Jewel colours continue....

Ok, so it's strictly not fashion.... but how amazing is the Schiaparelli Suite in the Mayfair Hotel, London.

I googled Schiaparelli Pink and this popped up; i'm thinking colour here (well a few nights here wouldnt go amiss either), imagine against Dove grey seperates from Patrizia Pepe, a cocktail by Kenneth Jay Lane in Matte Gold highlighted by a Bright Pink stone...

This colour is what grey rainy days need!

Jewel colours from Milan fashion week part two....

With it's head turning jewel hues, AW11 is turning out to be a sparkling affair at Gucci, with more than a little nod to their previous head of Design.

For those of you that know me, i have always been a massive fan of Tom Ford and this season sees in my opinion influences from his iconic 2004 Fall collection... who could forget Madonna in THAT satin shirt.

Autumn and winter stock is starting to arrive at stylust HQ too, we have beautiful clothing and accessories in these luxurious hues too, just follow the link below or ask us for more details

Pachacuti Panama Hats....

 Soon to be stocked, We fell In love with these beautiful Panama Hats....

A pioneer in fair trade fashion, Carry Somers established Pachacuti in 1992 after completing an MA in Native American Studies. On a research trip to Ecuador she was shocked by the inequitable trading patterns where intermediaries made all the profits. On returning to the UK she read Anita Roddick’s autobiography and decided that, if one woman could have such a positive impact on the beauty industry, there was nothing to stop her doing the same for the fashion industry.   Carry returned to Ecuador and gave two co-operatives the financial resources to buy raw materials in bulk and, with no background in design, produced a series of knitwear patterns which proved so popular that they sold out in six weeks. Seeing the tangible difference this made to the producers’ livelihoods encouraged her to give up her PhD and concentrate on improving the lives of more producer groups in the Andean region.

Carry experienced an initial setback six months into the business when an armed robber in Ecuador stole a large amount of cash from a subtantial loan destined for purchasing her next collection, together with all of her business profits to date. However, she was determined to persevere and lived in a van in order to save money to pay back the loan whilst continuing to support her producers. 

Nineteen years later, Pachacuti is a rapidly growing business with a shop in Ashbourne, mail order department and a wholesale business which supplies 300 retailers around the world and  creates Private Label collections for well-known designer brands. 

Pachacuti is the first Fair Trade organisation to be audited against the Sustainable Fair Trade Management System, the new World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) certification standard. The pilot label was launched in December 2009 and Pachacuti became the first company in the world to be able to put ‘Certified Fair Trade’ on all of our product range. This provides a guarantee that Pachacuti has a proven set of practices, procedures and processes which demonstrate social, economic and environmental responsibility.

As a Fair Trade pioneer, it is important for us not to become complacent and to continue to push the boundaries as there is still much to be done in terms of improving accountability within the fashion industry. 

No sooner had we completed our pilot and been certified by WFTO, we agreed to participate in the EU Geo Fair Trade project, the only non-food organisation among the pilot groups around the world.  Transparency and traceability are urgently required throughout the global fashion supply chain and this pilot enables Pachacuti to produce real, tangible data about the measurable impact we are having on our producers. 

Here at Pachacuti we love to tell you the stories behind our producer groups, but it essential to provide the evidence to back up what we say.  As part of the Geo Fair Trade project, we are gathering over 100 different social, economic and environmental indicators to monitor the annual progress of our principal association of hat weavers.

Continuing on the subject of good old fashioned glamour, I'm so excited this morning i could explode!

We have spoken to one of my favourite ever Italian labels; and guess what!? Yes, we will be stocking Pucci very soon.

We hope the Autumn / Winter deliveries will be with us in late Summer.

Beyond happy; contact us for more details about what is coming in!

Guards Polo Bank Holiday Monday....

Normally I like to admire from afar; but yesterday at the Guards Polo Club Dog Show I could not help but approach this wonderful lady.

The ever so stylish Mrs June Howell Jones was kind enough to let me take her picture; with her beautiful companion Pandora, both accessorised in fabulous leopard leopard print.

An interior design consultant by trade.... and incredibly stylish by nature.

An inspiration.

They are back....

I couldnt leave the brights out for much longer, so whilst choosing more stock for Autumn/Winter and preparing for Spring/Summer 2012, I looked at all the beautiful current stock we have now....

