The Very Moorish Christmas Shortbread Recipe

... served in the San Nizet studio from a family recipe.

As always before Christmas I hunt for a lovely family shortbread recipe that I can make to serve in the studio with a glass of bubbly or a cup of tea when clients pop in to make some purchases or just say Merry Christmas! I have anticipated request for the recipe by publishing it in this blog so everyone can enjoy it. I think this is better than even last year and as usual I can't help adding things to the basic recipe like a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla bean extract or sprinkle flaked almonds over the top or a combination of dried cranberries and white choc bits because children are visiting and I know they love this.


So ENJOY and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year break !
  • 125g Butter
  • 60g icing sugar
  • 60g cornflour
  • 125g plain flour
  • pinch of salt

Cream butter in the mixmaster with icing sugar (and here I add that 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste). Add all of the other ingredients and should end up as a soft dough. Add a tiny more flour if it feels a bit sticky .
Press into a greased 18cm biscuit tray. I usually then make a pattern with a fork dusted in flour. Cook in a moderate oven (170 to 180 degrees) for 30 mins or until it is golden brown. Don't wander away for too long to check your email etc because it colours quickly and will burn easily. Hints ... I usually cut it into lengths down and across while it is still warm. I always double the ingredients because it stores beautifully ... only ever lasts for a few days ~ its so moorish.

Wishing everyone the BEST for 2012 from San Nizet

As 2011 is coming to a close seemingly very rapidly, it is time to look forward with some very innovative ideas brewing especially to expand the San Nizet accessories line with some very exciting and useful designs.
The linen/silk sunglasses range released just before Christmas in the studio proved to be very popular and they never did get to be posted on the Limited Editions Gallery because the small trial range has nearly sold out.
The padded sunglass case for big sunglasses seemed to be the most popular, because to find this size in a softcase is difficult and also the satin lining allows the glasses to easily be slipped in and out, as everyone is on the run. I must admit I had to get into the habit of putting the glasses into a case instead of just throwing them in my bag, and so worth it, knowing that I would get a bit more wear out of my Ralph Lauren sunglasses that I have got so attached to! Can't think of the day, they would become disposable because I didnt take a little more care.

A bonus with the smaller sunglass and reading glasses case is that I can actually find them now! I have a pair for each of the areas of the studio and my home where I tend to read, and when they are in the case I can spot them easily. Next year I am going to make all of my cases to match the decor of my home but then thats me ~ hugely into interior design as well as fashion design.
With the shown photo, I have given you a peak at the little cutie case which is in fact a phone case. That was designed around my own needs when I got a new iPhone and even though I had the backing case, I felt it was still prone to getting scratched in my bag, since I carry every conceivable thing I "might just need''. Those who saw it loved it, so it will be definitely on the agenda next year. If you would like to have a browse and check out my other photos of sunglass and reading glasses designs, it can be found on my business facebook page ... San Nizet fashion Sunshine Coast.
Looking into gorgeous, unique, cultural vintage fabric as well, for those who just love this look ... because of the uniqueness, history and limited edition quality.

The San Nizet Studio will reopen January the 23rd ... Ready for a wonderful and innovative 2012.

If you haven't seen my latest blog post on my website www.sannizet.com.au , thought you would be interested in the topic as well as "The Latest Happenings" in my fashion world of San Nizet.


What's Been Happening Of Late

Great to now have a sought after membership with the global networking Stanford's Who's Who based in New York and looking forward to seeing my profile published in the next Who's Who Black Book.

 

Limited Edition Gallery

Not only has the Limited Edition Gallery become popular with friends sending other friends and family members gorgeous accessories but the Corporate world seem to have a need as well to give their female valued staff members a fashion accessory that is interesting, useful & thoughtful, especially when end of year and Christmas gift searching is coming up.

Can you Help?

Do you know someone who you think would like to be aware of this San Nizet Accessory gift service? Would appreciate your time forwarding this email or website details to them. There are three new fashion lines that are in production on the sunny coast at the moment and will let you know when they are released to my clients and public.

Refer a Friend

 

Some of my clients even suggested they would forward the Limited Editions Gallery site to their partners to give them an idea of what they would like in their Christmas box. Also lest we forget its .. AFFORDABLE QUALITY.

 

 

Traditionally a beautiful gift

San Nizet Blog Post 13th October

A Yen to be a Designer for a Day? San Nizet can help you!

See the latest San Nizet WiTH ATTiTUDE 11/12 Collection, launched on the sunny coast of Queensland and all Australian made.

Featuring the versatile Swing Sleeve Black Top that YOU can take part in designing to match Your colours in Your wardrobe. Some of my clients work closely with colour stylists as I often do as a fashion stylist, and some of these clients have a yearning to try their colour creativity with some of my styles and fabrics. So as a designer I try to accommodate their diverse needs. With this in mind I am happy to change the coloured trim features which are the light net fabric & grosgrain ribbon of the Swing Sleeve Top to a colour that suits your needs and at NO EXTRA COST to you.

