Discover the many facets of Up-Style Me
Up-Style Me Boutique in Swannanoa, North Canterbury, has not just one, but three tempting shops! The first is devoted to quality, new and pre-loved Fashion and Accessories. Next door is the Silk Flower shop, with beautiful (new) Silk Flower bouquets, and vases. The third shop is a treasure trove of pre-loved and new Homeware.
But wait, there’s more: set amongst the lifestyle property’s gorgeous garden, is the French-themed Beauty Cottage, for deliciously relaxing beauty treatments.
The Up-Style Me shops are open Monday to Friday 10am to 4.30pm and Saturday 10am to 3pm. It’s a lovely drive out to Up-Style Me Boutique on North Eyre Road, but you can also shop online from the comfort of home.

Silk Flowers
Vases & Silk Flowers
Our everlasting, high quality silk flowers can be sold as single stems to take home, or Up-Style Me has pre-made bouquets and arrangements complete with basket or vase. We also make to order and you have the option of using your own vase for this, if you wish.
The lovely bouquets and arrangements are created by talented Up-Style Me Assistant Manager, Sharon Dickie, who is a qualified, professional Florist. Sharon is also more than happy to provide advice about floral arranging, if you buy silk flowers to arrange yourself.
To complement the silk flowers (or your own flowers), Up-Style Me has a collection of gorgeous new vases and containers – from French country-style, to contemporary.
The Beauty Cottage
A pathway amongst the Cherry trees, leads you to the Beauty Cottage – where our beauty therapist can pamper you with beauty treatments, relaxation massages, and a range of eyebrow and eyelash services.
The Beauty Cottage has a chic French-themed décor, in a palette of pastel pinks, black and white … And the tranquil garden setting adds to the feeling of calm and relaxation.
