The designers have spoken and fashion has followed. Lets hear it for colour !
Finally an end to the drab colours of winter, Spring is on its way - there was definately sun here in Peterborough yesterday, daffodils are emerging, and its all starting to look a bit more positive in the world, ok our my tiny corner of the world...
Citrus brights are the de rigeur colours for Spring 2009. Thank heavens for that ! I think everyone looks better for a bit of colour, its just a case of working out which colours suit you.
Fashion colours for Spring are eclectic (when aren't they huh !) On the colour front -Vibrant popping electric brights compete with soft sorbet tints. In the red range, warm rose and hot shocking pink are the popular tones While in the aqua spectrum there's deep green, bright green, jade aqua and deep lapis blue. Monochromes so far include slate grey, black, fawn and navy. While the key colours - yellows, tangerine and orange are going to be the biggies this season....
On the jewellery front, bold, chunky and contrasting seemed to be the message from the catwalks, Big rings, stacked bangles and a mixture of colour and texture. Luckily we have the jewellery to fulfill on these fashion dictates. As well as a return to the 80's (those of us who remember them, are not soooo pleased about this particular forage into fashion) and some wicked prints - floral and extreme. There's also a resurgence of the dress, and with contrasting colours, so this is going to be a bright and cheery Spring, heaven knows its long overdue, so lets enjoy it while we can...
Can't wait to see those daffodils emerging !

Don't forget your mum ! Mothering Sunday March 22nd
To go forwards, sometimes you have to go backwards first ! We went back in time to check out the origins of Mothering Sunday, and we're very thankful that we get more than one day off a year !
Although no one is absolutely certain exactly how the idea of Mothering Sunday began, we do know that about four hundred years ago, people made a point of visiting their nearest big church (the Mother Church). People who visited their mother church would say they had gone "a mothering." Young English girls and boys 'in service' (maids and servants) were only allowed one day to visit their family each year. This was usually Mothering Sunday.
Flowers were the traditional gift to take, as the young girls and boys would have to walk home to their village, and could gather them on their way home through the meadows.
Following on from this story of old traditions, flowers are considered to be the gift to take on Mothering Sunday, whilst hearts never go out of style.
Reba has some gorgeous flower and heart jewellery to celebrate this special day. However you choose to celebrate this day, just be thankful that we get more than one day off per year, that sounds a bit harsh to us !!

Fashionistas go fuzzy over Legomen jewellery!
Remember the good old days, when all you had to worry about was what time Knight Rider was on, or whether Steve Austin would catch the bad guy? Well, these lego men pendants will cheer your day up, and best of all, you won't have to battle your brother to get one !
Although, for a first blog this is totally random, who doesn't love lego ! They give you such a fuzzy nostalgic feeling. The little characters are so cute, they positively zing with humour and personality. If you battled with your brother, your cousin or your neighbour over lego men, well now you can get your own back with our fabulously playful lego men necklaces.
There's Darth Vader, Fireman, Biggles and Ghost - and a whole host more, they come on an 18" silver plated necklace and they're a real talking point. They're made by jewellery designer Becky Wignell and they're available at Reba - for a limited time.
Did you know that the company behind Lego was formed in 1932, but it wasn't until 1934 that it settled on the name - which comes from the Danish 'Leg Godt', which means 'Play Well'. In Latin, 'Lego' means 'I put together'. At first the company made wooden toys but by 1958 the company started making the familiar coloured bricks although it wasn't until 1978 that the little figures with the half-moon hands and yellow heads that we all remember fromour childhoods became available.
Check them out soon, for a fun fashion fix !
