A new concept for Kelso - Joanne Ayling - opened its doors last week showcasing pre-owned designer-wear alongside brand new fashion accessories for the discerning diva in town. No two visits will be the same as vintage and retro styles mix with the pizzazz of the new to create one-off outfits for the festive season, and beyond. If you live near-by, make sure you pay a visit before committing yourself to an outfit from anywhere else!

An enticing selection of new autumn designs spanning hairbands, necklaces and corsages have this week hit Fifi & Ally, the fashion and lifestyle store extraordinaire, in upmarket retail environment Princes Square, off Buchanan Street in Glasgow, and their flagship store on Wellington Street in the financial district.
This is an exciting new outlet for Cotton Candy Corsage, and just in time for the new fashion season (HUGE tactile corsages encrusted with vintage buttons on beads on new winter coats) and gearing up for Christmas parties (slinky black and white necklaces and sparkly hairbands).
Visit the store now to check it all out, as Penelope revels in her sneak peak as she does what she does best…
The elves at Cotton Candy Corsage HQ have been busy these last months, while the rain has been battering the mean streets of Glasgow!
There are lots of new shapes and vintage, ‘upcycled‘ creations to get you in the autumn mood, and keep up with the mutation of the floral corsage as it makes the transition to the new season.

Look out for funky, wear-with-everything ‘button belles’ mounted on glitzy cards and mixing tartans. tweeds, beads, buttons and prints.
The more elaborate belles can take centre-stage on a new a/w Mac or trench, or simply to pin your printed silk-scarf in place, a la Gok’s Fashion Fix! Enjoy and look out for the designs hitting the website mid-September 2008…
