Stylist’s Outfit Look 5 | Corporate Spots !

Posted on August 15, 2012 by rratavosi

Every now and then spots and dots come back into fashion.

Sometimes the classic black and white, other times coloured

maybe set out closer together or even far apart…

Either way there’s a certain kind of dotty print for everyone !

– – – –

The one I chose is this black and white double layer blouse.

IT is really comfortable short sleeves and the fabric is nice and lightweight too. Perfect for Transeasonal wear.

It’s only $39 and from our City Dressing Department.

The following tops are other polka dot blouses. There’s quite a few to pick and choose from !

Nice and sheer classic black and white polka dot print with a front ruffle

We also have the same style, slightly different with brown and navy spots below.

Both of these shirts are $39.

This super cute black blouse with white spots and front pleating is the perfect classic addition to the corporate wardrobe.

It is just $29 and very comfortable and sheer.

If you are into metallic, we have out silver metallic blouse with black binding and white,grey and navy polka dots all over.

this too, is $39.

If you like something you see, Simply click on the images and you’ll be directed to the link, as these are all currently available online !

As I mentioned before, I chose the blouse in the first image.

Here is how I styled it.

It’s very plain, simple yet on-trend.

No extra efforts at all Smile

All you need is your basic corporate black pants.

If you don’t already have a pair, Target Essentials offers a straight leg pant at just $20.

OR what I’m wearing is my hot options one from my previous post ( the one with the snakeskin belt)

I am also wearing, on top of my blouse, our very comfortable and versatile Ponte Blazer.

The fabric Ponte adds extra warmth and stretch and therefore this blazer is the best one EVA !

What I love about this look is that if you’re not such a big accessory fan you can always get away without it because the top itself is already patterned.

So if your more the corporate classic kind, this is your look !

Overall damage :

Ponte Blazer : $79

Blouse : $39

Target Essentials | Brighten up the wardrobe Part deux

Posted on August 11, 2012 by rratavosi

I’m someone who pretty much lives in her flats !

I’m always carrying them with me because you never know when that gorgeous pair of platforms is going to turn on you,

So I’m always looking for easy shoes to slip on and off BUT the key here is comfort !

It’s always about comfort, and Target essentials have absolutely nailed it with their latest range of Bright flats.

Now I didn’t believe how comfortable these flats were until I touched the inner sole.

SUPER “cushiony” with a soft “you-know-it-wont-give-you-a-mad-blister” outer !

I thought I’d take them for a “test-drive” because they were only $15 !

My goodness they were so comfy and so cheap !

Didn’t bother my feet at all on my 9 till 5 !

So I took a few pairs and moved them to my stylists box !

Here’s a few pics.

They come in Grey, Black, green

and yellow

and Orange !

I’m not sure if they are available online yet but they are definitely available in Target stores in Sydney, Australia !

…And a hint of Neon

Posted on July 31, 2012 by rratavosi

Personally, I LOVE Popping bright colours Especially all the neon palettes in Sydney’s stores !

BUT there are some people who AREN’T as experimental with the crazy range of colours in season.

Don’t Fret -There is a solution to follow the trend and not be so OUT THERE !

There’s a lot of things I pick up on when styling at Target. It’s amazing how much I learn about clients habits, insecurities, and personalities just from what they choose off the stylist’s Rack.

One of the bigger issues is this idea that “oh it probably looks better on the hanger so I don’t think I’m willing to take off all the layers and try it on”. Perfect example : Majority would never wear my red snake skin denim right ? or a short fluoro belted peplum skirt for a corporate look? They are much more reserved and tamed BUT when they take a good look at what I’m wearing (yes it’s that outfit they doubted as they walked passed it ) it gives them this massive confidence boost to get on the sales floor and pick up all the styles they’ve wanted to wear but haven’t ! I’m curvy and absolutely un proportioned so none of them have the excuse “oh but you’re a model – it will always look better on you” Yes Ladies I have plenty of Junk in ma Trunk ! ha-ha

Having said that, If you are a more tamed individual who wants to follow the “ fluoro/neon” trend that’s hitting the stores do it subtly with a neon coloured belt instead.

It can add pop to any plain outfit without making you feel insecure or too BOLD – after all, it’s just a belt, don’t like it then just take it off or switch it… !

We have some great dresses and pants in store and online all with fluoro belts.

Here are my picks:

Very cute black and white patterned dress with an orange removable belt ! The bright belt gives more flare to the already contrasted dress !

