This is the bag for the woman that needs everything with her, but wants it to be secure. This accessory allows weight to be distributed more evenly using the long adjustable over the body straps and is ideal for the woman who is ready to take on the world! Great for mums with toddlers, as your arms are free for grabbing and wiping. Some of the new styles are actually waterproof, great for those accidental spills– yucky!<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

As soon as I mention the word 'Party Plan', I feel people around me cringe and suddenly switch off listening... images of stacks of Tupperware fill their heads and thoughts of being trapped in a room with someone giving them the 'hard sell' fills them with dread. I must admit I have been to parties just like that, waiting for a timely moment to slip out the door without being pinned to my chair and being lectured about joining the company as a demonstrator, with this incentive or that % of commission. BUT wait, things have certainly changed for this area of retailing especially in the last 2 years. <br />

I pride myself for actually listening to my customers hearing what features they desire in a handbag, what they like and don't like is very important to me. I don't want to be one of these companies that are so far removed from their clients that they leave them behind and become alienated from them. I like to work with the women who ultimately wear my bags. It keeps me real and down to earth and I design functional and desirable handbags because of it.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #7f7f7f;"><span style="color: black;">The reason why I believe my way of the 'Party Plan' idea is working, is that I don't need to 'sell' my products at these parties. I display them and they sell themselves - they are such an individual product that the ladies are desperate to have a look at them once they arrive. I work around the party and alongside the hostess, answering any questions, explaining the features and benefits of each style and organising great fun games and prizes. Everyone leaves with something and even if I didn't get any sales I would be happy to have had the valuable customer contact to help me design new and even more desirable ranges. It's a win win situation.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKhomYy4tlwulWWQaYegp13vsg-7H0ZwD4Arj-N9DiDZtkOuzbn9__BzL7IhPSu9Vg2IQKBs6hj95nNbvOcPCo8i5rKx_otbn9lV5fAPaeG0r8L2JPDMKVl5rKxlHKDHJjXwtf8Zcj8ZE/s1600/untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKhomYy4tlwulWWQaYegp13vsg-7H0ZwD4Arj-N9DiDZtkOuzbn9__BzL7IhPSu9Vg2IQKBs6hj95nNbvOcPCo8i5rKx_otbn9lV5fAPaeG0r8L2JPDMKVl5rKxlHKDHJjXwtf8Zcj8ZE/s200/untitled.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This book is the essential guide to all accessories; Jewellery, belts, shoes, scarfs and my personal favourite... Handbags. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A lot of people forget about accessories, but as Imogen puts it, they are “ The icing on your cake” and she is right. A very ordinary outfit can be transformed into something quite special, by the correct use of these essential items. Accessories can bring alive your outfit in so many ways and it is a perfect way to express your personality. Not all of us have the courage to wear bright bold colours in a entire outfit, but a cute pair of yellow earrings that match a pair of yellow ballet flats can give you that little bit of edge to get you noticed. In this book, Imogen says by grouping similar coloured accessories and changing them daily you could even look like you are wearing a different outfit everyday.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Accessories can be thought of as an non-essential items, but they can seriously make or break an outfit, Imogen shows you how to use them to the best effect and has some great little tips you could use for speedy dressing of a morning.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Imogen helps you to decide what accessories to buy and whether they should be a cheap fashion spend or an invested classic. What size you should buy according to your bodyshape or what feature you would like to enhance and the all important how to store them. If you don’t know what you have you may as well not have it. In the chapter ‘levels of refinement’, She talks about what fabrics go together and why. She touches on the fact that many modern day women are not wearing enough accessories in fear of getting it wrong this book helps you to trust your decisions with straight forward facts and images.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A lot of the tips and suggestions really are common sense, but written down in such a simple way, with diagrams to help, Imogen helps to establish the rules firmly in your mind so when choosing glasses, a hair style or that killer handbag, you clearly know what shape or style to complement your face shape and body frame. I love the chapter of your ‘balance points’ helping you to divide your body up into points you should highlight with certain accessories. She has come across a lot of women who had the right accessories, but were not wearing them at the correct heights it’s sort of Feng shui of the body.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would not suggest you reading this book all in one hit. There is far too much information to take on board, this book is ideally suited as a text book, as you can dip into it regularly to find tips and hints. An ideal coffee table book and a great addition to your book shelf.</span></div>Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17923134661914527319noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166025259897727150.post-33505339126817067482011-06-29T18:04:00.001+10:002011-06-30T10:50:27.225+10:00What do customers think of H for Handbag?<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I have said in previous blog posts I LOVE feedback. It enables me to solve any design issues and provide a better service for my customers. I recently approached some of my fantastic 'H for Handbag wearers' and these are some of the things they said about the bags they purchased...</span><br />

