FLASHBACK: The Movie Gang
A Flashback to the movie gangs that we wished we were a part of! From co-ordinated clothing, issues of the heart and group trials and tribulations the movie gang always comes out on top in the end.
We couldn't leave out the quintessential 90's movie, where Cher, Dionne and Tai are the best dressed girls in school and have wardrobes to die for! From tartan, leopard print, and mohair to the skater, preppy and casual styles of Travis, Christian and Josh, the film is all about fashion and friendship, ending in true love for all the girls, awww!
Empire Records (1995)
Liv Tyler heads a group of workers that start out bickering but join together to save their beloved record store. Each character has their own distinct looks, from shaved heads, grungey guys and Liv's famous fluffy jumper and kilt combo. A Saturday job at Empire Records would have been the enviable position in the nineties.
Clueless (1995)
We couldn't leave out the quintessential 90's movie, where Cher, Dionne and Tai are the best dressed girls in school and have wardrobes to die for! From tartan, leopard print, and mohair to the skater, preppy and casual styles of Travis, Christian and Josh, the film is all about fashion and friendship, ending in true love for all the girls, awww!
Lords of Dogtown (2005)
70's skater style is in abundance in this movie based on the story of The Z Boys revolutionising the sport of skateboarding. Plus Heath Ledger is a member of the gang so that kinda says it all really!
The Mighty Ducks (1992)
Ok so they may be kids, but they had such a good time becoming The Mighty Ducks! Plus looking back they were pretty darn well dressed, in their plaid shirts, snapbacks and geometric print bombers. Ice Hockey never looked so good!
Grease (1978)
Pink Ladies and T-Birds were what is was all about at Rydell High. Pink bombers and leather jackets were the style staples and riding about in pimped up cars was obviously the thing to do! Who wouldn't want to be part of these gangs and ruuuuuule the schoooooool...

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!

COW WELCOMES: Big Deal
Yesterday Big Deal swung by our Manchester store to have a rummage for some vintage gems before they set off to Liverpool for their gig at the Shipping Forecast and also had a spare minute to squeeze in a photo shoot with our photographer Richard.
Last night they played Manchester's Night and Day Cafe, with support from Sisters, and today they came up trumps with some real stand out pieces from our shop floor.
Have a listen to their new single whilst you check out the photos below.

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.
