6 Dresses To Take On A Park Picnic
What’s this? Another bank holiday? It’s time to celebrate the warm weather (and the time off) by heading outdoors to soak up the sun. After all, it’s not a bank holiday without an alfresco lunch or two! Whether you’re picnicking with your family or stocking up on champagne for an afternoon with the girls, it’s important to dress for the weather! This season, we’ve channeled the 60s for our picnic looks – think retro shapes, bright colours, and lots and lots of dresses! Of course, we’re hoping that the weather holds up for one more bank holiday, but if it doesn’t…be sure to pack a jacket! So, without further ado,…

Wear It Like Your Hero
When you hear the word superhero, you might think of capes, masks and hidden powers! However, this National Superhero Day, we’re moving away from fiction and comic books and diving into the real world… Here at Yumi, we’re advocates of appreciating real women, their stories and how they choose to express themselves. After all, standing out from the crowd is the way forward! So, on the 28th of April, we’re celebrating the unsung saints…who don’t necessarily wear capes. As part of our campaign, we’ve selected four women who make a difference to ordinary lives and put others before themselves every day at work. We’ve honoured their efforts by letting them…

Style It Like The Queen
Throughout her lengthy reign, the Queen has provided us with countless outfits, endless pearl necklaces and a vast range of bright colours! From her matching coat and hat combination to her pristine white gloves, her sense of style has a special place in our hearts. And with her 93rd birthday fast approaching – her first birthday of the year might we add – we thought we’d honour her by presenting our favourite royal looks. Unfortunately, unlike the Queen, we can’t offer you two birthdays or a palace, but we can give you the chance to dress like her. Since Liz throws a garden party every year, we’ve dedicated our looks…

Why Kimonos Are A Yumi Favourite
Over the years, kimonos have become an important part of many wardrobes. Their dramatic wide sleeves and relaxed fit make them an open-front friend for life, and perfect for rocking all year round. We feature them every season because of their easy shape. Plus, when combined with our exclusively designed prints, it’s a recipe for total style! But, it’s not simply because of their cut that makes them a Yumi favourite… Just like kimonos, we have a connection to Japan – did you know that Yumi translates as beautiful? With Far East origins, kimonos are a cultural feature of all types of occasion in Japan. However, it’s often considered that…
