So it's Thursday afternoon and we're all itching to get to the weekend..am I right? Thought so..

How has your week been? I did some GOK WAN research; I was walking through boots and this is how behind I am, he's got his own beauty range?! Does his creams make you loose weight? IF SO...I'm on that!!

But in addition to that, Gok's favourite jeans for us ladies are by DTN/JON KAFE...and I mean, what a coincident because us here at Pink and Lilly also LOVE the DTN Jean!

We have them in Mushroom, Black, Blue Denim, Electric Blue and Camel...and seeing as its also buy one get one half price its time you stocked up on some well fitting jeans!

Our jeans are priced at £59.95 so cheaper than Levis ehy!

Next on the Jean list, we've got FLARES! These are really classy washed dark denim jeans from Ringspun and you know what, they are a great fit and they really life the bums like the DTNS!

They aren't too flarey but they flare enough for those chunky wedge heels you've got and that cream crop shirt!

Very flattering for those of us (like me) with shorter fatter legs..

GETSHOPPING

ITS BUY ONE GET ONE HALF PRICE!!!

LOVE IT

SPOTTED: Ashley Tisdale wearing Mink Pink

In the words of Rebecca Black..

2011-10-21T09:14:00.000-07:00

It's Friday! My hasn't this week gone fast?
And what better way to celebrate the weekend than to come and splurge at Pink and Lilly over the weekend?!

We have loads of new Ringspun stock including some really beautiful knitwear pieces, perfectly appropriate for this early blustery Winter we have been experiencing.

My favourite is the 'Flash' slashed back jumper. I'm not recommending you wear just this outside due to the short sleeves and gaping back but it's perfect for layering (and you could always cover it up with our Jarlo Sandra Coat)!

Next we have two similar items, the Jeopardy top and the Orba dress. They are both made of sweater material with use of red spotted silk/chiffon detailing making them comfortable yet visually striking.

Cosy alert! Faux fur/knitted gilet, could anything sound more like a cuddle in a garment? This gilet is beautifully made and a great length to go over jeans and boots!

And last but not least, the Peacock top. This graphic tee is a perfect all rounder and would take you right through every season ensuring that you remember to layer up in Winter! Best just buy it now before it's gone! Come and visit us in store or online at http://www.pinkandlilly.co.uk/ . WE LOVE RINGSPUN (and you).

So this is my bracelet..be jealous!!!

New Maggie + Me Stock!

2011-10-05T08:57:00.000-07:00

We had an exciting delivery this morning! Maggie + Me goodies! Deliveries are exciting, it literally felt like Christmas had come early, and it basically has because all this new stock is available for you to come and purchase NOW!

The pieces are very monochrome and sophisticated chic, which means that they would be perfect staple items for the wardrobe that you could basically pair with anything. Either that, or you could buy the whole range and be all set for well-coordinated outfits for the rest of Winter.

I'm also thinking ahead for you guys in that these Maggie + Me pieces literally scream Christmas Party! Sexy enough for catching that guy's eye at your friend's party, and appropriate enough to be parading in front of the boss at the office party. Even suitable for the big night that is NEW YEAR'S EVE.

Look at that, I just sorted you out for the entire festive season. Get down to Pink and Lilly, Stoney Street, Lace Market. You know you want to...

Autumn Wishlist

2011-09-27T08:34:00.000-07:00

Hi there! I'm Lauren, Pink and Lilly's most recent newcomer. Just thought I'd write a quick post to tell you which pieces I LOVE and have already mentally purchased.

Okay so first let's start of with my favourite piece of clothing and a new Ringspun arrival. I absolutely love Ringspun, especially their white coloured items with geometric patterns. This particular piece is a lovely charcoal grey knit cardigan titled 'Emily Cardigan'. Perfect for throwing on over a slouchy vest or t shirt and some dark red Jon Kafe skinny jeans.

Now I am not so good at being selective with accessories because I pretty much want ALL THE JEWELLERY. However, I will go with the Hannah Makes Things 'Globe Necklace'. Hannah Makes Things is a fantastic jewellery brand with the cutest creations of jewellery including necklaces with key pendants, teacups and birdcages. The globe necklace with a clock face inside it is priced at £27, with 10% off if you become one of our loyal 'Pink Ladies', and 20% off for students until the 3rd October so make sure you get down to Pink and Lilly ASAP to make the most of this amazing offer!

