This simple but elegant number from Betty Barclay looks really cute on Lady P. She has a strong blue hue to her wardrobe just now.
Friday Cool – Galimard Delivers
We’d looked through the catalogue and made our choices. Lady Peanut went for two perfumes, L’Ete Dernier and Feminissime. She also got a lovely scarf and a lovely scented candle.
Meanwhile on the man front I maintained my commitmemt to Galiamard by buying their new aftershave, Bel Canto or Beautiful Song which is for me the best translation. Look it up explore,get lost in translation and enjoy the moment.
Friday Cool – Galimard Revisited
Just in time to tempt us for Christmas, Galimard send us a flyer to tempt us again so I’ve got my eye on a selection box of six fragrances and a larger bottle of Bel Canto. Just waiting for Lady P to get her selection in and then we will place our order!
Friday Cool – Crew Clothing Company
There’s a shift happening in British life. Rural areas are transforming into cultural hotbeds. The coast and countryside are being rediscovered and reimagined. Thus argues Crew Clothing, who go on to say:
Innovators, makers, owners, creators – people with an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for a life better lived are doing things their way. They’re looking for space to think, space to do, space to be. Smart for work, casual for play isn’t how we live anymore.
Say hello to a new attitude to dressing. A flexible wardrobe fitted with classic designs, modern fabrics and fresh colours.
Lady Peanut now out of the working channel of her life finds this Smart.Casual ethos easy to embrace. Today she scooped up two of their outerwear offerings – a gilet in cream and a navy jacket.
A 20% discount on retail prices combined with excellent quality finish and perfect fit forced her hand.
Give Crew a look in they are sitting in the right niche of the market.
Friday Cool – M And Co Petite Range
M & Co have come up with a strong collection of petite clothing for the 5 feet 3 inches and under, for AW16. Mrs P struggles to find petite clothing in shops. Marks and Spencer for instance while finally seeming to head towards their correct placement in the market place, producing some lovely ranges, they have all but abandoned the petite lady and no longer seem to have a dedicated section for them.
Lady P here has adopted the role of the real world model, to show just how strong this petite range is.
Petite On-line generally offers the best hope but it can be hit and miss and she does like to try before she buys. A bonus then for her to have an M & Co in her home town of Great Malvern. Here are three items from their petite range which she picked up for herself, but I suspect she will add a few more to her collection before she is finished. Credit to M & Co and here at Friday Cool we wish them every success with their petite range.
Friday Cool – Hugo Boss Smart Lounge Pants
I have been looking at the new Hugo Boss tailored casuals on line and went in search of them. I failed to track them down but meanwhile was more than happy to settle for these from Boss which aren’t as tailored but do have a fly zip but come in at s third of the price of the latest styles.
Friday Cool – Chilly’s Bottles
These come in a variety of colours and are perfect for MINI’s. We opted for the 260ml version as they are small enough not to get in the way of slick gear changing. Drinks are kept hot or cold for 24 hours.
