Brand Watch at Javelin

Javelin has integrated a number of new brands into its stores. One which is particularly perfect for the spring/summer season is the quirky, colourful brand Desigual. Primarily attracting those with a flair for individuality and boldness, Desigual’s patterns and prints are certainly attention-grabbing. Two other brands that caught my attention were Traffic People, which I’ve always been a fan of, and one I hadn’t heard of before, Jarlo; this features lots of girlie, patterned dresses perfect for those upcoming summer days! 

Store Watch at Sassini

I’d never heard of Sassini in Saffron Walden before, but it definitely has some exciting brands. Stocking the likes of MAC jeans, Fenn Wright Mason (a favourite of mine for accessories) and the laid-back attire of Olsen, it is a must-see store! It also stocks a brand called Part Two, which I’ve fallen in love with a little already. From afar this brand looks like it features simplistic, casual pieces, but on closer inspection, most of them are actually rather individual, or have a little twist applied! The store also stocks some gorgeous shoes and accessories, so you can kill two birds with one stone when hunting down the perfect outfit. 

The Event

On Thursday 28th April, The Apex in Bury St Edmunds will be putting on the fashion-packed event known as Fashion Fusion! Over thirty retailers, from boutiques to high street stores, will be showing their spring/summer collections for the public. Models will strut their stuff down the catwalk, but that’s not all! The event welcomes a very special fashion-related presenter in the form of Clothes Show Live presenter Kate Solomons! Finally, as if the event itself wasn’t exciting enough, there’ll be drinks, canapés and even a goodie bag for all those attending! The event opens at 6.45pm with drinks, and tickets are £11.50.
