The show room is on its way...

So much has happened in 2010 already... We had plans we are conquering them! :)

The website is well underway - so now it was time to work on the showroom... Finally everything has been moved out of my twitsy wintsy unit and into a BIG area at the bigtop, Maroochydore... BUT we still have so much more work to do..

Girls doing reno's with a bit of help from Dad :) - Girl power or just plain madness? Its defiantly madness - I have always thought I was a bit crazy :) -

So we have painted the floor, put shelves up to control the stock, painted the racks silver, painted the counter silver...still have lots more to do - but check out what we have done so far...






OK OK I know it a mess at the moment - but I promise you its going to be great :) & it also means that people can now come visit us... Even though the area is HUGE - we still dont have enough area to display all our stock - BUT we might put a comfy lounge in and a LOOKBOOK mag - so you can have a looksies at everything... (If you like, we can even give you a cup of hot english TEA)

Anyway I have been doing manual work all day - so night night and sweet dreams. See you tomorrow :)

Hello, it Coco here signing in to have a little blog...



Exciting news! (which will also mean working a little bit harder for a bit) we are moving out of my little unit and into a HUGE shop... That means I will have a home back yeah! So i think it's safe to say for the sake of my mental well being, its about time:) Like every week we have been working really hard... but the last couple of months have been working on background stuff like.... THE NEW WEBSITE! MARKETING CAMPAIGNS, ORGANISING THE SHOP, and oh so much more.. Soooooooo there hasnt been a lot for our loyal customer to witness, but oh my gosh are they going to be flooded soon with what they are about to see!


Like usual there have been a few mishaps this week that have been there to test me!..
The top 3...
1) Working 3 hours on Photoshop only to loose all my work...
2) Packing all my orders to go to the post for about 3 hours.. only to find that I have made a mistake and having to go through all the order again for about another 3 hours to fix it!
3) After fixing the post problem... Take them down to the post office only to discover I left my purse at home!

After saying that - you always have to look at the positives in life so here are the top 3 things that made me smile this week... (photo's include) Hope you get a kick out of too xoxo
1) The modelling shoot with my daughter and niece. They are 11 & 13 - and after seeing out shoots for the last few years they are itching to get in the photo's - and we are itching for them to do them.. (maybe a couple of more years to go..



2) Shelby's (the girl in the red above) 13th Birthday cake (not the official one) - we had no candles so we used twisties :)




3) The grince - can you spot it?



Anyway guys have a great weekend.. off to have a hot English tea on my balcony. Then off to the plaza to buy my friends birthday pressie... xoxo until next week..

summer & coco

The idea of xoxo was born on a hot summer evening, drinking a coconut shake in a coconut shell, under a coconut tree at Patong beach thailand, around June 2007. The formula for this creation? A hustling buzzing atmosphere, the obvious coconut drink, coupled with a setting Thailand sun and good company. It was and optimistic evening throwing around some ideas of hopes and dreams was the catalyst for what was to be known as Summer of Coconuts xoxo, thanks in large part to lateral thinkers, and the hope of endless summers under a coconut tree on a beach...... and Yes looking good in awesome fashions.....

The seed was planted, and summer of coconuts xoxo and her coconuts shake are now in full swing after 3 years of research, scrutinisation and planning, blood and tears, happiness & joys. Focusing on quality garments at a price anyone can afford, Summer of Coconuts takes the hassle out of walking through the mall, going to every boutique, trying numerous outfit... Its all on the web for you - photographed in a real person xoxo (: no plastic maniquins here :)
