Wear It Like A Florist
Grab your spades – the Chelsea Flower Show is back for another year of show-stopping, cuting-edge designs and of course…lots and lots of flowers! The return of one of our highly anticipated events also brings with it the desire to rediscover nature and get green-fingered! But, it’s not simply the urban environment or the exciting floral arrangements that are growing our inspiration this year. In fact, it’s the hard-working horticulturists working behind the scenes who got us thinking about other driven gardeners… Do you remember last month, when we showed you the real heroes who make a difference to ordinary life? Well, this time we’re switching things up (while staying…

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…

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?
