NEW SITES TO EXPLORE

Some New Sites to Shop at Shopper Concierge:

This week we have added a couple of new sites for your shopping pleasure, from two completely different categories:

American Apparel for fun , bright, casual wear

and

Georg Jensen for Homewares ( yes they have more than Jewellery!)

American Apparel

The 100% made in USA, American Apparel brand, is well worth checking out if you are looking for hip clothing that is young, fun and bright.

They have ranges for men, women and kids.

Traditionally known for just t-shirts and denim, they now have a comprehensive range of leggings, pants, sweat tops & fitness outfits, swimwear, dresses, sunglasses and bedding.

The style is casual and reasonably priced (although they service Australia from a specific Australian site which has slightly higher prices than the US site).

Georg Jensen

I am sure that you are familiar with Georg Jensen's beautiful range of silver Jewellery and watches.  Yesterday at Shopper Concierge, we explored their e-shop and were excited by the other beautiful products that are available online.

Specifically we fell in love with their homewares range that includes:
Decanters
A range of wine openers
serving platters
Cheese platters
cutlery and other silver items

It is a great site to shop if you are looking for a special gift or something to stand out in your home.

All shipping is done through Australia Post and the claim 10 days for delivery.

Definitely worth a browse

Happy Shopping

SHOPPER CONCIERGE TOP 7 SITES FOR JEANS

With the change of seasons upon us one of the key items to update in the wardrobe is your jeans. Picking the right style of jeans for your body shape is critical, so before you do anything on the purchasing side we recommend a full analysis of what has worked and what hasn't in the jeans you have now. There is no point buying the latest style if it doesn't make you look fantastic and lets face it every model who has ever advertised a pair of jeans  are clones of Mr & Mrs Pitt.

Some Q's : Finding the Perfect Jean:

1. What part of you body is your best asset : pick a cut that focuses on that part of your body.  If you have long legs skinny fit will work , if you have a nice curved derrière then a curvy cut jean ( rather than a straight boy cut) will work. Draw attention to the good parts.

2. What part of your body do you want to provide some camoflauge for ( and lets face it everyone has one) ? Best avoid a cut that draws the eye straight to it. No point buying low cut jeans if you have a pear shape figure as you will spend your whole time looking for ways to cover the muffin top you have created. Go for a higher cut jean that pulls you in a the waist. Pick a style that doesn't draw attention to parts you want to hide

3. Know what fabric you like : some jean fabrics are stiff and keep a very straight look and others are softer and mold to your shape more. Know which one you are looking for

4. When looking online, analyse the style of the jean : Although the person modelling the jean will look nothing like 99% of us, we can still learn a lot from the picture. Which bits of the models body does this particular style highlight ? For example is it tight around the thighs? Is this what we want to highlight or hide in our own body?

Take your time looking online and review mutiple cuts and brands. Often you will find a brand of jeans that just work and you end up sticking to them.