For example ... Purple or teal or hot pink would look amazing as a trim for the tribal black & white print sleeve. The options are not as prevalent for the tribal royal blue /white & grey combo but we can certainly work on something together.  

An exciting option is also to substitute the Rose Print that filters through the collection in either colour combination ... there is a choice of two ... and use it as a swing sleeve. See the Rose Print fabric throughout the Limited Edition Gallery. So have a little fun ... and it IS fun, use your creativity and be a designer for the day ... with my guidance and help. 

As always

       

 

Designer Tips

What's so good about the Swing Sleeve Black Top?

  • Black slimming base
  • Just flows over those hips and sleeve coverage for those arms
  • Retro into a vintage feel which is different but not too out there
  • Great tucked in or styled with a chain hip belt
  • Versatile with jeans or a dressier look
  • Wash gently, hang on hanger, dry & go
  • Travel friendly

Who do you want to be for the day? The fashion you slip on can bring confidence, can change the way you feel and keep you focused.

Step out that door with a smile on your face - let the cameras roll and visualise your script for that day, because tomorrow you may have a different script, may want to dress differently, but still ... WiTH ATTiTUDE.
This collection WiTH ATTiTUDE will be showcased at The Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival on the 2nd of September with my Travelling Rose. The collection can be seen after that date on the website, but have two glimpses for you here. This collection will evolve through spring into summer with new designs added every few weeks, so always something new to select from and buy directly from the studio.


My feathered brooch was a huge hit, but everyone wanted the wrap I knitted years ago!

San Nizet Creates so you can give others joy...

You can be informed of the latest trends in fashion by reading the regular blogs that appear now on the home page of the website sourced through news streams and the many resources available to me everyday.

San Nizet loves giving and having a bit of fun so sometimes runs mini competitions and gives great gifts often made by the designer herself. See the latest one!

Step into fashion, imagine and believe in possibility ... Like the Business facebook page, San Nizet Fashion Sunshine Coast ... where you will find snippets of latest fashion talk from the studio and elsewhere.

Keep the cameras rolling...
 

... a little bit about me? After I decided to embrace technology more and read novels less, I have realised that I am enjoying the writing aspect of my work, so I am more into regular blogging and posting on my business facebook and passing onto my wonderful clients any interesting fashion talk. Apart from that still love going to women events and sharing, coffeeing (love my job researching all the latest mags whilst I am sipping coffee in the sun), looking forward to my MUM's 80th birthday celebrations and doing much more beach walking.


Remember, you are THE Star!

San Nizet Collections ~ Changing, Evolving

Sandra Nizette - Tuesday, April 12, 2011
San Nizet Collections ~ Changing, Evolving, Surprising & Effortlessly Chic AND all can be ordered now.

The Travelling Rose Collection is my latest, with an exciting concept. To quote from one of the buyers at Sydney Fashion Exposed who described it as a thinking, intelligent collection. My thoughts are that I am listening to my client's needs as well as being true to the San Nizet style-classical, wearable, a little different and quirky, quality at a competitive price and Australian Made.

The collection caters for the changeable climates and needs of my clients who travel globally as well as those travelling interstate in this vast country of Australia where the temperatures often differ vastly and where the power of layering comes to play.

As an example: the sleeveless tops with brightly coloured overlay looks amazing under a heavier jacket or jumper and is comfortable without the bulk. Have a browse through my other stylist tips in the catalogue and enjoy the travel pictures. Forward onto others who love fashion too!
Always great to hear from you,

Sydney here I come

Sandra Nizette - Thursday, March 03, 2011

Well, the time has finally arrived and tomorrow I will be flying down to Sydney with a team of seriously fabulous Sunshine Coast fashion designers to represent our region at Sydney Fashion Exposed.

Talk about a busy and productive lead up to the event - I have been buzzing around making sure I have everything I need to launch my new Travelling Rose Collection. Let me tell you, just like Jenny in the pic, I will be raising a glass (with wine not water) and breathing a huge sigh of relief the minute I get settled in Sydney.

My new Travelling Rose Collection is feminine, practical and comfortable, but more than that, they are 'smart garments'. I have included design features that incorporate personal safety and security  to provide more peace of mind when travelling. These features include nifty pocket attachments, secret compartments, fobs and loads of quirky hidden features that ensure your valuables stay that way...What did I tell you?... this is a range that is really smarter than the average garment.

Of course, the added bonus is that I have chosen beautiful, breathable, quality fabrics, to create these savvy and unique designs.This comprehensive travelling wardrobe combines casual, practical, comfortable daywear with added glamour pieces that will transform them for  functions, dinners and evening wear.

I have put a sneak peak of the collection on my home page www.sannizet.com.au,  but when I get back from Fashion Exposed I will be ready to reveal these little beauties to you gorgeous people. Make sure you get in early to be the first with a classic Travelling Rose 'smart garment'!

