New in at Godiva: Mollie Brown, Azura, Rowanjoy & more!

We might be having a late blast of sunshine over here in Edinburgh, but autumn is definitely on its way and the winter collections are rolling in at Godiva on almost a daily basis. There's plenty of new pieces I want to show you: the latest collections from some of our favourite designers, and some new-to-us brands too!

Rowanjoy
You might have seen some sneak peeks of Rowanjoy's Autumn/Winter collection on social media this week, since she was shooting her new pieces over at the Hill Street Design House - Rowan popped by Godiva yesterday afternoon to drop them off. We've some beautiful dresses, tops and a stunning chartreuse skirt that I have my eye on... be quick if you fancy any of these, one lucky customer snapped up a dress before I got the chance to photograph it!

Mollie Brown
I showed you the first drop of Mollie Brown's Autumn pieces a couple of weeks ago; they were a massive hit, so we've been treated to some more. Slightly different fabrics and colours this time round, but just as beautiful as before. We're particular fans of the winter kimonos, both Asta and I have one!

Azura
We have three dress styles from this Spanish brand, all of which are ideal for the colder weather. The fabric is lovely and thick, but really comfortable too. I especially like the elbow-length sleeves on the blue tweed dress - perfect for this odd inbetweeny weather!

Suzy D
I'm completely in love with these super soft knits by Suzy D. They're kind of an oversized jumper-cape-poncho hybrid, with a cowl neck and asymmetric hemline - ideal for those days where you can't face getting dressed up but still want to look like you've made an effort. Slip one over a pair of leggings or jeans and you're good to go!

Yoshi
I seem to discover a new favourite bag every time we get a delivery from Yoshi. The brand has fused Japanese style with British manufacturing, so you can expect simple but stylish designs all made in the UK from the best quality leather. We have these sweet little shoulder bags and satchels in brown, red and black.

New in this fortnight at Godiva: autumn stock!

The leaves have started falling off the trees, the students are arriving back in town and Starbucks have started serving pumpkin spice lattes again - it can only mean the start of Autumn is upon us! We've all been enjoying having a rifle through the beginnings of the Autumn/Winter deliveries, and they seem to be going down a treat with our customers too. Here's what's new at Godiva...

Everybody loves Queenie Browne's lavender-filled Scottie dogs, bunnies, badger and fox faces... and now our little scented woodland creatures have some adorable hedgehogs to join them. They're all handmade in Glasgow, and at just £9 they make the perfect gift - great for squeezing into suitcases too!

vintage scarf, £5; mustard cardigan, £39.95; forest skirt, £85 / forest dress, £159; runaway fox necklace, £20 / zebra necklace, £25; vintage blouse, £18.50; green cardigan, £39.95; snowstorm skirt, £87.50

Everybody loves Poppy! These beautiful pieces came in last week and we've already had to order in more of the dresses - but as a warning, these are the very last ones we'll be getting in. Not even the designer has any left! In true Poppy style, there's a new illustrated storybook that comes with each purchase. This season, the little girl Poppy and her faithful dog Fred go on an adventure through the woods to find the Hairy Scary Mammoth... the little animals you can see along the hem of the skirts and dresses are the ones Poppy and Fred meet on their adventure. So sweet!  

 

 thistle locket, £20; floral collared tee, £38; tartan skirt, £48 / friends & family locket, £20; floral collared tee, £38; checked skirt, £48; tartan kimono, £48

Mollie Brown's been working hard to bring us her Autumn/Winter collection too, and it's been a massive hit among the staff at Godiva. I've quickly snapped up one of the tartan kimonos and I've barely taken it off all weekend - it's so comfy and cosy! We've also got autumn-ified versions of the popular collared tee and these slightly longer-length skirts would look just gorgeous with a pair of well-worn vintage ankle boots.

 

kirkwood tee, £18

Look who's back! Edinburgh can't seem to get enough of the Bellfield 'Kirkwood' tee so we've ordered in some more - and this time you can choose from the original cream version, or this rather festive red one! I'm sensing a pretty big woodland animals theme at Godiva at the moment...

deadly nightshade necklace, £31.50; shift zip dress, £32; vintage belt, £8; eyelash cardigan, £32 / kissing swans necklace, £30; bow tea dress, £30 / sequinned collar, £15; lace dress, £38; vintage belt, £8

Also new in from Bellfield is this longer-length eyelash cardigan, seen here with Style London's new autumn/winter dresses. The Bellfield cardigan is incredibly soft, perfect for snuggling up in! I love the new dresses too, especially the super cute bow print one in the middle. The two black ones are ideal for any events or parties you might have coming up, and would last you right through until Christmas. I think the longer sleeves look really sophisticated, but they can be dressed up or down - so versatile!

