Christmas and New Year Opening

It's been a while, I know, but we have been so busy with all the brilliant pre-christmas clear out donations and making sure all our party frocks are looking great and ready to sell, and making the shop super festive.

We have changed the windows with more fab gowns and the like, and have a mini sale happening, so it has been super hectic. But we haven't forgotten you. More goodies on their way to be blogged to tempt you in in the new year.

Plus we will do a proper sale (up to 75% off! Can't go wrong with that! Fact.) in January.

BUSY BUSY!

After all the excitement of Christmas and the New Year starts, if you have a clear out or just want to get rid of some of those "What were they thinking" presents, bring them along to us while we are open and we will gladly take them. Don't forget to sign up to Gift Aid if you can!


We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Christmas Gown Windows

Still 8 days till Christmas and so time for more party wear and ballgowns in our festive window. Although not sure how many people go to balls now? But then I would love to wear one fo these down to the shops. Just pottering about Sainburys in something totally sparkling and poofy!

Now these are a bit more special, sumptuous silks, and hand beaded couture, hence we are showing them off to you, but as I said before, we have many many more in stock at the moment, although they are selling fast, so please do pop in to see our full selection of party/cocktail dresses and gowns.

BCBG and Gai Mattiolo outfits

Temperley and Joseph dresses

Joseph red silk wrap dress £36
Temperley White cocktail dress £80
Red Amanda Wakeley scarf/wrap £25
Gai Mattiolo Couture blush silk and beaded gown £200
BCBG MaxAzria red silk dress £40

I think the Gai Mattiolo has something of a 'Marilyn Monroe' look about it and think it is fab! You will definately turn a fair few heads wearing it!

Also in the window are Trinity Hospice Christmas cards, which we are getting down to our last few packs! These charity cards for Trinity are priced from £1.99 a pack of 15.

Party Dresses (with added glitter)

So this is Christmas, as the song goes, and what have you done? Although I think John Lennon was going for something a little deeper than making sure you have some decorations up, we have Xmas'd the shop ready for the coming weeks to put customers in a festive mood.

We have dug out all our party wear and ballgowns from the treasure trove in our back room, primped and pressed them and with some added feathers/sequins are trying to glam up the window.

Showing you the night view...

 From left to right - 
(Plunging dark green cocktail dress, just seen behind window dummy, £16)
Green ombre sequin dress £40 
Gold glitter Zara shoes £12 
Black Jaeger dress with neck detailing £40
Black ASOS heels £10  
Sequin bolero £4 
White vintage Harrods dress £45 
Black Zara shoes £10 
Black and White sequined French Connection dress £18 
Grey buckled Zara heels £12 

The beautiful detailing on the 'mermaid' dress

The Christmas tree in the window isn't for sale, but we have many others in store for sale from £3. (Sadly no real ones, but we do have some Pine forest air spritz...)

We shall be updating the window as often as possible, and of course when things get sold, so the ballgowns, cocktail dresses and party wear will keep being refreshed until Jan and all those Christmas/New Year parties are over!
So please pop in and ask if you don't see anything you like on the shop floor as we may have something in the back and we want to make our customers happy, and glam.

Men's suits and shoes are also available, so men you have no excuse to wear jeans and trainers this year!

Christmas Wreaths

Why not hang one of these wreaths on your door this Christmas?

Wreaths have much history and symbolism associated with them. They are usually made from evergreens and symbolize strength, as evergreens last even though cold winter.
The Advent wreath is associated with Christianity and the coming of Christ, but has been known to be used in Medieval times, with candles, as a sign of life in winter and the hope of a warm srping.

Now they have evolved into a more decorative item and made from anything from bells to wood and even tiny soft toys (although it did look rather kitsch I wanted one!)

We have 4 of these for sale.

Ours are slightly more 'natural', and priced from £2

We also have a handful of red wire heart shaped wreaths, but I forgot to photograph them. Sorry. You will just HAVE to visit if you wish to see them!
