A Retro wave in France has definitely arrived and I believe will be here in the United Kingdom for good too!
It seems to have all started on the other side of the Atlantic with the arrival of Obama at the presidency of the United States. It has had an even deeper and greater effect than anticipated as we all seem to feel the positive buzz from him and embracing the future (finally again!)… However why? I believe that it all bring us back to the 50s and 60s in the great time and steps of Martin Luther King finally becoming reality. I think this is a wave of change and hope hitting our nations threw a wave of nostalgia and retro as we can only consolidate the future on a deep great good old healthy foundation that is finally seeing the light after so much time, work and ache.
The French retro wave is perfectly illustrated with the major commemoration of the 50 year anniversary of a popular French 

comic book character, little Nicholas or Le Petit Nicolas. Le Petit Nicolas and his classroom pals have been created by so talented Asterix co-inventor René Goscinny and genius illustrator, Jean-Jacques Sempé.
Little Nicholas is the wicked little schoolboy by excellence! He is a true representation of childhood and innocence surrounded by parents’ unconditional love, the sound of chalk on a board and children playing in the schoolyard… Little Nicholas is I think incredibly French in the upbringing and “old fashioned” life but quintessentially so British in his Humour! It is a must have books for children and grown-ups as this will guarantee you laughter and happiness! Great pick up factor from the doom and glooms times of the credit crunch (for the adults)!
After Vintage, it is now time for Retro to come into our life, fashion and our homes. We couldn’t find a better way to start thinking positively for 2009!

I am one of these women that are truly fed up with the High street names that you can find in each city you go in the UK and that at each corner of a street you can see your clone wearing the same piece of clothes and feel so disappointed to be like everyone! I feel that my dressing sense and style is quite unique therefore I would love to find something a little different of course in the essence of what is fashionable but with my twist.
Well I have found it! There is a wonderful new ladies boutique called Rouge in refined Morgan Arcade Cardiff. This shop is simply amazing if you are looking for stylish yet comfortable and wearable timeless pieces of clothes but at a sensible price.

Frederique the Parisian owner and her daughter Sophie will make you feel straight away very welcome. They are helpful and will give you a genuine advice if you need it however discreet and subtle if you are just browsing. Magic!
Their beautiful selection oozes of effortless style and individuality. They stock amongst many others the Dublin label Avoca renaissance, the Parisians brands Des petits hauts and American Vintage and Danish collection Lysgaard.

If you don’t leave near Cardiff, no worries, go on their website, choose what you like and simply order it on the phone. Frederique or Sophie will love to make you happy!
