hen getting ready for an event like a formal, it’s important to consider the time of day and what the dress code is before choosing your look. “You want your garment to lift your complexion, so choose a colour that suits your skin tone and personal style. When you feel great, that’s how you know it’s your colour,” says Alyce Kassis from Alyzz K Boutique.

“This Spring, we’re seeing a lot of pastel pinks and blues with a mix of florals and pops of ontrend animal print modified with a contemporary twist.”

One thing for Spring With Marie Louise from Red Pearl & Marc Cain As brand new fashion website redpearlfashion.com.au launches, we caught up with Marie Louise from Red Pearl and Marc Cain stores just days after her whirlwind buying trip to Europe.

In Italy, she sources directly from Armani, then it’s off to Germany for Escada, Marc Cain, Monari and more. “Mos Mosh and Ilse Jacobsen from Denmark were the standout and extremely suitable for our market,” she says.

“When buying the collections I always keep my clients and their needs in mind,” says Marie Louise.

“I buy collections in capsules that highlight the key looks of the season, incorporating the latest designs and fabrics to complete the look. Then we add the most exceptional accessories, shoes and handbags.”

Marie Louise and her team offer a personal styling service, and she’s worked with some loyal clients for over a decade, styling them from season to season and keeping their purchase history on file.

From fashion and accessories to real estate, meet some new and favourite faces from The Village family and learn what they're most excited about for this season

All customers will be welcomed at Red Pearl and Marc Cain where every attention is given to each individual’s fashion needs.

Styling appointments can be made by emailing Marie Louise at ml@stylehq.com.au Red Pearl & Marc Cain Level 2, 9449 4413

"We are fashionforward thinkers but still work with our clients to create the wardrobe that they need"

With Andy Huynh from Vicolo Cafe With a love of cooking and a background in fresh produce, Andy and his business partner Mokhtar are bringing fast and fresh family meals to The Village.

“We love the St Ives area and wanted to deliver the kind of wholesome quality food that we love to eat and cook to customers of The Village.

Our takeaway meals are the perfect option for busy families who want to pick up a healthy lunch or dinner,” says Andy.

“Some heroes of our menu include roast pork belly with delicious crispy crackling, and roast beef with freshly roasted vegetables to complete your meal. We always focus on the freshest seasonal ingredients so you can expect new dishes on our menu every three to six months.”

Vicolo Cafe Level 2, The Market Room 8937 0635

“We are fashion-forward thinkers but still work with our clients to create the wardrobe that they need, whether it be for business, travel or those many special occasions,” she says.

"I was a singing coach with Australian Idol for all seven seasons then did two seasons on The X Factor"

“I understand what it’s like to be a bigger woman shopping for clothes and only being able to find older and boring styles. At Taking Shape, we’re passionate about making women feel great by giving them clothes that are designed for their curves to make them feel confident,” she says.

“This Spring, and any season really, layering is key. By incorporating lighter layers of clothing, colour and textures, you can be strategic and attract the eye to certain areas, disguising problem areas and highlighting a person’s greatest assets. And don’t shy away from colour. I always say, as you get older, you should get bolder!”

With Erana Clark from Taking Shape After enjoying a whirlwind career in the entertainment industry, travelling across the world as a singer and talent coach, Erana Clark is finally realising a childhood dream of working in the fashion industry in her new role as manager at Taking Shape.

“I was a singer when I was younger and quickly got into TV singing on shows like Mornings with Kerri-Anne and The Ray Martin Show. I was constantly travelling from Asia to the United States and back to Australia, and as a mother it was getting really exhausting. It was when I was developing an artist in Singapore that I got a call from the producers of Australian Idol –which was then a new show coming to TV – offering me

a job as vocal director and I felt my prayers had been answered. I was so happy to return home.”

“I was with Australian Idol for all seven seasons then did two seasons on The X Factor. The entertainment industry is really full-on and tiresome so I eventually decided to retire and explore other pursuits. I’ve always loved clothes and fashion, and it was a part of the entertainment industry that always excited me so it was natural to begin working in the industry.”

Having discovered Taking Shape as a customer, it’s the brand’s ability to design stylish and flattering clothes for curvy women that Erana loves so much about working there now.

With James Yahl from Savills St Ives Born and bred in the St Ives area, it’s safe to say that real estate agent James Yahl is an expert on the local market.

“I’ve been in the real estate industry for almost 10 years now having spent my career with the team at Savills. As the manager of the St Ives agency, my main role is being an advocate for my clients in listing and selling their properties while helping lead my team to success,” shares James. “I love getting out and working with our clients. No two days are ever the same and that’s what’s so great about real estate.”

"We're seeing a huge increase in the numbers through open homes and a lot more activity in the market"

“We were previously in a buyers’ market; however, this Spring there’s a swing back in favour of vendors now the election is over and interest rates have been cut. We’re seeing a huge increase in the numbers through open homes, a lot more activity in the market and more positive results for sellers,” says James.

“When selling this Spring, first impressions count. Make sure your home is neat and tidy and you’re showing off all its best features.”

With Tanya Prischl from Elan Jewellers Having worked in the centre for three-and-a-half years, Tanya Prischl is taking on a new adventure alongside her husband and brother in-law in opening Elan Jewellers.

“My husband and I are both jewellers and my brother in-law does the design work. I’d been creating and wholesaling a line of kids’ jewellery but we’d wanted our own store for a long time,” says Tanya.

“One of our biggest services is remodelling and repairing jewellery as well as making custom pieces for our clients.

We also have a beautiful range available in store that’s made with the highest quality materials including gold, silver, diamonds and semi-precious stones. We source our materials from all over the world as we’re always searching for the best and most unique stones.”

The Colour of healthy

PUT A SPRING IN YOUR STEP WITH DELICIOUS DISHES MADE FROM FARM-FRESH GREENS

There’s no better time than Spring to hit refresh on your menu and get a healthy dose of greens on your plate from your favourite healthy outlets at The Village.

WITH ETHAN JU FROM CAFÉ MIL L IGRAM

It’s hard to know what to order when presented with a menu as good as Café Milligram’s but it’s the food philosophy and dedication to sustainable eating that is even more impressive.

“Milligram food is about providing ultimate sustenance for the human body,” says owner, Ethan.

Preservatives and food additives can have harmful effects on the body so we only use whole foods and organic, seasonal ingredients to ensure

fresher and more nutritional options for our loyal customers.

Our breakfast and lunch menus both contain 100% natural and organic ingredients, and green produce makes up a huge part of our holistic approach. We want to make sure we’re able to improve our customers’ wellbeing and aid their healthy lifestyles by providing food that is truly nourishing for both the body, and the tastebuds.”

Café Milligram Level 1, 0430 087 160

WITH MIN GAO FROM G O O D DAY J U I C E B A R

A nutrient-packed green juice is a quick and delicious way to get your daily dose of greens on the go. From kale to celery, cucumber to green apples, there’s an abundance of fruits and vegetables to choose from on Good Day Juice Bar’s Spring menu.

“Green juices are one of our most popular options and they’re great for any time of the day, from breakfast right through to an after-school snack,” says Min, owner of Good Day Juice Bar. “We have one with fresh kale, cucumber, celery, mint and apple so it’s full of healthy greens. We can also make any custom blend of fruits and vegetables so customers can mix greens with things like berries or oranges, and all of our juices come in kids’ sizes.”