This dress is $59 – to purchase online click on the image.

If you have plenty of tops in different colours then this may just be the pant for you. (even if you don’t, the neon belt is there to bring out your outfits)

It’s a very comfortable,skinny leg pant with stretch ($45). It also comes with a removable orange belt to help keep you on trend no matter what season it is.

Mix and Match different coloured belts according to the palette’s of your outfits.

Two little black dresses – one with lace and the other with awesome peek-a-boo shoulders ! Both $39 and have neon belts.

Such cute outfits !

You can even mix and match coloured belts for all these outfits as well as mixing and matching handbags and shoes.

Ill also keep uploading the “Stylist’s outfit of the day” so you can see how I’ve worn other looks.

Target Essentials | Brighten up the wardrobe Part un

Posted on July 28, 2012 by rratavosi

So everyone always expects “basics” ranges and “essentials” ranges by designers and department stores to be boring and dull, and colour-LESS !

BUT here at Target our Target Essentials range is a tad bit different !

We may have basic silhouettes but with our BRIGHT Sorbet coloured basics you can add some more ZING into that Winter Wardrobe !

My two favourites from the new arrivals are our Ruched Cap Sleeve Tops in Lime and Pink

OH AND the best part is they are just $ 15 !!

What I love about these Bright Tops is that colour blocking your outfit is made so brilliant and easy – you can also dress it up or play it casual !

Lime or Pink ?

Take a Pick… or choose both !

To purchase simply click on the images and you will be redirected to the online store.

We also have some cute bright coloured flats instore – so Keep an eye out for Part deux

Stylist’s Outfit Look 2 | Wine

Posted on July 25, 2012 by rratavosi

I like to change up the personalities each look represents every now and then – It’s not only fun but it also shows how people perceive you – so different – all from what you are wearing.

This look is much more timeless and corporate.

I chose a Sheer Wine coloured City Dressing top.

I chose this top because it combined so many design elements I LOVED.

A button up collar, Sheer fabric, and another favourite … Guipure inserts !

The pants I’m wearing are from the Hot Options Range at Target.

They have non functioning pockets for detail.

I love the fabric of these pants because they are just so comfortable to be in all day – especially at work.

I personally don’t have a lot of bottoms in my wardrobe because of the “junk-in-the-trunk” but this is one that fit perfectly without all the extra hip bulging bits ha-ha.

Another thing I added – They originally came with a white/black/grey snakeskin thin belt but I swapped it for a thin dark brown one.

If you ever get stuck with what to wear with burgundy or wine coloured garments – alot of the brown palette goes well with it.

You can purchase this pant online as well just click the image below.

For makeup I went for a more natural look with light smoky eyes. My lipstick is a Nude Attitude by Revlon and my eye shadow goes from a brown to a black subtle cat eye. For the brown/gold I used Essence Marble brown and the black I used RIMMEL. I’ve applied it very lightly to fit in with the much softer features within this outfit.

The Final touch : just a pair of black heels !

Outfit :

Top $49

Pant $45

Extras :

Eye shadows – $4.99 each

Shoes $40

All of these Can be found at Target Australia – specifically Target Castle Towers

and While you are at it come pay me a visit or book in a session !

there’s more looks to come…

AZ to the TEC

Posted on July 23, 2012 by rratavosi

Amongst all the leopards,fresh fluoros, and pastel palette’s displayed in shop windows, there’s another sort of trend that’s been lingering around.

They’re not quite Abstract or Geometric but they’re AZTEC !

For those who aren’t familiar with this trend here is a little history (all you need to know for now anyway ! ) before we hit the Target Aztec Styles in store.

The Aztecs Originated from Mexico. Their Art reflected their great appreciation for insects and mammals.

Traditional Aztec Colour Palette’s for clothing include deep blue, green, red and yellow.

However, as contemporary Designers have adopted style and formed it into a trend, Designs and colour palette’s have become more diverse.

So what are my picks and what have we got instore !?

Hot Options Aztec Print Woven Tee $35.

This beautifully printed chiffon tee is the perfect spring/summer must-have ! Add some flare in your corporate outfit or wear it casually with some denim ! To purchase online Click here

Like the print but don’t want a Tee ?

Well lucky for you it also comes as a Super-cute Dress !

STYLIST’S PICK FOR SURE Smile !

This hot Aztec item Features a round neckline, elastic waist and even comes with a removable black belt !

This dress is $45 – click on the image for the link.

