Yummy Melt Candles

So the shop smells amazing at the moment because of the Melt candles that came in last week. They are now even more beautifully packaged than they were last time, so would make great gifts.

They are hand made in Britain - lovingly hand poured in  Lancashire.

We have 5 fragrances:

Rich Cream - Like a very fine woody aftershave with a floral twist and some gentle spice.

Verbena & Clary Sage - A wonderfully fresh yet rich combination of verbena leaves, silver lavender and clary sage top notes. (This is my favourite!)

Shine - Fresh & zingy grapefruit. Clean and sharp. (My second favourite!)

Neroli & Rose Geranium - A beautiful creamy quality to this frangrance which is top notes of orange flower, sweet pea and freesia.

Angel - Rich, round, musky and slightly choclatey.

If only you could download fragrances!

Yohji Yamamoto

We were really lucky last week when we decided out of the blue to take a trip to London to see the Yohji Yamamoto exhibition at the V&A before it finished, as we managed to get tickets for his Fashion in Motion show held in the Raphael Gallery.

The event featured Yamamoto's spring/summer 2011 collection, including menswear which was inspired by the V&A's textile archives.
The garments were modelled by real life couples, an idea he first incorperated into his 1999 S/S menswear show.
Yamamoto became internationally renowed in the early 80's for challenging traditional notions of fashion by designing garments that seemed oversized or unfinished, he is also known for his unusual pattern cutting and frequent and skilful use of black, a colour which he describes as "modest and arrogant at the same time".
So for those of you that sadly wouldn't have had chance to see the exhibition here's some of the highlights,
and for most of us who can't afford Yamamoto take a good look at Ivan Grundahl, inspiration is everywhere.
