Lady Love: Allie and Gail Rees of Raw Nova

Raw Nova is a new concept store full of all things edgy, stylish and fresh. It is the brainchild of aunt – niece duo, creative powerhouse Allie and Gail Rees. The store is a bright and wondrous showcase of their favourite designers, clothing ranges and carefully selected lifestyle and home products. They represent over 30 brands which includes Stolen Girlfriends Club, Ksubi, PIA boutique, Maurie & Eve, Style stalker, Friend of mine, Finders Keepers, Evie Kemp, D.L & Co and of course SABEN!!! 10151947_755757614485249_9096903973222231348_n The store style has an effortless confidence, exuded by both the ladies. Their edit resonates with what they love and would wear themselves. We steal five minutes of their time to talk shop and style.
