Italians Do it Better

Leon Kammer asked:


Tourists flock to Italy from all over the world; in love with the history, the food, the culture and the fashion, not necessarily in that order, depending on individual taste.

We know that when it comes to fashion and style or “bella figura” as the Italians like to call it, translated it means a good image and Italy can certainly boast designers like Armani, Versace,Dolce Gabbana,Gucci, Prada,just to name a few,not forgetting the famous shoe brands,like Ferragamo,Tods,Magli,where the Italians excel,both in style and craftsmanship,you can’t beat Italian shoe wear; that’s why you’ll find Italian clothing and shoes a major export to every corner of the globe: brand names that have become a household word,wherever you go.

For the Italian, particularly in Rome, on an everyday basis, style comes naturally and not something that’s talked about too much, it’s just the way it is; well dressed to the Italian  means dressing correctly for the occasion,which means a big no to the jogging suit being worn in the street, something that has become totally acceptable to the rest of the world.

For the Roman,however,whether a secretary,a regular working person or a professional it’s all about style and presence; as the day begins,decked out from head to foot.

The only place you’ll see a jogging suit is in the gym and even there,the code is to arrive in style and leave in style, never missing a beat. They know how to wear and strutt their stuff with a minimum of fuss; it seems to come naturally,the jacket, the scarf, the hair, the boots, the handbag, accessorized perfectly stating, “I have arrived”

Even the female cop directing the traffic in Rome’s Piazza Venezia looks like a ex supermodel,in full makeup and long blond hair flowing out from under her cap.

Where did all this style originate from: perhaps it’s the almost three thousand  years of history, influenced by the Emperors who entered the Senates with such pride receiving overwhelming crowd recognition or the Roman soldiers in their splendid gold suited armor and head wear, proud to be part of the Roman Empire.

So is the rest of the world too casual? Have countries like America, Australia or England taken “casual Friday” or the “track suit” too far?

What created that kind acceptability in these countries and why would people NOT want to look their best, when to the Italians it’s not even a question.”It’s not important”, you might say, but let’s face it,they look better.

But how can they afford to dress that way, you may ask? It’s not about money, it’s about taste and having a good eye. Firstly however you need to care how you present

The truth is that brands like Armani, Prada, Gucci, Cavalli are not what the Italians buy; these are for the tourists in the landmark fashion strip of Rome’s  Via Condotti, which runs from the Spanish Steps right to the main street of Via Del Corso and it’s there where you’ll find every flagship designer store and opulant jewelery from Bulgari to Cartier, tourists lining up from Japan to Russia, walking out with huge bags of the latest fashion goodies,excited to wear the latest look from the house of Vercasi back home.”do I look Italian”

The Romans are not the clients that visit Via Condotti.They are not concerned with name brands and they don’t own an abundance of clothes.

What they own is a few good pieces, not necessarily expensive; affordable and elegant, and they know how to put it all together, with the right accessories being the foremost important items, usually purchased outside the historic center in shopping strips where style and quality can be purchased at a fraction of the prices paid in the center.

Also there are many outlet shops that sell end of season high quality merchandise for far less than you would expect to pay in town and the truth is that these shopping malls and shopping strips are usually just thirty to forty five minutes away like Colle Di Rienzo in Rome, a street full of stores, running from Piazza Del Popolo to the Vatican in Rome, just minutes on foot from the center, or the Castel Romano Outlet where you’ll find most labels at half price; thirty minutes by car, from the center of Rome.

So before you embark on a fashion shopping spree, find out about the Malls,the Outlets and where the people go.

You may just find the item that will may you look good for less and join the “bella figura” set.

While your in Italy, maybe in Rome or Florence being thrifty with your fashion purchases, you might also consider the type of Italian accommodation you’ll choose.

Italian apartment accommodation seems to be the new way in Europe where the hotels can become very costly; after all what you save on accommodation in Italy may just leave you some extra for that new jacket.



A New Affordable Jewellery shopping experience for the fashion-conscious

Susan Salkeld asked:


Jewellery Shop Online is a flourishing Irish-based costume and designer jewellery store. As the name suggests, the difference here to the usual pricey High Street jewellery shops is that all their elegant goods can be viewed via the internet from the comfort of your own home. The website is highly appealing with a very professional and modern layout. The business was set up and developed by Susan Salkeld, who has a keen interest in ladies fashions. The online jewellery store is based in Dublin but delivers to all of Ireland, as well as catering for regular customers across Europe and even farther afield.

Susan explains the concept and philosophy behind her growing venture, “Having often purchased designer clothes and footwear myself from worldwide internet shops, I realised that the necessary accessories were not so readily available online. I found this odd because items such as costume jewellery and bags are not as bulky as clothing and shoes [for delivery] which now sell extremely well over the internet. After chatting with a few jewellery designers, I decided that I could provide a service to introduce and supply beautiful, modern pieces of jewellery which compliment today’s fashions.”

