SHOPPING MADE EASIER WITH THE FARFETCH BOUTIQUE FINDER

Are you one of those people that sees everything when you’re just “window shopping” (broke), but when you have some serious coin to spend or you actually need something (for an occasion or a new coat for Autumn) you can’t find a thing? Used to happen all the time, if you love in shopping for fashion as much as we do, you’ll love the Farfetch Boutique Finder.

As much as online stores try to make online shopping easy with their built in filters and cool seasonal edits, online shopping can quickly turn into somewhat of a mundane task.

This Boutique Finder makes online shopping effortless because the nifty gadget is able to deliver personalised shopping results for men and women, directing you to the best boutiques that stock all of your most favoured styles and brands.

The widget is pretty self explanatory; start by picking your gender (male/female); then the look which best describes you (or the you, you want to be that day); choose the item you want to shop for; then your top designer (from the list provided); et voila, the recommended boutiques pop up!

Our favourite thing about it, the illustrations, they’re fresh, modern and directional (it’s the little things that get us). We’ve been playing with it for a few days now and love the things it’s throwing our way!

LACOSTE END OF SUMMER PEOPLE AND THE POLO PARTY

Last Thursday we attended the Lacoste End of Summer People and the Polo Party over in East London, to celebrate the heritage of the polo and the ‘Joie de Vivre’ spirit of the brand!

AW14 sees Lacoste collaborate with lifestyle blog Yin & Yang to capture twelve select influencers wearing the polo their way; a genuine and authentic style in a locations personal to them. The select twelve represent ‘the People’… Those characters who influence through a personal sense of style that transcends fashion. People who inspire through their art and their daily judgement as we venture across different industries and genres.

Mixing those who influence behind the scenes – the early adopters, whose vision is seen by many and enlighten the masses with their originality. Stronger than their differences is their aspirational creativity – a thread that weaves them together as tightly as LACOSTE’S iconic polo!

People in attendance: Ella Eyre, Shadez the Misfit, Sasha Keable, Little Simz, Hayden Williams, Giggs, Hatty Keane, Chloe Howl, and more.

We drank Rum & Ginger Beers and enjoyed the revolutionised flavours of French food with catering by Le Bun. Fries and Truffled Garlic Mayo accompanied Le Bourguignon Bun, Le Duck Frites Bun and Le Chèvre Bun sliders.

Guests listened to music by DJ’s: Ralph Hardy and Jamz Supernova and a live performance by musician Little Simz .
