Sale shopping tips

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 05:41:00 GMT

Are you guilty of just buying something because it’s on sale?

We all get excited and a little carried away by sale time which is why you need the following tips.

Top 5 Sale time questions to ask yourself

1. Would you buy it if it wasn’t on sale?

2. Does it go with at least 5 other items in your wardrobe?

3. Does it fill a gap in your wardrobe or is it a duplicate of something else?

4. Do you actually like it, or do you just like the price?

5. Is the garment in good condition? If you need to spend extra to get it fixed than it’s not a good purchase.

Top 3 things to buy

1. Leather boots; these are always expensive but don’t get carried away by seasonal trends as you still want to wear them for a few years.

2. Stockings; you can never have too many pairs and they will still be great next winter

3. Jackets. Again a big ticket item and purchase a jacket that is 100% wool as it will last you a few seasons

Please, look after your shoes!!!

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 22:49:00 GMT

Please, you pay good money for your shoes so why not look after them!
We see so many ladies that say 'all my shoes are ruined' or 'I am throwing them out the heel is broken'.......please, please just get them fixed! It is such a quick repair that save you money in the long run.

Most shoe repair places are capable of;

Re-heeling
Re-soling
Reparing broken heels
Stretching the calf of boots
Stretching the length of shoes
Taking in boots through the leg
Polishing shoes! (Please, people notice scruffy shoes!)

In Sydney city we love Angelos on the ground floor of the MLC centre or Coombs Shoe Repairs in the Strand Arcade.

The jacket needs to finish near your hip bone and team it with tailored pants for work, jeans for a chic look or wear over a dress for a stylish cover up.

RAFW Day 5

Wed, 12 May 2010 23:47:00 GMT

Well it's all over for another year and Friday was certainly a day of tired people, emotions were running high (i.e. organisers were slightly aggressive) and the shows were running super late! 1.5 hours late for the New Generation show and I was happy to wore flats!

The New Generation show was so late and I was beginning to wonder if it was worth it, it was though and there was a 5 year old who kept us entertained with her super load voice, 'why are they wearing funny clothes mummy' 'what's happening' I don't like it'....maybe a new Anna Wintour?

Flower for a Vagabond sponsored by Wool Mark and mainly wool clothes, draping fabrics, very wearable and well done!

Khrysalis started off with really pretty romantic clothes and then all of this bondage inspired dresses appeared, clearly either a design duo or someone with split personality....it's a design duo.

By Johnny target market is young girls, super short and tight with song lyrics during the show 'come and get it boys' which seemed very appropriate. Cute & young.

Annah Stretton split her show into 3, pretty dresses for woman, young fashion and lingerie & sleepwear. The first part was my favorite and the best for our clients. There were very cute dresses, the pear shapes would LOVE the dresses and the shoes...I die!

KSUBI was the most anticipated show this week and you can watch the show HERE and please do because its very cool. I love the start, you really feel the boys pain and what they have been through over the last 6 months and I am so happy for them that they are still here! The clothes were great, very Ksubi and there devoted followers will love it!

RAFW Day 4

Wed, 12 May 2010 23:55:00 GMT

Today is another busy day for the fashionistas and the cold snap has made everyone re-think there wardrobes! The heat has been turned up though so you swelter inside and freeze outside.

We have seen a few great brands and Tafe NSW was a knock-out! Well done! To be honest, some were very unwearable and the shoes in Elliot Ward-Fear were just cruel for models...there were quite a few slips & I felt so anxious for them!

Ok, so here are a few for you.

Kirrily Johnson went for tribal styling, geometric shaped prints, fringing knit dresses, poo catcher pants for men, bold stripes in black and white, more high waisted pleated pants, dresses with longer back than front, mens was pretty...well fashion forward!
Wearable...on a scale of 1-10, probably a 4.

Ae'lkemi was fabulous!! I was gushing for ages over this and sooo wearable, lovely colours, feminine....oh, loved the white dresses, tribal prints in blue and green, stunning teal dresses with feather spays, finally something my lovelies can wear! Gorgeous bridal wear, there was one dress with the SS10 cut outs that had a lace insert. Very clever. Who would it suit? Hourglasses, rectangles and pears. Some of the silk is very figure hugging so shapewear may be required.

