January Blues

By golly gosh its cold outside (and inside). I am longing badly for sunny dry days, the only way I can put up with this winter is, I'm thinking its a trade off for an indian summer. Here's hoping! At lastchancewardrobe we are preparing to bring you a great collection of stylish pieces at affordable prices. There is a great line up of denim, the boyfriend cut is going to stay around and really is very wearable and ideal for spring so grab some while you can. These ones from Earnest Sewn are perfect. Not so perfect are the shorts we have had in, my, oh, my there are some short ones in there. No rush for them until it really hots up!

Golden Globes 2010

Another day spent swooning over the dresses worn by the Hollywood elite at this years Golden Globes awards. Lots of press coverage ensued for the best and worst dressed. I'm not going to mention any badly dressed girls as frankly I didn't think there were any real disasters and it just makes me sound jealous, of what? Looking tall, gorgeous, wearing a couture gown and dripping in stones. No, not jealous at all!
Purple made a strong show from Sandra Bullock and our fav actress Rose Byrne, plus plenty of others wearing lilac. It looked fabulous and is very flattering. Expect to see more of it at the Oscars. Emily Blunt wore a beautiful Dolce and Gabbana dress and Drew Barrymore showed that Spring/Summers nude tones can look the business in her Atelier Versace number. But our favourites had to be 'her with the great genes' Kate Hudson in a stunning structured white dress from Marchesa, she looked radiant and its her confidence that makes this dress work. Also we love Julia Roberts look, she is wearing a vintage YSl number. Many critics have her down as a contender for worst dressed, we have to disagree. She is one of the most beautiful women on the planet, she looks great and the key to this is that she looks comfortable and very, very happy. Lots of fashion observers have noted that her hem is on the knee and that could be too casual for the red carpet. Come on this is 2010, times are changing and the girl can wear what she wants, she's Hollywood royalty. Also we have to draw your attention to Toni Collette not only a winner on the night for Best Actress in a television series but seriously loks great in her Elie Saab creation.

2010 Here we come

Well, we are already half way through the first half of the first month of this new decade. The last two weeks are a bit of a blur. I have vague yet painful memories of lugging lots of boxes up the stairs to our new studio on Christmas Eve, then about 10 days of gluttony, followed by snow, ice and tears when I saw said boxes on my return. We are vaguely organised now(can find the phone!) and ready to set sail for an exciting 2010. We have some great stock for you for S/S 10, as the weather will stop you from wearing it for a while it won't be on the site for a couple of weeks. However we have new items to add on Monday so keep an eye out. Also we will for the first time be including some current season stock, it will have to follow our ethos of being gorgeous and yet not too expensive but pieces that really are worth every penny. Also going on the site will be some of the vintage homewares sold by Vanbeurden at our sample sales, many of you have asked to see them and we like to keep you happy. Our New Years resolutions are to update the blog more, try and spread the word about us a bit further than Sussex! and to keep bringing unusual stylish pieces to you at affordable prices. Please let us know any of your thoughts on these ideas.
