Here Kitty Kitty Kitty

Morning,

I wish the weather would make it's mind up... I don't know whether it's still coat season or if I should just take a jacket (plus, I have my eye on one of the Yumi Malin Blazers).

Just a heads up that we will be shutting early today at 4.45pm. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone. I'm off flat hunting, and a homeless shopkeeper is not a happy shopkeeper! While we're shut, you can always leave us messages on our Facebook page, or browse, order and use the contact form on our online shop.

Pick Of The Day today are these Temporary:Secretary Hello Kitty Earrings, £6.00. We only have one pair left now, so if you've had your eye on them, act quickly! They are for pierced ears, with silver plated backings. The little Hello Kittys on them add a subtle bit of kitsch to any outfit.

Friday tomorrow!

Morning,

Forgot to say yesterday, did you see our advert in the Spree section of the Northants Evening Telegraph on Monday? Right next to the piece on Hello Kitty. So it might be worth remembering we have fantastic Hello Kitty rings and earrings in the Temporary:Secretary section of our online shop!

Busy day yesterday, with lots of the Smashing Glass going out. The sale is still on and there are some real bargains to be had, especially among the Max C and Worn Free pieces. Have you had a look yet?

Sadly, we've now removed the Dr Marten New Authentic Zip Wedge boots from our online shop as these are no longer available in the colours we stock, although apparently they are still doing them in black, brown and red, so if you're interested, get in touch and we can put in a special order for you. We're also still waiting on the patent 8-Eye boots to come in, hopefully end of March/beginning April, so those who have ordered them, thank you for your patience! And if you've had your eye on some, get your order in quick, so we can guarantee you a pair in the colour and size you want.



Pick Of The Day is this gorgeous navy blue with cream trim Max C dress. It was originally £40 but is now in the sale for £25! It's a lovely light dress, perfect for spring, when the nautical look is back yet again. It also reminds us of Alice In Wonderland, and we think it looks great with the Temporary:Secretary Alice In Wonderland Charm Necklace. Because this is now a sale item (and has been much loved and admired!) we only have the dress in stock in limited sizes and numbers, but hopefully we'll have yours!

Have a good day!

Morning,

Sometimes these song-title inspired blog titles are pretty hard to come up with!

How are we all this Saturday? We're down to our last stock on quite a few pieces now so if you fancy the Temporary:Secretary Hello Kitty ring or the Iska Slinky Butterfly Dress, get in quick! Also, if everyone is pestering you to tell them what you want for Xmas, don't forget we can hold a wishlist for you, or we have the gift vouchers (gift vouchers are in store only).

Thank you to everyone who nominated us for Inspiring Independents. It's not too late so if you haven't already, send an e-mail to inspiringindies@drapersonline.com telling them you love us and why.

Also, Kat (that would be your blogger here) is going to be in the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph Spree section on Monday revealing the inside of her wardrobe. Please don't be too harsh in your judgements!

Pick Of The Day is this handmade, one-off, unique charm bracelet from JP Jewellery. Pretty and delicate, it has flower, cross, rose and leaf charms, and is perfect for glamming up bare arms (are you mad? It's freezing!) or adding a bit of sparkle to a simple outfit. Plus, you'll never see it on anyone else as it's the only one in the world.

Have a great weekend and we'll be back with you on Tuesday.

Morning,

Trying to work out when the best time to put the Xmas decorations up at the shop is. Don't want to get in too early, but don't want to be all Scrooge-like. Any ideas?

Tomorrow is your last chance to get your hands on our WAM Apparel t-shirts and hoodies before we finish stocking the collection, so if you've been eyeing any of them up, either pop in or order them quickly! We've loved having the screen-printed range in, but we're scaling down our menswear (unless you blokes out there have a sudden shopping surge, in which case we'll reconsider!). We will still have our Worn Free t-shirts, Rubertine Art t-shirts, and Spiral Direct shorts in stock for the time being.

Pick Of The Day is this purrfect stocking filler from hand-assembled jewellery starlet Temporary:Secretary. These Hello Kitty earrings are kitsch, cute, and a bargain. Great as a gift, or even better to keep for yourself! We also have a Temporary:Secretary Hello Kitty ring, if you want to coordinate. For more information, pop in store or check them out on our online shop.

The weekend creeps ever closer...

Kitsch Kitty

Morning,

Well, it's Tuesday, which is the start of the Unorthodox week (we don't do Mondays). A very long to-do list and lots of paperwork await. But on a happier note, we have some new artwork in! I'll put the full details on here tomorrow but if you're in the area, come in and browse!

Pick Of The Day are these Temporary:Secretary Hello Kitty earrings. Made for pierced ears with silver plated backings, and measuring about 1cm x 1cm, they're a very cute little treat for all fans of Sanrio's little cat. We also have a matching Hello Kitty ring in stock, also by TempSec. All Temporary:Secretary pieces are hand-assembled, to order, keeping them exclusive and desirable. These are available in store or on our online shop, so why not treat yourself?

Hope your week is starting well!

Morning

Well, mannequins have been changed again. Kurt is wearing Spiral Direct shorts with a WAM Apparel Snarling Dog t-shirt, Courtney is in the navy blue Max C dress, and Frances is wearing the Death Kitty red pinstripe drainpipe jeans with a Spiral Direct diamante skull bandeau top. Going to add the Temporary Secretary Alice charm necklace to Courtney and then they'll be all set for the week.

Pick of the day is this Temporary Secretary Hello Kitty ring (photo courtesy of Temporary Secretary). It's not going to put a strain on your wallet, and it's perfect to treat yourself or make someone smile. The ring is silver plated, and adjustable. We also have Temporary Secretary Hello Kitty earrings too.

Anyway, not feeling too great today so I'll cut this short and go sit in a corner until I feel better!
