Meet the Designer: Duvet Days

We are excited to announce that our next independent designer is the fabulous Emma White who runs the sassy yet sustainable brand, Duvet Days. We discovered Duvet Days on our fave app, Instagram (@duvetdaysclothing) and instantly started crushing on the fun, colourful and nostalgic prints of their twosies. Sassy World will be stocking a small selection of one off two pieces made from Duvet Days' sassiest vintage duvets from this Sunday (7.12.14) so be quick to snap them up! Also keep an eye out for the lookbook we shot over the next couple of days :) 
Read my interview with Emma below to find out more about her sassy self and the amazing brand.




1. Tell us a little bit about yourself: 
I live in a converted peanut factory with my cat Bruce Willis. I'm waiting for the world to be ready for Duvet Days but in the meantime I also work part time as a nanny (I'm pretty much a big kid anyway). I'm a big fan of charity shops and new designers, I'd hate to wear the same as someone else (unless it was a matching duvet days outfit)

2. Describe your personal style in three words
Kids Tv Presenter

3. If you could spend a day doing whatever the hell you want, what would you do?
On a beach with a cocktail playing dreamphone with my honeyz

4. Who is your style icon?
Kelly Kapowski- what a babe

5. Tell us a bit about your brand, Duvet Days
Duvet Days is about having fun with your look, keeping it comfortable and feeling good in the knowledge that you are buying into sustainable fashion. The pieces are made to measure from hand picked bed sheets and available for kids of all ages.

6. What are your plans for the future?
To get to that beach...making sassy clothing on the way

COLLECTION LAUNCH DATE: 7.12.14

Meet the Designer: Caighli Taylor

We are extremely excited to announce that Sassy World is going to start stocking amazing independent designers and our very first designer is the incredibly inspiring, colourful sass queen Caighli Taylor. I first stumbled across Caighli on Instagram when she tagged Sassy World in a photo of her wearing some vintage she had bought from us. It was quite literally love at first sight as I was infatuated with Caighli's wonderfully bold style. 

It was after a while of following Caighli on Instagram (@cai.tay) when I noticed she was making pieces for herself that were out of this world. I enquired about whether she was going to ever sell anything and that she totally should! Caighli's designs were like those out of my dreams and I couldn't let her talents go unseen. Me and Caighli had formed a cyber, fashion friend relationship and after going to visit her in Bristol it was confirmed that Caighli was going to make her first ever collection and it was going to be debuted on Sassy World. 

Seeing as this is the first ever collection, Caighli is keeping it small and unique. It is a capsule collection, all items are one offs but if something proves popular with you sasspots then you never know what might happen!
Read my interview with Caighli Taylor below to find out more about this talented young lady.

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself
Originally I'm from up north - Skelmersdale near Liverpool - but I've been living in Bristol for about 3 years working as a criminal barrister. That's something I've always wanted to do and I really enjoy it, but I've always been creative too and obsessed with clothes! A few years ago my grandad bought me a sewing machine, and sewing and designing has been a passion ever since. Some people find the contrast between this and my job surprising but it works for me! 

2. Describe your personal style in three words
Brazen, bold and fun!

3. What can't you live without?
Probably the contents of my wardrobe! They're irreplaceable - probably a decade's worth of scouring and trawling and searching for clothes I love! 

4. If you could spend a day doing whatever the hell you want, what would you do?
It would probably involve lots of things like a bit of sewing and designing, a fair bit of eating, and exploring - I love walking round and finding cool buildings and crazy public spaces, or mooching around galleries.  

5. Who is your style icon?
Probably my Nanna Mojo especially when I see photos of her from the 80s. She's always been bold and brazen, but also sophisticated and really good at putting outfits together - still to this day she looks incredible!!

6. Tell us a bit about your first ever collection being debuted on Sassy World 
Most things I make are vintage inspired and this collection is no different - I've taken inspiration from the most dramatic and fun aspects of fashion in the 70s, 80s and 90s. There is a real contrasting mix of textures - hand-painted prints, sequins, faux fur etc.  I love the ridiculousness of wearing bold lettering and graphics -  something done in the 80s and 90s so much better and bolder than how it's done today.  The pieces are quite sexy, but there's also definitely a sense humour in this collection! 

7. What are your hopes for the future?
Such a big question!! I love what I do at the moment, and I'd just love to be able to continue to design and make clothes, and see lots of people having fun wearing them!


Caighli Taylor's collection will be released on Sassy World at the beginning of November.

#sassyibiza

As you may have seen from our Instagram, I recently took a mini trip to Ibiza with my favourite sassy ladies and whilst I was there I thought I would shoot a mini lookbook featuring a few of our last summer pieces. All on my instant camera! You can check out more holiday snaps by checking out the hashtag #sassyibiza

It's upsetting that Summer is nearly at an end but I hope these images will make you feel as warm and tropical as they do me. Our last summer stock drop will be released tomorrow at 7pm. It will be full of tropical, rainbow, crochet, crazy printed vintage clothes. Be there or be basic <3

Sassy Sundays #14

We are quite sad that this is probably going to be our last summery themed Sassy Sunday post of the year seeing as Autumn is now looming over us :(. We are off to Ibiza in 2 days so of course there had to be another themed blog post! 80s and 90s summer/swimwear editorials were just the best weren't they?! Whilst we are away you can get 20% off all orders (17.8.14-24.8.14) and your orders will be posted on the 25th. Any orders made tonight or tomorrow though will be posted before we go!

You can keep up with all things sassy in Ibiza by checking the hashtag #sassyibiza on Instagram or follow us @sassyworlduk

Sassy Sundays #13

I think you all know by now that I have a very passionate love affair with the supermodel era. It's not just the models, it's the designers and the fun catwalks, the crazy hair and make-up and the supermodel personalities... Anyway...I do actually find inspiration from lots of different decades and today I have decided to make a change and dedicate this blog post to the swinging sixties! Today's Sassy Sunday post is a mini concoction of some sassy, colourful imagery from the fabulous decade. Enjoy <3

Sassy Sundays #12

Sassy Sundays #11

It's no secret that we are a little bit obsessed with ALL Versace imagery across the 80s and 90s. The catwalks, the models, the tacky-yet-sassy clothes, it's all one big bundle of inspiration which is why today's Sassy Sunday blog post is dedicated to all things Versace. Just look at all that colour and bling <3
