Label Collections 2014 Winter Range {plus a giveaway}

You may remember a post which I did at the beginning of the year, featuring the Label Collections summer fashion range. Well I am super excited to bring you a sneak peek of their latest 2014 Winter Collection!

Label Femme:

I am in love with this blouse! It is understated elegance at its best! This soft and semi sheer georgette blouse is contrasted by the pleather collar but still has a über chic look. Here it is teamed it with Femme embossed neo-preen fitted pants and heeled lace ups to complete the look.

The bomber jacket is definitely a season must have! Team it with a circle skirt and blouse or with a fitted tunic and leggings. It is a super easy jacket to style and basically team with anything. The Femme bomber jacket features a metal zip and pleather trim at the collar and the pockets. A trendy addition to any wardrobe!

The waterfall jacket remains a wardrobe staple season after season. Here it is teamed with the Femme basic T shirt dress with ruching detail at the sides.

As well as the Femme Range, Label Collections creates Lamére, a trendy fashion range for the mom-to-be. There is, after all, no reason pregnant woman should not be fashionable!

Label Lamére:

This is the perfect tunic to team with leggings or your favourite skinny jeans. Pair with boots or pumps for a stunning look. The soft viscose lycra just falls beautifully over the bump.

In my opinion every woman should own a trench coat! The Label signature trench coat is the perfect flattering fit but yet remains comfortable and stylish. It is fully lined and includes this season on trend “leather” trim detail. Above the trench is teamed it with a Femme basic T with copper trim detail at sleeves and hem and full length bengaline pants. The pants are a fantastic and comfortable fit with fully functional fly and extended tab. It features elastic panels at the side which allows for easy and comfortable expansion as the belly grows.

Poetry Fashion Autumn 2014

As you may know I am a bit of a shopaholic but since my wardrobe consult last year, I try to be a tad more conservative with my retail therapy sessions! I still window-shop often but if I buy something it has to fit into my existing wardrobe, in other-words no impulse buys!

Two of my favourite stores in South Africa, are Poetry and Old Khaki, which actually fall under the same global brand. I shop at these stores mainly for casual or more relaxed weekend wear. Although saying that, you can also find great occasional-wear pieces at Poetry. I think that the quality and value of both brands are really good – they are not the cheapest but as the saying goes “you get what you pay for”!

On a recent quest to find a denim jacket, I discovered the one above at Poetry – I was looking for something I could wear, as both a casual, day time jacket but also dress-up, for a smarter look. My original thought was to go for a darker denim but I fell in love with this jacket, the moment I laid eyes on it! I thought I would share this and a few of my other Poetry Fashion finds for Autumn 2014.

For this more casual look, I have paired the jacket with Stone Chinos, from Old Khaki{last season} and one of my favourite purchases for Autumn 2014, a Aqua Pullover, from Poetry. I loved the pullover so much I went back and bought it in black as well! My advice, if you find a wardrobe staple, which fits you well, looks great and the budget allows – then buy it in more than one colour!

If you are wanting a smarter look for evening, then pair the denim jacket with a pretty black lace vest or blouse and black pants or a skirt. You could also wear the jacket over a LBD for an even smarter look!

This jacket appeals to me on a few different levels but mainly because of its feminine tailoring, I love the mandarin collar and pretty rouged edging, as well as the stunning shade of denim! It has very quickly become a wardrobe staple and fits perfectly into my intermediary wardrobe. Staples like this are an important part of any wardobe, especially as the seasons change and it gets a bit more chilly in the evenings.

As well as great clothing Poetry also stocks beautiful accessories, shoes, bags and scarves, as well as homeware and bath and body products.

Featured Items: Rare Earth Evangeline Denim Jacket R650 Poetry, Aqua Pullover R450 Poetry, Lace Vest R375 Poetry

To find these and other items please visit the Poetry Website to shop online or locate a store closest to you.

Witchery and Mimco Dates in Store at Woolworths

You may remember my post at the end of last year, about the launch of iconic Australian brands Witchery and Mimco, at Woolworths stores, in South Africa. Following the successful introduction of Country Road and Trenery to South Africa, Woolworths decided to launch Witchery and Mimco to the South African retail market.

Well I thought I would give you a bit of a heads up and let you know when these brands are scheduled for release, in Woolworths stores:

• from 25th March in Cape Town
• from 26th March in Durban
• from 27th March in Gauteng

I am super excited to have a closer look at these brands! The time is perfect as I am starting to plan my winter wardrobe and hopefully add a few key pieces from these two brands.

For more info on Witchery and Mimco, you can read my full post “Witchery Mimco are set to launch at Woolworths”.
