Inspiration

Lifeinstyle Sydney is now only a few days away and we have been working hard getting the new range ready for it's launch.

This season's collection is inspired by the rich, texture and colour of Himalayan traditional dress, we have combined luxurious materials with our trademark sterling silver pendants and gemstones. Deep cobalt blue and tangerine are offset with shiny sterling silver and gold fill beads with a touch of turquoise, coral and red. Totally on trend the new collection includes beautiful statement pieces along with delicate, engraved necklaces and earrings.

Here are a few images which have inspired us

And here is a taster of the new range.

Some Summer Loving

Well, our summer holidays are over and we are back busy at work getting ready for Lifeinstyle in Sydney...but didn't we have a fab summer. The Victorian weather was kind - not too many stinking hot days and not too many rainy days - just perfect! Here are some images of our summer days.

We are taking part in the Fat Mum Slim February photoaday challenge which of course starts today with Your view - here is our photo - hope you can join us on this challenge.

One month to go.....

Christmas is just round the corner now and there are lots of fantastic shopping events leading up to the big day to inspire your gift buying - here are three quite different events that Leoni & Vonk are very excited to be involved in.

First off the rank is the Melbourne French Festival held in the beautiful grounds of Como House

On Sunday we will be at Federation Square at Markit - this designer market is even bigger this year with stalls in the Foyer, Atrium and BMW Edge.

The weekend after -  in perfect time for Christmas shopping - is Melbourne's original POP UP retail event Magnolia Square at Malvern Town Hall now in it's 7th year!

If you are unable to get to any of these events our online shop will soon be full of lots of new Christmas gift ideas so keep in touch either via the blog or Facebook and/or Twitter. We will be announcing a special discount for all our loyal customers very soon!

In the meantime happy shopping!
