How to Rock Leather and Beat the Heat?


Leather is a staple fabric this season and with the weather cooling try small accents of leather on any garment. Working it onto a little black dress is pure genius, see Rebecca Taylor's AW12 collection in Bullets and Butterflies.

A whole stack of memories never equals one little hope.

Stack them high. Bangles add a little funk to an ordinary outfit, play around with colours and shapes to really make a statement. Clashing colours and sizes add depth to your ensemble, see how we have done it with our Eddie Borgo, Dominic Jones and Maria Francesca Pepe ranges all at Bullets and Butterflies.

VOGUE December issue (sneak preview)

 At Bullets and Butterflies we have managed to get our sticky fingers on a sneak preview of Vogue UK's main fashion shoot featuring Cutler and Cross sunglasses. Feast your eyes on these!













Cutler and Gross (Mens Fashion)

A-Morir is a big name to stand up to (see previous post), who else but Cutler and Gross could compete against them even though Cutler's designs are more reserved. The Cutler and Gross customer has always been an individual, craving the handcrafted feel of a bespoke pair of glasses, the tiny inaccuracies that give them character and make them unique to the wearer. 


My idea of design is a bit old-fashioned. It should be practical, functional then look good – in that order”
— Graham Cutler, February 2008


A-Morir



A-Morir designs are as flamboyant as you are going to get for a pair of sunglasses. Rita Ora has been snapped in a pair of A-Morir’s recently as well as many other celebrities such as Katie Perry and Lady Gaga.  At Bullet and Butterflies we stock an array of different individual styles. These exclusive hand made glasses not only put you high up the fashion radar, they are also great fun (their best attribute is they go with almost anything!) They even go well with our mannequin!

Vivid Dreams and Fragile Machines




In "Vivid Dreams and Fragile Machines", Shaden's first solo in the region, each image expresses its own narrative, describing a curious world where dreams and nightmares merge. Each photograph peers into lives of characters that the viewer will find both intriguing and bizarre. Shaden leads you down a rabbit hole where vast landscapes and rich hues contain larger than life protagonists who appear to be troubled and freed. GPP is located - Alserkal Avenue gallery complex in Al Quoz.
What to wear? Team up a smart and casual combo with bold accessories for this expressive showcase, this works so well for men and women.

Hallo(win) Win Situation: Costume Ideas

While your Halloween invites have been piling up and ideas running out, we worked on  creating some looks from 'everyday' pieces that you can REALLY wear afterwards. 

Most looks are retro inspired but be sure that you can dress up and down these elements as you please.

Rock City Chic! Rock, Rock City Chic!



Let me start by stating that there's something so clean and deliciously straightforward, yet inexplicably intriguing about a blue shirt with....literally anything. 

This polished yet relaxed look is no exception and will get you turning heads by default on city streets. The boyish charm channeled through the leather jacket (Iro) and blue shirt (MiH) mixed with suuuuper feminine detail (sunglasses:Cutler & Gross, earings: Mawi, mini satchel: Angel Jackson, scarf: Lara Bohinc) will result in a myriad of  both compliments and envy. 

Rely on this look to tick your 'simple sophistication' box.