Here are some pictures for you.

Tafe NSW had a huge crowd of friends and family and showcased 4 designers, FUSS was first very pretty trapeze dresses, lace inserts, maxi dresses with a jungle theme and smocking..smocking is great!

Then we saw Christopher Doboz with Laser cut out circles, longer back than front dresses..

The designs by Elliot Ward-Fear were quite unwearable but extremely artistic! The shoes were definitely a distraction with 1 model completely falling over in them and another few slipping, I was so anxious for them!

Dhini's collection was more tribal prints, really wearable white dresses with wrapped silk that were very well done and cute tights.

Kooey swimwear was really stunning and wearable. It was very off putting though as there was a group of 20 men in suits and then a (unnamed) league football team! It just felt sleazy before hand and then....the mid 50's businessman next to me was ONLY taking photos of the models bums and was proud to tell me.
Anyway, the designs are super cute and a repeat of last years.

Day 2 RAFW

Wed, 12 May 2010 23:23:00 GMT

Zimmerman were one of the favourites from yesterday and there stunning blues and mix of geometric and floral prints were a hit with the fashionistas!
I have also been seeing this all week, the cut out tops or a small section that is cut out of the back or side of tops and jackets. Nicola Finetti had a lot of this last night too.
Zimmerman also had high waisted wide legged pants which could be a disaster on you pear shapes

I love Fashion week...but a lot of the time I think apart from a few rectangle body shapes, who can actually wear that!
I look at the shows and think, ooh fabulous on my hourglasses or not a good sign if the model doesn't look good..
I did actually love a lot of Little Joe by Gail Elliott....it's actually really wearable for most of you!
What do you think?

Nicola Finetti created some beautiful feminine clothes as last nights show.
the main colours were gold, white, beige, black and silver....we saw ruffled silk, more cut out sections, one shoulder designs and the dresses were short but also a few knee length which made me very happy!
Was it wearable?. yes some of it was....the see through leggings with the balloon top was a worry though....

RAFW Day 3

Wed, 12 May 2010 23:52:00 GMT

Today between both of the batteries on my camera going flat, fighting for signal with everyone else and then having to borrow a (lovely) taxi drivers phone charger I did manage to get some great pictures and tweet....

Enjoyx

Kate Sylvester was full of grey, white, brown high waisted pants with waist pleats, jumpsuits, lace..& bows! ...twin sets! Very muted tones..nearly everything for hourglass and rectangle figures

Then onto Alice McCall with zipper fronted dresses, cut outs ,lots of yellow, beige, high waisted shorts, longer back than front trapeze dresses, high waisted shorts, beige, some yellow, cornflower blue..

Wearable? Well some of it is.

Manning Cartel lots of white, laser cutouts, grey, maxi skirts, cute leather bolero,white tails silk jacket...

and Bianca Spender with soft ruffles..lots of trousers! More lace and uneven hems on dresses and the jumpsuits are getting a workout! (not the best photos, sorry)

Are you seeing a theme yet to the style??

RAFW Day 1

Wed, 12 May 2010 23:25:00 GMT

Well it’s been a busy day so far! Lots of shows to see and here are some highlights.

Ginger and Smart saw a lot of white, taupe, laser cut outs, jumpsuits and asymmetrical shoulders....

Lisa Ho was very soft, feminine and draping that we have come to love of her designs...it's great to see such colours too!

Aurelio Costarella was AMAZING, AMAZING and THE BEST EVER!!! I will follow with photos tomorrow...

RAFW Day 1 part 2

Wed, 12 May 2010 23:24:00 GMT

Ahh Aurelio Costarella, your dresses are stunning!!! I loved the way the fabric draped, he can mix leather and silk like its meant to be and his fur just tops it off!
Check out the leather shorts too...

also some other gems were these AMAZING Lucette tights.....

and gorgeous Camilla dresses....
