*NEW* Feature Friday - Olive And Frank 6th of December



New Feature Friday!
Featuring Olive and Frank

Woohoo we are officially into December with only 3 weeks till Christmas! It has been such a whirlwind of a year personally, so here's to hoping for a positive New Year ahead.
This week's Feature have been a business which caught my eye recently in Look magazine's Top 10 new labels! Olive and Frank has become a blogger's favourite go to on-line store, with a mix selection of clothes, accessories and shoes. Who else has been loving their items is the fabulous Rosie Fortescue from MIC! 
Their style has been described as Vintage staring off beat classics, but is definitely rocking this seasons trends at reasonable prices!
Olive and Frank also have a Bloggers Network so if you're interested check out their website to find out more on how you can collaborate!

Interview with Chloe l Owner of Olive and Frank

1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?
I was always driven to have a career doing something I love, fashion was one of my first loves so I suppose it was only natural that It went in that direction. I think having a genuine interest and passion in what you are doing shines through and continues to inspire you everyday. I still get a huge buzz when I see my hard work paying off!

2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?
I really love that I have total creative freedom in what I do. I can grow and shape Olive and Frank organically, I have so many ideas of things I want to do and directions I want to take. Everyday is different and that keeps it fun and exciting!

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?
I think it has to be being named one of LOOK magazines top ten new labels!

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?
I would like to expand our current collections and grow Olive and frank to be recognised globally.

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?
The biggest piece of advice is to just stick at it, keep plugging away and try new things Trust in yourself, believe in your own ability and you can achieve whatever you want!

6) Which would you say is your favourite item off your website at the moment?
Our Kate pom pom sweater is a favourite and the bow brogues have been getting a lot of love lately!

*NEW* Feature Friday - Sugar and Style 13th of September




New Feature Friday!
Featuring Sugar and Style

It's finally the weekend! And it's Feature Friday here on UniqueLoveStyle, I'm thrilled to have this business featured for you all today; It's the fabulous Sugar + Style!

If you're a complete fashionista like myself then you know how we're always finding a on-line store which has a wide choice of the latests seasonal trends, yet affordable and great delivery service.. Sugar + Style has it all! They've been featured within the press and bloggers have been adoring their pieces, from their knits to floral statement skirts as some of their favourites. 
It's been a pleasure to interview the owner and find out more about herself and the business!

-------------------------------------------------------
Interview with Nhuc Tran l Owner of Sugar + Style(formerly China Doll Boutique)

1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?
I've always wanted to work for myself and to have my own label. I spent the last 5 years working for small independent brands and having a very hands on role in varied departments. I eventually ended up as a consultant working with fashion start up brands but in my last contract role I decided to take the leap and work and start up my brand. 

2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?
I love the creativity that having my business allows. Building a brand is hard work but I really enjoy the challenges it brings and it has lots of rewarding moments.

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?
Being featured in Vogue was amazing, it's a magazine that I adore and seeing my product in there amongst some of the worlds greatest designers was a great achievement.

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?
I'd hopefully still be running Sugar + Style but on a much bigger scale. I would love to open a few boutique stores in the different cities and expand the brand globally.

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?
I think it's really important to get enough experience in the industry before launching on your own. Launching your own label is a big commitment so you'd want to make sure you had a good network of contacts and that you really want to put in the hard work to make it work. I specifically targeted smaller/start up companies to work for as I knew it would it would give me an all round experience.

6) Which would you say is your favourite item off your website at the moment?
Every item is selected by myself so that's a really hard question and I do truly love each and every piece on the Sugar + Style website!

*NEW* Feature Friday - MinkyShop 19th of April



New Feature Friday!
Featuring MinkyShop

 Happy Friday everyone! This week's Feature is the most adorable, MinkyShop! They sell the amazing Lolita and Cosplay Japanese wear. Looking on their website I feel in my element, everything is so unique and cute and Minky is such a lovely person too.

 Minky is a part-time student and model for much of the stock, Minky founded MinkyShop in 2004 as an ebay store. She followed her passion for fashion and helped open up a gateway for Japanese and Asian fashion clothing and footwear. Today, MinkyShop offer more variety, great prices and a friendly service that's in touch with the scene. Finding stock for followers of gorgeous eastern fashion is important, but they like to add a little extra fun with diverse and different products of the culture. As such, MinkyShop has had everything from Lolita dresses and footwear to Cosplay, Tabi Socks, Japanese video games and Hello Kitty car seat covers on their virtual shelves!

 I completely adore the website's layout, the images are perfect and very well described for their customers. If your also unsure about the sizes on certain items they include size guides which is extra helpful! 

--------------------------------------------------

Interview with Minky l Owner of MinkyShop


1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?

Ooh, fashion. Like all good Asian girls I studied business before fashion, which helped with setting up an online store. I love fashion and style, everything about the scene inspires me. Sometimes it only takes one image or glimpsing a pair of shoes to suddenly make me think about redesigning my entire wardrobe. I like the flexibility of fashion too: it's easy to go wrong if you don't think about your personality when you're buying clothes, but if you're sensible then experimenting with new styles is loads of fun. 

2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?

My MinkyShoppers! Honestly, I have a really, really lovely community of buyers. I always communicate with honesty and transparency, and find that people warm to that and are really sweet and often contact me just to chat. I don't think business is about automated emails, it's important to be a real person.
They also respect that I'm only one girl and there's a lot of pressure involved, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for understanding that sometimes I'm just very busy.
Of course it's not all plain sailing: I have a lot of very young buyers who aren't too trustworthy of the internet and end up snapping at me impatiently if I don't respond quickly enough. Guys who don't read the listing info or FAQ, or let all my email go into their spam filter make life really hard lol!

 3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?

Opening the MinkyShop website! eBay selling was a nightmare, they made it almost impossible for me to carry on there so I had no choice but to leave. I walked into the scary unknown, spending seven months working non-stop to try to get a site together (with no experience). 
Thankfully my help was very good and on launch (nearly!) everything worked. It took almost a year to iron out the little hiccups, but not too many people noticed those thankfully. I love my store, I think it's the absolutely cutest website ever, exactly how I imagined it to be! ^_^

 4) Where do you see yourself in the future?

Not sure really. MinkyShop can be very hard to run for me. I'm multi-lingual, which is the only reason I can maintain the operation, but all the east to west communication and trying to buy in new batches of stock can be challenging, especially at the rate Asian fashion is sells out at wholesale: it's all in high demand and stuff disappears right your nose a lot. I'd like to expand if I can and actually hire some staff. We'll see. 

 5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?

Passion and vision: there's no success without those two things, and that applies to anything you choose to do I think.

 6) Which would you say is your favourite item off your website at the moment?
Probably the Purelove Sweater, I got a white one for myself and I love it. Too cool! The black sold out almost instantly, I'm hoping to get a restock soon.
