With our love for all things DIY and an obsession with arm parties, we’ve been brainstorming ideas and playing around with some of our own styles. Inspired by high-end jewellery favourites Dannijo and Tom Binns (among others), we’ve been drawn towards the mix of bright colours with clear crystals, and tried our hand at painting a few bracelets. Next up? Necklaces!
Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if anything, we’re using it as the perfect excuse to add a dash of sparkle and an extra heart or too into our lives. We styled a new window on Friday (which we’ll share soon) and are shooting another mini lookbook this week, so we’re currently all about gathering worthy inspiration.
Ban.do‘s lookbook is pretty much perfect, which is fitting considering their dedication to all things feminine and whimsical and the heart motif that finds itself on many of their pieces.

If you follow us on Instagram, you’ll already know that this past week we received our first shipment from LA line Wkshp at the shop, and we’ve been swooning over it ever since. It’s one of the many new lines we’ll be bringing in this season, and we’re incredibly excited about the simple and soft silhouettes, and the bold, colourful graphics. With a great price point (the tees are generally $50-60) and a number of amazing options, we’ll be receiving the line monthly from now on, and are looking forward to styling it for you.
We’ve had a number of requests for more ‘Outfitted’ posts, so as we began to receive our Spring pieces (and trust me, February is going to be packed with new deliveries), we’ll be sharing as much as we can here on the blog. For today, here are a couple of the styles we received this week, plus a number of our current favourite accessories that are perfect for layering.
Now's the perfect time to get creative with transitional dressing, mixing Spring's pastels and bright with neutrals and layers
We love the graphic print on this tee and the textured mix of blues and greens offset by the white outline
A wool cowl is a great way to winterize an outfit, especially with a brooch or pin to liven it up
Pistachio hues are popping up on our nails, and on this La Raffinerie necklace, with golds and a bright blue bracelet from Lauren ELan
Add bright punches of pink and yellow to an otherwise black and grey palette
A hand-dyed silk scarf by Denj is such a great way to add colour, especially offset by gold baubles by Lauren Elan
Loving the ombre fade effect in this graphic print
MIA loafers are always a great way to finish off an outfit, and Butter London's 'Black Knight' adds that always-essential dash of sparkle
With the new collection of Butter London arriving earlier this week, and some new bracelet options starting to trickle in, we decided to repeat our arm party feature from the summer and load up our wrists for a little accessorizing fiesta. So with a mixture of new options and old favourites, voila!

We love our sparkle here at Bicyclette, so we decided to top up our jewellery and accessories with some new pieces as we wait for our SS12 deliveries. Lots of glittery goodness and bright colours, with so much styling potential. The perfect way to get creative with your current wardrobe and add a little flair.
Ladies, it’s almost time to break out the sparkly dresses, pile on the jewellery and crack open that bottle of champagne!

We’ve been waiting for our delivery of Wildfox Sparkle Heart Jumpers for awhile now, so when they finally arrived today, it seemed appropriate that we jump right in and share them with you. With five different colour ways, there’s one for everyone, and we decided to take a slightly different approach and style them by colour for this post. This is probably our favourite silhouette from Wildfox, with it’s slouchy, vintage-wash silhouette, incredibly soft feel and perfect layering potential. And who can say no to a sparkly heart? The only problem is trying to decide on one colour.
We brought out the instax camera at last night’s holiday shoot, and I’m so glad we did. I always forget how much I love instant photos.
We’re planning a little last minute photo shoot this weekend for the Holidays and New Years Eve, so I thought I would share my inspiration board as I gather ideas and put together the theme. It’s looking like it’ll be a glam 60s “it girl” feel with a slightly disheveled quality and of course a dose of sparkle. Think sequin mini dresses and tangled, layered jewellery.
