It Takes Two ... Party Dresses

We were searching high and low some great party dresses to create a festive window for our offline shop, The Terrace in Lyme Regis, and found a new, exciting designer who has just launched her first collection this Autumn Winter 2012.

Naomi Tsukishima worked at French Connection as a fashion designer and has now gone solo. Her style is sleek, edgy and stylish and she uses beautiful contemporary shaping and cuts. We fell in love with her collection, so her creations now stars in our Party Dress window.

We chose two totally contrasting dress styles for two different party occasions. One is a sleek dark navy cocktail dress with elaborate beadwork on the cap sleeves and a zip detail up the entire middle of the back. This is an elegant dress which contours the body shape and combined with a pair of slick heels is quite simply stunning.

The other is a cream floaty ruffle dress which is ultra feminine with diaphonous detailing. It is a tiered dress with pleats and beadwork above the bustline. This can either be worn as a short dress or combined as we have with a pair of leggings like the Naomi Tsukishima leather-look stretch leggings.

We hope to be running more of the Naomi Tsukishima range in 2013 to add to our growing range of women's clothing and accessories.

New Romantics

This Autumn/Winter's clothing collection by Danish fashion label, Cream, oozes feminine romance and we think it is their best collection yet. Cream Clothing can be worn both simply or layered to give a more timeless bohemian style. But whatever your look, it is all about the details this season with ruffles, lace, bows, lace, ribbons and embroidery.

Loveithaveit.com has expanded its range significantly, to include not only clothing but also some of Cream's fabulous accessories including leather and suede boots, long socks, belts and scarves. In the Cream clothing range we have selected dresses, cardigans, tops, leggings, blouses and ponchos. We particularly love the little ponchos such as the MARIA (second picture) which can either be teamed up with pretty lace dresses such as the SOIA or with jeans and simple tops such as the AISHA.

Party Heels for Festive Frocks

One of the great things about Christmas and the festive season is the dressing up, whether it's the office party or friends over for dinner on a cold winter's night. We abandon all common sense, don our little party dresses and brave sub zero temperatures and it's all part of the festive fun!

It's the one time of year when we don't need an excuse and revel in the frivolity of sequins, beads and glitter and all practicality goes out the window. And finding that perfect pair of party shoes is the essential finishing touch to our festive finery.

If you're looking for something a little bit different from the usual black party heels, here is a selection from our Autumn Winter  2012 Ruby Shoo collection. Ruby Shoo is a relatively new label which is getting quite a following. They have some of the quirky styling of brands such as Irregular Choice or Poetic License, but are much more affordable with prices starting from £39.95.

Ruby Shoo Black Hepburn, £39.95

Ruby Shoo Black Monroe, £39.95

Ruby Shoo Wine Monroe, £39.95

Ruby Shoo Lace O'Hara, £44.95

Ruby Shoo Red O'Hara, £44.95

Ruby Shoo Purple Wine O'Hara, £44.95

We love the DESIGUAL TRESS TOP from the Desigual Linea range designed in collaboration with flambuoyant fashion designer, Christian Lacroix. The beautiful Desigual Tress top has a black and white print overlaid with a patchwork montage and pink and purple voile flowers. This gives it a very feminine touch. The top looks great teamed up with the DESIGUAL PANT LA PASION TROUSERS for a really eye-catching outfit.

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.