Pink & Lilly, Stoney Street, the Lace Market

Pink & Lilly is one of the trendiest boutiques I have ever been in; from the beautiful pink patterned wallpaper that adorns the back wall to the Pink & Lilly logo complete with its fluttering butterflies, the shop really is every girl’s dream.

Named after a brainstorming session between owner Caroline and a few friends, they decided on Pink & Lilly partly because of a Buckinghamshire pub with a romantic backstory about a Mr Pink who was the butler of a large house back in the 1800's and who fell in love with a chambermaid, Miss Lilly. This caused quite the scandal, but despite it all they stayed together and set up a business - which was turned into a pub by their first son. Caroline explained this, between making sure every customer was welcomed with a smile, "I also believe that the brand is very feminine and brands which are called something ‘and’ something always seem to be more memorable."

Caroline started out in the fashion business some 18 years ago, originally from Halesowen in the West Midlands, studying textiles in London before coming to Nottingham to study for her masters in fashion knitwear. "I live in Mapperley Park now which is a great area of the city, my favourite thing about Nottingham is that all my friends are here. I have met a lot of people along the way, plus I love the Gladstone pub on Loscoe Road."

Paper Plane coin purse, £14.50
While Caroline was busy helping a lady whose very sweet daughter had taken a fancy to a beautiful Russian doll purse, I took a look around the tiny but perfectly proportioned shop that Caroline has built up. Starting as a wholesale merchandiser, Pink & Lilly's now has a trendy Nottingham address and a website. "Unfortunately our Beeston store had to close in January as we just weren't getting the trade there" Caroline explained that she felt the lack of people to smaller towns was due to the fact that the recession was making people rethink their spending "I think people save up and see shopping as more of a special occasion now, so they are coming into the city instead of shopping regularly in their local towns."

Pink & Lilly’s biggest brand is Eucalyptus, which is owned by a friend of Caroline’s, and the store also boasts Pink & Lilly's own range of clothing and accessories, plus Ringspun, Paper Plane and more. "I have to sell what people want, but still make sure the collection is tight, it's all about the customer at the end of the day, and all our pieces are special. You can also personalise some of the clothes we sell, so if you decide you like a Pink & Lilly dress but you want it in luminous yellow, no problem, I can do that for you, and I can make it to measure.

Eucalyptus Alexa Mono Dress, £69.95
"People see our location and the look of the shop and think we are a really pricey place, which in a way is nice, but I worry it puts people off coming in. The majority of our dresses are between £30-£60, with our jewellery lines starting from £5 - that's cheaper than Topshop! One of my favourite pieces we stock at the moment is this Alexa dress by Eucalyptus, the best thing is it come in all kinds of colours, including blue and white poker spots which is perfect for the summer, it's also a magic dress because it sucks in your tummy and makes your boobs look fab."

The store is expecting a flurry of deliveries for their Autumn/Winter collection, including Liquorice and the Australian brand MINKPINK. Caroline clearly loves clothes and tells me "My favourite thing is when people come in asking for help because I love styling people, and now we are stocking shoes it means I can style an entire outfit. I would have loved to have styled Paula Yates - I bet most young people don't even know who she is, but to say the bare minimum she was Peaches Geldof's mum, but she has always been my style icon."

Caroline certainly seems to have taken Nottingham into her heart; not only does she run the store and the website with a little help from close friends, but she also teaches at New College Nottingham. "I like to be busy, and know what is happening. Nottingham is great because you can produce all your own stuff locally, I actually used to make my stuff myself but it got too much to do alone and so now I have them done at a unit in the designer studio, plus there are markets and lace shops here, I have friends who have to get their stuff made miles away, but I can just pop down and request a few more dresses, it's great having all that on your doorstep."

Pink & Lilly's website is equally as girly and eye-catching as the store, and now carries almost all their lines. "We really want to build on the website as we have found it has driven a lot of people to the store because they see something they like and they want to try it on. I want to expand it and get everything on there, I see Asos's website as inspiration they pretty much have world domination now. But that does not mean that the store will loose any of its presence." The internet is certainly a way to keep costs down but Caroline’s passion for her brand and the industry makes me think you wouldn't be able to get rid of her without a fight. "I think it is so much harder now, especially for people just starting in the industry. My advice is to do as much work experience as you can or work freelance and learn about the industry, be persistent, I did and it really paid off. But most of all, be nice - because people remember nice."

WIN! Pink & Lilly have very kindly offered up not one but two Paper Plane gifts to give away. The beautiful purse and make-up bag is yours for the taking - and all you need to do is send your full name to info@leftlion.co.uk by August 31.
