New Year: New Wardrobe (Choice store Article)

It’s that time of year when the sales are over, Still trying to keep our New Years Resolutions alive….Well my NO Alcohol ended on Jan 2nd but shhhh it’s a working progress. So New Year, New Diet, New Job/Promotion/ New Aims and aspirations you name it its happening. For us at Choice Ltd Change is happening everyday as we continue to grow with the support of our forever growing customers. The newest change is a Bitter Sweet one…. Karam our Graphics designer and; Darren Ezekiel our Ecommerce manager are leaving the company both have decided to take Career breaks and go travelling. Karma is currently climbing over the Sydney Oprah house whilst Darren is getting ready to go on his travels around India. The sweet part of the deal is we do have a new addition to the team. I would like to introduce our new Ecommerce manager ‘Emily’ and; her cute dog Dillon.

Ok now back to the point in hand. We are preparing to enter into a new fashion season which happens to be my Fashion Favourite its called Spring/Summer. This is the period of the year when you can experiment with bold colours; Play with different textures and fabrics. You can Rock the old wardrobe (revamp) but incorporate with the new trends and it can only translate into a style haven.

Ladies
Key attributes for Spring/Sumer 11 is to incorporate key signature pieces...

  • Bold Colours
  • Fringing Detail
  • Tribal Prints
  • Crocket/ Knitted cropped jumpers
  • Wedged Shoes
  • Maxi dresses


Key attributes for Spring/Summer 11 is to incorporate key signature pieces
We are also happy to scream about this new Fuchsia Barbour Coat which is a Spring/Summer must have. It’s bright in colour but chic and; classy for the cooler evenings and summer nights.


Barbour flyweight international jacket
Men's

The College Prep style is a trend that we saw emerging in the Autumn/Winter 10 Collection but we are happy to say its has continued to resonate through with designers.

A key understanding of SS11 is the practicality of the wardrobe. This is an understanding that the Male consumer behaviour identifies. Men like to buy practical garments that have a purpose i.e A T-shirt to be worn with many pairs of different jeans, Tracksuit for a sporting occasion and a pair of Chino’s to match the many checked shirts that you own. Khaki Cotton Chino’s are a Spring/Summer 11 ESSENTIAL!

Brit Award gets Facelift



The Annual Music Awards is fast approaching.....Brit Awards 2011- Its set to be one of the best reason being A LOT  of UK/ British Acts will be performing, Not to be over shadowed by American performers but REAL BRITISH TALENT MATE (Said in a Cockney accent, Do a little giggle jiggle dance).
The main ceremony, which is being presented by James Corden, will be screened live on ITV1 on Tuesday 15 February.


It appears that the iconic Gong as we know it (All Gold) has been restyled and had a fashion makeover by the Iconic Punk Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood- Also one of my fave designers.

''Speaking about her involvement, Brits Chairman David Joseph said: "Vivienne stands for all the things we want to inspire in tomorrow’s generation of artists. She continues to be unique, innovative not to mention massively inspired by music and vice versa. We are honoured she accepted our offer of designing 2011’s trophy." -  http://new.uk.music.yahoo.com/blogs/behind_the_music/46125/vivienne-westwoods-brit-award-design-unveiled/

Vivienne has redesigned the gong with her fashion eclectic versatile style. What do you think?
Old Brit Vs New Brit
Personally I love the new design it looks Iconic, Stand 4 more than a normal award- It has the flag on it so if a State side Artist wins it will be significant in there home as it will cause a lot of conversation

Picture this: Your in Rihanna's home in Barbados with her Cousin Fenty

Cousin Fenty: Ey Ri Ri, Was that you have pitched pon ya shelve?
 
Rihanna: Well it another one of my rewards from England, I was fortunate to win Best Album of 2010 and the lovely award was presented to me by the Best stylist Simone Karma Rae... The Award was designed by her favorite designer Viviene Westwood. Nice don't you think gurl?

Cousin Fenty: Woi its so nooooice, i might have to go to England and find me a Vivienne Westwood Bag can you imagine her style. Ri Ri you go gurl! Represent across the world.


Good Luck to all the nominees and i wonder who will be designer the Brit Award for next year??? any Suggestions?

