NEW AUTUMN COLLECTION
Newmarket on Saturday – this weekend
Ponsonby on Monday 1st March
Wellington Tuesday 2nd March..
Basically all you need…
We seem to be so all consumed and focused on the glamorous outer layers that we wear…..
and the under layers (which are closest to our skin) seem to take a back seat.
Without these specially designed sleek, smooth, holding and flattering basic essentials our look would not be half as successful as what it could be..
So we dedicated this blog to our :
TAYLOR BASICS
We will begin with the shoe string slip, the perfect round neck both back and front. In black and white these slips are one size, but quite unique in the fact that they hold and smooth the body…
The taylor tank slipsare available in black and white and are made out of the same 93% meryl 7% elastane as the shoe string slips. They are made in one size and have thicker straps for a more casual look and feel.
Taylor cami’sare a shorter version of our shoe string sips and equally as amazing on the body. Black, white and cino are in store…
Taylor leggingsin thunder, white and black are the perfect opaque under layer with an elasticized waistband that will not create the muffin effect! Made from 96% viscose and 4% lycra from Italy they are heavenly against bare legs.
These super sheer taylor essential tanksare made out of an Italian viscose silk and are not only great for layering, but brilliant as a smart causal top with jeans teamed with a contrasting taylor cami underneath.
For a warmer layer in this coming winter season our merino suture scoops in black and white are a nice option. This super scoop neckline basic is also available in a 100% sheer cotton in argon, fog, white and black.
If you cannot find what you are after from this extensive range…we do have our new shipment of metalicus……with many colours and styles to choose from…
METALICUS BASICS
Possibly not for long though……if you’re thinking basics…..look no further….. taylor has you covered!
Our New Area Manager….
We would like to introduce you to our new area manager at taylor, who will be working in ALL of our stores on ANY given day….
So watch out taylor ladies…..
Sheena Papuni is here to style your socks off and keep all three of our stores ticking along like harmonious sanctuaries for stylish women!
As we tend to be a curious bunch, we thought that we would take the liberty of asking Sheena a few questions for your benefit and so that we could all get to know her a wee bit better….
1. What made you decide to join and want to be part of the taylor label and team?
Vicki Taylor as a retailer has been an inspiration as a retailer and a designer from the first time we met and this is crucial when looking for a dynamic work environment.
Taylor garments are always a welcome addition in my wardrobe because of the exceptional fabric and design quality not to mention the taylor twist in styles which stands out from your mainstream copycat industry.
2. Have you been lucky enough to see the new season product and if so, what is your favourite piece and why why why???
Luckily for me I have seen a lot of the new season Winter 2010 Collection and it’s looking to be a very successful range. Not to mention that I am already wearing one of the dresses….
100% Silk Resolute Tunic…
It comes with it’s own button piece that you can attach and detach as you please depending on the look you are hoping to achieve. Fabulous!
3. What would be your ideal day off work?
Early morning run or surf followed by a cafe breakfast.Quick change of attire including some gloss and down to new market for a spot of shop hopping (including a cheeky purchase or three) and meet up for lunch with a friend. No doubt there will be an evening activity including again…food…and great music-preferably a small intimate live setting with great acoustics.
For all those days when I am just too lazy…a good book in the sunshine does the trick.
4. What is your definition of a workaholic and are you yourself one?
Workaholics in my books basically live and breathe their chosen career to a point where you are unable to define the difference between the actual person and their role. I believe to be successful at what you do- you have to immerse yourself so that you know your business inside and out- this is definitely something that I strive for so that decision making etc become second nature and you are a better business person as a result.
5. Do you have a few tricks up your sleeve for the taylor brand that we can look forward to in the near future?
The simple answer is yes! Watch this space!
For the sheer fun of it…
1 thing you LOVE: Food
1 thing you HATE: Smoking
1 thing we just HAVE to know about you: I am a shower singer. And according to my flatmates a super whistler. ha-ha.
ha-ha is alright…Good luck meeting our latest edition taylor team employee with big ideas, quirky habits and tremendous ability. She can currently be found lurking around the Ponsonby store…….pop on in…..we apologize in advance about the offensive orange road cones…….bare with us please!!
