ELIANA is a MANS best friend for his GIRL & the BEST place to shop for us Ladies!

Hi Lovely People

So many Christmas Parties going on around town - very funny.  I hope you're having a lovely night whatever you are doing.

Tonight's blog is about one of the best Women's stores in Melbourne - I love, love, love it...

eliana design

261 Carlisle Street

Balaclava VIC  3183

Ph: 03 9527 6275

http://www.elianadesign.com.au/contact-eliana-design

The first thing to mention about Eliana Designs is the person herself.   Eliana is warm, passionate and positive about everything she does. Her personality shows (or rather glows) in her beautiful white store which is full of colour and texture.   I loved all the fabulous printed tops and dresses in the seasons latest colours.  The array of accessories is mesmerising.  Whether you are buying your seasonal wardrobe, a special outfit or a gorgeous gift for a friend, I can assure you, the service is second to none.   

With a fabulous range of exclusive, affordable brands, it’s a fashion heaven.  Clothing labels such as Brazilian label ‘Totem’ and ‘Not the Same’ from Holland, Eliana supports many local brands too.  The array of accessories is incredible, including colourful, stylish leather wallets and handbags by ‘Pratten’, footwear, gloves, hats, scarves and jewellery.  OMG, the vast array of jewellery is out of this world!   Much of it is made by Eliana herself or by jewellery designers such as world renowned ‘Moshe Ben David’ from Israel or ‘Love from Venus’ – a very talented Melbourne designer who the Hollywood stars are loving.  Yes, this store is very special and has so much to choose from.  

The price points are excellent.  Especially when you know you will be treated with warmth and integrity, whether you buy something for $20 or $300.  Even if you don’t buy, it’s cool.  This is what gives Eliana the edge.  You can buy a special gift and know you will get the most gorgeous wrapping paper no matter what the price. 

Eliana has many loyal and repeat customers.  Within the 20 minutes of me being there (I kid you not) three regulars came in and bought something.   They couldn’t sing her praises highly enough. It was lovely!

So what is her secret?  Eliana is passionate about what she does and she works very hard.  Along with her seven day a week business, she has a husband and three sons.  Plus the family dog – all male!  Eliana believes success is all about hard work, passion, honesty and building a great rapport with her customers.  Mostly though, a love for life and gratitude.  I couldn’t agree more.

So what’s the latest thing for Eliana Designs? Her new store is at 211 Balaclava Road, Caulfield.  Just as fabulous as it’s big sister store, it features a stunning water feature at the entrance. You can’t miss it. The store’s website is continually updated and you can shop online at http://www.elianadesigns.com.au   

Visit Eliana – you will NOT be disappointed.  And don't forget if you need any styling advice or wardrobe help please contact me at jo@styleincorporated.com.au I have a great special on for December and January only.

Have a wonderful night.

Love

Jo

ELWOOD VILLAGE FESTIVAL and a cool, cheap Xmas tree :) xxx

Hi lovely readers  - I hope you are really well and happy in your life...

I'm doing a 7 day detox camp for a week on Monday. So, I wanted to get my tree up and ready to go. 

I bought and scored a number of my decorations over the years.  But Tree Wise, this years tree was easy.  I headed down to the local park and grabbed discarded branches.  Sparse and ready to be decorated.

Are you ready to shop for Christmas?  Have you put up or thought about your tree?  I baked loads of shortbread biscuits yesterday and popped them all in cellophane with pretty ribbon.  I've never baked cookies before but I wanted to put a home made touch on this Christmas. Hope you like them.  If you want the recipe just let me know..

SO...If you have no time or can't be bothered....Take the effort out of the wrapping, sending and buying by going to Woos.  Check it out.... 

WOO'S. 

It's a fabulous find. You could buy most, if not all your pressies in this store.  Lovely Pip and her beautiful rescued greyhound Bella are there to help.  Prices are reasonable and the products are gorgeous and great quality.

Woo's stocks fashion labels, such as Danish label 'Saint Tropez'.  These gorgeous labels are 'exclusive' to Woo's for Australia. Think...similar to Eco D with Home wares, Gifts, Kids wear and Shoes.

Love it! Check out Woo's or go to the website http://www.woos.com.au/  Owner Pip has met Princess Mary a few times and says she is lovely, natural and very down to earth.  A real Lady :)

Woo's is located in Elwood Village, Ormond Road, Elwood, VIC.  If you want a great day tomorrow, please come down to Elwood for the Festival - it's gorgeous....

THE ELWOOD FESTIVAL from the Leader..

RETAIL specials, roving performers, food and wine tastings, drumming workshops and a visit from Santa will keep families amused at the Elwood Village Festival on Sunday, December 4.

