Cult girls jewellery brand Molly Brown London is launching a Care and Advice section on its website. The stylish website which houses some of the most desirable designer girls’ jewellery available on the virtual shelves has added a helpful and informative section, which will no doubt prove to be extremely useful for customers. The Care and Advice area offers specific sections dealing with the care of various precious metals, gemstones and pearls.

The Pearl Care Section focuses on the care of freshwater pearls and advises on cleaning and the best way to store pearls. The Silver Care section again, offers helpful advice on cleaning 925 sterling silver and ways of avoiding silver tarnishing.

Particular care should be taken when cleaning stones and gemstone jewellery too and so the Gemstone Care section is extremely pertinent; particularly since this super stylish brand only uses coloured gemstones within its collections - you won’t find any costume jewellery here!

The Gold Care section underlines how important it is not to wear gold jewellery in swimming pools; so please make sure that any little Molly Brown fans carefully remove any jewellery before jumping in and store their necklaces and bracelets in a safe place.

The Molly Brown Collections feature many enamel charms and enamel and sterling silver charms and so it is useful to know also how to care for enamel pendants and enamel necklaces as well.

As well as offering jewellery care information, Molly Brown has added a Sizing Section. This section provides guidelines when buying necklaces and bracelets for girls of all ages. Molly Brown London offers 14”, 16”, 18” and a new 32” chain and advises on the age groups that are most suitable for each length chain. Similarly with its’ silver bracelets, small and large sizes are available to suit most ages.

The Size Guide has been introduced as a direct result of the wide ranging appeal of the simple, sophisticated and very classic style of Molly Brown jewellery. The online store offers a fantastic Gift Guide, so if you are searching for a christening gift for a girl, there is an excellent selection of beautiful christening jewellery to choose f r o m. Similarly mollybrownlondon.com is a destination website for soon-to-be brides searching for ideal bridesmaids gifts; the beautiful bridesmaid jewellery found within the Bridesmaids Gift Guide would make a perfect ‘thank you’ present for any bridesmaid or flower girl.

Naartjie, the original name in fashionable kid-friendly childrens clothes, has announced the arrival today of its new Summer Two line for children and infants of ages 0-10. The latest collection features the company’s usual comfortable, high quality fashions in a fresh new palette of colors and original print patterns that evokes summertime at the beach.

“The latest Summer Two collection arrives with a distinctly retro beach vibe, with an exotic tropical feel for girls and a classic California surf style for boys,” said Joe Norwood, director of marketing, Naartjie USA. “As is our goal with each new collection, our designers have brought cool, fashionable styles to infants’ and children’s clothes.”

Naartjie’s Summer Two line for girls sports an easy, care-free style and takes its inspiration from exotic destinations around the world, from India to Indonesia. Naartjie’s large scale “village floral” print evokes images of a lush tropical Balinese village, and coordinates with crisp “indo” spot and “global” stripe prints to create unique, beach-style color combinations. Sequins, embroidery, bronze glitter prints and dip dyes add to the global style of the collection, which is completed by colorful mix and match shorts and tank tops.

Naartjie’s boys Summer Two collection draws inspiration from 1960‘s Southern California surf culture, copping its retro look and feel from vintage iconography, featuring “woodie” surfboards, long boards, beach shacks and old movie posters. The collection’s color palette, which includes shades of turquoise, island, banana and reddish mars was created to evoke fiery summer sunsets, crystal clear water and long, hot summer days spent at the beach.

Summer Two for newborn girls mixes whimsical “b-bird” and “indo” spot prints to create fun, quirky styles. Soft shades of dew and ballet combine with bright summer“budgie” and “parrot” colors feature in a variety of rompers, one-pieces, shorts, tunics, long shorts, harem pants, tunic, dresses, and bodysuits.

The newborn boys’ collection also gets the old-school California surf treatment, with surfboard and palm tree graphics in a palette of dark brown mixed with retro orange and frosty blue and multicolored “Vegas” stripe and “vintage” stripe patterns. Denim adds to the relaxed, beach look.

Naartjie designs, colors, prints, and styles represent a truly unique synthesis of European fashion trends with western casual lifestyle. Featuring a dominant focus on natural fabrics that are garment-dyed, pre-washed and pre-shrunk for easy wear, low maintenance and comfort, Naartjie uses a garment dye process that results in a more vibrant color and softer clothing and accessories for precious little ones.

With reductions on our Fall Transition Collection, and great values f r o m the Fall One collection, Naartjie sets new standards in affordable back-to-school shopping.”

Even the headband has kitty ears! Stripes and heart prints are mixed in for an adorable, playful look. For newborn boys, elephants, rhinos and giraffes are mixed in Naartjie’s delightful Knysna print, named for the beautiful town in South Africa.

Naartjie, the original name in fashionable, kid-friendly clothing, announced today the arrival of its new, Summer Two line of clothing for infants and children. In addition, Naartjie is offering 25 percent off all online girls’ dresses and online boys fashion shorts through April 22, 2009.

“Spring is here and summer is right around the corner and Naartjie is making a splash with new Summer Two looks for this season’s hottest kids styles,” said Joe Norwood, director of marketing, Naartjie USA. “As we make room for new items, we invite our online customers to take advantage f 25% savings off all girls dresses and all boys fashion shorts when they make purchases on our web site.”

Free spirited bohemian style inspires Naartjie girls’ Summer Two collection. Chunky crocheted lace trims, crinkled muslin fabrics and carved wooden buttons combine with casual loose fitting silhouettes to create the look. Dipped dyed muslin dresses and pants add to the hippie vibe. The line is comprised of three main prints inspired by beautiful Moroccan mosaics that are eclectically combined with our large “Eco Floral” print. The three prints mix and match in our $12 Necessities skirts and tanks create fun and easy outfits perfect for long summer days.

The Naartjie boy’s Summer Two line is inspired by South Africa’s surfing scene at Jeffery’s Bay. Graphics such as surfboards, waves, and palm trees combine with bold colors, crush dyed skulls, and checkered tees to give the line a punk rock edge. Color plays a very important part with a palette inspired by the reds and oranges of summer sunsets and the blue and green colors of the sea. Unexpected pops of neon orange and neon green add a splash of color and excitement inspired by summer.

For infants, Naartjie Summer Two features a “Fun in the Sea” boys’ newborn line starring Snorkeling Pup and his friend Booh, a mischievous practical joker. “Pretty in Plaid” blends bohemian plaids in shades of pink and purple combined with pretty Sundance floral to create our Boho newborn girl line. Feminine details such as embroidered eyelet, scalloped lace trims, and ruffled frills add sweetness and whimsy to the line.

Naartjie designs, colors, prints, and styles represent a truly unique synthesis of European fashion trends with western casual lifestyle. Featuring a dominant focus on natural fabrics that are garment-dyed, pre-washed and pre-shrunk for easy wear, low maintenance and comfort, Naartjie uses a garment dye process that results in a more vibrant color and softer clothing and accessories for precious little ones.

The ultimate in mix and match, Naartjie introduces new colors, prints and styles within a monthly grouping to allow customers to mix and match across the entire assortment. In addition, shoppers can mix and match between Naartjie collections, which showcase the freshest and broadest color assortment in the industry, distinctive detailing, mixing of fabrics, appliqués and embroidery details.
