Jamhill — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:25:13 +0000

Flip flops and sandals from Grendha are built to last. But like most things, they still have a shelf life. So, what do you do with your flip flops when they’ve had their last trip to the beach? Actually, there are quite a few things you can do with an old pair...

The right flip flops for your wedding

Jamhill — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:04:44 +0000

As any bride-to-be will tell you (myself included!) your footwear choice is almost as important as your choice of dress on the big day. While your dress will be the item that will wow your guests, your shoes need to be, above all things, comfortable. But stylish too.

If celebs were flip flops: JLo and the Grendha Glam

Jamhill — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:00:00 +0000

No one does bling quite like Jennifer Lopez. Whether it was back in the day when she was Jenny From The Block, rocking gold hoop earrings and sports luxe before sports luxe was even in fashion, or the current day when she does classy with a touch of sparkle.

Whether she’s soaring up the charts with her latest dance track, or being applauded for her latest movie, JLo is a success at everything she does.

Trend spotlight: bubblegum colours

Jamhill — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:13:54 +0000

In our ongoing series on S/S12 Trends, we look at the young and fun alternative to pastels - bubblegum colours. Thanks to stars like Nikki Minaj and Katy Perry, Japanese modern culture and the popular Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa shoes, bubblegum colours have never been more popular - and the more cartoon-like the better. The jelly material more commonly remembered for those beach shoes worn in the 90s is now better known for this particular trend.

Want to grab a bit of this look for yourself? Here are our top two suggestions:

Trend spotlight: Sports Luxe

Jamhill — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 08:00:00 +0000

Last week, we spoke about S/S12’s girliest trend - pastel. Understandably, not everyone loves the overly girly look. Which is where Sports Luxe comes in. Sports luxe is exactly what it sounds like - a luxurious take on the sporty look. We’re not talking shell suits here - but tailored and practical looks and lots of bright colours. Imaging a neon vest top with smart skinny black trousers and heels or fashionable but practical footwear.

If you’re after a laid back look for the day or an unusual evening look, Sports Luxe might be your trend to try this season.

Jamhill — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 20:36:17 +0000

When it comes to fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2012, there was one particular look that inspired everyone, from the fashion magazines to the high street. Pastels. At last, those who create fashion and those that follow fashion could play with an exciting palette of pretty colours, leading to some very girly catwalk shows.

Pastels are just as popular in footwear too. Gone are the clumpy boots of summer (yes, even when it’s pouring with rain!) and in are the fun pastel colours.

One of the great things about the internet is the vast array of people you get to talk to each day. Whether it's an email, a help chat session or a boring old traditional telephone call (we really prefer these but it seems to be less popular now), we still get a various number of question on a regular basis.

Don't you know it's Lady Day?

Up until 1752 the 25th March used to be the start of the new year. It was in 1752 that the calendar moved from the Julian Calendar to the present Gregorian Calendar system. When the calendar system changed to the Gregorian system the year was reduced by 13 days, meaning what was originally the 25th March became the 6th April. You can still find remnants of the old New Years day in the UK and other countries. For example the new tax year still starts on the 6th April in the UK.
