Teacher treats.

End of semester is on its way and summer holidays are approaching fast! To say thank you to the best teachers out there we at agnes and cecil have put our thinking heads together to comprise a fab list of our top five best teacher presents (things they actually want….that don’t cost the earth!).  So here's our lesson in great present buying for your no.1 teachers…..

1. Candles: Set the mood and the aroma in their homes with lovely candles great usable decorations and can eliminate all unpleasant smells/moods/end of semester blues!! There's a fab selection at agnes and cecil.  

2. Mugs: For all notorious tea drinkers, what’s better than a perfect cup of tea? A perfect mug! What a selection we have at agnes and cecil, from pip studio to disaster designs we have it all- quirky, cute, classy, vintage all shapes and sizes available to suit any shape or size!

3.Shoppers: For all eco warriors to savvy shoppers, one of my fave gifts is the fabulous shopper! Saves you 5p at every transaction and looks beautiful to boot! Check out this pip studio fave!

4. Notebooks: Teachers love (try) to be organised and what is more useful than a lovely little notebook to write lists/agendas/ideas.  We have a wide selection in store for ladies and gents of every age and variety.

5. Water bottles/Flasks: Keep your teacher hydrated and topped up, after all the studies that have showed hydration is linked to concentration makes a great reason to ensure we help them keep in tip top shape!

Coral Crazy

Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!

As the flowers blossom and the birds sing here at agnes and cecil we are all geared up for spring! Woohoo! Goodbye dark days and hello light evenings and dare I say it - we are heading for the flip flop season! To brighten up our wardrobes and banish the blues we are going coral crazy! One of this seasons must have colours, it will brighten up any outfit and make you ready for a parade on the most fashionable promenades.  So if you’re getting ready for the wedding/holiday/night of the year here’s our top five coral picks:

1. Potential Pip Studio perfection, this beauty also comes in vintage white and taupe and we think its just delightful. It features all of the wonders of spring - flowers, butterflies and birds. Just like us it comes in different shapes and sizes and there’s even a very luscious baby bag. 

 






2. Step back for this season’s best trend….bold and beautiful jewellery! We have lots of colours and varieties but here's my fave coral piece…….

3. For that special occasion coming up, here is one of our new pieces hot off the press, perfection with all of the spring colours for adding the extra wow factor to your spring ensemble.

4.For chillier afternoons here’s one of our oh so soft scarves.  (Can also be used as a sarong for those lucky enough to get to the beach!)

5. Last but definitely not least is one of our popular leather satchels. Did you know that these wonderful little satchels are made from the off cuts of leather shoes...ethical and fabulous what more could you want?

Statement Stunners

Twinkle twinkle little star, shine like the diamond that you are….

January blues are over....Hooray!! Spring is on the way and what fabulousness has agnes and cecil got in store for you! Jewels glorious jewels in all array of colour and variety. 

Jewellery has been around since the dawn of time as the universal form of adornment.  Over history we have used everything to jazzle ourselves - shells, stones and even bones! It was worn as a form protection from danger or as a mark of rank or status.  Thank goodness though we’ve moved on a bit from then and now jewellery is used for every occasion to jazz up an outfit or to just make you feel a bit more "with it"!!

So what has the fashion moguls got in store for us this spring/summer?  Well its big and beautiful.  Colourful flowers, big and bold ethnic pieces which generally will make such a statement that everyone will be wondering where you shop.   At agnes and cecil we think we have it down to a "T" with wonderful chunky pieces that will make you go Wow instead of Whoa!

So here is the proof in the pudding….
