The Dressing Room Insiders Exclusive

On Wednesday i travelled down to St. Albans to attend The Dressing Room Insiders Exclusive day. The Dressing Room have been trading successfully for 8 and a half years, and have the most amazing boutique in the centre of St. Albans, as well as a website full of awesome designer and exclusive pieces. They're a multi award winning boutique, and pride themselves on the collection of brands they have to offer as well as the fantastic customer service. The Dressing Room was created by buyer and retail expert Deryane Tadd, a truly inspirational lady who is full of knowledge and passion!
I met with a few other bloggers, to look at the newly refurbished shop and rebranding - the shop is ultra glam, clean, fresh and modern. It's all open plan and really welcoming, plus the stylists are always on hand to assist with any potential purchases. I was styled by Amy and had Jaime looking after me too, they were so helpful and i tried things on that i wouldn't usually go for but ended up loving! They think about the whole outfit plus accessories, shoes and jewellery so it was really easy having everything all in one place - i loved the experience and had a great time.
I took a few pictures on the day, i loved the big rack of the Becksondergaard  scarfs, the dark red Sam Edelman boots, as well as the Tokyo Jane bracelets - i also tried on some classic versatile pieces like velvet J Brand trousers and some Dr. Denim printed jeans!
I definitely recommend popping into the shop, also the new website is set to launch next week - we had a little preview and it looks super sharp! The current website is still up, so you can shop everything here.

The Monday Piece - Chicnova.com

This weeks Monday Piece is on new online fashion brand, Chicnova.com. They say that Chic means style and fashion, and nova means a new star, this brand is both of these. The website is based in Hong Kong and is becoming quickly established - since discovering this site recently I love it, it's right up my street and has styles to suit every lady out there, I particularly love the grungy style of clothing and they have lots of studded and embellished items which are too difficult to resist! Those eye popping trainers are so cool and unique, I need them on my feet right now, I also need that fringed bag for autumn/winter. They have such a great selection of jewellery, shoes, clothing and even bits and bobs for the home.
The site is also gaining popularity with fashion bloggers, they often do lots of contests on their Facebook page where you can win vouchers to spend on the site, though the prices are very reasonable anyway. If you get chance to look at the fashion site I definitely recommend it, they offer free worldwide shipping and 20% off your first order when you register, let me know if you buy something - I'd love to see!
