Radley AW16 Collection

Radley's London origin is an endless source of inspiration. This season gathers inspiration from uncovered writers, collectors and eccentrics, independent in character and not afraid to think outside the box.

The AW16 Collection is dedicated to the inventive form and playful use of colour that Radley's nonconformist heroines have brought to the world. The autumn collection has a palette of wonderfully warming colours, blending joyful pink and yellow hues with rich navy blue and bottle green.

Luxurious leathers set the scene for an effortlessly elegant new season, while half-moons, A-line silhouettes and structured shapes create and 'unputdownable' appeal.

The season's designs combine beautifully crafted handbags and purses with unique Radley details to give work-to-weekend outfits and unexpected twist.

25 Years of Bobbi Brown BE WHO YOU ARE

BE WHO YOU ARE
To mark 25 years of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, the brand is celebrating Bobbi's original mantra: Be Who You Are with a new campaign that embraces the brand's past, present and future. Anchored in self-confidence, this new campaign pays tribute to the brand's empowering philosophy from the beginning- that with the right makeup, tools and knowledge, a woman can look like herself only prettier and more confident.

Be Who You Are honours over 40 women-models, teachers, athletes, writers, activists and mothers, ranging in ethnicity and age, from 13 to 83.
The scope of the campaign-four days of shooting, behind the scenes photos, videos and interviews with each of the women and more than 500 gorgeous before and afters-speaks to the breadth of the brand. Bobbi personally cast each woman and celebrates their personalities and their style-natural, radiant, strong, classic, authentic, bold. Women of all ages can easily find themselves in this campaign and can explore different looks that relate to them personally.
The brand started with an edited collection of 10 lipsticks in 1991. From Salmon to Beige to Brown, the flattering shades stood out from the bright, garish lipsticks that were the trend of the 80's and the response was incredible.
With every product launch thereafter, it has been Bobbi's mission to deliver a range of makeup colours and products that works for all skin tones, as well as meets the needs of women around the world. The concept that makeup could celebrate individuality regardless of passing trends was disruptive 25 years ago. Today, it is a part of a global empowerment movement that Bobbi is proud to have helped pioneer-the secret to beauty is simple: Be who you are.

Pret Smoothies

Pret a Manger have just launched their new collection of ice cold fruit smoothies, made with a delicious blend of real fruit and apple juice. Pret's smoothies are special: there's no added sugar, syrups or flavourings. Instead, the Barista-prepared drinks are made with real fruit that's been fast frozen to lock in all of the flavour and nutrients and to ensure they are chilled to perfection. They don't even add ice (so the smoothies don't get watered down).

All smoothies are blended to order, keeping them super fresh, full of flavour and smoothie (not watery) top to bottom. There are five smoothies in the collection:

Passion Pop
This smoothie is packed full of real fruit. Chopped pineapple, mango and passion fruit blended together with pressed apple juice.

Berry Blast
Mixed from a handful of raspberries, chopped mango and blackberries and frozen, the Baristas then whizz this in a blender with a splash of pressed apple juice.

Strawberry & Banana
A frozen smoothie with the flavour of fragrant garden strawberries. Blended with banana, apple and tangy lemon juice.

Mango
A colourful smoothie made with squished mangoes, bananas and passion fruit.

Melon & Basil
A freshly blended smoothie made with fragrant melon, banana raspberries and a hint of basil. Made with 100% real frozen fruit.

Feeling fruity? Ask the barista.

Dr. Martens X Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Dr. Martens have partnered with Nickelodeon to create a collection based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Inspired by the original 1987 television series, this collection consists of four styles available in all sizes for Men, Women and Kids.
Rising from the sewers, four pizza-loving and hard fighting brothers, 'the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles', strive to master the martial arts, build unlikely friendships and protect their family, their city, and the world from ever-increasing threats. Initially a cult hit after just one comic, TMNT exploded around the world and became one of the most popular children's cartoons of all-time.

This collection stands for being radical and rebellious self-expression. What do you stand for?
Available now from The Exchange's Dr. Martens store, in conjunction with the international launch of the anticipated film 'Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles: Out of the Shadows'.
