Winter Dreams with Desigual

There is something fantastical about Desigual's fashion collections and the new 2011 Autumn Winter Desigual Dream collection on www.loveithaveit.com is no exception. Our first few styles have arrived with more due in September.

Desigual breaks the mold but Spain has always had its own distinctive fashion sense and that's why so many Spanish fashion labels appeal to us at loveithaveit. Whilst there is a very traditional side to Spain, traditional Spanish dress has always been flamboyant and colourful, reflecting the passionate Spanish culture. 

Since the 16th century Spain has been known for its fashion and elegance. The fabrics used for making traditional clothes were rich and heavy with embellishments in metallic threads and jewels. The Moorish culture was also a heavy influence, using rich embroidery and beadwork.

Modern day Spain is known for its modern art, cutting edge architectural designs and daring fashion labels. And Desigual fits into this with its strong modern identity, edgy design and aspirational appeal.

Loveithaveit took on the Desigual brand just as it was emerging in the UK and was one of the first to sell it online. It has grown from a brand that a well kept secret to one with a large international following.

New Hultquist Jewellery To Treasure

There are some pieces of jewellery that you wear again and again and  you just never tire of them. For me, a few of my favourite pieces are from the Hultquist jewellery collection. Somehow, they seem timeless and unlike much of the fashion jewellery about these days, I know it will last more than two outings!

This summer's new Hultquist collection on www.loveithaveit.com is no exception. Whilst it picks up on some of the 2011 summer fashion jewellery trends, the pieces are both feminine and enduring.

Natural inspirations such as leaves, seeds, shells, pods, sea creatures and bugs along with ethnic look materials such as natural beads and semi-precious stones are all used in this beautiful and original collection. The Hultquist jewellery is silver or gold plate which is often worked to give it a look of antiquity.

Loveithaveit.com has a selection of jewellery carefully chosen from three Hultquist ranges including Relic, Bohemian Journey and Sea Treasures. Bracelets and necklaces can be mixed and matched from the collections, all complementing each other.

Established in 1980, Anne Hultquist and her team are now based in a workshop in Copenhagen where their beautiful jewellery is handmade. Her feminine and bohemian fashion jewellery is influenced by the classical Scandinavian look, which aims to express individualism and style, jewellery that is inspired by the wonderful mixture of different cultures from past, present and future.
