TOMS
TOMS an inspirational company, their shoes are quite nice aswell.
I first came across TOMS from there unique colourful shoes designs, they were appearing in my Facebook and being worn by friends taking pictures of their brave choice of colourful vibrant and unique shoes patterns.
I then started to browse their website and found out more about the company. Their movement as they say is something called "ONE FOR ONE" for every pair of shoes sold, they donate a pair of shoes to the less fortunate. To date they have donated over 2 million shoes. This type of charitable giving gave me such a feel good factor for the company. An inspiration to say the least and has encourage me to be charitable as well. The company has since expanded to sunglasses aiding people regain their sight.
We at Caprilite support TOMS and their movement. Hopefully, one day we can do something significant for those in need as well.

Sequin Ties - Sequins what an invention
If your wondering where to buy a sequin tie, look no further. Caprilite UK is glad to present our sequin skinny tie range suitable for men and women, available in a range of colours.Sequins - a great invention for fashion. Light reflecting, blinging, glitzy showbiz look. Most popular colours black sequin ties and silver sequin ties, I guess they go with everything. Bold colours in red purple gold and blue if you want to stand out. These sequin ties are popular all over the world, we've even had someone buy them from our shop as a gift to John and Edward (Jedward), I haven't managed to find a pic of it but if you see them wearing a sequin tie it is probably from us.

Millinery Courses in London
A milliner is a hat or fascinator maker, millinery is the trade or profession of a milliner. Millinery is an art form in itself dating back to ancient times. These days millinery is a classy skill, usually creating unique one-off items that are sold at high prices. They deserve to be bought at a high price because the product of a milliner is like a piece of art.
There are various millinery courses around, as I'm based in London I've done a bit of research on what millinery courses are available. It's a skill that may or may not lead you into a long lasting job/career (depending on your skill, contacts and business sense), but it is popular enough for artistic fashion minds to have a dabble,most people just enjoymaking their own fascinator hat when attending a wedding or the Royal Ascot.
Here's my list which will be updated as I find more:
1) Rose Cory Millinery Course
This lady used to be the milliner for the late Queen Mother, if that doesn't convince you of her skills then I don't know what will. She seems to do courses all year round and comes top in a google search so her course must be popular. Rose Cory does 5 day millinery courses, price only available on request if you contact by phone or e-mail, course times are from 3:00 to 10:00 held in South East London at:
Shrewsbury House
Bushmoor Crescent
London SE18 3EG
Bushmoor Crescent
London SE18 3EG
2) Kensington and Chelsea College
They do various courses and you'll end up with a qualification at the end of it from BTEC to a Higher Diploma. This college also has great links with the fashion and retail industry with some top students exhibiting there fascinators for sale at Fenwick. Location of the course idea if you are in South West London, but should be easily commutable.
3) London College of Fashion
The London college of fashion is called that for nothing, they cater for all sorts of fashion courses and no doubt has our favourite subject of fascinators and millinery.
Please let me know if anyone knows of more reputable courses available as I want to make a list that everyone can reference.
