Mela Purdie Essentials - Transeasonal Wardrobe Blocks

Quality pieces in soft jersey that you wear all year round. Most Mela addicts have their favourite - the Deco Tank, the Slim Leg Capri or the Long Singlet - we have a few in the closet in a couple of colours, and of course, the old faithful black, bought few seasons ago.  



If you don't already have this top in black and white you need it now! This classic 3/4 sleeve boat neck top has been in the Mela Purdie range for the last few seasons because it is a transeasonal, wardrobe essential. Great for layering, perfect on its own and available in a variety of hot colours. Do yourself a favour...


The 3/4 pant is one of Mela's best sellers and a favourite of ours here at Impulse. These soft jersey pants pull on for ultimate comfort and are so easy to wear. With a flattering straight leg and 3/4 cut, they're perfect for women of all heights and shapes. Get a white pair for summer and 3 black pairs for winter because trust us, you will live in them!

BUY NOW!




Another staple Mela basic. A great shaped singlet in beautifully soft jersey that wears well. It won't ball or crease and sits smoothly against the body. The definition of great 'clothes that travel with you'. Keep an eye out each season for the latest colours...




You will find these essential wardrobe building blocks that will let you develop your own style with confidence at Impulse Boutique online store.

Camel. Lilac. Khaki. White. Beige and Sunshine.

Neutral hues have launched this Season's Fashion Scene into Summer with the full force of the Sun. Light, natural tones such as Camel, Lilac, Khaki and clean Whites are the building blocks of your wardrobe.

After a prolonged wet spring and almost 6 months of wearing too much Black, I'm welcoming the cool, calm, feminine colours of this Seasons colour palette.

If you're not used to wearing Nudes, my word of advice is make sure you choose Neutrals that are in contrast to your own skin tone. Mix up your Neutrals with White and Slate, to give your outfit balance.

Don't be afraid  to wear soft colours to formal events, the trick is to keep it simple, choose luxury fabrics and pair your ensemble with a classic pair of Black Heels.

If you want that endless leg look, try a pair of Nude Heels; they give the illusion that your Heels are a an extension of your body, adding at least 6 inches to your height.

It's time to lighten your wardrobe. I promise you it will lighten your outlook and lower your body temperature!

Inside next months INSTYLE magazine, Feb 2011

I wore a body sculpting slip for the first time recently. I bought it for to my Sister's Wedding and wore it underneath a gorgeous Black Taffeta Dress. And...? Well, they work. They really do sculpt your figure and smooth out all curves and underwear lines. At the end of the night though, dancing my little heart out on the dance floor - I was melting! These things are soooooooooooo hot!

Ive been told they need to be made of a high percentage of Spandex or Lycra in order for the garment to "reduce you" magically into something half a size too small. But as we know, Spandex and Lycra don't breathe! ...Not good for one night, definitely not good over a whole weekend.

This week I received a press release from our marketing pals in the Fashion world, introducing me to a new Body Sculpting Slip. Recalling my recently melting frame under the disco lights, I cringed but read on....

What if there was a Body Sculpting Slip that enhanced your assets, smoothed undesirable lines from bust to thigh, could be worn with or without a bra and BREATHED!

Ill give you a sneak preview into next month's InStyle Magazine; J'Lo has trialed this one for us and looks cool as a cucumber.
I think this is worth sharing....


'Cylk Body' is a seamless eco-luxe shapewear collection, with natually anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic properties. Its made from bamboo fibres, is lightweight, highly breathable and super soft against the skin. I like it!


 
Of course, I wouldn't leave you without telling you where you can get one.
You can get your own eco-luxe Body Sculpting Slip online at IMPULSE BOUTIQUE.COM
