Behind The Scenes: The Warehouse Night Out

We wanted to put our Christmas party collection through its paces, so we gave the run of the Warehouse wardrobe to East London party girls Ella and Anna and their mates. We then followed them on a fiercely fashion night out as they showed us how to party in style!  Follow their night in 3 parts…..Part one: The Pre-party live now! 

While on the set we took sometime to find out more about the girls and their tips for the ultimate night out...

Describe your look: My look is definitely Indie Rock.

Favourite Warehouse piece: Mongolian Fur Jacket

Top styling tip to stand out at a party: High Heels and Smoky eyes.

The party style essential I can’t live without....is my Punk Rock Leather Jacket

All I want for Christmas is: A holiday!

Favourite party track: Dead Prez - Hip Hop.

What will you be doing this New Years Eve? Je ne sais pas (I don’t know!)

Describe your look: My look is Rock n' Roll. I like combining punk and glamour and mix up a bit of both…messy hair and easy clothes, combined with something elegant. My jewellery is often home-made, charms I’ve found, or little things like keys and chains.

Favourite Warehouse piece:  I love the Warehouse Studded Jeggings & Mongolian Fur Gillet

Top styling tip to stand out at a party: Red lipstick - it makes anything glamorous! If you don't have lipstick, dark eye make-up and a pair of nice heels work just as well, with almost any kind of outfit!

Best night out you ever had and why? It’s hard for me to pick just one....but I’ve had some really amazing nights out in Barcelona and Berlin where we ending up dancing all night.

All I want for Christmas is: Food, love…and mulled wine.

Favourite party track: Anything from Nirvana or Siouxsie and The Banshees

What will you be doing this New Year’s Eve? I'll probably be in my hometown of Stockholm...

The Retail Trust Search for a Star

With the likes of X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent permanently topping our entertainment radar these days, you can only imagine how excited we were when we found out that The Retail Trust were launching their very own Search for a Star talent search?  

Warehouse, along with other major high street retailers, were invited to hold auditions to identify their potential undiscovered Leona’s, currently working in stores across the UK. After several gruelling stages of auditions, our equivalents of Simon, Louis, Cheryl and Dannii whittled the hopefuls down to a few lucky contenders who were then put forward to the next stage of auditions competing for a place in the final against entrants from the other high street brands. 

All our girls were outstanding, and we’re bursting with pride and excitement that one them, Lauren from Sheffield, has made it through to the semi finals along with 49 other hopefuls, beating hundreds of other auditionees in the process! Lauren now needs your votes to help book her place in the grand final.  

Watch the video and place your vote for Lauren by TEXTING STAR 12 to 60155 before Tuesday 15^th December. We think you’ll agree she’s something pretty special!

 

Scotland's Next Top Model...

Cast your mind back, if you will, to June…The sun was shining, we were loving a hareem pant (nothing much changed there then!) and we’d just announced the winner in our Scotland's New Face award at the Scottish Fashion Awards, the stunning Christina Chalk.  

Well, whilst nothing much has changed for little old us (give or take a few “essential” wardrobe updates), Christina has been swept away in a virtual whirlwind of fashion superstardom.

We were bowled away by her first professional assignment for The Herald Newspaper, where she struts her stuff with the best of the established troupe of models. Watch this space for more news of Ms Chalk and her burgeoning careeer...the supers had better watch their backs, that’s all we’re saying!!

Hot Bonfire Night style

Bonfire night is sooo last season – this year it’s all about Bonfire Weekend! If you, like us, are excited about a weekend of fireworks and sparklers, you’ll be wanting to protect yourself from the elements without compromising any of your stylista status. 

Well for us it’s all about layering (perfect for shedding later when you move onto a bar or party) and staying cosy with touchy feely textures. Cashmere is always a luxurious favourite and perfect for staving off the chills – try our cashmere cowl neck dress with an over the knee boot.

Go for classic detailing with chunky cable knits – our heavy knit zip front cardi stands out with an oversized drape collar and is just the job as a scarf substitute.

Coats are, of course, an absolute essential and none better than the boyfriend jacket. We love our heavy wool version - it's a classic we can see being useful for years to come; the black and mushroom are totally versatile but for ultimate style kudos, we’d go for pink!

And for the crowning finish, top it all off with the spiral knit beanie and a splash of colour with the pansy print wool scarf

 

Stacey's got the style X-Factor!

We Warehouse girls LOVE a bit of X-Factor and have been especially taken with the lovely Stacey Solomon this year. So imagine our delight when she took to stage on Saturday night looking amazing in our all-over embellished dress and snake chain lariat necklace. Never fear dear reader, as the necklace is available now and the dress is due in this week so you too can get your hands on some X-Factor style.