Aztec Tube Skirt $ 25 ( click on image to purchase online)

A very comfy Aztec print skirt. Features a concealed elastic waistband. Wear it with a plain black cami and purple jacket or a purple or burnt orange tank to stay casual.

We also have the first Aztec print in our maternity range. The fabric is very lightweight and it also comes with a black belt. You can wear it with or without a belt and it also looks good with some burgundy Ponte tights. Currently $31.20 – Click on the image to purchase online

That’s pretty much all the spring/summer colour palette Aztec we have in-store.

P.S COMPLETELY UNRELATED !!!!!!

The Latest on T.L.O.R and Snake Print Denim <3

Posted on July 17, 2012 by rratavosi

17th July – One week away from the final hand-in of hardcover book for major project. ( it’s been 3 weeks after marking)

Status: … Meh! Just a Tad fluey – no comment though…

This last Term of college – the production end of it all had gotten me quite booked up and busy.

Early mornings, Late nights, Sewing, sewing, sewing and more sewing, Theory and of course work…See the word “break” in there ?… no, of course you wouldn’t ! It didn’t exist !

After my final marking ( which I must say went quite well except for a few changes here and there), I was worried that I’d go absolutely insane going from a hectic lifestyle to a somewhat relaxed and comfortable break with nothing to do but NOTHING. On top of all the stress and ongoing to-do lists that would repeatedly race inside my mind during what was meant to be “sleep”, another question was always present… What will be next ?

So what came next ?

Well it wasn’t the wonderful break I’d been hoping for.

No trip to LA or New york, No hot Cheetos and Pretty Californian Sunsets, Not even a Europe or Eiffel Tower anywhere in there.

You see, when one studies fashion design it isn’t like most of the other university degrees where you can go vacation your heart away after you’re finished (unless you are loaded…baha!) but by the end of it there is no such thing as “savings” and you’re so broke from all the outsourcing and major project costs that you’re actually stuck right where you are… ( Yes believe it or not it’s true)

However, it didn’t turn out all that bad for me. The “OMG-what-the-hell-will-I-do-after-college-ends” panic mode for going from hectic to suddenly relaxed was wiped away and a new door opened. The full-time Stylist door ! Oh yeah baby !

So I’ve pretty much gone from designer production stage to the other end – Styling and dealing with all the pretty end products… THE SEWING FREE ZONE !

I’ve been doing In-store Styling for Target Castle Hill for the past two weeks, and I’m loving it.

I have my own little Stylist hub at the fitting rooms – So If you decide you need some advice on what to wear or want to know what’s on trend and what we have, you can drop in and book a one-on-one session with me.

So part of the job is obviously me wearing clothing from Target. I make up my own outfits per day and right here is where I’ll share them with you.

Every outfit, every clothing and accessory Item – All from Target.

So If you like something that I’m wearing from my Stylist’s outfit of the day you can easily go to your nearest Target store or come down and visit me and you can purchase it yourself. It’s that easy !

Stylist’s Outfit Of The Day | Look 1 | Snake Print Denim Reowr !!

Graphic, all-over, placement, and animal prints are all in this season and especially here to stick around for S/S ! So why not Bring out the Wild side in you with one of my seasonal Favourites – The Crazy Red Snake skin pant !

It is a nice all over snake print on a red base. A classic 5 pocket denim style that is Mid rise and a very nice cut skinny leg. Suitable for all sorts of body’s – yes even those with bums and tums.

These are my favourite pair of pants this season. The cut is absolutely amazing ! I’ve sold them to all sorts of customers with different body shapes and on each one it’s a miraculous fit ! It’s the miracle pant – I’m telling you ! haha The waist of this pant is a mid-rise. This means that it allows for people who are bottom and hip heavy LIKE ME – The skinny leg is also very flattering as it’s cut to a nice snug fit around the calf/knee allowing you to bend and sit in comfort whilst remaining its shape. The print is also not so heavy so it doesn’t look like a mess.

To Style this outfit – I picked a black Shirt with a high-low hem.

It also comes in two other colour ways. A Burnt orange and a Khaki. Both very on-trend, “Aztec” and easy to accessorise.

Add a Random Black Bag | Leopard print panel works well.

To accessorise – Stick with the same colour palette’s of red and black – a shiny red diamond look with gunmetal would be great. I’ve chosen a matching set.

Add a Necklace….

and matching Bracelet

Don’t Forget the Shoes !

( If you don’t have a good pair of black heels, why not go for a comfortable pair like these.

