Thank you to all who have called in, had  a drink to wish us well and bought something while they were there.  We have also had many clients visit who use to shop with us in the city and had never been to the Studio, lovely to see you again.

It is a very busy Centre with lots of things happening at the moment. Kingston Grind have bought Zest and are making some fabulous changes and re opening shortly as the Square Mile,  and a children’s clothing shop has opened up next door to us, so the arcade is really coming to life again.

THE NEXT 6 MONTHS

I  have taken the space in the Cusack Centre for 6 months at this stage and have decided to take delivery of some winter orders, Gran Sasso, Paula Ryan, Brax, OBI and Visage.

I will inviting you to come to previews for each of the labels as they arrive into the store and offering you some special offers at the beginning of the season rather than at the end, so keep an eye on your emails.

You can have a sneak preview of OBI by going to their website www.highsociety.co.nz.

We have plenty of room and lots of good light to run our workshops downstairs, so keep your eye on your emails and our website for dates and times.

My days in the new store will be Thursday’s and Friday’s and alternate Saturday’s, or by appointment any other day.  Fay will be looking after you  during the week, helped by Shelley Thomson who has just joined us  part time.

Michelle is now working at Fab Face and Body, just around the corner as front of house in the Beauty Salon, Michelle is a trained Beauty Therapist and has gone back to her passion for skin care, but will still be with us on Saturday’s and when we have a function in the evenings.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Every moment in your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful.

Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything you heart desires must come to you.

Shakti Gawain-  from her book Creative Visualisation

Have a great weekend.

Warmest Regards

Ondina

The Studio is now a shop, boutique, or our favourite “the frock shop” or just simply “Ondina’s” whatever you want to call us we are now downstairs in the Cusack Centre, off Green Square or Eyre Street, where Joe’s Boots use to be. I have to say for a Pop up store we don’t look too bad at all, it’s amazing what you can do in 3 days, and a lot of help from family and friends.

I invite you to come and have a champagne, (yes we are still going to serve champagne)… and celebrate our move with us, Thursday Friday and Saturday,. Lord knows we need a drink after our move.

Ondina & Fay

So many of our clients are still on leave and won’t be back until after Australia Day, all the kids will be back at school and we will have moved down stairs to the Cusack Arcade where Jo’s Boots use to be, yes we have decided to take some space for a few months and just have a pop up store to give everyone an opportunity to take advantage of buying something lovely at a great price, BUT we don’t want to carry too much down those stairs so we need to clear as much as possible. It would be wonderful if you could let your friends know or pass this information onto your own networks.

We will be open on Australia Day 11am – 3pm

Closed on Friday the 29th to move downstairs.

Open again (all going well) on Saturday 30th Business as usual from Feb 1st.

Look forward to seeing you soon

Join a small group of women for a weekend escape of personal discovery and nurturing of the soul.

25-27 September 2009

Discover what gives you energy and confidence, find your personal power, understand how to communicate with confidence, focus on strategies for physical renewal and explore ways that you can present with style.

Nurture your self esteem, explore what drives your physical energy and gain insights into building your confidence in every part of your life.

This two day retreat for women, conducted at the beautiful Mona Country Manor House in Braidwood

with elegant candlelit dinners, fireside chats, relaxed breakfast and a healthy lunch.

This weekend is all about you.

Relax in this wonderful environment with 8 other like minded women, hosted by Lynette and Ondina.

You’re all inclusive investment for 2 night’s accommodation, all meals including lunch dinner, breakfast and 2 days of workshops and activities is:

$869.00 per person

Single share – discounts apply for twin share if booking 2 places at the same time.

 Book your own place or bring a friend by calling Ondina on (02) 6162 4488.

Book early as there are only 8 rooms available. 

Only you can make time for you.

As  Natalie Bridges, the editor of New Zealand fashion magazine Simply You, writes in the latest edition, ‘In this climate, it’s not what you spend, but how you spend it- and wear it- that matters.’  Ms Bridges also encourages a focus on ‘updating rather than entirely replacing your wardrobe’, and the versatility of key items that can be mixed and matched was shown at the Ondina Studio parade.

Current media is also making it clear that we are seeing a rise of the so-called ’slow fashion’ movement, which The Sydney Morning Herald recently described as  ‘focusing on designs that will stay in fashion over several seasons and high-quality fabrics that are made to last.’ Adding sustainable items to work with what you already have in your closet, and knowing which trends will be worth investing in, create a wardrobe where the shift from quantity to quality will be both valuable and visible.

Military Style

One trend that is dominating this winter is the military style. This time, military influence does not refer to the dull khaki or camouflage of recent years, but to a structured, authoritarian silhouette. And it looks as though this trend is here to stay, as Australian Fashion week recently showed the same influences for the upcoming summer months.

Our latest winter fashion parade photos can be viewed at www.ondinastudio.com.au , where you can see examples of stylish, military inspired pieces, such as suits by George Gross and coats by Caractere.

Thankyou for your feedback

Thank you to all who joined us and made last night such a fun and successful evening, as well as for giving us some insight into how and when you shop, and how we at Ondina Studio can help you to make your shopping time more enjoyable and time efficient.

Frankincense

Myrrh

Amber

 Annick Goutal Musc Nomad

Annick Goutal was fond of the refinement of her loyal Middle East customers who used to put on their body and hair a wonderful blend of musk powder and rose essence.  She wanted to capture the aphrodisiac effect of this material in Annick Goutal’s new fragrance, Musc Nomade.

With notes of white musc, muscone, ambrette seeds, tonka bean, labdanum and Bombay wood this fragrance is both tender and suave.

See the whole Annick Goutal range at their website www.annickgoutal.com
