Elite Image Faves From Golden Globes 2012
Elite Image has had a busy holiday season! Been awhile so we just wanted to pop in and say the blog will start rolling in again for 2012!
Last weekend wrapped up with a new client by referral! Jennifer is back into the work force after having two kids. We set her up with simple yet sophisticated outfits for her return. H&M, Club Monaco, Michael Kors, just some of the stores we hit. The best part about January shopping…. we found a lot of great prices:)
Attached are a couple of outfits I put together for some holiday outings.
Mexx Jacket, A/X dress & belt, YSL clutch, Gucci shoes.
VS tank, Club Monaco scarf, Jbrand skinny, Brian Atwood Shoes. ~ Lisa's fur Coat Value Village $16.99!!
Elite Image Gift Certificates!
A special someone is always saying “I have nothing in my closet that fits”. “I hate shopping for myself”. The answer to that a gift certificate from Elite Image. We can solve all the crazy clothing questions they have!
What if you don’t have time to get that special someone the best gift ever? Elite Image does. Give us a call and have an idea of what they may want. We will hunt down the perfect gift!
Elite Image is the solution to a happy gift giving holiday.
Elite Image will holiday shop for you
With the hustle and bustle of holiday season sometimes it Can be hard to find time to shop for your loved ones! Elite Image can be a huge time saver. Give us an idea and budget. We can source all Christmas gifts for you!! Time saver and guaranteed great gifts…
Just to give you an example of a recent holiday shop we did. 10 year anniversary and the husband didn’t know what to get. Knowing his wife was an avid shoe lover and not a fan of bling/jewellery he had us source the dream shoe for that special 10 years. Attached is photo of what we came up with! Which saved the husband time and grief if it was the wrong gift lol. Needless to say the wife was one happy lady at the anniversary celebration:)

The Room & White Space at THE BAY downtown!
Have you checked out The Room at The Bay downtown Vancouver?
Elite Image have, we actually have frequently been visiting and purchasing!
The Room opened last month after a successful test run in Toronto.They carry many elite Brands
such as Ralph Lauren Blk Label, Roland Mouret, Lida Baday, Max Mara, Armani, and Brian Atwood just to
name a few. Located just steps from the Room is the newly stocked White space which now carries Hugo Boss,
Trina Turk,Eileen Fisher, J Brand, Current Elliot ,Theory and many more great Contemporary Brands.
Its great to finally have another retailer that carries a variety of Mid to High Range options!! Not only is the entire
space aesthetically pleasing but the Customer Service in The Room is definitely comparable to many of the American Retailers that we love! ( Nordstrom,Neiman Marcus) Thus ranking them miles ahead of many Canadian Retailers. Great Product and Outstanding Customer Service is a recipe for success, its exactly what we have been preaching for many years now, and is why we wish The Room much success!! See our pics below from one of our visits.

Elite Image takes on two week wardrobe! Aritzia, Jacob, H&M and more…
Elite Image had a fab weekend going into a double closet clean~out with husband and wife…. Debating on how free t-shirts from sporting events do not count as a dinner appropriate outfit when getting off the sail boat was very fun! Good thing we had the wife to side with us lol.
Sunday we had a new client. The request was to build a wardrobe with a two week rotation. Enough outfits for two weeks that kept a professional but chic look. Turned out to be better then a two week cycle! With 40 items bought on a $3800 budget.. we managed to squeeze an extra dress, sweater, and shoes!..and came under budget at $3750.
Stores: Aritiza, The Bay (Theory suit), Michael Kors, Locale, Aldo, H&M, and best buys from Jacob.
Client: Aritzia. Alicia ~ DVF blazer, A/X jeggings, Michael Kors boots.
H&M scarf, Club Monaco sweater, Paige Denim, Tory Burch bag.
