New up-cycle idea: necklaces made from vintage letterpress type

Calling all typography geeks and alphabet lovers in town – have you seen this? Gwen Delicious has created a new accessories label that fashions necklaces from vintage printing-press type. Not only they look fantastic, but each of them is absolutely unique!
Each letterpress piece is gently cleaned and polished and has age appropriate imperfections which add to the nostalgic value of each letter.
To add to the mystery, dangled around your neck with the type obscured, the pendant’s identity isn’t immediately obvious. This is perfect for the ones who don’t like spelling it all out!

10 Fashion Resolutions for 2012
Can you believe we are in 2012?
Here at Bobo we are all wondering what exciting trends and events lie in store for 2012!? So here we are, dreaming and imagining the year ahead…
See our 10 Fashion Resolutions for the new year:
1. Find inspiration.
Looking to reinvent yourself? Browse the internet, read the latest fashion magazines, explore new markets and boutiques. There’s always a new treasure waiting to be found…
2. Shop small. Shop ethical.
Try to discover local boutiques and shops that stock unique pieces. Supporting small businesses will spur economic growth and encourage the development of new fashion in your area. Make an effort to buy ethically sourced products.
3. Spring Cleaning
Review your wardrobe and get rid of any pieces you haven’t worn in the last three years. Put the old in a big bag and make a donation to your local charity shop. Clear wardrobe, clear head!
4. Back to the classics
Remember, there’s a reason why they’re called classics. Spend the money on the fitted black dress, the classic Chelsea boots, the straight-leg pant. Good fabrics and clean cuts will never go out of style!
5. Find a good tailor.
Find a good tailor to customize the fit of some of your clothes. A slight nip and tuck can give a couture look to any item! Get creative!
6. Know your body.
Know your body and wear styles that flatter, rather than distract.
7. Take a risk.
Take a risk every now and then. Try out a new look a month. There's no need to keep buying, just mix and match items from your wardrobe!
8. Don’t neglect your appearance
Keep striving for your fitness or health goal, but make sure you don’t neglect your appearance! Make the most of the way you look.
9. Establish your own style.
Finding your own style can be hard, but it’s worth the effort. Think carefully about a style that represents your personality!
10. Have fun!
Fashion is a form of art. And art is fun! Always wear what makes you feel good. oh, and never forget to wear a smile on your face...
The Little Black Dress and Marco Tozzi for SS12
Audrey Hepburn’s style in Breakfast at Tiffany’s can be
summed up in three words: Simple, Classic and Glamorous. Her looks
are characterized by simple yet breathtaking pieces combined with glamorous feminine
shoes. With this in mind, we have put together one lovely outfit. The shoes are
by Marco Tozzi and they will be in stock in January 2012, we can’t wait! We hope you like it.

All shoes by Marco Tozzi. The little black dress is by Karen Millen (Polka Dot Knit Dress, £140)

Coming Soon: Spring Summer 12, new styles from Marco Tozzi and Melissa
We have some new stock coming in from Marco Tozzi and Melissa.
We are expecting these new designs to be in the showroom in January 2012. We can’t wait to see them and try them on! Here is a preview of what is coming! Let us know what you think.
From Marco Tozzi we have a mix of smart loafers and more
dressy high heels. We think they look awesome, and we like a bit of shocking blue in
the mix! Here is a taster of what is to come...



From Melissa we have some more quirky designs! We love the lace theme running through our new Melissa range! Also some lovely ribbon ballerina shoes...


So, what are your thoughts?
Looking forward to it?
Fur Free: New Ethical Online Fashion Magazine

Here at BoBo we are very excited about discovering “Fur Free”, a new ethical fashion magazine from the Netherlands.
The magazine was founded by a Dj (Jojanneke van der Veer better known as DJ Wannabeastar) and an art editor (Femke Dekker of My Little Underground) and we think they did an absolute great job.
You can check it yourself by downloading "Fur Free" from their website, free of charge!
It’s worth it.