Did we hear a request for dresses and colour??
Here they are…perfect for your up and coming event..wedding, party, dinner, lunches or simply looking fabulous on those weekend days.
The response to our bright colour palette last season was so great that we decided to spoilt you with these…
Cocooning, light weight, effortlessly draped tangent dresses in more colour than one…..
We promised more than one colour…….in this rich, lustrous and textured 100% silk
And for those neutral fans……and oh so slick with a petite Conclusion Blazerover the top to the office and perfect for the weekends with some cute ballet flats and taylor opaque leggings……..the icing on the cake!
Who would have thought one dress= so many looks?????
Now we are not by any means suggesting that you purchase one in every colour…we are simply stating that there is possibly one colour to keep everyone smiling…..
Pop into store to be tempted by the naughty tangent dress….and there are plenty more new season products on our racks to meet you needs…
Osborne & Teed Street are the places to be this Saturday..
If you do not have anything planned for this saturday and are within the Auckland vacinity you just have to pop down to Osbourne Street (between Kent and Teed Street).
From 11am until 3pm the street will be offering a three piece jazz band to set the mood, face painting for the children, charity raffles and giveaways.
Whilst enjoying the lovely jazz band do visit the team at Altezano for your caffeine fix- no one makes a better cup than Tim.
For you taylor junkies we will have the lovely Shona and Vicki in store armed with divine cupcakes from icing on the cake for your consumption…….
If you are not in early they may all be gone by the time you arrive…(the girls in store may not be able to resist these delicious looking treats)
We will also have a $150 sale rack for you to search for a bargain within our designer samples, marked down product, previous season and seconds selection.
As we now have NEW SEASON stock in store, we are going to run a personal taylor wish list. By simply going through the collection and writing your most desired item on a piece of paper and popping it into our wish box- you go into the draw to have taylor grant your wish come true.
How else would you better spend this saturday?
If you are not there, aside from the fact that you may be square…..you may miss the opportunity to score your favourite new season taylor garment for simply visiting our teed street store.
See you there!

New New New Shoes Shoes Shoes!!!
We have had a new season drop already, we promised that we would inform you. Now it’s not all in store yet…but these Tracey Neuls shoes are waiting for prized, caring, stylish owners who value Italian hand made shoes and enjoy long walks along the beach…(possibly not in these shoes).
Okay enough from us……here are a few photos we snapped up for you…
Who is Tracey Neuls?
Well if you are not familiar with our European shoe designer who has been going strong with her two main lines, Tracey Neuls and TN29 successfully for nine years now.
She has won numerous awards, such as the Royal Society of Arts, due to her innovative, sculptural designs which never follow trends and always focus on comfort, detailing, quality and an utter timelessness.
We have ordered a limited size range, so if any of these styles look like you, now is the time to claim them and walk out of our store with a treat for your feet!

3. Trust us enough to allow us to style them and suggest new shapes, colours and looks to play around with
Here is what you have said to us lately, and we thank you so much for taking the time to tell us.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to compliment you on the standard of service, staff and clothing you have.
Yesterday was my first trip into Taylor and Jade was fantastic. She was honest about what would best suit my ‘not size 12′ figure. What I was expecting to be an experience of shopping where I came home disappointed…well, instead I was thrilled to be styled and I love the outfit that I chose.
Victoria – I have to say the two dresses I have just bought are amazing.
I have felt so special in both, particularly the “slippery” one!! It is absolutely fantastic – I don’t know that I have ever felt quite as amazing in anything before!!(I hope you know the one I mean!)
This one particularly has received lovely flattering comments from everyone I met.
The Silky georgette one will too – I just didn’t meet so many people the day I wore it!!
So thank you and well done!! I really look forward to shopping at Taylor more and more….
Yes I do also love a bargain – (so I will add my txt!!) always interested in something that is a little different..edgy… out there –
