Ashley Brooke – For ladies who love embracing their softer side

Here at #fbo, we stock a wide range of popular international brands at massively discounted prices. One of the top brands at the moment happens to be the Ashley Brooke brand, which features a beautiful variety of clothing for women.

The Ashley Brooke brand was founded by, you guessed it, Ashley Brooke, in the United States! The brand was born out of a desire to create a feminine, bold, colourful and playful brand for ladies who love embracing their softer side but who, at the same time, enjoy living life to the fullest and loving every moment!

Although the brand is, by nature, very girly and has clothing in pretty colours (such as candy pinks, soft yellows and vibrant reds), it actually suits any woman (even a tomboy) who wants to introduce a bit of whimsical femininity into her wardrobe.

The Summer Ashley Brooke range consists of the most gorgeous ensembles to keep you cool, calm, and collected, even when the temperatures are sky-high. We love Ashley Brooke’s swing dresses, summer scarves, sandals, and blouses. These are the perfect garments to wear for a day out, over the weekend and to work.

When the temperatures drop slightly or you are out for an evening, why not throw on a lightweight Ashley Brooke cardigan in a pretty hue that will not only keep the breeze away from your shoulders but will also look great and compliment any outfit!

Ashley Brooke’s Winter range is just as good as the Summer one and you will absolutely love the soft, pretty shades of beautiful colors that will brighten up any cold, grey, and dreary Winter’s day!

We love Ashley Brooke’s winter trousers that flatter any shape, the stunning jackets, and the gorgeous wool jerseys will have you being the envy of all your friends! This Winter range is a lovely and refreshing change from the usual ranges of winter clothing which normally tend to consist mostly of blacks, browns, greys and navy blues.

Another wonderful aspect of the Ashley Brooke range we sell here at #fbo is the fact that the individual items can easily be mixed and matched with other garments in your wardrobe. This means that if you like a certain item, you should definitely go ahead and buy it as you won’t have to worry about it not matching other clothing.

This range is classic and looks incredible on young women, mature ladies, and everyone in between!

So, if you are looking for a new and flattering brand, why not browse our range of Ashley Brooke clothing on our website or in our #outlets? Let us know which items are your favourites and why. We would love to hear from you and welcome any comments or questions!

Well, the good news is that, yes, we can confirm that boots are definitely still trending this year and are as popular as ever! Not only are boots a great way to keep your feet and lower legs warm during winter, but they also look incredibly stylish and add a touch of sophistication to a smart or casual look.

 

So, what kinds of boots can we expect to be in fashion this year? If you visit our #outlets you will see that #fbo sometimes has a very wide range of boots available, which means that boots of all kinds will be trending.

Combat boots are probably the hottest boot type for this coming season. These practical boots are reminiscent of the mid 90’s when grunge was very popular. You can wear your combat boots in many different ways. #fbo’s favorite way to wear combat boots is to pair them with some trousers in a neutral color and even to add a special kind of edge to a feminine and pretty floral dress.

 

If you enjoy wearing knee-high boots, you should definitely consider a pair of leather, knee-high equestrian boots as these are also trending at the moment. Whether you prefer a flat or a high heel for your boots, you can afford to get creative with your equestrian boots as various types have been spotted on the catwalks lately. These boots will pull together any winter outfit and can make you look effortlessly chic and casual when you wear them with a pair of skinny jeans or a short skirt.

Why does the Engbers brand resonate with those who wear it?

Today, men enjoy brands that sell unique, tailored, colorful, and stylish garments. A brand that resonates with men and shares values close to his own, will be favored over a brand that is not in-tune with its audience.

As a German brand, Engbers is now sold in countries throughout the world, including here in South Africa. They offer a wonderful range of casual, smart-casual, and weekend wear that appeals to South Africa’s sophisticated gentlemen who would like more from their clothing than simply wearing it!
