Jaeger’s Boutique Collection soon to retail..

Jaeger's new Boutique Collection

This autumn British heritage brand, Jaeger will launch a new collection aimed towards the younger generation of fashion lovers (from late teens and above.) Jaeger Boutique is a venture to make the renowned label more desirable to younger women.

Boutique Collection

Created with the London scene in mind, Boutique’s ideal consumer is edgy with attitude and utterly fixated with fashion. The collection will encapsulate all the free spirited of the 60s with a contemporary rock n roll vibe. Jaeger is providing the young British woman with an eclectic dressing up box full of classic pieces with a contemporary twist.

Boutique Collection

Leopard Jacquards, Georgette candy stripes, electric-blue crepe, sweatshirts and silks finished with ravishing pink & red kisses. Hemlines are shorter and the mood is more flirtatious but the classic Jaeger traditional signature style has a heavy presence within the collection..

Boutique Collection

The collection is due to launch at the end of this month (July) but the full collection will be available from August / September, Boutique will be sold in 17 stores and online.

Traffic People & Motel Rocks..

After the success of our photoshoot featuring two of our favourite brands Motel Rocks & Traffic People last week here at WRUW HQ for our eZINE, I thought a quick Blog mention was in order.

Everyone is shouting about these brands at the moment so I thought we’d give a little rundown on their history and why their own styles work so well. Motel Rocks represents a style of electric mix punk with fun retro tones. We love Motel Rocks fun attitude & the fact that they create their own trends rather than follow others, you can see that in the collections only a hint towards trends in the designs are used. Motel also has a strong celebrity following with stars such as Alesha Dixon, The Tings Tings, Marina & the Diamonds and most recently Holly Willoughby who was snapped wearing the Pamela dress was £39 NOW £22 wow!!!

Pamela Dress £22

Zebra Print Dress £35

Traffic People is 9 years old this year and has seen major exposure on the music scene.. in fact girl band of the moment The Saturdays all wore this seasons flirty playsuits at the Isle of Wight Festival and looked fantastic!

Traffic People has a certain flair when it comes to emulating the style of iconic divas such as Bianca Jagger from the Studio 54 era, think confident, sexy & flirty with an element of fun!! The S/S 11 collection shows how to work floaty silks, old time glamour while combining scenes from romantic strolls on the beach.

Office Life

I thought I would do a daily update around office life today. We are a busy little team and I (Lara) am hugely missing Danni from the office. She has been sunning herself in Spain this week leaving me to update twitter, FB, our blog and Ezine. As a result I have got nothing done, but she’ll return tomorrow to feel very much appreciated. I will take the opportunity to make a deliberate faux pas and give away a ladies age. Happy 30th Birthday Danni.

Hollie has been in London attending shows that she will update us all on next week, and the boys have been busily working on updating our Facebook app to give all you lovelies an improved outfit builder. Yeh! I’m glad to see we have started to get entries to our competition to win a Juicy Couture bag, but would like to see more.

We have been getting notices of sales and offers by the droves this week, far too many to mention and we are loving the bargains out there, while it’s great for all you shoppers I’d imagine all those indies out there are however feeling sick by the enforced sales, care of the High Street and major retailers. This I have to say is the most cut price sale period I think I have seen and it is certainly early, great for all those purchasing for summer holidays. We have decided however not to spend hours altering prices on our occasionwear directory as it seems like most of it has gone into sale. So we hope you enjoy the surprise if when you click through to buy you discover it is in sale.

We are looking forward to reporting over the next few weeks about what’s coming into stores and trends for Autumn/winter 2010, my favourite time of year for clothes!

Happy sales shopping ladies. I hope you like my dress choice from French Connection, I’ve snapped up a black one which I intend store and then team with killer heels and a fabulouse cluster bracelet for a christmas party!!! Now that’s planning ahead xxx
