This week’s newsletter has gone completely floral! Seeking inspiration from summer gardens and the upcoming Hampton Court Flower Show creates the perfect opportunity to show you a selection of gorgeous, floral-themed pieces that will have you looking as fresh as a daisy and best in show. Enjoy!
It’s that time of year again where we need to have a think about gifting. There’s summer birthdays, hostess gifts, teacher’s presents and thank yous! This is my edit of this season’s gifts, all of which can arrive beautifully wrapped at no extra charge. Let us know if you would like a message included too.
Our men’s shirts by Pink House Mustique are always popular choices for Father’s Day and summer birthdays and this year’s collection does not disappoint. The cut is a standard UK mens fit so not too fitted and not too enormous, fitting true to size. Every shirt has been pre-washed too, so there is no risk of shrinking. They make fantastic presents and can come packaged, at no extra cost, in our beautiful bespoke packaging.
As you can see I have been putting my time in the sunshine to good use by trying on some of our more summery dresses for you. I have chosen ones that work for hotter days where you want to expose your arms, look feminine and stay cool. I hope you love them as much as I do!
Jeans are the ultimate wardrobe staple – the stoic backbone to any capsule wardrobe and the most versatile item of clothing one can own. No longer perceived as a ‘weekend only’ option, we’re now reaching for our jeans when getting dressed up, just as much as when we’re taking it easy and dressing down. A great pair of jeans will take you everywhere and anywhere – from office to lunch, to an evening out.
There is no one more excited than me that dress weather is finally here! So much so that Lucy and I took to our garden catwalk over the weekend to show you a selection of dresses that are perfect for wearing right now. I hope you enjoy!
I think I have found the perfect v-neck t-shirt! So perfect and at such a great price point (£19.95) that I thought it deserved its own newsletter! So many of you have bought it in one colour and then come back for more – it must be a good sign. Great for casual layering, exercising or just wearing with jeans, it really is the answer to the constant pursuit for the ideal tee!
There is so much excitement in the air about being able to meet up with people indoors and particularly in restaurants. And with that comes a whole new opportunity for outfits! As the weather is still so variable I have focused this week’s newsletter on four dresses that you can wear now and how to accessorise them so you can stay warm too!
Exciting news! This week we have launched Cleverly Wrapped Jeans. Here is a message from a customer: “I visited your shop this morning for the first time. Oh my, it’s beautiful! I bought some jeans and when I got home my husband said my bum has never looked so good. They are so comfortable and I love the colour. Can’t wait to buy them in more colours.” – Kate
Every summer, to the south of London in leafy Wimbledon, the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament takes place. A world-renowned sporting extravaganza, steeped in history and dating back over 140 years, this event is so much more than the game of tennis. From the public ballot and legendary Wimbledon queue, to the tradition for strawberries, free flowing Pimms and celebrity spotting on centre court, Wimbledon’s tennis tournaments are a cultural experience not to be missed! But, what to wear?
The pretty town of Stockbridge is situated in the county of Hampshire, in the South East of England and lies midway between Andover and Romsey in the stunning Test Valley. Read out guide to Stockbridge in Hampshire. Where to stay, where to visit, where to shop and where to eat. It’s all here!
The scarf, a globally recognised yet simplistic piece of triangular, rectangular or square cloth, has been in existence for hundreds of thousands of years. From its humble beginnings in Ancient…
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.
It seems that over the last week we have gone from wet and windy to cold and in need of a jacket. Hence this blog where I have had a go at styling jackets, shackets and gilets in different ways.
It feels like the weather is definitely on the turn and with that in mind I thought it would be good to share with you some outfit inspiration ideas for transitional dressing.
Time to meet the team! As I write this the shop has not been open for seven weeks and sitting patiently in the side lines is the fantastic team that surrounds me waiting patiently to come back to work.
I think summer is about keeping your cool and what better way to do it than in a refreshing palette of laidback blues…so here is a blog post on styling summer blues.
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.
I often get asked about the people behind the brands who we stock so I have decided to start doing some new “meet the designer” blog posts where you can meet the designers and find out a bit about their journey.
About a year ago we started doing these outfit inspiration squares mainly for usage on Instagram but also they provide much of the content for our newsletters.