A nice wedge and average stiletto. Wedge and stiletto are in a snake print and the rest of the shoe is a suede-like fabric)

and the Lipstick.

Beauty Attitude’s $3 Lipstick is a very affordable price for a good quality lipstick.

A darker Raspberry red is great for brunettes and girls with darker features and a regular bright red for the fair skinned beauties.

So what’s the Damage for the final look ?

Core pieces

Pants = $49

Top = $35

Total = $84

Additional | Accessories

Necklace = $ 20

Bracelet = $ 15

Bag = $ 35

Shoes = $40

Lipstick by Beauty Attitude = $3

Total = $113

All of these can be Purchased from Target Australia – Checkout the website for your nearest store or visit me at Castle Towers.

Getting our Lipstick Pink on !

Posted on June 30, 2012 by rratavosi

Half way through Winter and I was already over it before it even started ! ha ! So I’m dedicating this post to a POP colour – LIPSTICK PINK !

I’m a big fan of the summer colour palette’s – turquoise, orange, the citrus and neon’s, pinks and everything that’s a lovely S/S Bright !

Adding Bold and bright colours livens up any dull little black dress outfit or a casual palette look ! So I’ve decided to forget winter, dig through my wardrobe and get my Lipstick Pink on with last years Stock !

Pink Coat from Ladakh – It’s an old one from last year but If you find a great fitting bright coloured coat – BUY IT !

Lipstick by Bourjois – You can’t really see it in the picture but it’s worth a check out.

Shoes from Betts – They are from Summer at the beginning of the year so if you don’t have a pink pair yet, not to worry because it’s in the S/S colour pallet’s and will come back in again this year !

Keep your eye out for Bright coloured Coats, Lipstick, and shoes ! Those were mine…. so where’s yours ?

Let Fashion Show Your Beautiful Side| Anya Sarre

Let Fashion Show Your Beautiful Side

Women are bombarded everyday with slick magazine covers of perfect women looking stunning in today’s fashions. The reality is that most of these women have the same flaws as everyday woman. Today, you can learn to love your body and feel confident and beautiful with the right clothes and accessories whether you’re tall or short, skinny or curvy. Beauty comes in all sizes, colours, and shapes!

Pastels, bright colours, bold, and whimsical prints are the highlights of this summer’s fashion trends. Not to be ignored is the breezy and spunky bohemian look with a chic flair. Choosing a great handbag and the right women’s shoes will smooth out that great outfit. A great outfit will make you feel confident and ready to take on the world. Feeling confident should be a 2012 summer movement allowing all women to bring out their inner fashionista for the world to see.

Neon colours are also going to be all the rage. These fun colours along with a fabulous pair of shoes to match are sure to make you feel upbeat and outgoing. Don’t be afraid to be daring and bold with a little colour this summer. Nudes and beiges are fabulous and soft, but step out of the box and show summer what you’re made of.

One of this summer’s hottest colours is bright orange! If you’re a curvy woman, choosing a slightly tailored dress or pant suit in a soft pastel or small floral print will give you a slimmed look. Show the world that you can still wear orange by adding an orange handbag and heels. You will love how you feel with some bold colour accents. Accents make an outfit and you make it absolutely gorgeous!

Maxi dresses are fantastic for women of all sizes. These flirty, long, flowing dresses will make you feel both comfortable and chic. Large, soft floral prints compliment any figure. Choose a smaller handbag and low heels that will keep your look breezy and carefree.

Have fun this summer and step out of your comfort zone by trying something new and trendy. When you feel beautiful, you project that confidence onto others and they will see your beauty too. Step it up a notch with fun prints and bold colours. When you look good, you feel good, but when you look great, there’s nothing you can’t do. The new you is waiting, so lets show her off to summer!

Hey everyone !!!
I’m actually on a crazy little hype right now – (doesn’t quite help that I should really be trying sleep as I have to wake at 5am for college but besides that … hii !!! ) ha-ha

I’ve had a great day actually, and you’ll never guess what I’ve been up to ( P.S I’m sure when people ask you what you did today your answer is nothing like this…)

… I visited cemeteries (not because someone passed on – trust me I wouldn’t be this happy), trying to get the subtle graveyard/gothic vibes for some photo-shoot ideas for Spring/Summer 2013.

see… I told you ( now everyone is probably thinking weeiirddooo !)