The designers have little or no contact with the consumer (you guys) and the end result is 'fast fashion' bags, that go out of date quickly and tend to have design issues because they are not wear trialed for long enough. </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">These problems all arise as the lead times from design to store are so tight. Giving little thought to the bags comfort and design faults, all companies striving to get the 'copies' on the shelves first.</span></span></div><br />

Every comment is valuable to me.</span></span></span></div><br />

I recently took a H for Handbag poll as to how long a bag should expect to last, everyone replied longer than a year. Fashion changes from season to season new trends emerging constantly but large shifts are seen every season. A handbag fashion life is relatively small, about 3 months, before it looks 'so last season'. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPx0RE5hrkFS4o_Jk8oePv1xhPfsf0DeiOus-LZga9xDEKnYt0rWCH4wU0jNUPPokiJL_DJsiVWMKAstsTsAMJKms8BgxiZTbc795YG3D5iqiu8mLich-jLdRB6O-u6lR1m27cD8H2lDw/s1600/Picture+116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPx0RE5hrkFS4o_Jk8oePv1xhPfsf0DeiOus-LZga9xDEKnYt0rWCH4wU0jNUPPokiJL_DJsiVWMKAstsTsAMJKms8BgxiZTbc795YG3D5iqiu8mLich-jLdRB6O-u6lR1m27cD8H2lDw/s200/Picture+116.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is why H for Handbag is different as your bags will always look chic, unique and a little bit wicked. All the bags are designed in a practical way, I am able to lock-in small production runs, so they are limited edition styles and they all have a little element of surprise, like bright linings and quirky colour combinations. All the bags are designed for it's end use - work, fun and party, and all are designed to be practical and comfortable taking a little bit of stress off your shoulders, so you can get on with your busy lives.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigNKuj9JOW9DBblinEjC185KFYSZnklXpDFXv2lXM0aNezKuw1AOu94-hc4neXRRdKwNM4pb4mW5LCIKdvXOjRdf_nNk_g4OdU8P4HeLzDPcIjna1rbnyEvg04naKtHC0fTbUmczy8pnM/s1600/image7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="136" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigNKuj9JOW9DBblinEjC185KFYSZnklXpDFXv2lXM0aNezKuw1AOu94-hc4neXRRdKwNM4pb4mW5LCIKdvXOjRdf_nNk_g4OdU8P4HeLzDPcIjna1rbnyEvg04naKtHC0fTbUmczy8pnM/s200/image7.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">These styles are also not in the high street shops, which is a good thing for you guys too, as shops always add a minimum of 100% to the price, to cover over heads.

There is nothing wrong with them as a fashion trend, I think they fab, but they are not an opportunity to use the extra space to carry a whole plethora of objects that you really don’t need everyday.<o:p></o:p></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_ztwKo0dPIfHXpH5zdl1bUbgeDqNC268RQu2Y1sJmiLQ1u2Pi93gVclCW8rR8w1Ll99FfUqWLZUw0_6rWqkugFnl8CFPmnLG6opt4XnXs-mK8i7m6Mlh2AdwUCmMDcjwxGkWb2ZhcXc/s1600/katie+holmes+big+bag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_ztwKo0dPIfHXpH5zdl1bUbgeDqNC268RQu2Y1sJmiLQ1u2Pi93gVclCW8rR8w1Ll99FfUqWLZUw0_6rWqkugFnl8CFPmnLG6opt4XnXs-mK8i7m6Mlh2AdwUCmMDcjwxGkWb2ZhcXc/s200/katie+holmes+big+bag.jpg" width="138" /></a><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I remember once my cousin was searching in her bag for something and she pulled out a lightblub (yes Nicola!), I was actually shocked<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that she had such a obscure item in her bag, but this sort of thing is quite common. I even caught my mother 'breaking the rules', she had filled up her bag with sorted change for the bank, but kept forgetting to exchange it, and as a result, she was lugging Kg’s of coins around for weeks! Maybe you put things in your bag just in case and never use, these little things, although small and harmless, can all add up to a very heavy weight which you are lugging around everywhere you go.</span><br />

You could be asking for trouble if it weighs over 3kg. </span><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-themecolor: text1;">You wouldn’t carry around a 3kg dumbbell from the gym.

