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

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?
