*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 - Kate Garey 9th of August



New Feature Friday!
Featuring Kate Garey

All her products are beautifully made with quality fabrics.

Interview with Kate Garey l Owner/Designer of KateGarey.com


1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?
My brand came about quite organically and it’s hard to pin point specific inspirations as there are so many. I really enjoy using retro prints like polka dots and stripes to be the back drop for my designs. I try to stick to a theme for each collection but I try and let ideas come to me naturally. Business peeps wise I was really in awe of brands like Lulu Guinness and Cath Kidston and I love illustrators Kate Sutton & Gemma Correll. Really there are so many inspiring business, creative and crafty women out there I feel I am in good company and am inspired by them all every day. Design wise I look to nature, animals and retro feel.
2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?
It’s lovely being able to be creative each day. To listen to music as loud as you like while you are working. Meeting fellow creatives for coffee & a chat. Getting all excited each time one of your new designs comes to life. Ultimately being your own boss.

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?
I think my proudest moment is yet to come. There is a lot I want to do still so I'm looking forward to doing them. I'm proud to have started and grown my own business on my own without really knowing what I was doing. It’s a brave thing to make dreams a reality. I also get a nice buzz when I get some press in a magazine or paper, It’s weird seeing your name in print.

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?
Oooh that's a mystery! I’d really like to keep growing, spreading the word about my little business. There are more products I’d like to try and do but for now I'm concentrating on the handbags & accessories.

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?
Be brave, take the leap. 

6) Which would you say is your favourite item off your website at the moment?
I love the Mr Sausage Dog Day Bag but I'm excited about my A/W collection coming out in September. I can’t decide between The Dapper doctors bag or the Mad Legs Luxx Bag.
