REWORKED KNITWEAR: CUT IT SHORT

We know there is nothing more comforting than a huge comfy jumper to cosy into for the colder months. We get so many of those at COW so we decided to play about with some of them and give you more options How To Wear your knitwear this season. 

Here are our Reworked Cropped Knits to give your winter wear an instant update. All stores have plenty of options, patterns and colours for you to choose from.




We recommend mixing them with longer shirts underneath over trousers or shorts. Or go girly with a pleated skirt and layer with scarves, knee high socks and gloves!






We will be adding these to our website WWW.WEARECOW.COM very soon so keep it here!

WE LOVE: FOXES

Foxes aka Louisa Rose Allen is a total fox! As well as that she has us dancing around our shops, studio and homes with her new singles accompanied by some wonderfully styled music videos!



Her catchy new singles Youth and Echo show her range and how a strong voice with a great tune can make for one hell of a good catchy pop song! We're not usually big pop fans at COW but Foxes might have changed us. 





We also have a huge style crush! She can pretty much wear any style and it looks great. We're guessing she doesn't normally run round a sequinned body suit like she does so well in the Youth video, but even your regular vintage tee, leather jacket and high-waisted shorts look like something special on her never mind those uber-cute Mickey Mouse Ears!




We highly recommend if you haven't already heard of Foxes you get straight to her YouTube Channel and listen to every single song and dance around while you do so.

If you want to hear more from Foxes make sure to check out the links below and her Instagram which shows just how cute she is in real life! She's not playing over here just yet but we will have to put a bit of sparkle on to go and see her soon.

MEET THE TEAM: HELEN McGUCKIN

This week we speak to Helen McGuckin who works as Web Co-Ordinator/ Promotion/ Blogger and Stylist for COW. We ask her about her role, her style and what she couldn't live without.



HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED AT COW?

Almost a year now. I started last December, part time, running all social medias but now it has grown into a full time role with the new website launching soon.

WHAT DOES YOUR ROLE ENTAIL?

My role is to promote COW Vintage and all the online presence as We Are Cow. To do this I make sure our Facebook page, TwitterTumblr, Blog and Instagram is consistent and updated regularly with things that everyone at Cow enjoys and are interested in. That could be music videos, trends, news on deliveries, uploads fave items, and so on.. I plan and organise events in stores, the last Student Lock In was great and I want to have more regular events in all stores. 

With the BRAND NEW WEBSITE LAUNCH creeping up on us I travel to Manchester to work with Richard (Web Manager) to style product shots, feature pages, new trends, behind the scenes videos and pretty much any other imagery you see online or in the newsletters (which I also write). To make this successful I am always looking for new models from all areas to work with us, keeping up with the latest trends, following Fashion Shows and reading magazines to make sure I don't miss a thing that we can incorporate into our work.

                   


We have recently started working with Fashion Bloggers we love and choose bloggers with a great range of style to showcase the range of stock we have sent to us from all over the world. This is proving successful and I love to see how everyone wears the items we send out!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR OWN STYLE?

Lazy, practical, simple or silly depending on my mood.. Most of the time I just throw on jeans, a t-shirt and a jumper but I like to clash prints head to toe and layer too when I can be bothered. I work in the basement at Sheffield and Manchester so I can get away with being pretty casual nowadays if I want!   



WHY IS VINTAGE CLOTHING IMPORTANT IN STYLE NOWADAYS?

Vintage clothing is a way to be on trend without wearing the same items as everyone else. It's all one off and you can create your own style and be playful without having to spend a lot of money. I think that's why it has become so popular. 

WHAT A/W13 TRENDS ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

I am really excited about the Dark Florals and the Punk trends. I will be mixing them together.. I do like all the wintery pastels that are around too though. I like everything all the time, it's a huge problem of mine. 



WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT WORKING FOR COW?

I love the clothes obviously, which is a problem for my bank. I also love that everyone who works for Cow is so creative and busy outside of work doing their own thing which overall makes the shops a more lively place.

WHAT 3 ITEMS COULDN'T YOU LIVE WITHOUT?

Levis, lipstick and tea.

A New Website! A New Way To Shop WE ARE COW!

Here at COW we have all been working hard on a brand new website for you and getting up to date with all of the things we know our customers like to see. We have researched how customers would rather shop online, what you want to see and how you want to see it. We then squeezed all of this into one brand new layout and design to make shopping at WWW.WEARECOW.COM a much more pleasurable experience.

We don't really want to give too much away but let's just say it's going to be the new way to shop Vintage. With so many trend led pieces in Cow we want to take Vintage and Reworked Clothing to the next level, helping our customers see the endless potential in buying one off pieces and creating your own style while keeping up with the latest trends.

Look out for seasonal trends, lookbooks, features, behind the scenes, meet the teams, and much more as well as all of the best one off Men's and Women's Vintage pieces you could ask for! We are so excited about the launch and don't want to give it all up in one blog but there's alot to look forward to, a lot of keeping up to date and constantly uploading and refreshing the whole thing to make sure we keep your eyes fully locked on us! 

Here are a couple of sneaky peeks of the layouts to expect on our new website but we can't show it all!

MEET THE TEAM! Terri- Jayne Baker

Say Hi to one of our cutest and most hard working members from Cow Sheffield! Terri-Jayne is a trend setter and the heart and soul of the Sheffield store.
We asked Terri-Jayne to go through her job role, why she (obvs) loves it and find out what are her A/W13 must haves..



HI TERRI-JAYNE!
HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED FOR COW AND WHAT IS YOUR ROLE?

My role is Store Manager in Sheffield and I have been there for 2 and 1/2 years! Which has gone crazy fast!

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT BEING A STORE MANAGER?

I love working with such a creative team, every day is different, big deliveries are always exciting, the visual side of my job is what I enjoy the most. Creating trend areas and outfit builds to inspire customers when they come shopping in store!

HOW WOULD DESCRIBE YOUR OWN STYLE?

My style changes everyday and transcends through seasons but right now I like mixing boyish styles with wild vintage prints, usually basic tees with anything high waisted and crazy one-off knitwear pieces! I'll never stop wearing cute floral dress and I'm a lover of a great detailed collar on anything. Sequins and velvet are also a must!


WHY IS VINTAGE CLOTHING IMPORTANT IN STYLE NOWADAYS AND WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S BECOME SO POPULAR?

Vintage and secondhand clothing have always been a great way to create personal style and express an individual personality. Thrift shopping is a great way for everyone shopping on a budget, you can always find real cheap gems. I love it when someone asks me where I  got a certain piece from and I say "I found it in a charity shop for 99p!"


WHAT A/W '13 TRENDS ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

Autumn is my all time favourite season for fashion! I'm not a huge trend follower , so I wear what I like and I usually look at street styles for inspiration. I like to see how individuals take on new trends! I'm a massive hoarder of clothes and accessories and I think you can never go wrong wearing any kind of vintage. It never goes out of style! I do seem to have stocked up on a lot of tartan over the years so those have been worn more these past few weeks. 

WHAT 3 ITEMS DO YOU THINK WE ALL NEED FOR THE COLDER MONTHS APPROACHING?

Novelty fun knitwear, gingerbread lattes and mittens on a string!
