Giles Deacon Evoke Jewellery Collection Available At H.Samuel

H.Samuel has launched a brand new collection designed by award-winning British fashion designer Giles Deacon for the Evoke range of jewellery. This is his first ever high street jewellery collection and includes nine stunning pieces that are exclusive to H.Samuel. All of the fabulous rings, pendants and earrings in the Giles Deacon Evoke collection feature Swarovski crystals for an extra dash of glamour.

The exclusive selection includes stud earrings, pendants and bracelets with white and black crystal balls, a selection of stylish caged hearts, plus the safety pin design which includes a necklace and brooch. The collection is both fun and fashionable.

The inspiration behind the designer jewellery range encapsulates three different themes. Giles explained: “The first is based on the play of optical black and white – I love the graphic simplicity and strong impact. The second range is based on the solar planet system, small stellar constellations cluster in rings, necklaces and earrings. The third is motif based with skulls with heart-eyes, ring pulls, cherry skulls and safety pins giving an edgy, playful feel.”

He went on to say, “Jewellery is becoming so much more important in fashion… I think the woman who will wear the collection is fashion conscious with a sense of humour and loves to accessorise her outfits”.

Giles Deacon is one of the most successful and celebrated British fashion designers. He graduated from Central Saint Martins in London in the early 1990s, went on to design for Jean Charles De Castelbajac, Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren amongst others and was named British Designer of the Year 2007. His celebrity clients have included Kylie Minogue and Kate Moss.

He summed up the attitude captured in his designs,”Hopefully, if you saw someone wearing one of our frocks you’d think she looks quite interesting to have a chat with and say hello to. They’re a bit ‘We’re on, we’re out, we mean business'”. The same applies to his jewellery.

Boots Has Become The Exclusive Dealer Of Fragrance House Girard

In the early 1920s it was the French fine fragrance houses that dominated the market, especially once Chanel No.5 was launched in 1921. However, a British fragrance house, Girard, had been popular since the turn of the century, and now approximately one hundred years after it first went on sale, the brand has been revived with Boots becoming the exclusive stockist of Girard.

The original Girard was a modern brand, sitting alongside contemporaries such as Chanel, Floris and Penhaligons, with some of its advertising illustrated by Gladys Peto, a member of the legendary Bloomsbury Set. At its height, Girard offered fifteen different fragrances and now some of these original recipes have been reconstructed to form part of the new range.

Two original recipes from the 1920s have been reinvigorated and will be launched as a celebration of the brand’s heritage. Bouquet d’Orient is a rich spicy oriental fragrance with top notes of Bergamot, Lemon and Neroli giving way to a floral heart of Rose, Ylang Ylang and French Violet Leaves to name but a few. These all rest on a warm resinous mélange including Madagascan Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Myrrh and a hint of Patchouli. In contrast Lysval is a floral perfume with a cascade of flowers including Ylang Ylang, Indian Jasmine, Rose petals and Orange blossom, supported by a particularly French base which contributes to a Springtime floral essence.

The lead perfumer on the project was Beverley Bayne at CPL Aromas. She said of Girard: “The challenge was to update the fragrance, keeping as close to the original signature as possible whilst still appealing to the modern nose. These fragrances are like fine French wine – the charm of them is that they are meant to be savoured and have great depth.”

Because Girard was always such a contemporary fragrance house, it is only fitting that some new fragrances enter the fold on its relaunch. Three additional fragrances have been created to accompany the original recipes, all evoked by some of women’s favourite destinations around the world – Bali Sunrise, New York Nights and Provence Spring. Bali Sunrise is a luscious green, floral and fruity fragrance, New York Notes focuses on a citrus top note with warm base whilst Provence Springs is a fresh floral perfume.

Girard Brand Development Manager, Helen Tarver said: “The beauty of archives is that you never know what you’re going to find. When I found a whole batch of original recipes and marketing materials in the archives I felt instantly excited that I had found some “buried treasure” that was worth resurrecting.”

Clinique Has Launched Superdefense SPF25 Age Defense Moisturiser, The Most Complete Protection Against The Four Major Culprits Of Premature Aging

Clinique Laboratories, at the forefront of skin care research, has launched a new innovation in anti-aging skin care. Introducing New Superdefense SPF25 Age Defense Moisturiser, proven to help counteract the negative and visible impacts of stress on the skin.

Research from Clinique into the effects of stress on the skin confirms that internal stress ages skin in a similar way to external stresses like sun and pollution, causing premature aging. When a persons body is under stress, it releases stress hormones which can cause irritation and a loss of immune function in the skin, this then weakens the skins moisture barrier and can contribute to the visible signs of aging.

