The Gilet
In today’s terms a gilet (also known as a bodywarmer, waistcoat – or a vest in the US) commonly refers to a simply structured, straight-sided, sleeveless jacket primarily worn for extra warmth on nippy days.

Meet the Designer: Rose and Rose
We have been stocking Rose and Rose since I started Cleverly Wrapped in 2014 and it is one of my favourite brands as the pieces have a unique and bohemian feel to them which is the way in which I like to dress.

Below is my personal selection of our best gifts for the summer season.
Three Dresses Four Ways
If you have been reading my blogs for a while you will know that I love to get multiple uses out of my clothes whether it be a scarf or a dress. So I thought it would be fun to choose three dresses from the current collection and show them styled in four completely different ways. I don’t think you will need much further commentary from me as hopefully the images speak for themselves.
