So which are you this Season?

With our Autumn Winter Stock hitting the Javelin stores right now, we just have one decision for you to make: Are you going to be Gothic or Girly? Sheers amd Lace are big news for the season but it is up to you how you want to wear them. The Vero Moda Kristi dress comes in cream or in black so it could go either way. On the catwalks Gucci and Chanel were all dark and mysterious - like the Little Mistress sheer dress. On the other hand, Jil Sander and Balmain were all soft and cute - like the Sonja top and Lovett jewellery. It's the ultimate fashion contrast, some catwalks were girly, some catwalks were gothic, but you cannot be both, so which is it going to be? 

Carnival Time!

It's Carnival time! The excitement of Notting Hill Carnival has reminded Javelin how much we like good music, dressing up and going out for a good time. For this season, we think we'll be repeatedly wearing the Ted Baker Kipp dress, because what says 'going out' better than a fiesty, little red dress. Feathers are always a costume essential for any good carnival outfit (just look at Nikki Minaj in her 'Pound the Alarm' video) so the Little Mistress Feather Print Dress will put you in the carnival mood whenever you wear it out. We've teamed our dresses with Unisa Tekel shoes and the bubblegum scented Melissa Vivienne Westwood Skyscrapers. 

Far East Fashion Revolution

Far Eastern Influence - an essential trend for A/W 2012

This season is going to be all about the Far East, from Dries Van Noten's raid through the Chinese silk collection to Jason Wu's east meets west style dresses, expect to see lots of silk and oriental print for this Autumn Winter. Here at Javelin, we are loving the crane print on the Bombshell Bird Cap Sleeve Dress. This dress is the easiest way to wear the trend because it teams a classic hourglass cut dress with the traditional eastern print of crane birds. Cranes are lucky in Japanese culture - it is said that if you fold 1000 paper cranes you will be granted a wish by a crane, so get folding! Alternatively, you can just wear the dress and hope it brings you good luck because it'll certainly look good. We also like the colourful cherry blossom print on the Darling Arabella dress and tunic because it has a hand painted appearance. Team the tunic with a wide belt (or use a big piece of ribbon like we have) and some wide leg trousers for an on trend evening look.