New Superdefense SPF25 Age Defense Moisturiser uses new patented skin care technology designed to defend against the effects of emotional and psychological stress on the skin. Red Microalgae Extract, a patented “stress-neutralising” sea extract is part of the anti-aging formula to help skin neutralise the appearance of lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

In addition, an advanced innovative sun screen formula offers protection from UVB and UVA rays whilst antioxidants help protect against external aggressors such as pollution. Clinique’s unique Immune Protection Factor formula also works to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier function, maintain its own natural collagen production and also increase the skin’s natural immunity. Skin has never been so protected against the signs of premature aging.

With three skin-typed formulas there is an anti-aging cream for every skin type. The Very Dry to Dry formula is a luxurious cream for immediate comfort. The Dry Combination formula is a soft cream that leaves skin hydrated and protected. The Combination Oily to Oily formula is an ultra-lightweight cream that offers refreshing hydration and a light, comfortable feel.

New Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturiser can be applied every morning afterClinique 3-Step routine and is the perfect partner to Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturiser for around the clock anti-aging skin care protection.

Like all Clinique makeup and skin care New Superdefense SPF25 Age Defense Moisturiser is 100% Fragrance Free, Allergy Tested.

Available at Clinique.co.uk from 2nd October 2008

Today, Clinique’s mission remains what it was from the beginning: to provide the highest quality and most effective collection of products to enhance every skin type and tone.

Boots.com partnered with multi-channel experts utilising IBM’s WebSphere Commerce platform implemented by Steria, in partnership with Europe’s leading WSC systems integrator, Salmon. The customer-led design was managed by London based digital agency, Grand Union.

The site’s new platform will also greatly increase Boots.com’s advice and information capabilities.

Burton Announces Their New Heritage Collection, A Stylish Range Of Quality Contemporary Suiting, Born Out Of A Passion For Traditional Tailoring Methods

Burton, the leading UK menswear retailer, has announced their new Heritage collection. This latest range of stylish quality contemporary suiting is born out of the long held Burton passion for traditional tailoring methods. The collection will be featured in selected stores and online throughout the UK this autumn alongside Burton’s mainline and concession tailoring.

Burton has sought to ensure attention to detail is key throughout the Heritage collection.

These latest mens jackets feature a half canvas construction which forms to the body to give the wearer more comfort. The fabric selections reflect a strong attention to detail with the use of traditional Prince of Wales check and pin stripes inspired by the Burton mens clothing archives.

The suits are made from pure merino wool and woven in the British mill first used by Montague Burton over 70 years ago and feature intricate detailing such as trouser brace buttons and an embroidered Burton “B” on the under collar.

Montage Burton once said, “Good clothes develop a man’s sense of self respect”, and the Heritage collection continues his legacy by offering a superior garment at an accessible price.

Displaysense discover illegal stowaway, as a standard product return ends in a hair raising experience

Displaysense the UK’s leading supplier of retail displays usually does not have to worry about illegal stowaways, but got quite a shock at the beginning of August as one of their products was inadvertently returned with an unexpected traveller on board.

The company which sells a wide range of retail display products from literature holders to display cases deal with returns on a daily basis and it was business as usual until one customer returned more than just their undesired product.

The customer, a clothes shop owner who lives in Lille, France, returned a mannequin on a next day courier service after purchasing the wrong gender of display and unbeknown to him, accidentally returned his pet cat as well.

It is believed that the cat must have been quite taken by the packaging used for the mannequin, climbed inside the box and fell asleep. The owner didn’t realise this when he re-sealed the box and the cat then endured a 200 mile journey and arrived at theDisplaysense head office destination in Hertfordshire, England.

Upon opening the box, the warehouse staff got quite a shock as a cat burst out of the box and hid behind some of the companies flat pack glass display cabinets.

Luckily the cat was eventually coaxed out and inspected for any injuries. Stuart Parnis the Warehouse manager at Displaysense described the young cat as being a little shaken by the experience but seemed to be enjoying all the attention and products around the warehouse, with lots of boxes and display cabinets to climb in and investigate. It is believed that the cat simply climbed inside the mannequin box as its owner repackaged the unwanted retail display.

A blue collar was found around the cats neck and it turns out she was affectionately named “etoile” which is the French for “Star”, accompanied by a return address clearly written on her collar. After Star had calmed down and eaten some food, the customer was contacted and made arrangements for the cat to be collected.

Stuart Parnis commented “It is true what they say, cats really must have 9 lives, but at least Displaysense were around to give its next life the purrrr-fect start.”

Boots.Com Launches A Campaign Of Unique Beauty Competitions With Priceless Prizes

Everyone loves the chance to win something for nothing and so boots.com has launched a campaign of alluring beauty competitions to celebrate its ‘Biggest Ever Beauty Event’.

Boots.com has given itself a makeover for a beautiful new look and to celebrate has launched its ‘Biggest Ever Beauty Event’. As part of this, every day for the next month, the site will feature inspirational beauty competitions including once in a lifetime prizes such as winning front row seats to a show at London Fashion Week, or receiving a make-over with ’10 Years Younger’ presenter Nicky Hambleton-Jones.

