Spotted….

Check out our stylish Brand Manager Sibylle who was spotted at Somerset House during London Fashion Week wearing Georgia Hardinge’s amazing Braque Dress which is brand new to our online shop. We love how Sibylle has given the dress a relaxed feel by teaming it with ankle boots and oversized bag. The rust colours in the dress work perfectly with her hair.

Watch this space for our fashion week round up…

Who needs Valentine’s Day…

… to send beautiful cards?

With Valentine’s Day just gone, we all know how hard picking out the perfect card for an occassion can be!
Luckily our Notting Hill boutique has some lovely OHH DEER cards that are so awesome that you don’t need it to be Valentine’s Day to give them.

Got a secret love that you want to do something about? Nothing says ‘Hi, I kind of like you.’ quite like a winking bear!

Or if you prefer the school boy method of teasing (we still want to think that he only used to pinch us because he secretly really liked us), then go fo the cheeky ‘I don’t like your face.’ card!

Of course these cards can be used for any occasion – you could do what our brand manager did and get the Happy Panda card just to make someone (or yourself) smile!

Music Monday: Whitney

After the tragic news of Whitney Houston’s death this Saturday it would seem wrong to devote this Music Monday to anyone else. We’ve decided to forget the shaky vocals and loss of words in her more recent performances and remember her at her best!

Here is one of our favourites….

Enjoy! Xx

Weekend Plans: xoxo

# 1 – Listen

What: The Black Keys
Where: Alexandra Palace
When: 09 February – 11 February 2012
Why: Following the release of their hugely popular album ‘El Camino’, Ohio born duo The Black Keys are playing three shows in London this weekend at Alexandra Palace. Their distinctive mix of rock, soul and blues with a hint of hip hop thrown in is the perfect music to help you wind down from a long week at work, while also putting you in the mood for the weekend ahead!

We still love ‘Tighten Up’ from their 2010 album ‘Brothers’

# 2 – Look

What: Yayoi Kusama
Where: Tate Modern
When: 9 February – 5 June 2012
Why: As famous for her spots as Damian Hirst (although years ahead) is influential and avant garde Japanese artist Yoyoi Kusama. This exhibition at the Tate Modern covers a whole range of her work from the 1950’s up until present day. Famous for reinventing her style over the years, her work covers a range of media from paintings and sculptures, all the way through to huge walk in installations – of which there will be one in the turbine hall. Her work is colourful and unique (as is her fashion sense!), and this exhibition is the largest that has been in the UK, making it a real must see!

# 3 – Love

What: Amanda Li Hope ‘Be My Valentine’ Trunk Show
Where: Wolf & Badger Boutique
When: Saturday 12 – 5pm
Why: On Saturday afternoon, why not come in out of the cold into our Notting Hill boutique, where one of our fantastic designers, Amanda Li Hope, will be hosting her Valentines themed trunk show. Amanda will be displaying her signature xx collection as well as some never seen before pieces! She will also be offering champagne, chocolates and an exclusive prize draw! Amanda, who trained as an architect before becoming a jewellery designer, finds a lot of her inspiration from the built environment around her. As a result her simple jewellery, which she makes for both women and men, has a sleek, geometric aesthetic and would make the perfect valentines gift for him or for her!

Have a great weekend! … Inspired by Amanda Li Hope let us finish this post with XOXO

Terrible Twos Party

February did not only bring a wave of fantastic new designers to our boutique in Notting Hill, it also brought along Wolf & Badger’s second anniversary!

What better way to celebrate our Terrible Twos and welcome the new designers than throwing a party with loads of sweets! We certainly were excited by flying saucers, sour cola bottles, powder shrimps and more, but at the end of the day it was the amazing new talent that ensured a full boutique despite low temperatures.

We are happy to welcome …

1 Silence Beyond Syllables / 2 Mutewatch / 3 Una Burke / 4 RockOptika / 5 Flik Hall / 6 Susana Bettencourt / 7 SMITH/GREY / 8 Makiko Nakamura / 9 Open Your Eyes / 10 Gemma Land / 11 Ashtiani / 12 Alice Made This / 13 Tina Zafari / 14 M-A-R-K-I-N / 15 Gallery 4 / 16 Peridot London / 17 Amy Hall

A big THANK YOU to all the designers, press, bloggers, customers and Wolf & Badger fans that wrapped up and braved the cold to join the party, drinking Rum cocktails served by the ever so amazing The Lonsdale team while listening to DJ Erol Sabadosh’s fine selection! It was great to catch up with everyone and meeting most of the people behind those fantastic new brands!

Check all pictures from the party here on Facebook!

If you missed the party don’t fret, our Notting Hill boutique team will be happy to show you what’s new! If you’d like to have a second chance to meet the designers, don’t miss the new trunk shows coming up on Saturdays during spring.

We will announce all trunk shows on our Facebook and here on the blog!

So long xx
