Cupcakes and Champagne...Must be the ChloBo Party!

2010-12-20 15:14:47

Despite the plummeting temperatures and layers of snow, havetolove still managed to throw a fabulous party for its loyal customers! All in the name of Chlobo...our addicts and newcomers to the brands joined us for an evening of cupcakes and champagne and a browse through the entire ChloBo collection.

The havetolove girls were joined by ChloBo designer Chloe and Chlobo representative Sophie, both girls made the special trip to Newcastle to join the festive party! We got to peruse through the sterling silver range, including the new ball chain necklace and pendants. Also the winter addition dark side collection was shimmering under the havetolove lights in gunmetal haematite crytals.

A favourite of the night was the rosary necklaces, with every customer clammering to own one or add to their ever growing layered collection! Mixing and matching black sparkles with silver, or haematite and coral the interpretations were left down to personal style!

We cant wait to see what the new season brings with ChloBo!

Fly The Star Spangled Banner...Cheryl Takes ChloBo Stateside!

2010-11-08 21:39:23

It was only a few weeks ago that we reported that Miss Cheryl Cole would be featured on the X-Factor Judges houses wearing a sparkling collection of a favourite havetolove brand ChloBo...But now showing that she loves her silver and haematite rosaries even more she took them stateside! Cheryl jetted off to LA this week, reportedly signing a mega 6 million pound record deal, and landed back in London sporting her lastest love...ChloBo!

She's perfected the layering trend, wearing two of her rosaries at once, with a sterling silver skull inset necklace (limited edition piece) finished with skulled cross charm and shorter length haematite style with winged heart charm...effortlessly complimenting her tonal navy outfit with newly dyed red hair and oversized sunnies!

Soon after landing at Heathrow Airport, Cheryl visited the X-Factor studios to catch up on the girls rehersals...We think Rebecca was outstanding this weekend! What are your thoughts? and do you think Cheryl does our ChloBo proud?

More coming soon including...have you spotted a havetolove feature on a Coronation Street Star in this weeks glossy's??

Spreading the Love....Elle McPherson in Sass and Bide The Lover Jeans

2010-10-16 09:49:56

Supermodel attributes are so often very unattainable...the height, the weight, and the ability to strut! And no-one personifies the word 'supermodel' better than Elle McPherson. We love her because she adopted the British way of life...we often see her dressed effortlessly casual riding around London on her bicycle with a basket full of flowers...how fitting!

But when it comes to the more stylish occasion she pulls out all the stops...and in this instance she has related back to her Australian roots, wearing quirky fashion label Sass + Bide. Now I know you'll agree not many people can make wearing all black look this good! But we adore the key piece of her outfit...The Lover Jeans!

As mentioned before, havetolove picked this style as a must have for autumn/winter, with its high gloss finish, it adds depth and texture to Elle's outfit. The gentle rouching of the jeans also gives and ultra flattering look...slimming and lengthening the leg. The style of the jean is uber cool with a low slung waist and skinny leg fit...but don't be fooled! The jeans have amazing stretch making them suitable for the shyest of fashionistas!

Get Elle's look at www.havetolove.com The Lover Jeans are available now! Hope you loved our little style steal...follow us for more soon!