Starting at Noon until 5pm, the community festival will include a variety of “exciting community-based activities and entertainment” for the whole family.  Planned for Ormond Rd between Beach and Pine avenues, traders, residents and visitors will be out en masse, enjoying the atmosphere.

There will be African drumming workshops, a bouncy castle, a visit from Santa, face painting, a Mad Hatter colouring tea party and roving performers as well as food and wine tastings and other scrumptious culinary offerings from the village’s restaurants and cafes

From Me:

A number of the stores in Elwood have 20% off ALL stock for tomorrow only - check out Elwood 101 or Bella Inspirations. There are loads more bargains... I hope to see you down the hood tomoz.

Love

Joey

J Brand COATED DENIM & 'Green with Envy' ...Tres Chic, Tres Cool!

Hi and happy Monday

It's so humid here in Melbourne....like Queensland. 

That doesn't mean you can't be cool in J Brands latest offering of coated Denim (or the comfy, fun brights).  Last week my article featured J Brand Brights.  This week is the follow up as promised, plus Green with Envy.

These skinny, mid waisted, coated denim jeans are hot - especially for those of you on the slimmer side.  Like any skinny jean, unless you're really tall, they are probably best on anyone up to a size 12.  There are exceptions of course.  Check these out....

 
They look awesome on the right figure.  They remind me of Elle MacPherson, working skin tight leather jeans with a white tee and a pair of sky high Jimmy Choos at the launch of Britain's Next Top Model.....



I love the simplicity of this look.  When you wear jeans like these, don't go overly glam on make up or accessories.  Keep it simple and don't wear cheap shoes.  It's a bad look at the best of times!

Top and bottom?

You either wear lovely ballet flats OR get yourself into a fabulous pair of high heels. A stacked or fine heel would be key for night time. No wedges please - it's the wrong balance.  Wear these sexy jeans with a blousey top or tee - nothing too tight or sexy on top.  Pretty them up - balance is key!  Then, top off your look with a structured or unstructured blazer.

Did I mention they come in colours..

So where do you get these babies?? Ring (07) 55917233 for your nearest stockist

 OR

go to Green with Envy in one of there 3 locations - Richmond, South Yarra and Melbourne City.

GREEN WITH ENVY

With a great representation of top Australian designers - especially Sydney guys eg. Camilla and Marc, Sass and Bide and Shona Joy to name a few. Get your bum into this store.  It's fantastic.  Green with Envy has an awesome offer of day pieces, right through to a fabulous after five collection. HOT.  They have a new website coming soon...www.greenwithenvy.com.au

If you need any further info please contact me at jo@styleincorporated.com.au  or visit my website http://www.styleincorporated.com.au/

Christmas and New Year Special...

For the months of December and January, all clients will receive the first hour free with any personal styling session that is 3 hours or more. At the low rate of $50 an hour that is excellent value... I also do Gift Vouchers. So if you, a friend, family member or partner need a little help in the wardrobe department OR even a wardrobe detox please contact me at jo@styleincorporated.com.au

Love

HOTTEST Legs IN TOWN... by J Brand.

Hello

It's great to be back ...my neck is so long I look like a swan!

Today's article has been in my head for some time.  It's all about J Brand and the fabulous Denim they have on offer. Think FASHION - Think J Brand!

An article by Cathy Horyn in the New York Times earlier this year sings the praises of this colourful denim offer in contrast to it's competitors.  In it, Jeff Rudes the founder of J Brand, is quoted as saying 'most people don't get that we are interpreting fashion through a jean...'  He went on to say, when he was walking past the window of Jil Sander and saw a hot pink suit and (although the jeans were already in production) he pushed the speed button to get them into store.  They sold like hot cakes...

Made from a beautiful Japanese twill with 2% spandex they are perfect for Summer and so much fun.

Check out the colours...

For Who

These jeans are not for the faint hearted.  So who do they suit?

A skinny, slim to average sized girl - especially if you're tall.  Not for ladies over 40 years of age (there are exceptions of course).  Hilary looks gorgeous in hers....and I have no idea how old she is...

How to wear them?

These cuties can be worn with Flat Sandals - embellished with sequins, studs & stones OR a Jesus style in natural tones.  You can also dress them up for dinner and clubbing with a fantastic heel - chunky, stacked or fine heeled is good.  But not a big wedge - it doesn't work (in my opinion)

Try something like this for support and fabulosity.....From Gorman.

\ 

Wear a funky,cool tank, sexy sheer blouse or floaty top (if you're feeling a little bloated)  If it's chilly, top off your look with an unstructured blazer.  Tres Chic!

