No sewing required...

We are loving the Great British Sewing Bee here at Eden, especially the alterations challenges.  Now into its third series -it's great how all the contestants chose to transform a garment or piece of fabric into something completely different.  



Unfortunately I don't have as much time as I would like to at the moment to dust off my sewing machine and start some new projects right now.  However by simply adding in your accessories you can change your look (with no sewing skills needed!)

Valentines Love List

Here at Eden we have compiled a few of our favourite pieces in store right now which could be worn for Valentines - or anytime! 
First up is this cream 'Manila' top by Selected Femme. This top looks fab with a chunky statement necklace. This is a great top for so many different events - can be worn to work with smart trousers, dressed up with heels for a night out or worn casually with jeans. 


Secondly is the Marlena tunic dress by Smash. This is proving to be popular in the boutique as it is so wearable as well as being such a gorgeous print in a lovely bright coral red. This dress can take you from day to night - simply team this with tights, ankle boots and a jacket in the day then swap for heels and a clutch for a different look at night.



Another item we are loving right now is this the 'Ollomol' dress from Smash in a really fun and vibrant floral print with a red base. Perfect for the upcoming Summery weather we are hoping for and also can be worn right now by layering it up. 




And last of our picks (but definitely not least!) is this amazing kimono by Selected in a blue and white print. It has a really lovely silky feel fabric with a relaxed fit. Can be worn with a t shirt and jeans for a casual look, or could be layered over a dress worn with heeled boots for more of a dressy look. 


 
Happy Valentines everyone! Love Eden x

Barcelona style...

Having only returned from a wee trip to Barcelona earlier last week, to visit one of our unique brands Malahierba - now fully settled in their new store/showroom (on our last visit they had literally just moved in and were still decorating!)
Malahierba barcelona store interior

AW14 malahierba collection

malahierba store interior aw14 collection

Managed to fit in a little bit of time to chill out too - even though I'm not great with heights I'm glad I was brave enough to go on the big wheel - the views were amazing, although the the one looking down still makes me feel dizzy!







After that a little light refreshment and a tasty bocata was definitely required.



So we are excited that their AW14 collection has just arrived in-store this week!  The stand out pieces for me are this grey belted tunic dress and the mixed fabric print top, but remember stock is limited, so don't miss out.

Get your coat...

This autumn at Eden we have a great selection of coats and jackets, with something to suit all tastes -



This everyday puffa style jacket from B Young is lightweight, practical (a jacket with a hood!) and cosy.  The print gives interest and keeps you on trend too!


This monochrome Coat by B young is warm and stylish at the same time!  Cosy brushed feel to fabric in this bold check style design


The dressy Kling coat has a lovely A-line shape and the bold red colour will bright up the grey skies and cold days of autumn.

This gorgeous coat has an all over leopard print in blue tones instead of more neutral colours for a twist on this classic print.  Step out into the cold with style.


 Take inspiration from the catwalk with this oversized belted coat from Coster Copenhagen.


This Desigual coat is strikingly beautiful inside and out! The lining on this coat is amazing - check it out here! The coat is also very warm...



These 100% waterproof  styles from Protected Species will keep you warm and dry, whatever the weather decides to do this season.  


Which is your favourite?
