Glitter heaven!

During LFW Claire Watt-Smith, the founder of BoBelle London, was spotted with the brand new glitter ipad case and matching iphone case which are hitting our new e-boutique and stores this October. We have been trying to keep them a secret, but people just love them! Here are a couple of fabulous bloggers, The Online Stylist and Feathers and Frills mentioning them:

"These luxurious accessories belonged to Claire because her company, BoBelle London, produced them. To be honest, when I first saw the iPad and iPhone case, I thought they were Jimmy Choo, which I hope is a compliment to both parties. You may be shocked to know that I don’t own an iPad, but after seeing this case, I feel its becoming an essential piece of equipment which surely would increase my blogging efficiency. Whatever excuse I can find to get my hands on one of these cases, I will find it", Victoria, Frills and Feathers


If you’d seen these stunning glittery covered iPad and iPhone cases then you’d have been distracted too. These are definitely going on my Christmas list!" Amanda, The Online Stylist

Women in Business


This past couple of weeks have been super busy, not just with getting the launch of our BoBelle handbags ready, but also for our founder, Claire Watt-Smith, going to lots of 'Women in Business' events.
Women in Business is a topic that keeps on being discussed; whether in a positive or negative way. Claire Watt-Smith, having founded BoBelle London, is often asked for her views on issues such as quotas, flexible working, funding, finance and more. Just in the last 2 weeks alone she has attended the Evening Standard's 'A Seat at the Top Table' with Cherie Booth and others, an event at the Said Business School on Women Leadership and then last night with The Sorority having been seen in The Times for their Women Mean Business supplement.

Claire Watt-Smith is an excellent example of a young woman in business who every day is getting both her name out there and her brand, BoBelle London.

LFW thus far....

London Fashion Week is just fabulous -the excitement, the rush, the thrill of the new season and creativity. BoBelle London is right in the thick of it with its new HQ being based at the gorgeous Somerset House. More on that later. Right now, it's all about SS13:

LFW essentials - fortunately Vitamin Water flows (not to mention champagne) 

This is where the magic happens; the beautiful Somerset House

Just by BoBelle London's staircase to our offices - mannequins in stunning SS13 looks - monochrome is set to be a key look next season

Once you've queued outside, this is the queue inside to attend the shows - well worth the wait, obvs


A quick snap before the show begins


A key look for SS13 - beautiful sumptuous fabrics in delicate colours and shades, as seen at Corrie Nielsen


Blocked shapes and lots of silk - again, black and white are the shades to watch out for


Ruffles and attention to detail on porcelain was a trend for next season


 Everyone wants a piece of the action


The dip-dye effect works so well on this stunning ruched effect


My personal fave of the whole show - stunning by Corrie


Anna and I just having a quick coffee in between shows - her fabulous blog is South Molton Street Style



And off to more!

Vogue's Fashion Night Out

To put it mildly, we have been quite busy here at BoBelle HQ. Not only are we set to move next week to the beautiful fashion hub that is Somerset House, but we are also getting our new lines together for the launch at the end of the month, designing the website and more. However, how could we refuse going to Vogue's FNO? That would be sacrilege. So off we teamed after work to get the lowdown on one of the nicest streets in W1, Bond Street. Here are a few pics:

I kid you not, the queue for this pop up tent was massive; chocolate vodka, anyone?!


Just to give you an idea of the types of queues some people faced....crazy.


Ah....a refreshing cocktail was in much need. Thank you, Burberry


The Hermes Swinging Silk entertainment was stunning! The dancers were fantastic; they really got the crowd going


This gives you an idea of just how many people turn up for Vogue's Fashion Night Out. This time last year we were at the one in Madrid

The atmosphere is really electric at these events and there is a lot of mingling to be done. The goodies on offer for this night only are incredibly tempting and what better way to start the new season than taking part in this fab event?!