I am taking bookings now via email for private and group viewings of the Travelling Rose Collection at my studio after the 10th of March, so don't miss out.
Email me a suggested date and time at sandra@sannizet.com.au and I will get back to you as soon as I can.


Wish me luck! See you next week.

San Nizet's New Latin Rose Collection


 Dear,

I have had the most incredible couple of weeks! Firstly, I was ecstatic to launch my new Latin Rose Collection at the Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival to much positive feedback and then we had a great Fashion Lunch at Sirocco Restaurant which was just fantastic!

My new Cargo Pants were definitely received with much enthusiasm!
  • These versatile pants come in two styles -
  • Cuffed Long Pants and Cuffed Shorts
  • Available in classic black and white.
  • Made from a breathable blend of Cotton, Nylon and Spandex to guarantee a perfect fit Easy wash and wear fabric is perfect for Summer.
  • The Satin Cuff feature gives you the option to roll up or down to change from a casual to glam look.
  • Other features include the drawstring waist for comfort, the Satin Tabs at the waist and a handy side pocket.
The new Cargo Pants and Shorts will be the only 'bottoms' you will need this summer to mix and match with any top you choose! So versatile, so comfortable and a steal at only $149 for the Long Cargo Pants and $139 for the Short Cargo Pants.

The good news is that you can also now buy them online and the first 10 people to purchase will receive a stylish San Nizet long satin tie that you can use in so many ways!

Thanks also to the wonderful models (pictured here with me in the middle from left to right) Brooke, Lois, Jennifer and Giselle who looked amazing in the new Latin Rose Collection.

The Models who wore the Long  Cargo shorts and Cargo pants at the parades all commented on how comfortable to wear and what a great fit they were. They said they could  wear them practically anywhere!

Race in for San Nizet Silks!

Sandra Nizette - Thursday, November 04, 2010
 

www.sannizet.com.au 

Dear 

These stunning San Nizet outfits are ready to race!

Here it is racing season again! Have you got your ultimate outfit yet? Good news - if you haven't, then I have some wonderful outfits just ready and waiting to jump out of
the gates!

The fashion story this year is ultra-feminine with a winning combination of lady-like style with frills, flounces, sheers and prints. My ready to wear outfits are right on track. I have blended my tops and skirts to give you a stylish solution that will take you from Cup Day to end of year functions with ease. Wear them together and team with a hat or fascinator for the racing season, or mix and match them to achieve effortless elegance for the rest of the festive season and perfect also for a wedding or formal occasion.

Head Turners

San Nizet does all the eye-catching styling for you - by adding all your accessories in one package. Buy one of these special "ready to race" packages this week and SAVE! Apart from the dress pictured at right the winning combinations are styled so they look like a dress but are in fact two stylish, practical pieces that can be dressed up or down after the event. These floaty, flounced, fabulous pieces are so fabulously practical and the tops and skirts can be mixed and matched with the rest of your wardrobe!

See the complete story by clicking here. One click may be all you need to be a contender for this year's fashions on the field!

 Sandra's Top Tips

Remember the key to dressing for these events is to feel fabulous and comfortable at all times - it's the same with shoes too...It is not a good look to have a pained expression that says "these heels are killing me"...you are meant to enjoy yourself!
I know from experience that before you leave home, you should make sure you have all the essentials, inner soles, corn pads and any other comfort aids on your feet or in your shoulder bag. You can also bring a spare pair of shoes along just in case for a quick change if need be.

If it is a stand up event, have a bag that sits comfortably on the shoulder that allows you to have both hands free to juggle the canapes, champers and of course, the winning ticket!

 Just to top it all off!

This year I have really used my head and have a whole range of beautiful Chartreuse hand-made headwear ready to go!

All of these fabulous hats, fancy head-bands and fascinators are one off original designs and so affordable! The range I have in the studio are all colour co-ordinated to match my range of racing silk outfits, however, as an added service I will help you find the perfect head wear for your own outfit as well. Either visit me in the studio or send me a photo and I will send you back some photographs with suggestions for your crowning glory.

Email me - sandra@sannizet.com.au

Open Day at San Nizet Studio

Come to my studio for a fun day of fashion play...Opened on a Saturday for your convenience...the 13th of November....9.30 till 2.00 ..another invite will go out, but if you are interested, let me know the time you are thinking of coming and number of friends you are likely to bring so I can plan something special just for you!

September Newsletter

Dear,

The Politics of Style

No matter your political disposition, you must agree that our PM, Julia Gillard is certainly giving the camisole under her jacket a great workout! I swear she was wearing one of my San Nizet great little shimmery, luxe satin camis during one of her appearances.

These versatile camisoles are so easy to wear during spring. They are great on their own when it's warmer, but then just add a cardy or a jacket when the evening cools down. Too easy!

All she needs is one of my San Nizet loop scarfs to help her accessories! Talk about an easy to use, stylish accessory. Available in a range of colours, you can use one of these to dress up practically anything.

Both the cami and loop scarf are now available online - click on the image below and you can check out the colours and styles!