AND...

J Brand have just released their 'coated' styles in Australia.  Here's a little idea of what to look forward to...

It seems J Brand is the hottest denim brand on the market.  With the Australian division wearing the American dollar, you can try these babies on and buy them for just about the same price. 

If you need any help with styling or have any queries please contact me at jo@styleincorporated.com.au

See you soon,

Jo

At last PEEPTOE is in Melbourne.....the yummiest shoes for all occassions!

Hi there my lovely readers...

I hoper this finds you happy and well.

Do you love shoes? Most girls/ladies do.... let me introduce you to MISS PEEPTOE!



Cameron Diaz in flesh coloured patent pumps...

PEEPTOE SHOES opened their first Melbourne store several weeks ago on little Collins Street, in the tres fashionable area between Swanston and Elizabeth Street, Melbourne City.  The store is gorgeous. I want just about everything in it - seriously!  Full of 'To die for' shoes,  fabulous handbags, jewellery and accessories. I was genuinely taken aback.

The staff are lovely.  Not pushy, yet inspired and knowledgable - what a relief.

You can also shop online at http://www.peeptoe.com.au/

BTW....I must apologise, my photos don't bring any justice to these beautiful shoes....

This innovative company launched by Sydney based designer Nikki Hager, used her extensive design and retail experience to satisfy women’s needs, with original, wearable and fabulous footwear. “From the very beginning, stilettos have always been my absolute passion,” says Nikki. “I love the way a pair of stilettos can change a woman’s behaviour and elongate her physique.”
- I agree!

You will find all the strong basic colours, along with the new seasons hottest colours....

While Nikki focuses on strong designs, she does not neglect quality. Peeptoe shoes and accessories are all handmade.  The quality is top notch and the prices are extremely reasonable.

SHOE ALERT...If you wear heels..... NOW is the best time to buy a pair of Beige/Natural/Flesh coloured 'Extra-High' heeled pumps.  These are a wardrobe staple - just look at all the Hollywood stars if you need confirmation.  They elongate the leg and go with everything.  They come in matte or patent leather, along with suede for a slightly softer, yet full finish.  Be careful of suede in this colouring - it stains so easily - one drop of coffee, oil, wine or even water and they're not the shoes you loved a minute ago!

Peeptoe has an excellent selection.  Here's just one....

I love Drew in her taupe suede pumps....

PEEPTOE shoe's are stocked in retail boutiques around the nation and at their own stores in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.  This is where you'll find the true Peeptoe experience.  Alternatively go to: http://www.peeptoe.com.au/ for all Peeptoe info.



Congratulations Peeptoe.  We look forward to seeing more of you and your shoes.

YOU WANT BEAUTIFUL FASHION...HERE IT IS.......NEVENKA!

Hello....

Wow, I can't tell you how nice it is to be writing my blog.  It feels like ages. I hope you're really well and being good to yourself!

This little Blog is about a designer who I admire. 

NEVENKA, created and designed by a true fashion designer Rosemary Masic. It's beautiful!  Yes it's edgy, sweet, pretty, and sexy but it really is different to anything else that is out there.  I love to shop at Witchery or C. R for my seasonal basics but when you want real fashion, this is my pick of the bunch.  Check it out...

One of my true Faves...

I took the following from Nevenka's Website....

For Rosemary Masic life is full of possibilities. New beginnings and adventure are hiding around every corner. You just have to find them. That’s why, when her mother, Nevenka suddenly died, she embarked on a journey to create something extraordinary.

Nevenka is not only a tribute to love and loss; it’s a celebration of all things feminine and beautiful. Whether it’s a sensual draped gown or a structured, tailored jacket, every piece has its own individuality.

Rosemary understands the difference is all in the detail. She never
compromises on quality and uses only the best textiles, which are sourced from all round the world. Embroideries and embellishments from her travels and family Heirlooms are used as inspiration and replicated for each collection.

A mix of past and present, confident, passionate and unique, nevenka is rich with promise.
And, like its designer, is full of exquisite possibilities

How hot is this.....

 ... I love this Label.  This week ONLY, for the next few days Nevenka is holding a Sample Sale in their Howey Place, Melbourne store.  So get in quick, because Rosemary has a clients breathing down her neck for more. 

The store is totally gorgeous... and so are the staff.  You may even find Rosemary in store at the time or possibly gorgeous Emily.  For interstate or overseas ladies fear not! Please go to the nevenka website and call the store if you are interested in a particular piece or 3 - no problem.  Go to http://www.nevenka.com.au/ 

For any further info please contact me at jo@styleincorporated.com.au  

Have a beautiful night.

Love Jo
