Keep singing in the rain: Five cute umbrellas

By Elisabeth on June 10th, 2011

With the skies opening up over London today, I praised myself lucky that I remembered to put my umbrella in my bag before leaving for work this morning.

Despite being well into June and summer being here we all know how unreliable the English weather can be. While the sun is shining one minute the next you might find yourself running for cover as Noah’s Ark floats by…

To make sure you’re ready for anything the universe throws your way – well mostly rain – here are five cute umbrellas that will not cramp your summer style.

Lulu Guinness lends her talents to the Elephant Family Charity

By Andrea Petrou on March 25th, 2010

We’ve got bags of respect for Lulu Guinness. Not only is she a talented designer but she’s also leant her name to a range of charity ventures this year. And it doesn’t seem as though she’ll be stopping anytime soon.

The designer, alongside Alice Temperley, Issa’s Daniella Helayel and Diane von Furstenberg will hand-paint one of 250 life-size baby elephants to raise awareness of the plight of the endangered Asian elephant.

The venture created by the Elephant Family charity, will see London turned into an urban jungle with the elephants placed around landmarks including Buckingham Palace, Parliament Square and the Southbank from May to July. If you want to see them all in their full glory you can head down to the public exhibition at the gardens of the Royal Hospital later on in the year.
To raise money the elephants will then be auctioned off in the autumn.

Models and designers create bears to help blind teenagers get a feel for fashion

By Andrea Petrou on January 26th, 2010

Bears.jpgFashion designers and models have designed a range of bears to help blind teenagers get a feel for fashion.

Twiggy, Betty Jackson, Lulu Guinness, Vivienne Westwood and Matthew Williamson have designed and dressed Steiff Bears for the charity Living Paintings, which helps blind children and adults. The bears will be auctioned at the V&A on the evening of February 25th 2010 and the proceeds will help the charity develop new feely images to help blind teenagers get to grips with the fashion choices open to them.

Lulu Guinness who designed her bear to wear her signature colours of black, white and red, said: “My bear is wearing one of my Beret purses on his head, with a lovely black and white stripey bow around his neck and I’ve put him inside one of my tote bags. I thought it was fun to inject an element of fashion into my bear design, because I believe Fashion is something that should not be taken too seriously. I hope that blind teenagers can interact with this and enjoy.”

If you want to get your hands on one of these bears then call Living Paintings on 01635 299771. Bids for any of the bears can be taken on the night in person or by phone, or in advance.

By Andrea Petrou on November 10th, 2009

exclusive-comet-lulu-toaster-1257797506.jpgWe know we usually give you news and ideas about clothing and accessories but fashion isn’t about what you wear, it’s about every part of your life. Whether it be your car, pet or household furnishings everything you own reflects your style.

While we’re not telling you to go and buy an extortionately priced car or hire the latest interior designer, we do recommend you hot foot it down to Comet now.

Yes we know, its hardly a place you originally associate with the hip and happening but, what if we told you the retailer has teamed up with kooky designers Lulu Guinness.

The collaboration features our favourite Lulu iconic lip design, which has been previously sported on many a celeb including Katy Perry and Sophie Ellis Bextor via rings and handbags. And it’s now made an appearance on a limited edition toaster a meaning you can make your toast in style.

Lulu Guinness said “I am delighted to team up with Comet on this project and thrilled with the design. This is the first time I’ve designed a something for the kitchen and I am excited to think of the toaster sitting in people’s homes, adding a bit of fun and glamour to their everyday activities.”

Although Lulu isn’t the first designer to move into the electrical market (fashionistas will know all about Cath Kidston’s designs for Roberts radio), we can’t wait to get our hands on the appliance, which is available online now and in stores from 13th November.

We’ll most definitely be seeing you in the queue.
