Our blog posts are normally aimed at the female of the species but today’s instalment is very much for our male fans, and particularly those who need a bit of gift inspiration for February 14^th!  So, for all you romantics out there (and we know you’re there!), we’ve come up with some top ideas to delight your loved one.  Read on….

LUSH COSMETICS

Here at Anya Sushko, there is nothing we love more than a long hot bath with a luxurious bath bomb from Lush Cosmetics.  Our favourite is the Fizzbanger Bath Bomb!  The release of citrus and cinnamon scents mingled with a hint of ylang ylang is simply intoxicating, and we’re sure your Valentine will adore it.  Or if you want something even more sensuous, go for the Lover Lamp….

BLENHEIM PALACE

Why not woo your loved one with a trip to Blenheim Palace, one of the UK’s most romantic country houses, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Based in the charming Oxfordshire village of Woodstock, it is the birthplace of Winston Churchill and now the principal residence of the dukes of Marlborough.  The vista of the huge, sweeping gardens and lake is truly stunning.  We love it here!

TATTY DEVINE

No girl would be disappointed with a cool and stylish piece from one of our jewellery favourites, Tatty Devine.  Always ultra distinctive and modern, the designs will give any lady that fresh and sassy look.  We love the new Bougainvillea Necklace, a bright number for that formal evening or to add a dash of colour and class to a dress-down look.  Or maybe you like the look of the Glitter Heart Necklace – it certainly won’t fail to set your lady’s heart aflutter!

Banya

For a spa day with a difference, why not try a visit to traditional Russian sauna, Banya No 1?  Indulge your Valentine with a Honey & Salt Scrub, a wonderful way to moisturise and cleanse the skin without stripping away any natural oils.  The smell of honey melting under the heat of a Parnaya (steam room) will transport you and your loved one to a different world.  Combine this with a Parenie, a traditional thermal treatment involving a light brushing with a leafy and fragrant bundle of birch, oak or eucalyptus twigs (venik).  This invigorating treatment boosts blood circulation as well as relieving tension and stress.  A spa day to remember!

OUR REDS & PINKS

Last but certainly not least, we couldn’t leave without suggesting one of our very own beautiful products!  What better time than Valentine’s Day to show your loved one how much you care with a Berry Mini-Wristlet or Berry Mini-Purse?  Our Mini Hiss Clutch would also be a perfect gift for that special girl.  Or, if the mood takes you, go all out with our Luxury Modern Extravaganza Handbag.

We are offering a 20% discount to the first 20 people who make an order.

Dear Readers, here at Anya Sushko we are always on the look-out for trend-setters and style queens, so over the coming year we are going to be telling you about who we think are keeping ahead of the pack and setting the fashion trends.  Our first post in the series is The Bloggers.  Our next post in the series (“Taste-Makers: The Young Starlets”) will appear on 5th of February.

We all know that the blogosphere is where the world goes to for Fashion and Styling tips, and we at Anya Sushko are no different.  So who do we think are the bloggers who are going to be the big influencers in 2016?  Take a look at our list below…

STEREOTYPEMESS

Born and raised in Mexico City, Michelle Banquells, the creator of Stereotypemess, is a “true believer that true art comes from the real world, from the people on the streets or from a magical sunset in the middle of a deserted beach”.  We couldn’t agree more.  She’s worked with the great Carolina Herrera, and also as a contributor to Hola! Magazine, writing reviews for Milan, Paris and New York Fashion Weeks, so she certainly knows all the up and coming trends.  We think she’s great – check her out!

FASHIONOPOLIS

The brain-child of Amena, a fashion designer and stylist by profession, Fashionopolis is the destination to go to for the last word on high Fashion, street styles and trends, and for the latest D-I-Y styling tips, industry news and goings-on in the Fashion circuit.  Amena is also a general fan of Literature and Arts, so there is always a dash of Culture on this blog.  We love it!

Amena – ‘Breaking Plus Size Fashion Rules’

NAOMI ISTED

British fashion and beauty blogger, Naomi Isted, always helps us keep a step ahead of the game!  After a training in Fashion Journalism, she moved into being a beauty blogger for HELLO Magazine, fashion columnist and TV presenter.  Make sure to check out her blog if you want to stand out in the Fashion-hub that is London.

40+STYLE

40+Style’s mission is to show you that you can look gorgeous and experiment with styles and Fashion at any age, a sentiment that we at Anya Sushko truly believe in.  Offering style advice and beauty information for women over 40, it shows you how to embrace your body and create your very own look.  Sylvia van de Logt, the founder and editor-in-chief of 40+Style, and keen photographer, is originally from The Netherlands but now lives in shopping paradise, Singapore.

‘Is there a big difference between dressing in your 40s,50s…’

GVOZDISHE

Lidia Frolova, creator of Gvozdishe, describes herself as an “explorer of life, a dreamer, a photographer, a stylist, a personal shopper”.  We love her take on the world and how to stand out from the crowd!  Head to this cool and sassy blog for all you want to know about the latest styles and Fashion.  It’s a must.
