To The Screening Of : Before Midnight


Jesse & Celine; our favourite on-screen couple of all time!

Just 2 more days till Before Midnight officially hits our cinemas, and we're dying to know how things are going to unfold. Does Jesse ever stop being being an indulgent man-child? Who blows their top first? It's been awhile - will the years start to show? Will they - now as a married couple - still enjoy those honest, flirtatious banters that made us fall in love with their story in the first place?

Even better, we hear the story is set against the idyllic backdrop of Greece. We're imagining Julie Delpy in an off-white linen shirt-dress, and Ethan Hawke in his signature scruffy shirt and casual pants ensemble, and hell - if we're going to be this excited for a movie screening, we definitely should be dressing up for it.

Here's what we'd wear to the screening of Before Midnight...




For Her : Toms Classic in Aqua Umbrella / The Vamoose Brass Triangle Earring (Orchard 22) / Twist & Tango Jada Top (Cineleisure) / Loreak Mendian Tangerina Pants (Orchard 22) / Sandqvist Bob Backpack (Orchard 22) / Gina Stewart Cox Solo Nugget Bracelet (Orchard 22)



For Him : Toms Classic in Burlap Basket Weave / Sifr Long Sleeve Leisure Shirt (Cineleisure) / Knowledge Cotton Twisted Twill Shorts / Baggu Wedge Pouch (Cineleisure) / Military Watch Co G10 Automatic (Cineleisure) / Sandqvist Izzy Satchel

Out & About : Play Tourist for a Day


Pick a day - Go offline with your other for a full 12 hours (we dare you to). And we mean offline; no facebook / instagram / twitter. You have to be serious about this mini expedition, so be your own conscience!

Play tourist for a day with a film camera. Snap away – skies on windows, old alleys, a crack in a beautiful tiled wall.




 FOR HER - Dress strategically. Al&Alicia Poppy Print Blouse (latte) & a Loreak Mendien Pirata Pants (twill blue) keeps things breezy. Ensure drinks & dips stay cool in a SoYoung Cooler Bag, and be kind to your feet with all that walking with TOMS' Classic slip-on (faded tropical). 





 FOR HIM - Keep things interesting with a Sifr Henley Ice Wash Shirt (olive) and Jack Spade Shorts (navy), complete with a multi-tone Timberland Heritage Boat Shoe (earth tri-tone). Don't forget that analogue cam - La Sardina Lomography (moonassi edition).


All products can be found at our Orchard 22 boutique.

New Arrivals : Loreak Mendian


Joyi T-shirt & Gona Skirt


LABEL DEBUT : Founded in 1995 with with more enthusiasm than experience, two Spanish lads embarked on the adventure of creating a clothing brand - and Loreak Mendian was born.

And what an adventure it was. Creating pieces that draw inspiration not from glaring runways, but from the experiences, sights, and sounds of real life, their understanding of a women's form is evident in their bright billowly pants in canary yellows and florals, forgiving A-line dresses in nautical patterns, and tie-back dresses in pretty Bahamas prints.

Each piece is proudly manufactured within the EU.

Loreak Mendian is now available exclusively at Orchard 22.
