Easter holidays are about to begin for many of us. They are a preview for the long-awaited summer hols, a few days of escape in which we can rest and recharge our batteries while we hold out for our big summer getaway. We know that many of you choose to be by the sea, regardless of the weather. But even if you’ve decided already, let us suggest a couple of alternatives:

This is one of the boldest campaigns women’secret has embarked on to date. Not just because of the message, but also because of the way we’re getting the message across.
The fight against gender violence continues to cause a major headache for many governments. But little can be achieved if the victims of this kind of violence continue to suffer in silence as if they were ashamed to speak up and tell their story. This unmentionable secret that so many women are unwilling to own up to is the slogan for the campaign launched by women’secret and Amnesty International this spring 2010 in Portugal: “Gender violence shouldn’t be a secret”.
Together with illustrator André Letria, we’ve featured this slogan on a mini collection made up of 3 T-shirts and 2 pairs of shorts with bold messages designed to help us say no to gender violence. w’s has promised to donate €25,000 to this worthy cause.

It’s not so long ago that wallpapered rooms were seen as naff, old-fashioned and most definitely off trend. Today, wallpaper is synonymous with modern, trendy and up-to-date. There’s no store, bar or apartment that dares to call itself trendy that doesn’t feature wallpaper as part of its decor. As those trend setters would say, it’s an absolute MUST. And as you’ll have noticed, we’ve hunted down the coolest and the most cheerful patterns and featured them in our new spring catalogue. And we don’t mind admitting it, we’re delighted with the results!
The choice of wallpaper patterns will determine the style you wish to reflect in the room, but the rapidly growing selection on offer means that there’s something to suit every taste. There are loads of online stores selling wallpaper, which is great because you can shop around and get a good idea of what you’re looking for. You can even ask for samples to see how it would look in your home before buying.

A breakaway from the traditional women’secret style. One of those special treats that accessory designers come up with from time to time. A really romantic jewellery box lined with a floral fabric that reminds us of those our grandmothers used to have.
And of course, we think it’s absolutely gorgeous! We love the idea that flowers are back in fashion – they’re so spring-like!
And we’ve spotted another fabulous item in the same collection; another curiosity for those that love the kind of things that not everyone appreciates: A pack of stockings that brush the thighs with these season’s hot polka dot motifs.
And the cutest thing of all is that they come with a garter belt complete with a pocket for hiding the odd secret that is bound to surprise your partner.
