SHIPPING

ORDER PROCESSING

We require 2 to 3 business days from the date on which payment has been received to process your order and prepare it to be shipped. Shortly after we have processed your order, and it has been picked up by FedEx for shipping within the USA, or one of FedEx, UPS or DHL for international shipping, you will receive a tracking number by email. We recommend that you check your tracking number frequently so that you are made aware of the estimated delivery date as well as any delays, changes or updates that may occur during the shipping period. Please note that once your order has been picked up by the applicable courier and a tracking number has been provided to you, your order is no longer in our physical control, but that of the applicable courier. Once the applicable courier takes physical control of your order for the purpose of delivering it to you, we are neither the cause of, nor responsible for, any delays caused or encountered by such courier.

SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA

We offer the following shipping options within the United States of America:

(i) FREE STANDARD SHIPPING. Your order will be shipped free of charge via Fedex 2-day express shipping.

(ii) EXPEDITED SHIPPING. Expedited orders are shipped via Fedex next-day shipping at a flat rate of $35 per order.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

For international orders, shipping charges, customs fees and import duties and taxes ("International Shipping Costs") are calculated at the end of the checkout process and charged to you when you finalize your purchase. Simply add a product to your shopping bag, provide your full name and complete shipping address, and continue the checkout process. The International Shipping Costs will be displayed just before the order is ready to be finalized. If you require assistance with respect to the checkout process and/or international shipping costs, please call us at (866) 317-7779 or email us at support@auvere.com.

Notwithstanding any estimate, quote or calculation provided by us during the checkout process, please be advised that you bear full responsibility for any and all customs fees, import duties, taxes, or other local charges resulting from international shipping, including all such costs associated with any exchanges or returns. These charges are beyond our control as they are set by the customs authority of the destination country, and they depend on a number of factors, such as local VAT rates and local import taxes.

Once an international order has been processed and picked up by the applicable courier, and a tracking number has been provided to you, your order is no longer in our physical control, but that of the applicable courier. Once the applicable courier takes physical control of your order for the purpose of delivering it to you, we are neither the cause of, nor responsible for, any delays caused or encountered by such courier, including without limitation delays caused by customs, weather, technical difficulties or any other occurrence beyond the control of the courier.

INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY

We do not deliver to incomplete addresses, P.O. boxes, lockboxes, APO/FPO/DPO addresses, freight forwarding addresses, or locations where an adult signature cannot be obtained. In order to ensure prompt delivery of your order, please provide, during the checkout process, the first and last name of the intended recipient followed by a complete street address. If you place an order using a P. O. box, an APO/FPO/DPO address, a freight forwarding address or an incomplete name and/or address, a member of our Customer Support team will contact you via email in order to obtain the additional information required to complete delivery of your order.

If you realize that you will be unavailable on the date on which your order will be delivered, please contact us at (866) 317-7779 or support@auvere.com so that we may assist you in rescheduling the delivery of your order. FedEx generally makes 3 delivery attempts before returning your order to our fulfillment center. If your order is returned, you will be responsible for any additional shipping fees incurred to redeliver the same order to you.

It is important that you check your tracking number frequently, particularly if you live outside of the USA or if there is a specific date on or before which you must receive your order. By checking your tracking number regularly, you will be made aware of delays, changes or updates to the estimated delivery date of your order, including without limitation, delays caused by customs, weather, technical difficulties or any other occurrence beyond the control of the courier. If you encounter a delay in delivery, we are happy to assist you in tracking your order and determining the status of delivery. Please contact us at (866) 317-7779 or support@auvere.com for assistance. In certain instances, as determined by us in our sole discretion, we may contact the courier to see if we can obtain additional information regarding such delay, which information will be shared with you promptly. The foregoing notwithstanding, please note that once your order is picked up by the applicable courier to be delivered to you, your order is no longer in our physical control, and as such, we are neither the cause of, nor responsible for delays caused or encountered by such courier.

FASHION FORWARD

NATALIA ZEMLIAKOVA

AN ADVENTURE IN STYLE

We get to meet a lot of interesting people at Auvere. One of our favorites is fashion stylist, Natalia Zemliakova. Natalia is like many New Yorkers — from somewhere else. In her case, a small town deep in the heart of western Russia where she spent her childhood. It’s safe to say that the path from Votkinsk to New York is not a well trod one, but determination, passion and a smidge of good timing can create a road from anyplace to anywhere one wishes to go.

Natalia describes herself as an animal-loving introvert who prefers cats to most people. But to us, she presents as a woman (with a cat) who embraces adventure, lives life to the fullest, and has no problem taking risks. Case in point — after moving to, and living in, St. Petersburg for many years, first for university and thereafter as a dancer in a modern dance theater, Natalia decided she wanted to do something different. Totally different. She literally woke up one day, left dance, and became a stylist. Not long after that, she concluded that to take her styling game to the next level, she needed to live in a fashion capital. She promptly made her way to New York where she fell in love with the city’s “anything goes” attitude.

After spending time with Natalia, we realized that becoming a stylist wasn’t completely out of the blue. Natalia found joy in fashion and design as a little girl making pretty pink things for her dolls. Later on, Natalia’s love for the theater, music and art influenced her mercurial “minimalist/maximalist” approach to style. Nowadays she happily mixes all of her influences to create inventive and unusual mashups that are not only incredibly beautiful, but quite intriguing.