However, the beauty event itself is about much more than inspirational competitions. It includes access to beauty advice, great new looks and beauty tips from a whole host of industry experts, such as hairdresser James Brown, friend and hair stylist to Kate Moss. One of James’ top tips is: “I never spray hairspray directly onto the hair. I spray it onto the tips of my fingers and rub it into the scalp where I want to create volume – on the crown and sides. To smooth hair, spray it onto the palms of your hand, rub together and then use your hands as tools to smooth flyaways down the hair.”

The event comes at the perfect time; September sees London Fashion Week which not only showcases next season’s fashions, but also the models don make-up looks likely to dominate the industry for the seasons to come.

Amanda Howard, Head of Content for boots.com said: “We know Autumn can often be overlooked for beauty; there are obviously huge stories around getting ready for summer and by November people are starting to think about their Christmas looks. But in-between, Autumn is really important – not only do we get sneak previews of next season’s influences from Fashion Week, but the weather is changing and women can start to see it affect their hair and skin. Our customers have told us that they are desperate for advice and inspiration, so we wanted to give them exactly what they have asked for.”

This biggest ever beauty event simply heralds the changes to content that will be seen on a regular basis on the new boots.com. The new site will see the same depth of health and beauty products as ever but now sitting alongside editorial content, such as ‘how to’ demonstration videos and hints and tips that can be incorporated into everyday routines. To add even more expertise, the site now has its own Beauty editor, Katie Campbell, previously deputy beauty editor of Grazia. Katie will be writing a daily beauty blog to bring readers previews of up and coming launches, product reviews and all her inner thoughts and inspiration on all things beauty.

Fabric Shower Curtains And Matching Window Valances From Tole Tray Are Making It Easier To Decorate Bathrooms

For many years, consumers had to struggle with finding a window treatment for their bathroom that would compliment a newly purchased shower curtain. Not having a window treatment would give the impression of an unfinished decorated bathroom, so searching endlessly store to store for a complimentary color in a valance or panels became the norm. Others chose to purchase two shower curtains, using the second one to sew their own window valance or panels. Many desired a unique fabric shower curtain that would reflect their own personal style, only to be disappointed by common selections. Tole Tray provides an alternative to wasting time and aggravation by creating beautiful vintage inspired fabric shower curtains and offering matching window valances with every design, making it easier to complete and enhance the look of any bath décor.

Tole Tray fabric shower curtains and window valances are digitally printed, allowing the designs to come alive on fabric with their vibrancy of colors. The shower curtains measure 72 inches square and the sewn button holes can accommodate most decorative shower hooks. Window valances measure 58 inches wide by 15 inches long, fitting bathroom windows between 35 and 45 inches wide. Tole Tray bathroom accessories are machine washable and proudly made in the USA.

Tole Tray’s Co-Founder, Susan Sotkovsky says, “We feel our company is bringing innovation to a staple bathroom accessory and more importantly, Tole Tray is committed to make decorating bathrooms easier by offering matching window valances with every design.” Tole Tray LLC will be exhibiting their products at the NJ Fall Home Show at the Meadowlands Expo Center Oct. 3 -5, 2008. “It’s an exciting time for us and we’re looking forward to being there and meeting everyone.”, says Susan.

City Sackers Online Grocery Store Looks To Provide Fast, Reliable And Inexpensive Grocery Delivery To Austinites

Now all citizens of the greater Austin area are able to shop for thousands of groceries, without leaving their home. City Sackers Inc., an Austin based online grocery store, looks to revolutionize the way Austinites live and go about their daily errands.

City Sackers has compiled thousands of items into their website’s database to better serve the needs of their customers. Almost any and all varieties of general items found in a grocery store can also be found at their website. In addition to these grocery items, City Sackers has also included numerous organic, household, fitness, and pet products into their inventory.

To many Austinites, the rigors of school or work encompass the majority of their daytime. After the day’s responsibilities have been fulfilled, the last thing anyone wants to do is fight through the crowded lines and aisles of a grocery store. Instead, potential customers can now simply log onto www.citysackers.com and select the groceries they want delivered to their door. Schedule a time that is most convenient for the groceries to be delivered and City Sackers will bring them right to your doorstep. Its that simple.

The underlying benefit of City Sackers is the convenience they bring to their customers. Those without cars would have to comply with rising cab fares in order to get to and from their local grocery store. And most mass transit available in Austin is not conducive to people bringing fresh groceries. With both of those options, people must comply with the schedule of the transporter in order to accomplish their grocery shopping. With City Sackers, they will adjust to your convenience and your schedule.

Competitive product prices and low delivery cost make City Sackers online grocery delivery a true asset to those living in Austin.
