The unique and charming world of ChloBo!

ChloBo needs no introduction and is very much part of The Dressing Room family.  We simply love it!

The appeal of ChloBo has always been the unique and interesting charms, the designer Chloe Moss sources and uses on all her pieces.  Behind every charm is a meaning making each individual piece all the more special.  We thought it would be a nice idea to share some those with you.

The Humming Bird

Considered to be a symbol of peace, love and happiness.  In native American culture, it symbolizes timeless joy and the enjoyment of life.  It’s a symbol for accomplishing all that seems impossible and will teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from you own life circumstances.

The Tassel

The tassel is used as a symbol of protection.  The belief being that its liquid like movement is used to confuse and distract evil and negativity.

Angel Wing

It is believed that Angels are messengers from heaven who are here to love, support, comfort, protect, heal and guide us.  Wearing an angel wing charm is a symbol of their divine presence in your life.  The wing can also symbolise your aspiration to reach greater heights.

The Bell

The Bell is said to ward off evil spirits.  It is also a symbol of you wedding day and can help prevent from any wrong doings happening on the big day.  What a fabulous pre wedding gift for someone special?!

The Elephant

A symbol of wisdom, luck and loyalty.  Keep a lucky elephant with you to protect from bad luck and to stimulate good luck for always.  The elephant attains old age and with it brings wisdom.  They are highly revered for their strength and power.

The Dragonfly

A symbol of courage, strength and happiness.  Who would have thought something so small and fragile could hold such power.

These are just some of the wonderful charms she uses and their meanings.  If you have a ChloBo piece with a charm that you would like to know more about then do drop us an email.

Last Spring Summer ChloBo launched their gorgeous JuJu collection which was named after the designers favourite beach bar in Barbados.  This Spring  Summer she is about to wow us with her Stunning Dreamlands collection.  So excited!

Dreamland is Bali’s number 1 most beautiful beach and deemed one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.  A chance meeting on this very beach with a woman that was making silver bracelets was all the inspiration Chloe needed to set up her own dream of ChloBo and make it the name for her 2012 Spring Summer collection.

I need to be transported there right now!

The Dreamlands collection is a mouthwatering array of pastel colours which are not only a reflection of the bohemian roots where ChloBo began but are bang on trend for spring summer.  She uses beautifully coloured stones which symbolise inner peace, relieve stress and dissipate negative energy to name just a few.

One shirt, our three favourite ways to style it!

Beautiful Equipment Silk Snake Skin Print Shirt.

Here at the Dressing Room we all love Equipment, its this seasons must have designer and its collection of shirts can be worn in so many ways, they are a true wardrobe staple and a must have item for everybody. We all adore Equipment so much we decided to choose our favourite shirt and style it up in three different ways to give you some ideas of how to wear them. Our personal winner has to be this gorgeous, sheer Silk Snake Skin Printed Shirt from Equipment. Our stylists have been very busy this week and even though it was very hard to decide, finally agreed and narrowed it down to just three out of the many possibilities. We would love to know what you think and if you have any ideas of your own please get in touch with us or you could always post them to our Facebook Page.

Laid back and sophisticated, the perfect daytime look.

Teaming up this gorgeous Equipment Printed shirt with some of our all time favourite layering items from American Vintage creates this casual, laid back outfit great for everyday wear but still glam and gorgeous. This Massachusets Garnet coloured tank is perfect for adding a flash of colour and looks amazing with the open shirt, creating that relaxed style. Mixing and matching different bracelets from our much loved jewelery designer Chlobo completes this outfit, our top tip is bulk up and layer up for the ultimate effect, the more the better. The Smoulder collection from Chlobo is perfect for this outfit, the garnet and silvers really compliment this shirt and this caramel satchel bag is a must have item and spot on trend. Its by Lilifi and although it isn’t available on our website you can give us a ring on 01727853577 to order one or talk to one of our style advisers.

The Smart but Feminine look!

Ultra stylish and super smart, this shirt looks great teamed with this pair of  light brown shoe boots from fab designer Lola Cruz and these gorgeous,  J Brand, slimming Black Skinny Flares really complete this look, its perfect for what ever the occasion. This outfit would also look great with this Jocasi brown Keyda Python Bag, perfect for fitting all the essentials in but still stylishly cool.

Lastly we have our super sexy, sophisticated and glamorous outfit which is ideal for a night out. This sheer Equipment shirt looks great teamed with a black Lace Camisole from Hanky Panky and these stunning Vintage Stallion Skinny Jean Jodhpur from J Brand. With there velvet details on the pockets and knee patches they are are a modern twist on the more traditional Jodhpur. I love the zip detail at the ankles perfect for wearing with these irresistible heels from Lola Cruz.

Great look for a night out!
