Hello My Beautiful Subscribers and bloggers !

I hope you have all been well and enjoying the sun while its out here in Sydney ! And for those of you who are experiencing a nice warm Summer right now I ENVY YOU !!!

In fact, I envy all of you who are out and about as we speak ! I recently injured my self quite badly… Been a little MIA but it’s okay as I have been operated on and am on my way to recovery.

I actually return back to work tomorrow, which is quite exciting ! – I cannot wait – I was going a little stir crazy !!!!

I want to talk to you all about a GREAT little genius-of-a-thing-called STYLESAINT.

It’s a brilliant new website dedicated to Fashion and Style, “the go to resource for all things fashion” and the gorgeous genius behind it all is the one and only Allison Beal !

image

Here you can be inspired with thousands of fashion images. You can create Style books, Tear Sheets (fashion images), A whole fashion profile and collage of things that you love in fashion. It is a great way to collect images on different trends, subcultures, and even some of your favourite icons. It’s all things fashion and it’s great !

Below you can see a feature on one of my favourite icons: Alexa Chung !

And guess what… It was inspired by… The Saint Society… ME and a few others too of course ! (See Below)

Creating Stylebooks and adding images and tear Sheets has never been easier, so Why not give StyleSaint a go and let me know if you like it… www.stylesaint.com oh and while you are there why not check out my page, view my style books on trends and style and subscribe to me.

Getting Intimate with Ratavosi.

IMG_0780

Get A little intimate with me ! Another Exclusive offer !

As we showcased The “Nostalgic Nuances” Collection at the end of last year, we allowed ourselves to stupidly forget just how great and special it was.

Almost every collection I have ever designed and made, I’ve received comments about the dark and mysterious elements within them.

The incredible and unexpected split personality that is present and the very “Ratavosi” style they each have.

So in order to bring it back to life again and because I adore you all ( my subscribers) so much, I am sharing with you another Sneak Peak from my Ratavosi Ready-to-wear Collection.

Both Briefs are vintage styled high waist briefs. Both are Suitable for swimming depending on how daring you are Winking smile

The Black one on the left is  “Madame Lola”. Only available in Black with Contrast Lace insert panels.

The Vintage Tea Stained Brief is the “Nostalgia Brief”. (black bow is a styling item, not included) Mesh insert side panels with stretch lace trim insert.

 

So Spoil a Loved one or even Spoil yourself ?

 

These Items are unique and exclusive, you are guaranteed very few people will have it !

Minimum Quantities.

Be Quick to Email for pre-orders, Inquiries and sizing information.

 

xxxx Much Love, Yours Truly
