Mulberry gets Merry, It’s Teatime with Emma Bridgewater and Stripe & Stare, AYDA brings the festive vibes, CELINE’s supple trio of body care and more! 🎄🧼🕯️
Hey FROW Fam, we hope you’ve adjusted to this cold weather and pulled out the chunky boots this season! We’re wrapping up and hope you are too!🥶 Recently, we saw that Nella Rose is doing I’m a Celeb, Get Me Out of Here and we’re happily surprised! We’re already rooting for her and we'll be watching on Sunday!
Recently our founder and some of our team have been in London town getting into the festive season. Kicking off with a magical evening with Benefit (go check out our IG for more), we also got to do a little speed dating with Belkin testing out their latest accessories, and we got to celebrate with Sephora for their second store opening in Westfield Stratford City - it was such a great night. If you’re not already, follow us on Instagram to keep up with what we get up to.
This week we’re diving into some -pardon our French- F**king festive pieces with AYDA, who’s bringing life and infusing fun into activewear. While ASOS are doing a IRL pop-up this whimsical month of in-person and virtual fittings with our beloved well-known brands that are bringing some seasonal hint this winter!
Sadly, we’ve seen the Cassie and P Diddy/Dr Love allegations and are hoping for her healing, safety and justice to prevail. If you’ve been impacted by some of social media news, do remember to take a break or seek professional help if needed💓 Besides that, there’s a little commotion of whether or not Chris Brown should’ve done more with the sample of Naledi Aphiwe on, ‘Shooter’. We mean she was paid and is listed in the credits so she will continue to be paid… but 🤷 Any thought on the 11:11 album? Let us know on X!
Lots of razzle dazzle this week and winter warmth being evoked by Paul Smith and the Parisian luxury that is CELINE, with luscious lip care from the husband and wife brand Dr.PAWPAW plus glitz with fashion houses like LANVIN and Mulberry.
Now for the winter pizzazz, keep scrolling!
