I am a bit late with this today, but nevertheless, pictured below is Chris, our Midlands sales agent, after she popped into the office to get some new samples.
Chris is wearing our ‘Loganberry‘ earrings, metal antique finish, £3.99. These earring are lovely and they go with anything.
What are we up to today? Designing new card ranges due to launch in September.
A place to visit: I popped into Narborough Hall today to get my husband an Anniversary card. I haven’t been there for sometime and I forgot what a lovely shop it is! they have a huge selection of very pretty greeting cards and some lovely jewellery including our own Lello jewellery. Great presents for all occasions. If you are local and have not been, it’s a real must!
I am ‘so’ not dressed for today’s weather in white linen trousers, what was I thinking! But at least I have my rain coat.
Great to see how many people we had online yesterday browsing through our new website, so far so good no glitches.
Log on every week as our blog is updated daily and we have lots of new things coming to the site as well as our new stock.
We have a Prom feature next week! For all those of you who have a prom to go to or a daughter attending one, we have some beautiful wrist corsages in our ‘Accessories’ online and we will giving one 14 year old a mini make over in preparation for her up and coming prom.
Meanwhile today, we are working on some new designs which will be loaded under a new ‘novelty’ tag on the website, showing bracelets specific to rugby and football teams for all you female followers out there! I attended the recent Tigers game at Twickenham wearing my red & green bracelet and received so many comments I think I should have set up a stall selling them!
I don’t feel I have accomplished very much this morning with trips to the bank and to collect my little girl from school so I feel I have a lot to catch up on.
Our brand new website is due to launch in the next 24 hours please keep an eye out. A great deal of the lines which read out of stock will come in to stock over the next couple of weeks so do bear with us! We hope to start adding a few gifts and also many of our handmade card and album designs over the coming weeks and months. It has been a long time in the making, so we hope you like it!!
Fiona is pretty in pink today wearing one of our classics, the ‘Vintage Rose’, glass beaded pale pink bracelet. Very pretty with smaller beads than most of our other bracelets, each bead has painted roses inside it. A very popular bracelet. £7.00.
I am wearing our nautical bracelet made from blue and white stripe glass beads with little silver coloured beads between each one and red enamel ships wheel. £6.00
Lastly I am wearing our ‘Vanessa’ earrings today, made from ivory glass pearls, with a diamanté finding in between the small and large pearl. As with all our earrings they have silver backs on them.
My little girl loves these she lets me know every morning if she approves! £7.00.
I know we have had a bank holiday, but to think it is Wednesday already and the children are back at school on Monday, these past few weeks seem to have flown by.
I have just packed the days deliveries of which there are many and my hands are sore from all that cellotape and making up of boxes! plus some of the boxes are very heavy, but hey us women are multi tasking!
I now turn my attentions to our new lines which fingers crossed will arrive next week and go straight into stock as everything now seems to be ready, it is surprising sometimes how easily deliveries can get held up both overseas and here in the UK so it is never an exact science.
Below see a picture of me today, wearing my favourite colour ‘red’ my red miracle bead bracelet, £6.00 which has always been a favourite and is one of our original ones from 3 years ago so it has worn very well and my new favourite ‘sweetheart’ earrings which I have worn nearly everyday for the past few weeks, £5.00 which match the heart on my bracelet.
Please note all our earrings (bar ‘parade’) have sterling silver backs to them.
These new ‘sweetheart’ earrings have been selling incredibly well both with our shops around the UK and online.
‘Red miracle bead’ bracelet and matching ‘sweetheart’ earrings.
It’s down to me again today! and you will have to excuse the pose! but we are having to get creative to show off the jewellery otherwise all the pictures start to look the same, we might as well have a laugh doing it!
I do ask all the other girls if they will pose for me but as time goes by they become reluctant to as they know how many people read my blog each day! But I am older and ‘perhaps’ wiser and don’t mind putting myself for up for it as we don’t take it too seriously.
We like ‘colour on colour’ here. We don’t tend to match too many colours all together, as a company and personally my sister and I like to wear and design jewellery and clothes which all sit within the same colour palette, not that it’s for everyone.
I thought I’d be the guinea pig today. I am wearing an assortment of our jewellery.
My Russian doll necklace is something I wear quite a lot and it’s great just with navy or white.
The Russian doll necklace has just this week sold out, so I guess I shouldn’t have worn it for the photo! But it does come in black and white, £13 for the necklace and £7 for the matching bracelet something for those women who like jewellery which is a bit ‘quirky or individual’.
My red 3 strand bracelet with diamanté and heart detail is £6, available in other colours. My white leather and large stone effect wrap around bracelet (Diamond) is NEW for Spring Summer and costs £7.99, this design also comes in black and I think I will be wearing it a lot when the warmer weather arrives.
I am also wearing our red classic pearl earrings which come in a multitude of colours and cost £5 per pair. Please note they have sterling silver backs!
All new stock arrives in March. If you’d like a copy of our new jewellery brochure please email me your address karen@lellodesign.co.uk
After several attempts I just had to go with this pic, sorry it’s a bit staged!
I think you can tell I am a bit ‘under the weather’, managed not to sneeze during this picture.
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.
Hello,
I captured a few visitors on my little ‘flip video’ recorder at The Clothes show at the weekend. One lady, aptly named Karen arrived with one of our Lello necklaces on (Military £15.00) so I felt I just had to film her. As the days have gone by we have had many ladies coming to the stand wearing our jewellery which has been lovely to see. All returning customers have been given a free Lello keyring!
I am wearing red and black so for this picture I’ve put on our long red and black bead necklace ‘Saturn’ only £12.99, made from heavy duty plastic beads, to match I am also wearing the ‘Mars’ bracelet only £4.99 in red and black beads and my classic black pearl earrings, £5.00, which go with just about anything. (You can just see as well my Little Lello ‘Crocus’ pearl necklace I am wearing under my scarf today, although part of our children’s range I love it and it’s a lovely everyday necklace, only £5.99).
