EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN UP TO IN MAY

June 4, 2024

In-store events, exciting new collections, a showcase in Milan and a road trip to Scotland. Take a look at everything we have been up to in May over on our socials and in the highlights below.

AN EXCLUSIVE SHOPPING EVENT

Caroline and Beanie were thrilled to be a part of the exclusive shopping event at the lovely Moda Rosa Boutique, back at the beginning of May.

It was such a wonderful event showcasing Oldstrom brands including Dea Kudibal, Valérie Khalfon and Caroline Svedbom.

WINTER 24 AND PRE-SPRING 25 COLLECTIONS

This month we have been introducing our customers to beautiful new collections from both Dea Kudibal and Mei MeiJ. Both collections include transitional pieces that will help to refresh rails between the Christmas and early New Year period.

A TRIP TO MILAN

Caroline and Julie got to preview the Mei MeiJ Pre-spring 25 collection during a flying, 24-hour trip to Milan. They also managed to fit in a little sight-seeing and of course, stopped long enough to sit and enjoy some pizza and Aperol Spritz.

A SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP

Lois and Julia spent a week up in Scotland, visiting our lovely stockists and lots of new stores. It was a very productive trip and the girls thoroughly enjoyed their time up in such a beautiful part of the UK.

A 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!

The team at Gunnel’s Fashion Marbella had their 20th Anniversary this May. They celebrated the milestone in the best way possible, with a big party including a presentation from Caroline Svedbom and a fabulous, multi-brand fashion show.

Caroline was excited to attend the event in Marbella and saw so many of our brands highlighted throughout the day!

Spring Style You Need in Your Suitcase This Easter Break

February 20, 2023

Whether you’re going to be soaking up the sun in St.Tropez, walking the charming cobbled streets of Venice or exploring the British countryside this Easter, we have curated the perfect wardrobe for your upcoming vacation.

For the Stylish Sun-Seeker…

A trip to St. Tropez means unwinding on a sunbed, drinking cocktails and perhaps even taking a yacht trip across the French Riviera. Dea Kudibal’s stretch-silk, twill Adelaide dress in the print Anemone plum is the perfect lightweight yet stylish must-have for your suitcase.

Since no outfit is ever complete without jewellery, we recommend pairing this with Caroline Svedbom’s Demi earrings. For extra glitz stack together the mini twisted bracelet and miro bangle too. This gorgeous array of pastel Swarovski crystals will glitter against St.Tropez’s glistening sun and crystal-clear waters.

For accessorising Campomaggi’s gorgeous Edera bag is your wicker basket upgrade – the basket-look but made premium. Finish the look with Kennel & Schmenger’s Hot pink sandals, however we would suggest saving these luxury shoes for exploring the boutiques of St.Tropez versus the beach!

For the Chic City Chaser…

Not everyone enjoys basking in the sun, some enjoy discovering a beautiful city like Venice and exploring its winding streets, culture and history.

We suggest keeping it simple yet bold with the Cindy blazer and Rihanna trousers colour-blocking statement suit from Dea Kudibal. Then because layering is key to a city trip, pair this with an Avena blouse in natural white (THE summer must-have to complement that sun-kissed glow)!

Since any city trip requires lots of walking, dress this look down during the day with a pair of Kennel & Schmenger sneakers, featuring a matching pop of green. Tie the whole outfit together with Dea Kudibal’s Bella tote bag in Deuce Parakeet which is the perfect lightweight yet spacious option for when you are on the go.

Now while in Venice you simply must visit Harry’s bar the home of the Bellini and to make sure you sparkle alongside those bubbles, complete this classic look with Caroline Svedbom’s crystal Delia earrings, Peony necklace and Daria ring.

For the Elegant English Escape…

Not all of us will be jetting away this Easter break, some of us are happiest exploring the beautiful, rural landscape here in the UK. From Cornwall to the Cotswolds, the UK has so many stunning coastal and countryside locations to explore.

This type of holiday requires a little more planning due to the unpredictability of the British Springtime weather – but who said practicality meant sacrificing style!

So, for your English staycation, we suggest starting off with a wardrobe staple, Tomorrow Denim Anne jeans in the Boston wash. Pair these jeans with Dea Kudibal’s Drew shirt in denim blue which features floral embroidery embodying the British springtime. Layer with the Van Kukil Katij Cashmere jumper in the shade Corniche Grey (no pun intended) to keep you cosy and comfortable.

If you need to combat those April showers, we suggest tying this look together with high-quality BRGN pieces which feature technical design elements and are 100% waterproof. The BRGN Kuling Poncho in the shade Sand is the perfect functional yet fashionable jacket. Pair this with BRGN’S lilac Chelsea boots and lilac banana bag to add a pop of spring colour to your outfit.

Since Amethyst is the gemstone for February, let’s continue with the lilac theme, with Carré jewellery’s beautiful gold-plated earrings and necklace because who said a UK staycation had to be devoid of glamour.
