WE'VE MOVED!!

This may be our last post on this loyal and loving blogspot of ours! We have moved over to a brand new fancy website where our blog is built in but you can keep up with all of our ramblings, finds and favourite things over at 


Please be sure you keep checking because things are just getting good!
Thank You for reading and sharing! 



 GO TO WWW.WEARECOW.COM TO SEE MORE!!

BLOGGERS CHOICE: SARA WAISTE

The beautiful, ambre haired, boho babe that is Sara Waiste came to visit us at our Manchester Studio and made a selection of her favourite vintage items from We Are Cow. Being a vintage lover and connoisseur of style and fashion we were so happy when she agreed to come and rummage through our basement full of vintage ready to be shot and uploaded to our website.



Our in house Photographer Lucie Crewdson was on hand to take some gorgeous images of Sara wearing her chosen items. It was so good to see how much fun Sara had too with rails and rails of one off items, we'd almost go as far as to say there were definitely 'kid in a candy shop' vibes going on and we loved it. It's so nice to see someone really appreciate all of our stock and our work put into making We Are Cow online a success.

We asked Sara a few questions about her style, love for vintage and where she sees Sara Waiste in the future and heres what she said:

HEY SARA! THANKS FOR COMING IN TO SEE US. DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN MIND THAT YOU WANTED BEFORE YOU CAME IN?

I've actually been on a hunt for the perfect boho winter coat for months now, I'd bought a couple but didn't feel like they were 'the one' so I was hoping I'd find a treasure when I came in, but I wasn't expecting to find such an amazing one as yours! 



WHAT DID YOU THINK TO THE COW PRODUCTS ONLINE?

Good, a good selection of stuff and I really like the model choice, the girl with the blonde hair looks awesome.

WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THESE PARTICULAR ITEMS?

I've got a kind of boho hippy vibe to my look, so I wanted to choose products that reflected my own personal style! 


YOUR STYLE IS MOSTLY VINTAGE AND YOU RUN YOUR OWN VINTAGE COMPANY, SO WHAT IS IT ABOUT VINTAGE THAT KEEPS YOU SO EXCITED?

The thrill when you find some AMAZING one-of-kind piece of clothing you've never seen before that looks like it was made for you, is kind of like an addiction for me, I've always bought vintage and I've shopped in charity shops since since I was little. It's that feeling that you've got a piece of clothing that no one else has, it's different, and as someone who has never wanted to look like the same as anyone else I love that.

YOU HAVE SUCH A HUGE FOLLOWING ON INSTAGRAM NOW, WHAT IS IT ABOUT YOUR LOOK THAT KEEPS PEOPLE INTERESTED?

I honestly have no idea? Maybe it's Herschy (my fluffy cat) that everyone loves! I've always been myself, and styled everything my own way and people must like that I guess!


WHO DO YOU LOOK UP TO FOR STYLE INSPIRATION?

Definitely fellow bloggers, tumblr is a great one for inspiration and Stevie Nicks and Mary Kate Olsen are perfect boho babes.

WHO ARE YOUR MOST FAVOURITE FASHION BLOGGERS?

Ooh that's such a tough one! Helena for sure (www.bellsfashion.blogspot.com) she's a rainbow mega babe and so inspiring, Ashley from Purse in Boots has the best grungey boho style (http://pursenboots.blogspot.co.uk/) New ones I've recently discovered and love are Leticia (http://bohemiansbanquet.blogspot.co.uk/) and Muzzy Stardust (http://velvetgoldmine.pl/) And my Australian boho babe faves are Caitlin (http://celestial-calling.blogspot.co.uk/) Taylor (http://onyx-eye.blogspot.co.uk/) and Leana (coconutlemonandlime.blogspot.com) Omg there's LOADS more I love I want to put them all down but I will be here all day!

HOW DO YOU LIKE THE NEW WEBSITE?

Love it! A lot cleaner, brighter and way easier to navigate, and so much more to read and get inspiration from, the blog, trends and inspiration pages are brilliant!


DO YOU HAVE ANY STYLE TIPS FOR US THIS AW'13?

All about the layers…and the faux fur gilets, i'm obsessed with them at the moment!

WHERE DO YOU SEE SARA WAISTE IN 5 YEARS TIME?

I'd love to be working in my own studio and have a team working for me, expanding my label, and my vintage shop might even be a real shop? Would love to still be blogging away too, hopefully having bought lots more beautiful vintage clothes throughout the years! And maybe with another fluffy cat too...




Keep up with more news from Sara and if you do anything today, make sure you follow her blog and instagram so you don't miss any of Sara's perfect style!

NEW WEBSITE // NEW WEBSTE // NEW WEBSITE

You may have heard us shouting from the roof tops as well as here on the blog, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, that we are launching a Brand New Website this Friday 6th December!! As you can imagine we are pretty excited about this! In the last 2 months our web team has expanded from just two of us to a team of four, this has given us the chance to really focus on creating an inspiring website to reignite your love for We Are Cow and introduce a whole new bunch of customers who would may be wary of shopping vintage online!

The difference between this website and our last is that all items online are chosen by us, by picking out the best items from deliveries we receive from around the world. We have created a website that will continue to show one off, individual, vintage pieces to fuel your own style but also show how you can stay on trend and how wearing vintage could be the future of avoiding that embarrassing moment when you bump into someone with the exact same item of clothing as you. This is most important to us! Our new Trend section will help to navigate you through the most recent AW'13 trends with items chosen especially for that customer.


We think vintage has become so popular that people have forgotten why they love it and as avid vintage fans we are here to put that spark back into it. We always show our favourite street styles and looks and we think it is so important to have an individual style and that can be head to toe vintage or mixing it up with high street and designer. Whatever your style we are sure we will have something for you. 


With a dedicated team now we will make sure to keep the website constantly changing by adding relevant features, showing new Blogger's Choice, Street Style, Get The Look, Inspiration pages, Trends, our Blog and most importantly we are aiming to upload around 200 items per week that you will be able to search through easily thanks to our refine search tools such as category, size, brand, colour and price. All shot and modelled on our fantastic group of models who we approached because we love their own personal style, each male and female model shows how the item fits and wears it with a real life feel. We have kept all prices low so there will be no nasty surprises at the checkout, just quality one off, hand picked, fashion forward items for a reasonable price!


Before we launch the new website we have a Sale on our current site to make sure we don't have to upload any items that people have seen before, so don't miss out on some super bargains on there

We really hope everyone is as excited as us and you will enjoy shopping on the absolutely brand new WE ARE COW Website!!

See you on the other side
