I’m verrry excited to share with you a little sneak preview of Achica.com’s incredible watch sale starting next week. I have written about Achica before on the blog, but if you don’t know them, Achica is a members-only home & lifestyle discount website, which does daily sales lasting for just 48 hours. Every so often they have amazing fashion sales, like the Chanel vintage jewellery one a few months back, and now they’re back with another winner.
I have always loved the Hermès wrap watches, as they’re such a timeless classic. They somehow seem to transcend age and trends – I know girls my age and I know women my mom’s age who have one of these and they all look supernice wearing them. If like me you don’t like wearing too much jewellery around the wrist, a wrap watch takes care of your watch or bracelet dilemma.
A selection of the Hermès watches goes on sale on Feb 4th at 7am (there’s a great purple strap one in there), with some for the boys as well (by Bremont and Technomarine), all at up to 50% off. Perfect Valentine’s Day gift if ever I saw one.
So this is a little bit last minute, but I’ve been given 2 tickets to tomorrow’s (Jan 26th) big party to celebrate Kipling’s 25th anniversary.
To kick off the celebrations, Kipling have chosen 8 artists from all around the world for a product remix project. The project, called “Play with Bags”, saw the artists take some Kipling classics, and cut, sewed, twisted and moulded them into little works of art. The bags were then captured by Belgian photographer Alex Salinas, and the 8 visuals will be unveiled tomorrow at the exclusive party in London, with DJ sets by Sunday Girl, Margot Bowman and T4 presenter Georgie.
Because I’m still on my detox retreat, I can’t go myself, but the lovely folks at Kipling have given me the tickets to offer to one of my readers. If you’re a Kipling fan, free, in London and fancy a party, send me an email on me@alexloves.com and I’ll get the first person to respond (and a friend) on the guestlist for the event tomorrow!
The new and long-awaited KARL by Karl Lagerfeld collection is officially here!!! It is launching exclusively through Net-a-Porter tomorrow, and they’re celebrating with a big party – London, Sydney, Berlin, New York and Paris (where Karl will make an appearance) will be hosting events to mark the launch of the new “affordable” range by Kaiser Karl.
The 70-piece collection is really an hommage to Karl’s own style – crisp white shirts, collars, leather, structured silhouettes, a tinge of androgyny and lots of rock’n roll. From what I’ve seen so far, it all looks fantastic – exactly what I need in my wardrobe right now.
I’m absolutely gutted I can’t make it to the London launch, as I’m still away detoxing, but I might just treat myself to the leather pleated skirt or a nice shirt for sticking with the programme. Find out more details on all the events here.
Oh, and make sure you check out the dedicated KARL app, where you can win prizes and Karlify yourself…! It’s as fun as it’s sounds :)