A little taster of what's in store for Autumn....

So exciting! I want to choose everything! We can't guarantee every bangle from this image will be stocked, but a lot of them will be.

Okay, so the weather's not been great this weekend....

I've been taking advantage of the rain and staying in to choose new stock for winter, so in reflection of this grey day i've stepped away from my super bright posts.

not for long though!

will keep you updated...

In the pink part two....

Woke up and was still thinking pink, maybe it was the beautiful sunshine, planning a girls weekend, maybe (and more importantly)  it was seeing that my friends are running the race for life in Cardiff today for cancer research, inspiration comes from lots of places....

I'm working on the website all day today, and yes we have lots of lovely pinks and brights in store, lots of fab changes are coming up soon too. Look out this weekend for a big surprise for all our customers and those of you who have registered with us!

will keep you posted.... not long!

in the pink.....

On the subject of beautiful sunny colours its funny where you get inspiration from isn't it? i know it's not strictly clothing but it is fashion related.... I'm just loving pink right now!

Maybe it's the lovely weather.... look out for more bright blog posts soon!

The cherry on the cake....

Reflecting our love of bright and beautiful colours, we are super excited to introduce hats by la cerise sur lechapeau, How gorgeous are these?

Soon to be stocked by us, we wanted to give you a little taster of what's in store; imagine wearing with a maxi dress by T-Bags or a light and airy combination of silk trousers and racer back vest by patriza pepe....

Spring Clean!

guess what! we are having a spring clean this weekend.... so are having a little sale, we are making room for loads more stock - just type in VIP20 at the check out for 20% discount !

Summer's here....

Speaking to my cousin in Italy today got me thinking about summer fashion (i know its a little bit late but it is very cold and grey here!) She is based near Portofino and is one of the most stylish people I know.

She also has the most amazing taste in jewellery....

So on that note; feeling inspired I thought i'd place a little order with Kenneth Jay Lane - I will keep you posted on arrival dates but check out some of the bangles above and these are very similar to what i have chosen.

our youngest fan....

As it was my last day in work some of my family and friends joined me in the sunshine at a friends beautiful gastro pub. As you can imagine i was not the only one excited about the big move...

Last Day....

ok, so i'm meant to be preparing for my replacement, but i couldnt help having a sneaky peak and my new wardrobe for next week....

I'm loving the Patrizia Pepe biker jeans in khaki - think they will be a definate addition...

New Stuff....

So the time has come....

Tomorrow will be my last day working at my Father's head office, and from next week onwards i will be at Stylust HQ full time.

so the question has arisen? what does your average Blogger / website entreprenaur / personal shopper wear? i've been a bit cheeky and been through the site and picked out some of my favourite pieces to mix and match with what i have already.

I'm especially loving the Wildfox Tshirts at the moment; the fawn one i can imagine wearing with jeans and a vintage scarf from my Mother (Mummy stylust is much better on the vintage trail that i am!)

what do you think? cute or what?

personal shopping

 As well as spending lots more time on the online side of the business, Natasha has been building a client base consisting of personal shopping appointments.  I'll be adding pictures from appointments of our clients, as it's always good to see these gorgeous products in the flesh.

You can book a VIP appointment for a personal stylist at your home or our showroom with a glass of champagne and the whole range of our website www.stylustonline.com and more.

We can arrange for group appointments or on your own. Its a great opportunity to catch up with the girls and do some shopping in the comfort of your home.

We can arrange weekend or evening appointments to suit you - just think of us as your personal stylists and boutique rolled into one!

We can deliver gifts and essentials for those last minute occasions to most of Berskshire, Surrey and parts of London within a day.

Lastly we offer 20% discount on all purchases when you book a stylust VIP appointment.

So it’s as simple as emailing us at stylust@me.com and ask for Lorna or Natasha

This is the point where i start working on Stylust full time, its a very exciting time, but incredibly scary. i have been working on Stylust for the past year with the support of my amazing business partner Natasha and my wonderful Boyfriend (website creator genius!).

I'm hoping the blog will let you see what happens behind the scenes at Stylust as we grow.

Inspired by books, designers, visits to different countries and fashion from around the world, as well as some incredibly stylish people who surround me http://www.stylustonline.com/ contains a mixture of laid back and luxurious products that we love to wear and we hope that our clients will too.
