Lady in Red!

J'aime la Vie Nuala Red Dress €69.95
Every girl should have a trusty LRD (Little Red Dress) in their wardrobe! No matter what the season, a little red number is sure to add a pop of colour to your look and is so flattering on all skin tones and hair colours.

Valentino Little Red Cape Dress
Our J'aime la Vie Nuala Red Dress is causing quite a stir as it arrived this week in store & online! It has a strong couture feel with simple styling and a cape effect on the reverse. It takes its inspiration from Valentinos red cape dress as seen on the catwalk this season. Its reminiscent of the innocence of Little Red Riding Hood!

It's All There In Black & White!


"Women think of all colours except the absence of colour. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is perfect harmony." Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel had a love for all things monochrome and so do we! This season it's back to black (and white!) with the return of the monochrome trend! Taking inspiration from the 1960's mod scene, the black and white look is chic and striking. It has a talent of flattering all body shapes and sizes and the ability to make you look preened and polished with very little effort!

Rather than simply merging two block colours, we see a variation this season in how both shades are matched to create 'perfect harmony'! Power prints coupled with pretty detailing give the mono trend a whole new look. Finishing touches are key this season with bold zips and PU adding a distinct modern twist.

We've picked two dresses from our new season collection which we think showcase the AW14 monochrome trend at its very best! Shop the look in Carraig Donn stores nationwide & online www.carraigdonn.com

This Autumn Its All About Bordeaux!

Victoria Beckham embraces the bordeaux trend
As a new season draws ever closer, it's time to pack away the summer brights and introduce a whole new palette to our wardrobe. Oh no I hear you cry but fear not, the shades for the season ahead are sure to brighten your day!

One colour that stands out is Bordeaux as it is set to reign supreme over all other shades this AW14. A real fashion favourite making its comeback once again this year!

It is without doubt the perfect 'dark colour' for the months ahead and stands out from the ordinary go to black. Its subtlety is loved by many as it looks great on all skin tones and hair colours. Bordeaux will be popping up in all areas of your wardrobe this season from dresses to jackets to handbags. It'll both renew your look and add a dash of luxury!

We see style icon Victoria Beckham embrace the deep shade with confidence as she teams it with different colours and textures to add to its beauty.

We've selected some bordeaux beauties from our new season J'aime la Vie collection which we are sure you'll adore! Shop the collection in 32 stores nationwide & online www.carraigdonn.com