“At Jewellery Shop Online we want to bring variety, colour and glamour to the jewellery accessory market. There’s a real wow-factor about most of the items we offer, especially when actually seen and handled. But we also hope our affordable prices bring an extra smile when the buyer realises how much cash they’ve saved by browsing around our shop.”

Susan personally vetted high-quality suppliers from around the globe and then selected the extensive range of stunning products on display. Notable collections include:

Krystal London -Krystal are recognised as the leading designers and manufacturers of exquisite designer jewellery using only the highest grade Swarovski Crystals. They are universally renowned for their high quality pieces and attention to detail. Huge dangling chandelier earrings, crystal shower necklaces and cuffs are just some of the pieces you can view in this collection. Everything in Krystal’s display is designed by Kish Vasa who has over 20 years of experience, thus guaranteeing exceptional and unique designs.

Lola Rose – In their section, you find examples of some of the most beautiful semi-precious jewellery on offer today. You will be dazzled by creations in an array of stunning and unusual colours. Susan has called upon the services of Lola Rose’s leading modern jewellery creator, the highly-talented Nicola Gewirtz, to offer pieces which catch the eye with great effect.

The Silver Collection – For fans of silver jewellery, Susan has hand-picked a great range of desirable items which will “set off” your outfit, regardless of the occasion. From beautiful dress rings and classical necklaces to stylish cuff bangles and bracelets, Jewellery Shop Online doesn’t disappoint in silverwear accessories. The website is proud to boast that all its silver goods are hallmarked after passing the most rigorous of inspections at The Assay Office in Dublin Castle.

Rhinestone Crystal Jewellery – For that special occasion, Susan’s e-commerce shop can provide those important finishing touches to a memorable outfit; sparkling rhinestone crystal chokers, co-ordinated earring & necklace sets, tiaras, etc. Some items have been selected with weddings in mind, but the more understated designs are perfect to add class and sophistication to evening and party wear.

Jewellery Shop Online has a fabulously large selection of general designs featuring semi-precious stones which originate from all corners of the world. In some cases, the ethnic origins of the pieces come to the fore, literally in their shape, weight and highly attractive but rare colours. Other creations follow more traditional, antique styles but here the nicest surprise comes by way of their pricing which would suit anyone’s pocket even in these hard times.

Susan knows that fashion-conscious women must spend their hard earned money wisely. As she points out, “We have done thorough research regarding our jewellery pricing structure and our aim is to offer the lowest possible prices for all our jewellery lines. Our designer jewellery is on average 15% lower than anything like its equivalent in trendy department stores in Ireland. Our prices start as low as €8; in fact most of our stock cost less than €100 per item and we don’t retail anything valued over €300. We wanted to offer our customers something different that was affordable, so that we ladies can occasionally spoil ourselves without feeling guilty.”

The beauty about buying online apart from the obvious – trying to find time in our busy lives to take a day out to walk around various shops, sitting in traffic jams, parking problems, queuing at tills, etc – is that the prices are often much less than buying in the High Street shops. Susan confirms that this is mainly due to the online retailer not having to pay rent on display premises, and the  saving in overheads is then passed on to the customer. Many people these days prefer to do their shopping via a convenient laptop or PC, and then have the ordered items delivered right to their front door. Susan sees no reason why shopping for good quality jewellery cannot follow this increasing trend.

Jewellery Shop Online imports its stocklist from countries all over the world. By doing so, they capture many exotic and gorgeous styles influenced by the different cultures they trade with. Susan hopes to bring both quality and variety to Irishwomen, and we cannot argue with her aspirations in the costume jewellery field. Already she is able to boast, “Currently we have two major designers on board but I’m hoping to have another three by the end of the year. It’s important to change stock and styles on a seasonal basis.”

‘Customer-care’ is also another of Susan’s buzzwords. She knows through her own online shopping experiences that the development of trust and good relationships with apparently faceless retailers is vital. “We always make sure we respond to any queries as quickly and efficiently as possible”, she remarks. “We also encourage feedback or requests – if a customer would like to see more items of a particular design or they are looking for a very special item of jewellery, then we will try our utmost to accommodate them”.

When asked to sum up why she seems to have limitless enthusiasm for her business, Susan answers effortlessly, hardly pausing for breath. “Since an early age I have always had a passion for beautiful jewellery whether it is fashion, costume or designer. I am realising my dream of supplying beautiful jewellery to ladies everywhere at prices they can afford. It makes my job such a pleasure. Jewellery is glamorous and fun – as it should be.”
