The Sales and Support team model the new Summer collection.

You can feel the buzz of anticipation at Celtic HQ today with the thought of the long weekend ahead. Our Sales and Support team in particular are excited for the bank holiday with plans of rendezvous with friends and family to look forward to. Having had a few weeks to immerse themselves in the new Summer collection since the catalogue launched and after talking through the range with many excited customers over the phone, four members of the team were very eager to show off their favourite pieces from the collection.

For today’s blog post, the lovely ladies have kindly modelled their planned outfits for their relaxed bank holiday weekend outings to give you – our blog readers – some extra inspiration and so that you can put some faces to the friendly voices who answer the phone when you call Celtic Sheepskin!

First up, Lucy’s favourite piece in the collection is the Sheer Cable Knit, which she is beautifully modelling here...

As you can see, as well as black, this also comes in a gorgeous stone shade which would look fab with a tan! Lucy told me that she loves the Sheer Cable Knit because it is it is comfortably sheer with a pretty, delicate lace knit design. Lucy said that she thinks this is a really adaptable piece: she could wear it during the day on the beach, then on to the evening, for a smart/casual look. She could picture herself drinking cocktails at the beach bar on Fistral beach (here in Newquay), over some skinny jeans. Lucy, I couldn’t agree more!

Vicky’s favourite pick was the more casual Bamboo 2 Pocket Tee in Smoke/Smokey Grey Stripe...

Vicky is a loyal fan of our jersey range and owns quite a few of our bamboo and organic pieces. She said that she loves how practical the tops are to wear yet they still make a statement – something which other standard tees don’t always do. Vicky explained that she loves the longer sleeves on the Bamboo 2 Pocket Tee because she feels the cold easily and is always on the lookout for generous sleeves. She also likes the length and how it sits flatteringly on the hips.

Tess was keen to model her favourite cardigan from the summer collection, the Cotton Box Cardigan…

I love the accessories Tess chose too. The bag is our Raffia Spotted Basket (medium – it also comes in large and small sizes) and I had to take a close-up shot of Tess’s shoes – the Tie Espadrilles – to show how well they work with jeans. Tess loves the Cotton Box Cardigan because of its intense colour which she finds goes with most other colours in her wardrobe and the feel of the cotton which she said is cosy and soft yet light for summertime. As well as with the bag and espadrilles above, she pointed out that it can be dressed down with jeans and a complementary scarf for daytime or dressed up over a maxi dress with her favourite silver jewellery for an evening out.

Last but by no means least; Lorraine modelled her favourite Summer collection item, the Short Suede Jacket…

I just love the poster in the background behind Lorraine - great positioning (it’s as if we planned it!). I also love this jacket and I think Lorraine looks great. This is her favourite piece because of its wonderfully flattering shape and the fact you can wear it during the day casually and then slip it on over a dress for the evening. The adaptable colour can be worn with so many different prints and colours too.

Thank you ladies – you all look fabulous!
