Lunchtime
links
26.03.2007
Spending another lunchtime at your desk? Hurriedly
scoffing your jacket spud with one hand whilst sifting through your
emails or the over crowded in tray? Well, spend this lunchtime a little
more wisely and enjoy discovering some of our favourite web haunts...
If you’re anything like us in the 4couture.com offices
then long lunches at the pub or popping into town for a spot of retail
therapy are a thing of the past. Instead, lunch nowadays seems to last
for exactly ooooooh 5 minutes and results in indigestion, doh. So, lately
we’ve been making much more of an effort to take a proper break
but unable to actually extract ourselves from the studio we’ve
been using the time to gen up on the latest fashions, best boutique
hotels, sample sales and much much more.
We’re absolute internet junkies at 4couture.com so this
month we thought we’d share some of our favourite online clothing
sites with you...
www.net-a-porter.com
- surely by now this online Mecca of designer fashion needs no introduction?
www.brownsfashion.com
- ooooh this is a close second, although it’s a little basic in
terms of design and sometimes it takes absolutely ages to scroll through
what’s new, Browns really do have some of the very best designer
gear from very exclusive designers (you might need to save up a bit
first).

www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk
- now these guys haven’t been online for that long and it’s
not as much fun as a rummage through an actual store, but fantastic
for dipping into and picking up a few key accessories. Check out their
necklaces and also the designer boutique area, oh and tees are great
value for money too. Even more fun for those of us who don’t live
anywhere near an Urban Junkies, now we can share a piece of the action.
www.my-wardrobe.com
- a bit of a latecomer compared to some of the other online boutiques
but they’re certainly making up for lost time! It's well worth
signing up to the newsletter as it’s not sent too often but when
it arrives the ‘look’s the girls have put together are always
spot on the money.
www.dailycandy.co.uk
- OK so this isn’t actually an online boutique but it’s
one of the best ways to get to hear all about the latest sites to check
out and designers hitting our shores. You can subscribe to a London
version only or if you want to stay ahead of the trends and see what’s
going on over the pond then you can sign up to as many as 12 hot locations
and be first to hear what’s happening.
www.urbanjunkies.com
- one of my absolutely favourite sites and a must sign up if you’re
intending on spending any time in London at all. This site contains
daily information and updates of all the coolest activities going on
in and around town and always has the latest list for sample sales.
www.bunnyhug.co.uk
- again another late comer to the online boutique scene and I must admit
I haven’t been completely swept off my feet just yet but that
said, Bunnyhug offers a great selection of French Sole ballet pumps
that everyone ought to have!
Check back next month for more web links to some of our favourite
haunts.
