings, tights and even jeans.  Lets buck the trend and the bitter snow outside. So enough with the black and grey – night and day – let’s bring the colors, let’s bring the flowers! You don’t have any floral prints you say? It’s time to splash some color into your wardrobe with these bold…