It’s always cool to peek into the closets of stylists and fashion mavens to see what they buy and how they style themselves — especially when it involves a pile-up of our high karat gold jewelry. So, keep scrolling and reading to learn more about Natalia and her approach to elegantly adventurous style.

LET’S CHAT

Home. Sweet. Home.
I grew up in a tiny little town deep in Russian that nobody in the United States has ever heard of. It’s called Votkinsk. It’s famous for being the birthplace of two extremely talented people — the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and me (just kidding).

School Daze.
I went to university in one of the most beautiful cities in Russia — St. Petersburg. I earned a degree in linguistics and intercultural communication at The Saint Petersburg University. To be honest, my studies haven’t really influenced my path. Everything I know about life I’ve learned through my passion for dance, theater, films and art.

The J.O.B.
When I lived in St. Petersburg, I worked as a dancer in a modern dance theater for about ten years. When I turned 33, I realized I was craving a drastic change in my career and out of nowhere, I just turned to styling. Eventually, fashion brought me to New York and I am so thankful to the universe for this move because I am now living in the best city in the world.

Sign Language.
I am Virgo with an ascendant in Scorpio. The typical description for my sign definitely matches my personality. Virgos are hardcore OCD and ultra-critical. The Virgo/Scorpio combo is all about “reading” the room. The Scorpio influence makes me very sensitive to energy.

WHAT IS YOUR FIRST FASHION MEMORY?

Making a lot of pink clothes for my Barbie for like half of my childhood. I am still very much in love with all shades of pink.

“ Everything I know about life I've learned through my passion for dance, theater, films and art.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB IN FASHION?

I’ve never really had a “job” in fashion. I’ve always created my own opportunities. I’ve been freelancing in fashion from the very start of my styling career and that freedom means a lot to me. It allows me to take only the projects that I want and to switch very quickly from one thing to another. Choosing the people with whom I work is of the highest priority. I love the flexibility of the lifestyle that I’ve built for myself.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO WARDROBE STYLING?

It came out of nowhere. I woke up one morning, ended my dance career, and decided to start styling. From there, I made opportunities happen for myself.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SETS YOU APART AS A STYLIST?

I draw most of my influences from dance, theater and the arts in general. So I am willing to experiment with color, volume and texture. While I definitely appreciate a minimalist aesthetic, I always fall for a bit of dramatic flair. I consider fashion design to be an art form so I treat styling as a form of art and beauty.

HOW DO YOU GET INSPIRED WHEN YOU ARE ASKED TO STYLE A SHOOT?

Movies are my biggest inspiration. My favorite directors are Lars Von Trier, David Lynch, the Coen brothers and Aki Kaurismaki. The sensual nature of Pina Bausch photography and her style in general reflect how I see things. I am also inspired by classical music — especially Handel, Bach and Chopin. All of this beauty combined with burlesque, circus, sequins and feathers are the things that form the foundation of my approach to styling.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE?

A. Designer

Dries Van Noten. His fragile sense of play with color, textures and prints is out of this world

B. Artist

Pina Bausch. She was a German dancer and choreographer who was a significant contributor to a neo-expressionist dance tradition now known as Tanztheater. Her way of seeing things makes me experience overwhelming emotions every time I watch her performances.

C. Photographer

Juergen Teller. His sense of humor is infectious.

D. Musician

Handel. He is the Pina Bausch of music for me!

WHAT 3 WORDS DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?

She’s. Got. Style.

HOW DOES JEWELRY FIT INTO YOUR DAILY WARDROBE?

I am nothing else but a rings girl. But I do love the idea of a stunning earring statement to elevate my look sometimes — especially when I go out.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF JEWELRY AND WHY?

One of my favorite pieces is a sphere ring made from recycled silver. It looks like a baby rattle. I love it a lot.

DO YOU TAKE FASHION RISKS? IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY?

Haha! We need to define “risk”. Rhinestones. Feathers. High heels. Too much pink. Too many prints. Weird volumes and shapes. I love and wear it all. But I am a huge fan of a good crispy white button down shirt and a classic pair of Levi's for an everyday look.

LET’S TALK ABOUT STYLE ICONS. WHOSE STYLE DO YOU ADMIRE AND WHY?

The Olsen sisters have been my style inspiration since I was little. I admire the way they mix modern and vintage. And The Row is incredible. Who else? Chloe Sevigny wears the coolest stuff possible. Her stylist is Haley Wollens and I am a huge fan of her work. Phoebe Philo. Suzanne Koller — everything she does and wears is super chic. Oh and I love Alessandro Michele and all he does for Gucci.

WHAT ARE YOUR FIVE GO-TO WARDROBE PIECES?

Statement shoes are a must
Cropped white jeans
Oversized shirt
Sunglasses
Ruby Woo by Mac for my lips

WHAT’S THE HARDEST WORKING PIECE OF CLOTHING IN YOUR WARDROBE RIGHT NOW?

My favorite tiny Chanel wallet-purse that I wear every day. I try to avoid wearing big bags.

ARE YOU A COLLECTOR OR A CURATOR OF FASHION?

I am both. I collect but I edit too. I like to keep my closet balanced.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE LOOK THAT YOU’VE STYLED AND WHY?

One of the first shoots I styled when I moved to New York was an editorial for Numero magazine. Both models are wearing Chanel and Traction sunglasses, which is my signature look. I framed this image as a memento. It was shot by one of my closest friends, Antonina Zharko.
