Getting Skirty for Summer.

16 May

The sun is out! Quick! Rifle through your drawers and wardrobes, dig out those skirts, get those pins out and run to the beach with a picnic hamper filled with treats immediately.

Ok, so maybe it’s not quite hot enough for sans tights shenanigans quite yet. BUT the weather is a’turning and it’s time to snap up some new skirts in preparation for those summer funtimes.

A hot tip for your skirt purchases is to go midi. The great thing about midi skirts is that a) they look lovely & swishy and b) they are a tad more practical than wearing a mini skirt, especially on slightly windy days. Wear with brogues and ankle socks to the office and switch to sandals for the weekend.

We have a lovely selection of midi skirts available on our ASOS marketplace, so take a peek…

Or if online shopping ain’t your thing, why not pop along to our next vintage pop up shop on Saturday 16th June. 11-4pm. Free entry and a huge array of vintage treats. To keep reminded of our events you can follow us on facebook here or join the vintage pop up shop event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/438879156141457/

What We’re Wearing. No 2.

30 Mar

Spring has officially sprung at Super+Super HQ. Whether it’s a frock, a vest top, a jumper or our nails we are all about pretty pastels this week. Pastels are where it’s at this season. Whether it’s chiffon, cotton or denim, the colours will be tastier than a sweetshop with sugary shades of pink, pale blue, mint green and lilac. Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton took the lead on the runways with lovely pastel colours and high street shops are already doing the same. Get some in your capsule wardrobe this spring!

Amy is wearing vintage high waisted chinos and pale blue roll neck jumper complete with beehive to boot. HELLO Dynasty! Claire is sporting a floral number bought from Beyond Retro on Vine Street, Brighton last summer.

What we’re wearing…Week 1

6 Feb

Each week us Super+Super gals will be putting our own little spin on Vogues ‘Today I’m Wearing‘ by showing you what trends we’re rocking that week. Notoriously known for ‘freestyle’ outfits, you never know what we’re going to pull out of the bag. It’s literally like a fashion lucky dip. Yet you don’t get a prize. Sorry about that…

So for the past week, we’ve been knee deep in vintage, sorting out our stock ready for our grand opening and as such Amy has embraced the tweeds and Claire has now decided to channel the 90′s and go all ‘Clarissa Explains it All’ on your asses. (Let’s face it, she was already resembling Blossom but this is totally next level…)

Amy:

You’ll most likely be as happy as we are that Tweeds are no longer just residing in the countryside or amongst the ‘older gentlemen’. The heritage trend is even bigger this year then it was last year and little jackets like this one nipped in with a belt resemble a fab forties style. One key trend this season is mixing your prints and fabrics which is exactly what Amy is doing here. She has mixed the jacket with a tweed pencil skirt and a flash of colour to create a super cute little forties style ensemble that is bang on trend.

Claire:

Whereas Amy is understated country chic, Claire is just all out 90′s. The 90s trend is MASSIVE this season and it’s set to continue all through the year. Technically 90′s doesn’t quite come under the ‘vintage’ category but it’s secondhand style at its very best. Think dungarees, oversized jumpers, crop tops and layering.

Roll up. Roll up. It’s competition time.
