New arrivals Summer 2020

Whilst the weather may not be sunny in the UK our spring-summer collections have started to arrive and I for one am so pleased to see them, it makes my heart sing and reminds me there will be some sunshine soon. One of my favourite collections has arrived this week, Rundholz Mainline. I am always smitten by the quality of the fabrics in this collection and whilst I know some pieces are a considered purchase I have pieces in my wardrobe that are many years old and still wear them....

To buy or not to buy

I was chatting with one of my customers who recently bought a fabulous Rundholz dress. Oh yes said she, I`m going to save this one for best! Please, I said, you can’t possibly do that…… whilst most of our clothing here at idaretobe is timeless, after spending a considerable sum on this beautiful dress you need to get as much as wear as possible from this piece. Do you remember the days of saving clothes for best or Sunday best? Those days are long behind us, we are more concerned... Read More

Models or not

All my life I have been passionate about fashion and even though I have never worn “mainstream” clothing I still like to see the trends and colours designers are showing each season.I`ve just read a great article about a new designer in one of the most popular fashion magazines in the world which drove me to go and have a look at the designs.Beautiful clothing, luxurious fabric and all tall very thin models wearing the clothing, sigh……Here at idaretobe, we prefer to wear most of the clothing ourselves, after all,...

Theres nothing better than a snuggly knit on a cold winter day

October, when the temperature drops and it starts to rain a bit too much for my liking, is when I find myself reaching out for knitwear. Not just any old knitwear but the kind that makes you feel warm, cosy and safe somehow, oh and the bigger the better… At idaretobe we are mad about oversized pieces and Jax and I have chosen 4 of our favourite styles this week. At the luxury top end are the Antoni & Alison knits and whilst a considered purchase, the quality of these... Read More
