Nina & Lola Accessories

Men and clothes aren’t that different in your book.

You’re great at picking them up, but once they’re all yours, you wonder why you needed them in the first place.

And though you’re still occasionally at a loss with the gents (it’s just a ball), you’ve learned to be more strategic about your outfits. Enter Nina & Lola.

Named after owner Nina May (London-based, German-born ex-fashion journalist) and her fibreglass mannequin, this online boutique features new and vintage clothing. Killer outfits are arranged in categories like A Night Out, Bumping into your Ex and Meeting the In-Laws, to name a few. From a wedding-worthy ’50s cocktail dress to a work-appropriate pencil skirt, there’s something for everything.

First-hand booty includes shoes by Danish Camilla Skovgaard, handbags by German label Kaviar Gauche, dresses from Spijkers en Spijkers and Noir, plus jewellery by Anna e Alex.

With this lot, you’re sure to draw your fair share of fellows.

Which is too bad for what’s-his-name on the couch.
