It is a lovely morning here in Leicester not that I can see out of our ‘frosted windows’  but nevertheless I shall hopefully get to see daylight at lunchtime!

It’s a peaceful but busy morning, Fiona is working on our website as we aim to load all our handmade cards to the site in the next week. After this we will start adding all our handmade photo albums but this may take us a few weeks to achieve so please bear with us. Cards and albums for all occasions.

Access for trade customers will then follow once these lines are set up for the public.

For those of you who only know Lello for their jewellery, wait till you see our beautiful range of handmade cards and albums which will all be available on-line!

Fiona is also working on a brand new project we plan to offer to the public and our trade customers in the coming weeks. Supported by Trendstop! the trends predication company.

Lello will be bringing you weekly fashion/trend forecasts to keep you up to date with what’s in fashion in terms of fabrics, styles, colours, jewellery etc. So if you are fashion conscious and want a quick and easy update on the latest predictions keep logging onto Lello each week. This new addition will be directed through the home page and we hope to launch it next week.

My day will be spent sending out hundreds and hundreds of newsletters!

Lastly here is a sneak preview of what’s to come from Lello for Aut/Winter ’10/11.

This new necklace and bracelet has been designed to replace an existing set, giving it a new look, but keeping the details of it which have made it so popular.

Fiona is wearing necklace, ‘Tudor’ and bracelet, ‘Heritage’ made from metal antique finish beads with delicate metal cups either side of the large beads. The bracelet has a lovely large metal heart.

Purple Bead Necklace - Berry

I must say I am feeling very philosophical this morning (I had to spell check that). Today for me is all about effort! And quite bizarrely as I was thinking about this (when blow drying my hair this morning) my husband mentioned the very same word.

It took a lot of effort for me to put on my running shoes at 6.30am this morning and force myself out the door for a run, but that effort has ‘made my morning’ as I feel great and feel a real sense of achievement as I couldn’t be bothered the last 2 mornings.

So my plan is to put more effort into everything I do today to see what a difference it will make.

“It’s really important that you feel good, because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the Universe and starts to attract more of itself to you! So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good and are able to keep bringing you up higher and higher”. – Dr Joe Vitale.

What are we wearing at Lello today!

I am wearing our ever popular ‘Olivia’ bracelet made from antique metal finish and acrylic beads with large heart.

Fiona is wearing ‘Oyster’ 3 strands of slightly different coloured glass pearls (such a classic) £6.99

I am talking about the weather! Although a chilly start I have decided to plan my week ahead as it’s half term here and at least take Friday afternoon off, fingers crossed I get an hour in the sun.

I am counting down the days now till our jewellery arrives here in the UK and we can launch our new website which has all the new designs on it. It will be like a breath of fresh air!

Thought I’d show you the jewellery I am wearing today, matching necklace and bracelet set, Marcey £17.00 and Maya £7.00. Made from brown wooden effect & wooden beads with slight leopard print to them and large wooden heart on the bracelet.

For people who like ‘statement’ pieces’. Not at all heavy to wear.

Something New! we are planning on a ‘make over of the month’ and this month it’s going to be me!

I am not all that enthused that my sister and business partner thinks I need a make over but hey I am not going to say no. I have a party to go to this month so the plan is to find me an outfit, shoes etc. (which are much needed) somewhat out of my comfort zone plus hair and make up.

So I will be the first guinea pig…. if any of our readers out there would like to be made over for July, please get in touch.. karen@lellodesign.co.uk

We are all a bit bleary eyed this morning after the Easter break so it is all very quiet and people are just getting on with their work.

I have just packed the days orders which will be dispatched at the end of the day, we appear to have been very busy with web orders over the holiday’s so thank you to our customers for those,
they should be with you tomorrow!

Today Fiona is dressed in camel and brown, so wearing our chunky brown, leopard print wooden bracelet with large heart Maya £7.00. It also has a matching necklace, Marcey which is £17.00.

I am dressed in blue and coral, so I am wearing our ceramic butterfly bracelet, £8.00 which also comes with a matching necklace £16.00.

It’s a bit chilly in our office, hence we both have our scarves on!!!

We have gone with another piece of clothing from our photo shoot the other week.

Georgie is seen in what on first impressions just looks like a plain t-shirt. But we all loved it as it is made from very fine cotton with a stain effect to it and very fine red stripe. It fits very neatly and comes quite long so you can wear it tucked in or out. It also has little buttons on both shoulders and loose neck.

From Warehouse, £20.00, (Stripe Tab Button T), very on trend with the whole nautical look for spring summer, great with jeans and a jacket.

To match Georgie is wearing our large chunky nautical necklace, ‘Tally’ £17.00 and bracelet, ‘Ho’ £7.00 alongside a new line for Spring Summer our ‘Lyla’ necklace made from very chunky antique silver effect beads and matching bracelet, ‘Adele’ (also shown).

Georgie is also wearing our classic glass blue pearl bracelet £8.50 and glass stripe nautical bracelet with red ships wheel, £6.00 and co-ordinating blue glass pearl earrings, £5.00.

For ‘what are we wearing today’ I have got on our very popular ‘Mercury’ necklace made from metal ‘antique look’ silver beads for sale now on our website for £19.99.

This necklace looks great with almost anything and suitable for Spring Summer and Autumn Winter.

My bracelet is New from the Spring Summer range which will launch in a few weeks, called ‘Isabelle’ I just love this bracelet and I think I will be wearing it a lot when the new stock arrives.

Made from ‘antique look’ metal heart shape beads, it has a real weight to it, retailing for £8.99.
