We just wanted to share with you a style of clutch bag that we have fallen in love with. We love the fact that it's big enough to hold the essentials on a night out or a wedding but it's not gigantic.

It has a reflective glitter surface with a pleated detail face and a plain back . The bag comes with a silver chain strap (except the gold coloured one which has a gold chain strap).

Available in a range of colours you'll be spoilt for choice.

See the pictures below for available colours and ooh the price is £19.99

How High is your heel?

#2017prom #ukprom2017 #Bridal #Dartford #Kent #kentdressshops

Am not much of a shoe person. My entire shoe collection consists of 2 pairs of boots, 2 pairs ankle boots, a pair of court shoes and 2 pairs of practical flats. And they are all black.

So you can imagine my shock, when a girl i met told me she had 60 pairs of shoes. My head was spinning,wondering how she stores them all. She said she has all colours that you can imagine, including a yellow pair! As we were chatting about her shoe collection, another lady happened to overhear our conversation and she cheerfully added that she had 32 pairs and that she is still shopping for certain colours. 

Well, i must be strange, but shoes don't really move me. I look at them on display, appreciate them and move on.

So today I wanted to hear from you on your ideal heel height?

Amongst the 5 pairs below which one would you say is your comfort zone? And just of of curiosity, how many pairs of shoes do you have?

How to dress for an awkward introduction to the in-laws

My customer who has allowed me to use her story came to see me about a dress to wear to an awkward meet the parents dinner party.

I will call her Ru but that's not her real name. Ru has this charming fiancee' (Roy) and they've been dating for about 5 years. He proposed last year and it was time to meet his parents who live in France. She has previously met the dad while he was on a business meeting in London.

Before she met him that time, Roy sat her down and explained to her that his dad is super charming (read flirty). And it's a known fact in the family,which he apparently can't help.  He will flirt with anyone and anything in a skirt. So Roy said to her "Don't mind him, he will say some stuff but just pretend you didn't hear him".  Easier said than done! According to Ru it was the most awkward one hour ever.

So six months down and it's time for Ru to be introduced to Roy's family officially. She was panicking on what to wear to this occasion. According to Roy, they were expecting a turn out of about 120 guests. She knew she would be the centre of attention and she wanted to look simple and nice. In her own words she wanted to look like a "shy bride".

After trying on countless dresses, we agreed on this lovely rose pink dress. She loved the fact that it was all covered up and so even if all eyes were going to be on her, she wouldn't be self-conscious. The dress fit her perfectly, it draped beautifully on her size 12 frame and with a pair of heels, it was off the ground. She is naturally a minimalist so we decided against a necklace but instead opted for a dainty bracelet and a black patent clutch bag to match her patent heels.

The dinner party is this weekend so all fingers crossed for Ru and waiting for an update on what dad-in-law says.

Spring weddings are almost here and we wanted to share with you this elegant chiffon dress that has just landed in store.

Available in a range of colours, this dress is cut beautifully and has spaghetti straps . With an empire waist definition, it flatters most body shapes and the length is just perfect.

We especially love the understated embroidery detail. It looks great with a sparkly silver heel and clutch bag or if you prefer to tone it down you can have black court shoes and a black clutch bag.

You can have it as a bridesmaids dress, a prom dress or a dress to wear to any special occasion.

Dressing for a church christening

Hope we all had a lovely weekend.

One of our customers (Ana) came in on Friday, looking for a dress to attend the christening of her friends baby. The couple had asked that the guests wear an outfit in any shade of red for the celebration.

Ana doesn't like red at all and she couldn't imagine herself in a bright red dress. She also hasn't been to church in about 2 decades, so she didn't know what to wear.

So when she came in, she was so stressed but within 5 minutes we had a dress that was perfect for her and well within budget.

We recommended this dress in a shade of red commonly referred to as ox-blood. The dress is a decent below-the-knee length and it has sleeves so very appropriate for church.

With a pair of black court shoes and a black bag she looked amazing.

 

This dress is also available in a range of other colours  shown in the pictures below.

 

Sizes 8-14.

Price £29.99
