Red, rouge, rojo, rosso...however you say it, the colour red is evocative in any language. After seeing the above press photo of the gorgeous Maurie & Eve Peplum Dress, it got me in the mood to do a little red feature. While it is indisputably a striking colour, it can conjure up a bounty of looks and feels depending on the context... it can be flirtatious (in the case of the Peplum), theatrical (in the case of the Karla Spetic), unconventional (in the case of the Acne brogues) or commanding (in the case of Ashley Olsen's ensemble). Whatever the guise, it is certain to provoke a smile during even the dreariest of weather.

Brand Spotlight: Repetto Shoes

If there was ever a sentence that covered the holy trinity for women it would be this: Paris...shopping...shoes. And when this trifecta occurs, boy is it exquisite! There is no greater testament to this than the allure of the three Repetto stores dotted throughout Paris - 22 Rue Paix, 51 Rue du Four and 24 Rue de Châteaudun.  
The house of Repetto was originally (and still is, to a great extent) a ballet shoe company. It was founded in 1947 by Rose Repetto at the request of her son Roland Petit, who was both a dancer and a choreographer. Since then, Repetto has become renowned internationally for its premium craftsmanship and sophisticated products.  
Ballet remains the soul of the house, however their 'street' shoes (ballet flats, heels, boots, brogues etc) are taking the fashion world by storm, due to not only their unique colours and elegant yet sexy styles, but also for their unmatched level of comfort and flexibility. They really do tick all the (shoe) boxes! 

See below for styles currently in Mclean and snaps of the amazing French stores.

Blue Valentine

I watched a beautiful and heart-breakingly melancholic film on Sunday (the day the heavens opened up to remind us Winter has well & truly arrived and that ciders on the deck at Wharf bar are sadly on hiatus). 
Said film is titled Blue Valentine and has two of the most influential actors of our age at its helm - Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. As discussed in a review on The Vine, the film is shot in Brooklyn on shaky hand-held camera and is essentially a story about love - both its exquisite beginning and its excruciatingly painful demise. (The music score is also dominated by Grizzly Bear  who are in one word, amazing). 
With this wet weather showing no sign of abating, it seems like the perfect antidote might just well be...a night-in, tucked up in one of the many beautiful knits we currently have in store....accompanied by Ryan, Michelle and a bottle of Pinot Noir xx

VIP Style Night!

Rialto Square was all abuzz on Thursday night as local ladies braved the Winter air to join us at Mclean & Page for an evening of champagne and fashion sampling. It was an opportunity for our cherished customers to play around with new season pieces as well as older ones, with the luxury of up to 50% off the latter and 20% off everything else in-store. 

It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces and to meet those of you that we hadn't yet had the pleasure to. We were also treated to the make-up styling of our very own and incredibly talented Pernilla, who worked her magic on each of us with hues of lime, lemon and dusty pink. Our guests picked up some fabulous purchases and left the store ready to rock their outfits to their next party/picnic/corporate dinner/hens night...you name it!

Thank you again to everyone that attended, we look forward to seeing you soon xx
