Icy conditions require layers of colourful sumptuous Brora Scottish cashmere.

Meeting a fabric supplier this afternoon to look at Spring 13 cloth! How crazy is that?

Must grab a cashmere hat as ears are burning with cold. Well there is only one place to go…

Cashmere Textured Knit Jacket- was £459, NOW £369

Silk Crepe Shirt- was £119 NOW £69	Liberty Jersey Full Circle Skirt- was £95 NOW £79

This ‘too cool for school’ outfit is actually a great look for those hectic day to day duties, as it incorporates great styling, warmth and comfort; essential on-the-go elements. Good taste and flair shouldn’t have to stop at the school gates!

In some cases, parents waiting at the gates have become something of an undisclosed fashion event where women can arrive in their ‘Monday best’ looking trendy and fashion conscious. The term yummy mummy springs to mind; the notion of being a fabulous mother, but also a mother that’s fabulous.

Complete the look with flattering accessories that highlight the natural earthy tones of the Liberty skirt; the Buff Chelsea boots compliment the overall styling and works well with the length of the skirt also.

Suede Chelsea Boots- was £139       Suede Rivet Belt- was £89 NOW £59

NOW £89

Suede & Leather Shopper Bag- was £139 NOW £95

The splash of Damson makes for a very daring appearance that will break up the simplicity of such a neutral palette.

Discounted Brora goods and a chance to be the envy of all the mothers; not to mention the teachers…priceless!

Have a look at our contribution to stylist website Dress Me Daisy on how to wear the layer look this winter. The site is all about giving great fashion advice by taking current looks and making them more accessible for ‘real’ British women.

We submitted three perfectly layered looks that capture the season’s trends; two of which have even featured in our Style Stories section.

The looks personally chosen by Victoria Stapleton incorporate this years’ popular runway styles of striking colour-blocking, lavish textures and playful patterns dressed more simply for the modern woman.

Plus, we’ve included the practical but highly fashionable usage of accessories and how to apply them; as they too make great layering pieces.

Watch here to get some valuable tips from Victoria on how to layer this winter and do read our Dress Me Daisy article for further inspiration.

Congratulations Florence! It seems that there is no limit to the dizzying heights at which she is ascending to in her modelling career.

Ms Brudenell-Bruce is absolutely captivating on the front cover of Tatler’s January 2012 issue, inside she fashions a range of flirty and feminine looks that demonstrate striking images of fun and glamour in the springtime sun.

The British beauty is an avid art lover, no doubt influenced by her mother Sophie Brudenell-Bruce, who is a French artist. Florence studied at Bristol University and received a degree in the History of Art; so clearly she is not just a pretty face!

Contrary to popular belief, Flee (as we like to call her) is an old family friend of Victoria’s that has been modelling for Brora since she was 18; she is perfect for our feminine and colourful Brora looks.

We wish her all the best in her exciting career!

This is 18 month old Millicent beautifully modelling the latest Brora pieces for children and babies to perfection.

If she isn’t an advert for Brora cuteness this Christmas, then we don’t know what else could be; simply adorable! The little baby-blonde ‘bombshell’, who is the niece of our Bath store manager Hannah, came in to visit her aunt and didn’t want to take off the cardigan, hat and scarf; ideal presents for any child.

Millicent proves to be an absolute natural, as seen here, striking a pose on command. Can we say Brora’s Next Top Model?!

Here are the lovely pieces which Millicent is modelling:

Vintage Fair Isle Cardigan – £79
Cashmere Ribbed Hat – £42

Cashmere Stripy Scarf - £35

We love receiving pictures of your Brora Babies and seeing them in our stores. Just two weeks ago on a shop visit to Cambridge, Victoria delighted in reading to Brora beauties Flora and Alice in their cashmere Fair Isle berets for mid-afternoon story-time. The girls were kept enthralled while their mother had a well deserved shopping spree.
