Flowers In Her Hair

Morning,

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Quick blog today before I get on with all the admin!


Today's Pick Of The Day is this JP Jewellery Cross & Flower Charm Bracelet, £20.00. It's handmade and a one-off, so you'll never see another like it. It's decorated with leaf, flower and cross charms and lots of other sparkly bits!

Have a great day!

Cross My Heart

Morning,

Good news: The online shop seems to be back to normal! Apologies for any inconvenience.

We're going to be opening a little later tomorrow (Thursday) but should be all up and running by 10am.

Had a visit from the lovely people who make our Special Evening and Monsalina Chic dresses yesterday. Some of their upcoming designs are absolutely fantastic! We have a few new pieces from them to add to our collection of Special Evening prom dresses and a few new bits of Monsalina Chic, which we hope to have out on the racks by the end of today. Come have a look and see what you think! We'll try to get them online as soon as possible, as well.


Pick Of The Day today is a great accessory to match with your Summer wardrobe, or for adding to a prom dress. This JP Jewellery Cross & Flowers Charm Bracelet, £20.00, is handmade and as with all JP Jewellery pieces, it's a one-off, meaning you're guaranteed something unique and special. This one is decorated with flower, cross and leaf charms, as well as lots of other pretty sparkly bits.

Have a good day!

Morning,

Hmm... not sure what's happened to the weather but I'm optimistic the sun will come back! But if that doesn't brighten your weekend, if you're in the area make sure you buy Saturday's Northants Evening Telegraph for another chance to grab one of our 10% off all Yumi clothing vouchers!

Any exciting plans for tomorrow? If not, pop in or order online. We're open from 10am until 4pm, then all day as usual on Saturday. Come have a browse and a chat!


Caught a bit of the Alice miniseries on Syfy the other day, so that has inspire me to have this Temporary:Secretary Alice In Wonderland Charm Necklace, £25.00, as our Pick Of The Day today. Hand-assembled by the oh so talented TempSec, it's made using brass vintage charms. Looks particularly fantastic with what we call our 'Alice dress', the Max C Bow Button Ruffle Sleeve Dress, but is a lovely piece to compliment any outfit. As this is our last one, order it or come in store before the close of business on Saturday and we'll throw in one of our Indian Glitz Heart Trinket Boxes as a little gift.

Ready for another long weekend?

With Every Heartbeat

Morning,

Lots of exciting new things in this weekend. First off, we have some gorgeous new Max C 'Damien' handbags. Available in black, grey or khaki, this skull-studded bags are absolutely gorgeous (I've already nabbed one and it is much admired so far!). The black one has gold coloured studs, the other colours have silver coloured. Big enough to fit in all your essentials, but not too bulky, these are the usual stunning design and quality you can expect from Max C, whose bags have been getting tons of press attention. The clutch version of this one was featured in Heat magazine, so be one of the first to get the handbag. We'll get them up on the online shop as soon as possible, but in the meantime they are available in store now.

The next new thing is our Barry M gift boxes. The brainchild of our executive minion Isabel, you can pick the Barry M make-up you'd like in it (minimum 3 pieces) or we can help you choose, and we'll turn it into a gorgeous little gift box with tissue paper and a bow for no extra charge. Perfect for presents, and can be tailored to suit anyone. These are available in store, or order online by adding the Barry M items you want to your basket and writing 'giftbox' in the comments section at check out.

Pick Of The Day today is this JP Jewellery Double Heart Necklace. Made by hand by Jess, one of our local artisans (and a bit nuts, truth be told, which is how we like our suppliers), there is only one of these (all JP Jewellery pieces are one-offs). Romantic and simple, this is a great way of wearing your heart on your sleeve (er, neck).

Have a great weekend! We'll be out flyering at the Wellingborough Christmas Light Switch-On tonight (we might skip the Steve Brookstein bit).

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.

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!
