October 2008 Archives

We are just weeks away from the big event.  That's right, the first ever Stoltz Image Beijo Trunk Show!  And this trunk show is going to be the event of the season.  Anytime on Thursday, November 13th, from 10am to 6pm, drop by our studio to view and purchase your vey own Beijo bag or accessory (including wallets, computer cases, and more).  Beijo bags make wonderful Christmas gifts for friends and family, or treat yourself to a Beijo bag of your very own.  We know that we will!  

Beijo bags are fabulous not only because of how great they look.  But, they are also made from the same durable fabric that is used for tuxedo shoes, and they can be easily cleaned with both Windex and Goo Gone.  A reputable brand, Beijo was founded six years ago by Susan Handley.  In order to keep the cost of her bags down (most range between $60 and $100), Susan does not sell her line in departments stores but remains exclusive to trade, corporate, and home shows.  Beijo is always fashion forward and introduces new lines of bags 3 to 4 times a year.

Now don't forget, not only will you be able to buy beautiful handbags on November 13th, but for every $100 you spend on Beijo, your name will be entered into a Stoltz Image service drawing.  The winner will receive one free hour of wardrobing with Shelbi or Lauren.  This hour can be used to clean out your closet or to create outfits from the clothing that you already own.  The Stoltz Image staff will also be available during the Beijo Trunk Show for mini-makeovers so that you can try out all of our cosmetic and skin care products.

Snacks and drinks will be provided.  Please feel free to invite your friends and family.  When it comes to bags, Beijo is best!

At the request of our lovely clients, we are incorporating more anti-aging skin care products into the Stoltz Image line.  Our newest products, all part of the Peptox line, are the ultimate defense against that nasty little thing we call aging.  That's right ladies, Peptox products fight your wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation while stimulating collagen, evenness, and radiance.  Peptox actually diminishes the signs of aging by using peptides that provide moisture and plump up wrinkles and fine lines.

As an introduction to our new Peptox products, we have decided to offer Peptox Beauty Bundles.  For a limited time, when you purchase the Peptox Eye Treatment, Peptox Daily Moisturizer with spf 30, and Peptox Wrinkle Relaxing Cream for Night you will receive a 15% off discount on your Peptox products.  Then, if you additionally purchase the Peptox Lip Treatment and Peptox Radiance Serum, you will receive 20% off your entire purchase of Peptox products.

Hurry in to the studio to pick up your Peptox Beauty Bundle today and start stopping those signs of aging!  Offer expires November 30th.

If you drop by our studio during the fall season, you are sure to see a fun footwear trend in full swing: Men's Wear Inspired Shoes.  You have probably seen these styles in magazines, and they come in a variety of shapes and colors. 

My personal favorite is a pair of heels that I picked up at DSW.  They are chocolate brown suede with patent leather details and laces up the front.

Shelbi has a great pair of men's wear-styled shoes from Nordstrom that are grey with black details and have a wide strap across the middle section of the shoe.  

For those of you that prefer flats to heels, there are men's wear shoe options for you too!  Elaine's new shoes, also from DSW, are suede lace up flats and keep her comfortable while she stands on her feet for consults.

If you are searching without success for your men's wear inspired shoes, give us a call.  We love a good shopping trip, and since we have been scouting out all of the stores this fall, we know the best places to find the fall fashion items that you are loving right now.    

Christine, our office manager, had a fantastic find the other day.  Beijo handbags!  And, these gorgeous totes are all the rage around the office.  We are so excited about Beijo that we have decided to host a trunk show at the Stoltz Image Consulting studio on November 13th.  It is going to be fabulous!  You can stop by the studio any time on the 13th to view/purchase these amazing handbags.  You might be wondering what makes Beijo so great.  See for yourself at http://www.beijobags.com/.  Oh, and did we mention that structured handbags are a hot item for the fall and winter?  Beijo takes sassy and structured to a whole new level!

We'll see you on November 13th.  More information to follow.

Super Wear Lip Creme, originally $21, is on sale for $10 each!  These lip stains come in three glamorous shades along with a clear top coat for a little bit of sheen with longlasting effects.  With Super Wear Lip Creme, you can go from day to night without ever reapplying.  What fabulous fashionista wouldn't love that?  Offer expires October 31st.

Stay tuned for a new product special each week.

Do you ever feel like your outfits aren't completely pulled together?  You have great clothing pieces, but somehow it just isn't "working."  You see pictures of celebrities in magazines and they seem to always have coordinated outfits.  Okay, so maybe this is because they have stylists.  (Side note: You can too!  Just give us a call.  We are the stylists for the not so rich and famous!)  But what stylists have learned to do for celebrities, you can learn to do for yourself.  It is called accessorizing.  A perfectly placed accessory (or two) can pull an entire outfit together.  

So, what I'm loving right now is a store in Southlake called Charming Charlie.  Located in Southlake Town Center, it is the Mecca of all jewelry stores.  Not only that, it has all of your other accessory needs:  shoes, sunglasses, handbags.  And, they even have some fun clothing.  Did I mention that it won't break your bank?  So ladies, stop stressing about coordinating your outfits.  Charming Charlie is your one stop accessory shop!  Even savvy money savers can splurge for a new accessory or two at these great prices.  Confused about how to accessorize?  Call us.  We promise you will look and feel like you walked out of the pages of a magazine!

Whenever finances are tight, we all begin thinking about ways that we can cut back on spending and make what we have last longer.  Clothing is no exception.  Purchasing all of the latest trends may not be an option for us this year.  Instead, we must begin to focus on maximizing our current closet.

The other day Shelbi and I were cleaning out a closet for one of our wonderful clients.  She had previously told us that she was not planning on shopping this fall.  Rather, she just wanted us to help her use the clothing that she already had.  We spent three hours making outfits out of her existing wardrobe.  We ended up creating over 35 fabulous outfits that were both cute and current (and it was not a huge closet)!  Even more amazingly, we had so much fun creating outfits that were comprised of pieces that she had never thought to put together.  It was like going shopping in her own closet, and we found a great way to utilize many garments that she had never found a way to wear.

We also made certain that every outfit was perfectly coordinated with accessories, handbags, shoes, and undergarments.  When we were finished with our outfit creations, we made a small and optional fall shopping list that could be purchased for about $200.

Not only was our client able to minimize the cost of creating a fall wardrobe by utilizing the pieces that she already had, but she has never felt better about her closet.  Her closet is now organized and coordinated to perfection so that she can dress with ease.

Are you struggling to maximize your closet and keep from spending a bundle on your fall wardrobe?  Call us today to schedule a closet cleanout and organization or an outfit creations session.  Just because you are not planning on purchasing new clothes this season doesn't mean that your wardrobe can't be fabulous this fall!
