As previosly mentioned on our havetolove blog, Colleen Rooney and Alex Gerrard have been fans of ChloBo for a long time, with it being so local to their area in Cheshire...but now its stretching in to the mainstream with ultra cool girl band The Saturdays also layering up their bracelet stacks. Rochelle Wiseman and Frankie Sandford look effortlessly stylish with their sterling silver bracelets highlighting their day to day and stage outfits.
And now one not for the faint hearted...get your man into ChloBo...if he dares, with Peter Andre leading the way..with his black sparkles rosary worn over a plain white v-neck tee. This is definately one to watch....

So last year, we were invaded by the Danish...who are still going strong this autumn/winter with By Malene Birger and new addition Day Birger et Mikkelsen (shhh! more about this later). But if this season belongs to anyone, its the Australians! With their ideal climate and relaxed way of life...the unique Aussie style has landed at www.havetolove.com
Cult label Sass + Bide arrived at havetolove today, and we can safely say we've seen nothing like it! With it's form fitting dresses and quirky basics...we are simply in love, and we are sure you will be too! Ok, so let me talk you through the first collection...
The staple black jean (pictured) or in Sass and Bide terms...'The Lover'...if you are familiar with the Sass and Bide Rats legging phenomenon, then these jeans will totally makes sense, but for those of you who are new to this brand...The rats are a fitted rouched legging that flatters every leg it's silky satin fabric graces! So 'The Lover' Jeans are a more versatile black denim version. Simples! The fit is super skinny, with a low slung waist to match...The jean fabric does an effortless leather impression, with a subtle gathering up the leg.
Now for the Tee's...The Special Mention t-shirt is a simple smock style with bold aztec pattern highlighted with gold studding. The secret zip in the centre reveals a contrasting black stripe pattern...The Turn It Up top is my ultimate favourite...A loosely knitted crop top with large stripe pattern...now here's the twist, one sleeve sits at full length, while the other poses as a cape, with optional button to create a cuff...genius! For a more daring option, the Moolinght Me can be worn as a casual tunic or a daring dress! With a black lace bib leading up to a polo neck, surrounded by gold embellishment...The body is a loose fitting cotton in a cloudy dark grey.
For your ultimate evening dress why not go 'All of Nothing'...A fitted black dress with chunky exposed gold zip...And the finishing touch with a cut out black caplet with padded shoulder details.
Now, thats all for collection one, we will keep you upated with more drops throughout the season...plus watch out for more Australian influxes!

The ultimate statement pieces arrived this week...Bolongaro Trevor has graced us with an edgy military themed collection mixed with sultry gothic glamour. I dont know about you but, i love everything military...it never fails to date, every year its re-invented, you can never have enough oversized buttons, shoulder epaulettes and gold trim! A key item of the bolongaro trevor collection this season is the maxi alden coat...with its double breasted fastenings and romantic ruffles! We are definatley fighting over this one in store!
Also a prominent story is anything dark and gothic...a little sinister yes, but worn in the right way, it can be so alluring. Worked through the Bolongaro Trevor collection in a series of prints including skulls, birds and possesed bunny rabbits! This can be found bold as brass on printed tees and blouses or wear it subtly in a simple printed silk scarf. Also available in this collection are hints of lace and heavy embellishment...worn in a sexy evening dress or statement waistcoat. Knitwear is also a major player, with cable cardigans and felt wraps adding warmth to an other wise delicate assortment.
We love Bolongaro Trevor for its unique style and quirkiness, with more to come this season...its one to watch for unforgetful peices.
bye for now...