Rebelle Fleur- New Fragrance by Rihanna

Rihanna
Island spice and all things nice- Along side Fashion I am a parfum addict, I love new Eau de Toilettes, Parfums, Perfumes if it smells good I have to have it!

Now its only right that rihanna is a Beautiful succesful music artist, soon to be actress when she finishes filming her first ever movie. AND now she has doned her own Eau de toilette. Nicely entitled 'Rebelle Fleur'. The perfume is to be launced around valentines day Feb 2011 and I will be first in line even if it means i have to jump on a plane to my fav city Paris or New York.

Advertising
Rihanna is not shy of the camera and the images are so sexy. Rihanna has come into her own over the years. The feminine cream rose adds a innocence to the campaign but the feisty red hair and exposure of the navel adds the grown sexy touch it requires. The blazer with rolled up sleeves suggest she has just placed it on after some 'Activity' maybe?  The photographer has captured her colourful eyes and her not looking directly at the camera captivates the audience to join in her thought. I really do love the playful sexy advertising of the perfume and it comes in a sexy bottle with ribbon detail. I hope it smells as good as it looks.

'The intensely fruity fragrance contains notes of red berries, plum and peach, Hawaiian hibiscus flower, coconut water and violet, and has been created to reflect Rihanna's roots in Barbados and current life in New York and LA.' - Taken from Vogue.com 
Rebelle Fleur Bottle



I hope Rihanna's fragrance is along the same lines of Beyonce's- True Star & Heat with strong decadent essence that's long  lasting and refreshing.

What makes a successful perfume?

Well I am no Perfumer by trade but I do appreciate that it does take time and effort to make the right 'Fragrance' Here is some tips

1. It can't be too overpowering and sickly like Anais Anais by Cacherel, Glow by J-Lo

2. Strong enough to be immediately recognised - Issey Miyake, Million by Paco Rabonne, Narciso Rodriguez and CK one

3. The branding and packaging has to sell the fragrance- Jean Paul Gaultier, Channel, Angel by Thierry Muglar, Harajuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani


Saying that I think Rihanna has it covered:

Rebelle Fleur Packaging
Price Point: I believe this fragrance will retail for around £45.00- £60.00 depending on size.

Happy Smelling :-)

Hot for 2011 & beyond Wretch 32

Wretch 32

2010 has seen the emergence of some real great UK Talent, As you know I FULLY support UK talent all day everyday but I only support the BEST.


I need your helping making my wish come true. This will take literally 4 seconds of your minute, within your 24 hour day......Please vote for my friend Jermaine Aka Wretch 32, He has been nominated in the Blackberry Presents Brand New for 2011

'Now’s the time to make your voice heard music fans as MTV and Blackberry prepare to see who YOU think will be the brightest star of next year! Last year you voted in your thousands to crown Justin Bieber the winner, but who will get your vote for 2011?'

 Click here to vote



Behind Mr Wretch 32
This talented individual has been my friend from when my hair was natural and I was not addicted to the creamy crack (Hair Relaxer).The best way to describe Wretch 32 is a outgoing, inspirational individual who in my opinion is lyrically a intellect of metaphors and flows. Jermaine is also a great actor and is Funny as hell (If you ever interview him ask him about the Eurosocket pronounced Ur-ro-zock- it. My favorite subject at school and college was English Language and literature, To see Wretch 32 bring alive words and metaphors, Similes, Onomatopoeia's the way he does is just beyond me. Wretch 32 is literally a wordsmith, the Modern day Shakespeare. I find myself listening and taking in his words rather than hearing the beat, Wretch 32 could do spoken word poetry and take us all on a personal journey - I could go on for days about his use of word play that if only most had the appreciation of the 'English language' like I do would know exactly what I mean and identify with his 'CERTIFIED' genius. 

Wretch 32 is not new to the 'Underground' music scene and has been grafting for a very long time. After a lot of hard work he has managed to secure a label deal and his music is reaching the 'overground' masses. For me to hear his music being played on Radio 1 (A List, Record of the week) is heart warming because again I know the battles and adversity he has faced. Ever being the fighter that he is, Wretch 32 has continued to keep pursuing his goals whilst being a father and a friend to most.

2010/2011 is going to be a phenomenal year for Jermaine and all I ask is that you take the time and help support him to GAIN the recognition that he truly deserves.

So please just take the time and help this young man achieve not only his dream but the dream's of many!
