Mr Rose - Beautiful Shirts for Spirited Women
Boutique by style and by nature, Mr Rose designs and creates in Australia, producing a limited number of pieces per season. Classic, man-style or frill with distinctive collars and cuffs and tailoring that gives you the edge.
This season Mr Rose created 'Mac the Dress' inspired by the French Resistance and like all good agents has many guises:
-
"Fortified" - wear with sleeve
-
"Plucky" - detach caplet to have a sleeveless dress
-
"Enterprising" - wear caplet over a t-shirt with jeans
Available in soft safari Italian cotton twill, navy stripe cotton/linen and a silk graphic print, Mac-the-Dress in all her wrap-style-glory, is the ultimate warm season wonder. Contact Mr Rose on 9368 1423 or email sophie@mrrose.com.au
Your Voice for Business Workshop - When Only the Best Will Do
If you pitch, run meetings, train, present, and network, your voice needs to be a powerful, flexible, expressive instrument that helps you grab and hold attention. Your voice needs to connect emotionally so that your message is clear and memorable.
This workshop run by Mariette Rups Donnelly is a must as Mariette is a highly respected presentation skills coach. She is a voice and movement specialist with a background in top level performance.

| "When I first met Robin my wardrobe was mostly black with a few white tops. I had clothes ranging from size 16 to 20 and I wore tighter fitting shirts and pants with larger tops. I had been wearing black and white for so long I had no idea what other coours suited me. During my first conversation with Robin, we talked about which celebrity's clothing style I liked the look of. This is how my journey into colour and style began.
We met to go shopping, Robin had already researched what styles would suit me. It took 2 hours and I had 16 shirts, tops and jackets that I could mix with skirts and pants I already had. I also had accessories, which I had not considered before. I felt wonderful and the amazing thing was that I received compliments from colleagues on how great I looked.
Robin has an amazing talent in matching clothes to a body shape, a wonderful eye for colour and is also very generous with her knowledge. She taught me how to shop and how to use colours and accessories to alter the look of an outfit."