If you think about how you carry a bag, it’s usually on one side and you pull your neck to one side and lift your shoulder. It’s a very unnatural position. It creates strain along the neck and into the nerves down the shoulder, so it can be very painful later on leaving you with back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and possibly even arthritis.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

There is nothing wrong with them as a fashion trend, I think they fab, but they are not an opportunity to use the extra space to carry a whole plethora of objects that you really don’t need everyday.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I remember once my cousin was searching in her bag for something and she pulled out a lightblub (yes Nicola!), I was actually shocked<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that she had such a obscure item in her bag, but this sort of thing is quite common. I even caught my mother 'breaking the rules', she had filled up her bag with sorted change for the bank, but kept forgetting to exchange it, and as a result, she was lugging Kg’s of coins around for weeks! Maybe you put things in your bag just in case and never use, these little things, although small and harmless, can all add up to a very heavy weight which you are lugging around everywhere you go.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

If you think about how you carry a bag, it’s usually on one side and you pull your neck to one side and lift your shoulder. It’s a very unnatural position. It creates strain along the neck and into the nerves down the shoulder, so it can be very painful later on leaving you with back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and possibly even arthritis.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

There is nothing wrong with them as a fashion trend, I think they fab, but they are not an opportunity to use the extra space to carry a whole plethora of objects that you really don’t need everyday.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;">I remember once my cousin was searching in her bag for something and she pulled out a lightblub (yes Nicola!), I was actually shocked<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that she had such a obscure item in her bag, but this sort of thing is quite common. I even caught my mother 'breaking the rules', she had filled up her bag with sorted change for the bank, but kept forgetting to exchange it, and as a result, she was lugging Kg’s of coins around for weeks! Maybe you put things in your bag just in case and never use, these little things, although small and harmless, can all add up to a very heavy weight which you are lugging around everywhere you go.<o:p></o:p></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1WZb4vDp9n6e4MAp8AdUobl2VFV2Kh4TOZXVAsHWlsphZZRSB-wMaRXopDBxPxlaMix1bIx104o3lprjr0HjkImOWnlLltfleRztbcQ9nd2hwKQHJ6BYiNfCrWANAvj6EKd2lJJ__Scg/s1600/canstock5980268.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1WZb4vDp9n6e4MAp8AdUobl2VFV2Kh4TOZXVAsHWlsphZZRSB-wMaRXopDBxPxlaMix1bIx104o3lprjr0HjkImOWnlLltfleRztbcQ9nd2hwKQHJ6BYiNfCrWANAvj6EKd2lJJ__Scg/s200/canstock5980268.jpg" width="196" /></a><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-themecolor: text1;">Try this: Put your handbag on the scale and weigh it. You could be asking for trouble if it weighs over 3kg. </span><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-themecolor: text1;">You wouldn’t carry around a 3kg dumbbell from the gym. So why would you sling a bag weighing the equivalent over your shoulder and walk around with it? <o:p></o:p></span><br />

If you think about how you carry a bag, it’s usually on one side and you pull your neck to one side and lift your shoulder. It’s a very unnatural position. It creates strain along the neck and into the nerves down the shoulder, so it can be very painful later on leaving you with back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and possibly even arthritis.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

The lyrics from John Lennon's song (Just like) starting over...<br />
<br />
<em>It's been too long since we took the time <br />
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly <br />
But when I see you darling <br />
It's like we both are falling in love again <br />
It'll be just like starting over, starting over </em><br />
<br />
starting over... that's exactly what I am doing. I have taken time out from my business to devote time and energy to my lovely little bambinos and now they are old enough for Mummy to get back on her little horsey, take hold of the reigns and trot off into handbag heaven again. Although, this time I am grasping the reigns with all my might and riding that pony to town! <br />
<br />
What I mean to say is, after time away from my business, I can now look objectively at it. I have an instant re-newed enthusiasm that I am finding quite frankly invigorating. One of my friends mentioned today that my face has changed and I look happier and more determined than I have done for months... and I can feel it too. I have energy that was lacking before and ideas popping out of my head so often that I carry a note pad around. I am sending e-mails here there everywhere reacquainting with old contacts, web designers, researching competitors and generally feeling this surge of creativity through my soul. <br />
<br />
I started this business in 2006 and by 2009 it had meandered haphazardly on it's own, down a path I didn't originally intended it to pursue, and eventually I hit a brick wall. I was trying to troubleshoot where, I can see now, I should have been leading it. Most of this was due to the recession, but I remember in my business course, that so many people fail with their businesses within the first 3 years and there I had it, after exactly 3 years, not a failing business, but one that was running by itself. I remember also, I was told to 'work on' my business not just 'work in' it. These things are so clear to me now, after having my 'break', I know where this baby is going and if you wanna come for the rollercoaster ride watch this space. This b*tch is back!Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17923134661914527319noreply@blogger.com2
