Irresistible Trends and Simplified Shopping, Season After Season

For women who have ever spent hours at the mall looking for the perfect outfit without avail or women who are simply too busy to update their closets with the season's best trends, Newport Beach fashionista Kim Beaudette is here to help.

As a representative for ready-to-wear clothing line Etcetera, Beaudette works as a wardrobe consultant, helping women save time and money with one-on-one wardrobe building sessions. Hosting trunk shows at her home with four seasonal collections, Beaudette transforms her family room into an upscale boutique and offers clients personal assistance while they shop a complete designer collection featuring up to 200 pieces of clothing.

I remove most of the furniture and put up grids to show off each Etcetera collection, says Beaudette. It is a very inviting and welcoming atmosphere for women to shop. My clients range from stay-at-home moms to full-time, professional women. They love shopping with me because each Etcetera collection includes fabulous clothes for work, weekends and special events.

For over 28 years, Etcetera ” a division of The Connaught Group and leader in direct sales fashion for women ” has maintained its reputation for creating clothing held to couture-level design standards. In 2000, Etcetera was introduced as Connaught's chic, everyday lifestyle brand for women on the go. Season after season, Etcetera has allowed women to ditch the mall and its lines at the cash register, and comfortably rely on a clothing line that offers personalized, luxurious styling. And going to a personal stylist has its perks, including flexible shopping times, home delivery of clothes and never buying styles from a previous season.

Etcetera also keeps records of all client purchases, including fabric swatches, so that women can build onto their wardrobes each season. I offer my clients superior personal service and, most importantly, a fun shopping experience, says Beaudette. Etcetera is fashionable yet timeless, with exquisite quality and attention to detail.

Etcetera's summer clothing and accessories collection includes hot trends like minimalism, asymmetrical details, stripes, zipper trims, '70s-inspired looks and many bold colors. Much of the collection sells for $150 to $200, and comes in sizes 0 to 16 for dresses, pants, shorts, skirts and blouses and XS to XL for tops and sweaters.

According to Beaudette, Etcetera is a very versatile clothing line, with both youthful and classic looks. Our designers design for most shapes and sizes, she says. It is amazing to see how our line fits so many different lifestyles. With similar styling and quality as clothes from Newbury Street boutiques and stores like Neiman Marcus, a woman can complete her wardrobe effortlessly, from a day-to-day classy look to a sophisticated outfit for an important business meeting.

To get a hold of the season's hottest trends in a one-on-one shopping experience, view Etcetera's summer collection, showcased in Beaudette's home from May 5 to 12.
