Thursday Night is Trend Night!

Our Fashion and Trend evening is drawing closer.
A big thanks to Starbucks at Thurmaston in Leicester who amongst others have sponsored our evening with mugs, chocolates, mints, biscuits. Majestic Wine have given us a great price on our pink bubbly so thanks very much to them aswell!
We have cleared all the desks out and made way for the 100 chairs which arrive tomorrow. The projector is set up and all the clothes are hanging on the rail.
Log on, on Friday to see all the pictures from Thursday evening! At the last minute we have been approached by Rustic Clash based in Leicester who design recyled fabric handbags. Our girls will be modelling these on Thursday night.

What are we wearing at Lello Today!

Here is a picture of Fiona looking very summery.
She is wearing Gina a blue plastic bracelet made up of assorted beads, with Classic Coral, our coral coloured classic glass bead bracelet. A pretty colour combination.

Gina is £7.00

Classic Coral is £8.50

Ready For The Weekend after a busy week

We have had a busy week here at Lello, it is always this way as we draw closer to the end of the month rushing to get all our orders out.

I went to a lovely evening last night held at Wymondham Windmill in Leicestershire. There is a lovely little cafe there which last night served evening meals. There was a jazz band playing and the gift shop was open till late. They sell all sorts of gifts, cards, books, jewellery (Not Lello Unfortunately) and lots of second hand clothes.

The windmill is open to the public during the day and there is a great little play area for children from about 18mths to 8/9 years. I'll be going back there sometime soon.
I can highly recommend the cake!

We now have all our outfits organised for our Trends Evening on Thursday 2nd July. It should be a great evening of fashion, food, drink, Lello jewellery and clothes. Tickets £7.50. Call 0116 2601004 to purchase one or email me at info@lellodirect.com

Mumsnet

Someone posted a question about Lello jewellery on Mumsnet after seeing one of our bracelets advertised in Marie Claire magazine this month.

Take a look at Mumsnet, you can join very easily and they offer loads of advice and information for mums.

Thursday 25th June

Busy Busy Busy, getting all the outfits together for our fashion/trend evening next Thursday 2nd July here at Lello.
Thanks to Outfit at Thurmaston who have leant us the majority of the outfits but also a big thanks to Blacks and Inside Out at Keyham in Leicestershire whose clothes we are also modelling on the night.
We are putting up banners locally, some of which we might find have been removed as we have taken a bit of gamble putting them up! But the tickets are selling fast and word is getting round.

Thanks to Ricola! the Swiss Herbal Sweet company who have donated 100 boxes of their sweets to add to our ever growing goodie bag on the night.

Orders for our jewellery keep flooding in and new customer Low Woods Furnishings of Loughborough have ordered for the first time, stock should be in their store ready for sale early next week. Low Woods is a fabulous interiors shop which I'd highly recommend for fabric, curtain making, furniture, accessories and much more.

If you want to come along, Tickets are £7.50. Call us on 0116 2601004 to pay for your ticket or pop in and see us in Syston, Cross Street. Between 9am and 5pm Mon to Fri.

China Blue

Wednesday is 'What are we wearing at Lello Day!, (back to a Tuesday next week).
Fiona is wearing our Ceramic blue and white hand painted set of matching bracelet and necklace (Willow). Both designs have a ceramic butterfly attachment.

Fiona is actually wearing one of our original necklaces which has now been shortned for this summer so it sits nicely in your neckline and not long as it does in this picture.

Very pretty and also looks great with jeans!

BLUE CORSAGE!!

Tuesday is usually - What are we wearing at Lello Today?
But this will have to move to tomorrow now as both Fiona and I have our childrens's sports days to go to today.
Instead I thought I'd tell you about our line of sparkly corsages.

School prom? End of term disco/party? Graduation?
If you are looking for a corsage to wear with your dress and want something a little different, take a look at our fabric and sequin corsages.

The Blue sequin corsage here also comes in Orange, Beige, Black, Red, Lime Green, Baby Pink and Brown. It secures at the back with with a locking pin.

They are great to pin on dresses, jackets, bags, scarves and you can also adapt them to fit in your hair.

These lovely cotton bags come as a set of 3. For £3.50!
You get a holdall to carry your beach towel in, a bag for your suncream or make up and a little mobile phone bag. The bags come in a pretty pink flower design or bold black and white flower design.
