Style 8 World

Welcome to Style 8 World Blog, my new pet project. My name is Mary Ann Reyes, soon to be Mary Ann Haywood from Melbourne, Australia - Founder of Style 8 Enterprises Pty Ltd and Style8shop.com.au - Home of Essential Fashion Accessories for Fashionistas. That's right! Soon-to-be Mrs Haywood, as I will be marrying my partner of 7 years, Benjamin Haywood. On Friday 8 May, 2009 we will be married in Tuscany, Italy - sharing our most special occasion with 23 of our close family and friends at Villa la Noce, located in the area of Montaione which is located close to Siena and San Gimignano. I had my final dress fitting yesterday with my Friend and Enormously Talented Fashion Designer, Hannii Chan. I have known Hannii for over 9 years and continues to be at the forefront of Women's Contemporary Formal Fashion Design. Checkout some of her amazing creations at www.hannii.com.au. My wedding dress will be kept a secret until after the nuptials. I will be happy to post photos of my special day after my honeymoon which will also be in Italy down the Amalfi Coast to Positano, Sorrento and Capri and then heading up to Lake Como and Maggiore, through to Switzerland and then Germany. I am so very excited about my Wedding Day, which has been planned for the past 2 years after our trip to Pisa when Ben had proposed in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Quite romantic and memorable as you can imagine!

Much has happened in the last 12 months, with Style 8 being established, with our key products 'Hang-bag' - genuine leather purse hooks/holders designed in Switzerland, becoming our licensed product which we now manufacture and distribute globally, as well as representing 'Laifu' products from Asia, which produces a number of very stylish and innovative products such as Automatic Business Card holders and Automatic Cigarette dispensers/holders. Style 8 by no means promotes smoking, as we believe it is up to each individual to make the decision to quit for themselves, but if you make that lifestyle choice, then why not have a stylish accessory that goes with it? All of our products can be purchased at www.style8shop.com.au. We Ship Globally. We also welcome International and National Wholesale orders from any of our range.

The main motivation for me when starting up Style 8, is to bring the latest stylish and innovative Fashion Accessories to the Australian Market. I am now pleased to announce that Style 8 is no longer limited to promoting these amazing products to the Southern hemisphere, but The Globe!

Stay tuned for my update regarding my recent Business Trip to China and Hong Kong. Let's call the China part 'Lost in translation'. I love Hong Kong. It's my second home, besides Bella Italia:)

Arrivederci Fashionistas.
