Beatrice Holloway helps you get ready for summer!
The sun is showing its face more often these days and Beatrice Holloway is here to help you plan out outfits that will make these top three summer activities even more exciting and enjoyable!
1. The Cottage. A weekend at the cottage is nothing without camp fires, but as the sun goes down and the night gets chilly, nothing will warm you better than the Hepcat cardigan. Its long sleeves, loosely draped fit, and soft material make it a go-to item to throw over your jeans and t-shirt, allowing you to enjoy the flames and laugh the night away with friends.
2. The Park. Your crush plans a picnic date in the park and nervous with excitement, you look for something to wear that will win over his heart. Comfy, cute and feminine you think…what’s better than your Francesca dress? It has all that and more. The choice is made and now all you have to worry about is making it to the park on time.
3. The Beach. Finally, an adventure to the beach! A trip that must happen at least once during the summer. While packing beach essentials you scan your clothes for something to throw over your new bikini…Beatrice Holloway’s Make Out romper. The perfect piece to cover your bikini while keeping you cool. Plus, the florals will look great with your new sandals and sun hat!

Introduction – Up Close and Personal with Wendy Wong
What type of music do you listen to while you work?
I like to start my mornings off slow, with something more jazzy, and speed up the pace as the day goes. I definitely need something higher energy for that 3-4pm tired time. That’s when I blast Yelle or Lady Gaga
What are you reading right now?
Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Marakama
Favorite recently viewed movie?
Vicky Christina Barcelona
What can’t you live without?
My Kiehl’s tinted lip moisturizer and hand salve
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
My impatience! Hurry up!
What freaks you out?
Really fake people
Guilty pleasure?
Kraft dinner! It’s disgusting I know!
Sweet or Savoury?
Definitely savoury – I would live on French fries and chips if they were calorie free!
Favourite Past time?
I’m a spa junkie! A day at the spa with my girlfriends, sitting around in a plush bathrobe, getting a great deep tissue massage and spa pedicure – the perfect day!
When are you happiest?
Travelling! My job allows me to travel the world and I’m always finding inspiration everywhere! It’s thrilling to see what people are wearing on the other side of the world, the colors, fabrics, textures, architecture, retail shops etc. I love experiencing new cultures, foods, languages and meeting new people.
Did you go away on vacation? If so where? Highlight from the trip?
After my work part in Hong Kong, I flew to Phuket, Thailand and Bali, Indonesia. Both were so beautiful, tropical and inspiring, I couldn’t stop thinking resort collections!
What do you want to personally accomplish in 2010?
This is the year of learning for me – I want to learn mandarin and become an Illustrator expert!
Fashion mistake you will never live down?
My one and only perm. I was so obsessed with trying to give my stick straight hair some body, that I gave my chin length hair a perm. And not a wavy one, a tight curly one that ended up as a small afro. Paired with my lavender rimmed glasses and shoulder pads (it was the 80’s!), it was truly a low point in my fashion career.
How has your style changed over the past 10 years?
I’ve always loved colour and pattern but as I’ve gotten older it’s gone from crazy vintage mix and match to a little more subtle (like 1 print at a time as opposed to a few!)
Favourite piece from the SS10 collection?
The Ogle dress, the cut is so feminine and flattering on everyone – and I love that silk print!
Who is your style icon?
Carrie Bradshaw – ok so she’s a fictional character but she had great style – sure there were some disasters but it was fun, quirky yet stylish and she wasn’t afraid to take risks!
Business Goals for 2010?
Expansion into Asia.
