Coming Along!



Basically Boutique is coming along nicely!

Making huge progress with the website - products have been loaded and we are working out the finer details.

Stock has started to arrive - this has to be my favourite part - I can now play dress ups, I mean shortly we'll be able to do the photoshoot!

PHOTOSHOOT!!! I've got the greatest team on board and I really feel like the photographer and I have the same vision for the shoot, which has me feeling cool calm and collected.

I plan on organising a really intimate viewing of the collection at some point before the launch, which will be 1 July 2012.

As Basically Boutique is a smaller start up sizes and stock levels are seriously limited, to thank my twitter, facebook and bloglovin supporters I'm making arrangements to let everyone shop the site earlier than the general public!

If you would like to be notified and would like to keep a closer eye on what is happening at Bascially Boutique you can 'like' us on facebook here, sign up for Basically Boutique news here or follow us on Twitter @BasicallyBtq.

Here are some products you'll find on the site when Basically Boutique launches:

 Denim from TEXTILE Elizabeth and James


Leather Outerwear from VEDA

 Beautiful Jewels from Venessa Arizaga


Eyewear from Thierry Lasry
 
 
Clothing from April, May, By Zoe and more will be arriving shortly after:

I'm Sorry!


I'm terribly sorry I've been so absent the last couple of months! Let me explain, I realised that life is too short for me not to be doing something I'm 100% passionate about. So, I decided to do something about it! I'm starting my own business.

Basically Boutique an online retail store!

I've worked in Marketing for years, I started in fashion and beauty and then pharmaceuticals and now IT, it felt like I was moving further and further away from my goal job and the area I'm most passionate about.

So I started thinking about owning my own retail store, how and where do I begin? I started talking to friends in the fashion industry and researching, researching and researching. I emailed person after person after person and drew up the business plans.

Six weeks later I found myself registering a company, meeting with suppliers and setting up accounts.

It's real and it's happening!

Brands I've got on board include:

Andeol - Scarves from Australia
April, May - Clothing from France
ByZoe - Clothing from France
Ciate - Nail Pots from UK
TEXTILE Elizabeth and James - Clothing from USA
Venessa Arizaga - Jewels from USA
VEDA - Leather Wear from USA

I'm now waiting for stock to arrive so that I can have them photographed and loaded onto the website. There is a lot to do!

If you would like to follow my progress please check out the Facebook Page and share it with your friends. As we get closer to launching there will be giveaways and lots of exciting news which I would love to share with you!


Although we are based in Australia we will ship worldwide! xx

Here are some goodies you can expect to find on www.basicallyboutique.com come July 1 2012!
