Has someone just pressed the fast forward button?
With Christmas and New Year done and dusted it’s no question that we are all saying where has the time gone.
Well sit back and relax, because I have a fab collab to show you.
It’s the latest Kholo collab!
It’s all about the handbag!!
What do you get when you ask five amazingly-amazing (can I say that?) influencers to design a unique individual bag for Kholo?
MAJOR EYE CANDY!!
Yep, five amazing unique bags.
And here they are!!
Five influencers were asked to design a handbag for Kholo.
The designer who’s bag sells the quickest gets to go to India with Kholo in 2018 to meet the wonderful and talented artisans that make the Kholo designs come to life and design another piece. What an incredible opportunity!
From each individual bag sold each influencer receives a share of the profit.
So here they are styled with Kholo pieces and others.

Guess what …. Drum roll please ……..
Kholo has a new range coming out in December!!
And it’s turning out to be another stunner!! You won’t be disappointed and you won’t want to miss out!!
Over the past few weeks you have been seeing sneak peaks of Kholo’s new range on Instagram.
If you’re not following yet get on it @kholo_thelabel
It’s a beautiful feed with honest insight from talented designer Karishma. The creative brainchild behind Khòlò.
Through December, Khòlò will have a pop-up shop at luxury handbag and accessories designer Sarah Conners boutique in Hawthorn East.
I will be there for one-on-one styling sessions on 9, 21 and 22 December.
There are limited times so get in quick to be sure not to miss out. It will be a fantastic opportunity to look through the range with me and try on pieces. Book here.
The new range is stylish, feminine and effortless with a bit of a bang.
From a collaboration with Supinthorn Saengsukyen, a Melbourne based award winning textile designer, Daisies in Fields of Gold was born; the print that has been turned into the garments for the new range. It is so dreamy, romantic and feminine.
The cut is boxy and is generous in size, so great for those who are bigger in the bust. For those with a long waist this top will work really well. Team it with a pair of highwaisted pants or pop it over the top of a jumpsuit or midi dress for a whole new look.

B A M October is here just like that!!
Which means the Spring Racing Carnival is just around the corner.
‘W H A T ?’
I hear you say. I know, I am still trying to thaw out from winter myself!!
This time of year there is a real buzz around Melbourne. It is time to crawl out of hibernation, don your favourite frock, pop on a head-piece, shoes, jewels and a clutch to match. Whether you choose to embrace the carnival or not the bubbles are flowing and Carnival fever is at high pitch.
When it comes to choosing your outfit for the races you need to think about your personal style and interpret current trends to incorporate the unique millinery choices and accessories into one coordinated look.
It is important to wear a ‘race-wear appropriate’ outfit. To help you get inspired I have styled three looks for three of the main Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival days Derby Day, Melbourne Cup and Oaks Day. I have used the Kholo Bae Dress design in each look.
The Bae dress is a simple chic shift dress finishing at the knee. Flattering on all body shapes and it comes in an array of colours so you are sure to find one you love.
Derby Day Styling
Derby Day is all about black and white. From the simple silhouette of the white Bae dress to the show stopping head piece, you can’t go wrong with this look.
You can add the detail in your accessories and a red lip for a real pop.
Dress Kholo – bae dress white
Headpiece Murley and Co Millinery – miss louise for hire
Earrings Mimco – chrysalis drop ear
Lipstick Chanel – rouge allure
Clutch From St Xavier – crescent box clutch
Shoes Myer – Robert Robert Acton black pump
Melbourne Cup Day Styling
Melbourne Cup is the race that stops the nation. It is the biggest of all of the days. So why not make a statement in the embellished Bae Dress with a beautifully hand beaded floral design. This is the day when you can really embrace colour and make it fun. I have chosen to use a headband as the dress is the standout feature in this outfit.
Dress Kholo – bae dress with floral details in navy and white
Head piece Suzy O’rourke Millinery – gold spike crown
Earrings Angela Clark Boutique – vintage Czech glass earrings
Clutch Olga Berg – lyric embossed pod
Shoes The Iconic – rina laceup heels by spurr
Oaks Day Styling
Oaks Day is ladies day so elegance and femininity is the key for your race day look. I have chosen to use the Primrose Yellow Bae Dress and have added a very feminine feel with the floral headpiece, clutch and mules.
Dress Kholo – bae dress in primrose yellow
Headpiece The Eternal Headonist – morgan taylor teal button beret with orchid trim
Clutch Olga Berg – lani floral embroidered clutch
Cuff Lovisa – brushed gold cuff
Earrings Lady Fox – soul star earrings
Shoes Filly’s Stable - on parks mandolin mule
In order for your Spring Racing Carnival to be a success always remember to plan your outfit in advance to prevent any last minute headaches. Shoes can be a real problem, so be sure to have a few practice runs in your shoes so your feet don’t end up in pain on the day. If you have room in your bag you could pop in a pair of flats and band-aids for the ride home. Lastly always make sure you have a good night sleep the night before, as we all need our beauty sleep.
Most importantly enjoy and have fun!!

]]>What a great time to begin a collaborative style blog with Khòlò, and drop some monthly tips and tricks.
As a personal stylist, I help women find their own style and confidence, navigating the basics of body shape and personal style is the first step. We are all splendidly different and we all have a unique combination of features. From these features specific styles and pieces can enhance or not. To make a timeless range like Khòlò work for you, it’s about understanding the pieces that work uniquely for you.
We all need to learn to love our bodies, realise our better selves and rock our own style. All of us (and I mean all of us) have those moments when we are not brimming with confidence about our body, or about our ability to select the right complimentary pieces.
Hands up if you have something in your wardrobe that you have had for a while and each time you try it on it just doesn’t quite feel right. When you look in the mirror there is something about it that just doesn’t quite look right. It might be a great piece but what the mirror is telling you is it is not complementing your body shape, your personal style or the rest of your wardrobe.
The key is to create balance, and trick the eye into casting a more feminine or desirable shape.
When you understand your body shape and style, it is the secret weapon that allows you to do more ‘liking’ than ‘hiding’. This is the first step in the ballpark to finding the pieces and looks that work.
At The Personal Styler, I guide a broad range of woman through tailored and a very personal range of services, to discover their true potential.
To learn more, you can contact me at my styling website, and on my Instagram profile and read a bit about me here.
Follow us at Khòlò for this monthly installment….more insight and tips coming soon!
