All things Summer photoshoot!

How exciting it is to see the change of seasons approaching after a long, cold winter!   .... and it took getting away to a "warmer location" for us Central-West-team to get a glimpse of that sunshine that we've been longing to see, and know it's not far away now!!  (yay!)

We're gearing up for the launch of our exciting, colourful Summer Collection here at head office - with our Easy Living and Audrey Avenue samples having arrived a couple of weeks ago. New season styles are already arriving into stores, with MANY more to come. We're looking at another huge range this season, which is great to see. Our regional customers are so spoilt for choice - I don't think many of you realise just how many of your city counterparts envy you!!  (I often hear it on the phone with our city customers who often ask when we'll open in the cities!! ... sorry to say, there's no plans for that..!!).

But back to our fabulous new photoshoot!  With cameras in hand, I hit the beach with our stylist Chris, and met up with our local model at CAVES BEACH, just outside Newcastle. It's one of my favourite spots, and was such a treat to spend the day in the sunshine shooting at this stunning location!

Our theme this season is a fun little "boho" take, with lots of florals and weekend looks, that work beautifully with our huge leisure and comfort range this season. We were lucky to have access to the most fabulous bright orange Combi van, fully decked out in paisley interior and beach cushions!  This worked a treat for our "boho traveler" who was off to the beach for the day, guitar in hand and sight-seeing on the rocks!

Below are a few scenery and photoshoot happy snaps, and a few 'sneak peeks' of our final images.  Keep an eye out over the course of the season for all the gorgeous shots in our windows, store posters and of course, emails and social media!

We  hope you love the photos as much as we do!   Here's to a bright, fun, and happy Summer ahead!!

Frankie 4 & Rollie have hit Easy Living by storm!!

Have you heard about the Aussie brands taking us by storm?!  We stock both the Frankie 4 and Rollie brands that are a social-media phenomenon, and we can barely keep them on the shelf!!!

Frankie 4 are designed by an Aussie Podiatrist and Physiotherapist.  Our customers are finding their superior comfort and custom-fit kits work a treat for all-day wear.  Our leisure styles in the Frankie 4 sell out every time they hit the shelf, and it's no wonder when they're this comfortable!!  They are functional, sleeker than a jogger, but offer comfort and support with great durability.  Bulk of the styles feature a removable innersole, making them orthotic-friendly.  The Frankie 4 winter range includes leisure wear, brogues and boots - check them out!!

Rollie are an innovative, Australian brand boasting super lightweight brogues and boots in a range of on-trend, fashionable designs that "travelers will love - they're lighter than two bananas!!".  These cool little lace-ups are proving popular in our stores. Jump online to see the funky designs!!

Bathurst RELAY FOR LIFE a success!!

 
A massive congratulations to our Bathurst store ladies for their efforts in the weekend's Relay for Life - lapping the oval in awareness and solidarity for those fighting Cancer, and all the friends and families who are and have been affected. 

It's a cause very close our our hearts, with all of us having family members or friends affected, with some currently fighting and some we have lost. 

Between online donations and a last-minute in-store raffle,
the girls raised a whopping $7,800!! 

Big thanks to all our sponsors and donations near and far!  Our suppliers and business houses who stepped up to help support the team. ... and all our customers who threw some dollars towards this amazing cause!

THANK YOU to the fashion shopping houses who came on board to donate vouchers for our raffle - Red Chair Boutique, Galleria, Gorgeousness, La Mode and Sheer Indulgence.  The $700 prize was well received, and a big success, and though only put together very last minute, still helped raise an additional $1,000!!! 

Logan and Katie

A big shout out to our Superstar young team member LOGAN - who raised $480 himself, and got right into the thick of the event!  

Big round of applause for his hard work on - we're all proud of him!!  


Some happy snaps below of the Bathurst girls and families enjoying the day.



Again, a huge thank you from ALL OF US for the support and well wishes we received. We loved it!!

Bathurst team in RELAY FOR LIFE 2018

The Bathurst Team need your help for
RELAY FOR LIFE 2018!

 
Very few people go through life without either having a family member or friend being touched by cancer.  

Over the past 2 years, four of our staff members of Easy Living Footwear Bathurst have experienced close family members being diagnosed with cancer, and one has lost a loved one to Leukemia at only 30 years old.


My niece Carly was first diagnosed with cervical cancer 4 years ago at the age of 32, with 3 children, her youngest being only 4 years old.  A radical hysterectomy was performed with the hope that all the cancer had been removed, but 2 years ago it returned.  She was given chemo plus a trial drug which cuts off the blood supply to the tumours.  This was successful for 10 months but in December 2017 the tumours had started to increase and grow, and she now has them in her lungs and stomach.  Another batch of chemo was given but it is not working so now she is on a very experimental immune trial through Monash in Melbourne that has only 63 participants in the world.  We have great hope that this trial will be successful as many immune therapies have worked miracles.

So much research is being done to find a cure for cancer, but it all takes money. 

 
For the above reasons, we have decided to enter a team in the Bathurst Relay For Life which is being held on March 10-11^th and would really appreciate it if you could sponsor our team.

This cause means so much to us all and even though you may not be from the Bathurst area, it all goes to cancer care and research throughout Australia.

All donations are a tax deduction, so why not show your support, and sponsor us in Relay for Life instead of giving it to the tax man!!!

Below is a link to take you to our Team Page -
http://fundraising.cancer.org.au/site/TR?team_id=59080&pg=team&fr_id=5285

This cause is really close to my heart and amazing progress is being done through cancer research. It seems more and more people are being affected, and it really can hit any one of us without notice.

I really would appreciate any donation you could give to our Relay for Life event, and we all thank you for your support and community efforts in helping fight back against this horrible disease.

For those attending the event next weekend, drop by the Easy Living Footwear team tent for a chat! We'd love to see you!!