…though I must say it was successful ! After viewing so many of them I have the greatest LOCATION EVAA !!! But that parts a secret. What isn’t a secret is the fact that I’m almost half way there. The sampling will soon come to an end – another week should do it – the fabrics and experimenting are all done and what will soon be left is the final capsule collection to be completed. Every morning I wake up and my rolls of pretty pure silk and leather skins shine at me from my work room.

If you haven’t gotten the story yet, I’ve shared with you a mood board that symbolises the elements present within not only my collection but the direction I want to take for the photo-shoot too.

It’s going to be a beige and black summer baby !

Romance was Born | The comic Book comes to life !

Posted on April 30, 2012 by rratavosi

I think it was late 2010, Mid October when I had the pleasure of working with Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett for a day at there Studio on Oxford Street.

I’ll never forget their cluttered studio – cluttered in a good way of course ! It revealed the source behind their inspirations and creativity. It was filled with many beautiful trims, creatively embellished props and pieces, inspirational images, colourful fabrics and collections. Without having studied them intensely, I could already see what talents they both had !

I began to fall in love with them more and more. The more I saw their logo, their designs, their runways the more they both inspired me !

During this time of year I’m usually wrapped up in fashion week – assisting designers, stylists as well as dressers backstage, however this year I took a step back and decided to sacrifice what I love doing every year (as I’m sure there are so many more events I can do this at) and focus more on major work.

This morning, as I turned on the television, my fashion fix sprung to a new high !

Not sure if you all know but Mercedes Fashion week has started here in Sydney, Australia and guess who opened the show – yes ROMANCE WAS BORN !

The comic book came to life with Romance was born’s collection !

Superhero styled hair and makeup, graphic prints, pop art, geometric stripes, it was all very 60’s, very fun and I loved every bit of it !

Here’s a few pictures from the show.

REALLLY WANT THIS !!! ^^

so who else likes Romance was Born ?

Happy Easter Everyone !!!!

Posted on April 9, 2012 by rratavosi

Happy Easter Everyone ! I hope the Easter Bunny Spoiled each and every one of you. I must say though, for once, I haven’t consumed much chocolate ha-ha

Thank god for the Easter four day Long weekend though or else I wouldn’t of gotten a decent breather. However, it wasn’t all break break break.

Friday

it was really nice to spend some “TIMEOUT” with my boyfriend away from college and work, my first day off in such a long time. ( Yay to everywhere being shut !) My boyfriend and I head down to Brooklyn ( no not NEW YORK !! – I wish ) where we had a little picnic for ourselves in front of the water. It was really relaxing, a good chance to de stress, watch the water, the surroundings ! I loved it 🙂 I’ve been so busy with everything, as I always am, that It almost felt like a dream. Towards the night we made dinner for my boyfriends family, two little master chefs we are ! Very juicy chicken breast marinated in soy sauce, honey and oranges with a side of oven baked and Italian herbs seasoned potatoes and pumpkin ( yummy !! ) and of course some salad ! It tasted so unbelievably Great considering the oranges !! Definitely a Team effort Smile

We ended the night with Paranormal Activity 2 and 3 – Just for fun and to shit ourselves a little haha

Sunday

We headed to our Armenian Church in Chatswood, Sydney for Easter as well as rehearsals for my brothers wedding this Saturday ( OMGGGGGG SOO SOOONNN !!!!)

Here is my outfit from the day :

So I chose to wear all black with only one animal print to keep it on-trend yet simple for Church.

I purchased this python printed top from a boutique a few weeks ago and have been dying to wear it since !!

My Skirt is a very old Forever 21 skirt from When I was in LA California in Spring 2009 – I love this skirt and will probably never throw it away as it’s saved me SO MANY TIMES ! hahaha

Some final touches – I buttoned up the shirt collar for a sharp look and added a strip of Lace trimming which you can find at any haberdashery/fabric/ribbon store. I simply chopped a bit off what I had bought, and tied it in a bow around my neck as you can see in the picture.

I also decided to wear black stockings – conservative for church. And one of my favourite jackets from my wardrobe. It’s a Little Black Jacket, but the panels, the thin collar and sleeve/shoulder design give it that extra oomph and make styling your look so much easier because it’s ALL THERE !

I’m striking a pose for you lot down below hahaha Fierce baby Fierce !

As for shoes and hand bags, I went all black. However I did want to go my new teal heels (from a previous post) and my matching ASOS bag. Another option could be brown or burgundy as both these colours sit well with the subtle tones.

I hope you all had a weekend as great as mine ! Let me know what you guys did ?

xxxx Much love, Yours Truly
