Duvet Days every day

No Debutante's current new obsession is Bristol fashion designer and upcycling extraordinaire Duvet Days

Every time I see these sassy and sustainable gems, made from upcycled duvets and retro fabrics, I want to own them all! From the fun trousers to the cutest little summer co-ords with their cropped tops and shorts and more recently, the very on trend, Bardot style ruffle top and shorts co-ord.

As soon as I clapped my eyes on the Bardot, (spotted on Duvet Days instagram) I was straight on the blower to designer Emma White requesting her latest fabrics to choose my next Duvet Day garms! 

Yes, you can actually choose your fave styles and from a selection of the latest Duvet Days collected vintage fabrics you can create your own bespoke garms, made for you in a matter of weeks (days even)!

My first Duvet Days purchase was off the peg from the That Thing Festival launch party, (you can also buy ready made Duvet Day garms at That Thing in Bristol) a pair of  super comfy vertical striped trousers that are a flattering yet, baggy fit, that nips in at the high waist. Emma then kindly made me a matching top, that was reversible  with stripes and spots! 

These garms have become staples for me over this hot summer so I just had to get me more Duvet Days! The trousers are so comfy that I needed another pair asap! I choose a 90's inspired print in blues, greens and coral pink shapes for the trousers and just had to get a Bardot short set made up for my summer hols, for this combo I choose a yellow fabric with pink polka dots. 

This co-ord is the cutest outfit and perfect for summer!

I just love all my Duvets Days garms and the bonus is, if you are a print clash lover like me, you can mix and match these lovely garms as seperates! The possibilities are endless! I think I feel another post coming on! 

Alongside the unisex trousers and cute short sets Duvet Days also creating colourful shirts, dresses, sweatshirts halter tops plus the cutest range of kidswear featuring  cute lil' skirts and baby bibs aswell as the Duvet Days staples. Prices start from £7 for kidswear up to approx £60 for adults garms and don't forget you can get bespoke items made too! 


Get your reversible crop top at Duvet Days and mix and match with your wardrobe!

Pebbles Patch

I really think I need to curl up and hibernate during the winter months, another week, another illness....It is very frustrating!!! I did manage to attend and DJ at my quarterly club night Bang last Friday and thoroughly burned my illness away by enthusiastically dancing for a few hours. Sometimes a night out is just what you need! Whilst at Bang I was chatting to my friend and regular at the club about this very blog post, the lady in question is Janine Curry who has a super cool Bristol UK based, kitsch and retro inspired children's wear label Pebbles Patch.

Pebble's Patch caught my eye with its vintage and retro style fabrics,bright colours, Kawaii cute prints, sixties style baby pinafore dresses and adorable retro printed cuddly toys. As you know, I do love anything vintage and retro inspired and Pebbles Patch's mix of prints, styling and vintage inspired products make you want to own every piece!! 

Janine started making little vintage inspired dresses and toys for her daughter Martha (who is a little younger than my daughter Sylvie) in original thrifted 1960s and 1970s fabrics and then decided to start up her own label selling kitsch print baby dresses, handmade cuddly toys, bunting, cushions and even a few prints of her own sixties and seventies inspired illustrations. 

Janine has informed me that Pebbles Patch is work in progress and that she hopes to add more children's wear lines for both boys and girls in the future. I was very glad to hear this as my only gripe was that the dresses currently only go up to 18 months old, so I am very excited to think I can dress little Sylvie in a Pebbles Patch dress in the near future!
