Fever London's collection for Spring 2014 is one of their best yet. As with all Fever collections, it's inspired by vintage finds from across the globe - however it's Italy - Milan, the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento which forms the main theme for the collection, as well as the location for the photo shoot.

As usual, Fever's spring collecton is split into three mini-collections - City, Heritage and Occasion, featuring statement prints, mod 50s and 60s inspiration and vintage glamour.

Harrington Jacket in Tan
Merc's coming collection for Spring and Summer 2014 is possibly one of their best yet!

As you might expect, all the traditional and essential Merc elements are here - it's Retro, it's Mod and it's Indie, but it's bang up to date and still on trend. The classic Merc Harrington Jacket will be available in new colour, Tan for Spring and there is also a new colour in the Merc Card pique polo - pink with blue and white tipping, pictured below the cut, under the new Campbell Monkey Jacket in plum (also will be available in Navy).

 Here's a sneak preview of Gloverall for Spring/Summer 2014. Gloverall you might think of traditionally as a Winter brand, with all their fantastically cosy Duffle Coats, Reefers and Overcoats, but don't discount them totally for Spring! After all, in these rainy isles, you definitely will still need a -albeit lighter- coat to keep you dry and warm in those early months.

Gloverall have taken a nautical theme to their Spring collection, centering around 2 special pieces - the rain resistant Windbreaker (pictured) - a traditional classic Retro anorak style in a bright yellow for Spring, made from a treated cotton to make this a perfect transitional jacket - and a short denim duffle, which possesses all the famous Gloverall Duffle specs, but in a lightweight, partially lined, waist length coat specially for Spring.

One other special style worth mentioning is this rather eye-catching Gloverall Duffle coat in a camouflage print (pictured). This is sure to be in great demand and short supply so make sure you bag yours early on! The jacket features the traditional Gloverall Duffle coat specs in a short, waist length and with large patch pockets and a contrasting cord collar and trim to cuff.

This season as well, we're extending our Gloverall range to include a couple of shirts - designed to match your Gloverall Duffle coats (and to basically just look the bees knees!) Included in this are an army style overshirt (pictured underneath the Camo Duffle coat), a Retro 60s style Paisley 'Bandana' Shirt (think Hawaiian style shirt with a more grown up - and defiantly mod print) and a traditional 'Striped Sailor Shirt' - a white and navy classic 60s Breton top - Brian Jones would love it!



Look out for these styles arriving soon - or if you can't wait a moment longer, check out our current range of Gloverall Coats here.

Happy new year everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve - and the hangover isn't too bad this morning!

You might be thinking of making some new year's resolutions today -  what are they? Save more, spend less? Eat healthier and lose weight? Or just generally improve your world, live life to the fullest and enjoy every day?! (That's my fave!)

Here's 15 inspirational quotes (in no particular order) to consider as we start afresh in 2014!


1. "When you were born, you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Try to live your life so that at the end, you are the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying."- Ralph Waldo Emerson