 

New in at Godiva this fortnight

We've had such a variety of new items in the shop over the past couple of weeks: jewellery, clothing, postcards as well as an amazing vintage delivery. It would be impossible to show you everything, so I've taken some snaps of my favourite pieces and you'll just have to pop into the shop to see the rest!

We're getting very excited about Jenny's new venture, the Hill Street Design House, especially since some of our favourite designers will be based there! Rowanjoy popped in with some beautiful new dresses and skirts, the first pieces made for us from her new light and airy studio over at Hill Street; we've also had some fab scarves from Karen Mabon - did you spot Asta rocking the 'Robbery in a Sweet Shop' style as a turban on our Instagram over the weekend?

Rebecca Jane has treated us with so many new designs! We know you're big fans of her multiway bags (all made from recycled leather and vintage fabrics, the design means you can wear it in a tonne of different ways!) and we've got some new colourways in stock, as well as new clutch bag styles and iPad cases. 

 

Rebecca Jane multiway bag, £120

 

  We've also got lots of new stock from Mollie Brown: floral skirts and matching collared tops (wear as a set or mix and match!), collared vest tops and these beautiful floral cotton dresses. They're elasticated at the waist (perfect for those big dinners!) and look great cinched in with a coordinating belt.

Laura from Prints of Paradise came along to our blogger party (more on that later this week!) and brought some lovely new t-shirt designs with her - I've already snapped up one of the flamingo print ones! Genevieve Ryan was at the party too, and her new illustrated Edinburgh cards and postcards are proving very popular with both tourists and Edinburghers!

 

Prints of Paradise tees, £30; Genevieve Ryan postcards, £1.50

All of us here at Godiva have been cooing over the new And Mary delivery - who could resist an adorable porcelain giraffe? I already have the kissing flamingos necklace (sensing a theme here...), but am eyeing up the hummingbird one too. Or maybe the zebra! We've had some new little birdie necklaces and earrings from Alexis Southam, too. Can you believe they're all hand-drawn, then shrunk down to make these precious pieces? Adorable!

And I couldn't leave without showing you these sweet teddy bears...!

New in at Godiva this fortnight

Has it really been a fortnight since our last update? The summer is flying past! It's been a busy couple of weeks here at Godiva: Mollie Brown's summery vest tops have gone down a storm, we've had Poppy's cute-as-a-button 'Boats and Floats' skirts back in stock, Rowanjoy's treated us to some gorgeous new pieces and we've brought in a brand new local designer, By Jove, who turns old stamps and maps into quirky jewellery!

Mollie Brown's new lightweight vest tops come in sizes 8-10 and 12-14 in a range of patterns, some with cute collars and some scoop necked. Perfect for pairing with a summery skirt, or with jeans or denim cut-offs!

Poppy's Boats and Floats skirts come in sizes 8 to 14, in both red and indigo colourways - and they come with a little storybook inspired by the illustrations at the bottom of the skirts! This is one of only two of these Rowanjoy skirts made (there's also a dress made in that brilliant metallic material at the bottom of the skirt) so snap it up quick!

And last but not least... By Jove! As you can see, the stamps and maps have all been treated in different ways: some kept as they are, some cut down, some folded into fan shapes or that sweet little aeroplane. The dainty Queen's head earrings have been a big hit so far, but there's also treats for the guys with the cufflinks - spot the JFK ones at the back?

New in at Godiva this week

We've had Karen Mabon's bright and playful scarves, Bellfield's quirky prints and Mollie Brown's handmade tops and skirts in at Godiva before, but we always look forward to new deliveries from old favourites! Bellfield's new woodland animal patterned tees have been selling like hot cakes, and we've also restocked their popular safari print and mirrored parrot sweatshirts. We've got new colourways in Mollie Brown's super cute matching top-and-skirt sets - and some amazing new cotton and silk scarf designs from Karen Mabon! Which is your favourite?

Mollie Brown skirts, £48; Mollie Brown tops, £38

Karen Mabon silk scarf, £45

Bellfield tee, £18; Bellfield shorts, £25

We're also introducing a brand new designer duo to Godiva: Laura and Adrienne, aka Prints of Paradise! We're stocking three of Prints of Paradise's exotic, hand-drawn designs - their longer-length tees are unisex and made from a really soft fabric. I'm trying to persuade my boyfriend to buy one so we can 'share'!

Prints of Paradise tees, £30

Also new in recently are these colourful sequinned skirts and striped button-back tops from PIT, a cool Dutch brand, and some new Nonchalant designs. We already stock Nonchalant's baby-soft leather jackets, but now we have these lightweight cotton long-sleeved tops and beautiful black and white tribal print skirts and jackets.

PIT striped top, £45; PIT sequinned skirt, £50

Nonchalant top, £100; Nonchalant skirt, £75
