Happy Saturday ladies :-) First day of the school Easter holidays & it's hubby's birthday today, which was naturally started in the way we celebrate all birthdays - confetti canon to wake birthday boy up followed by a healthy start of cookies & bubbles in bed. Not to mention pressies & cards with the dog trying madly to jump up & snatch all the paper so he can consume it - mad just isn't the word!!!
Following on from my invite to the re-lauch of Wallis' Marble Arch store on Thursday (see here) I thought I'd do a quick show & tell.
Firstly here's a few piccies of the beautiful store & I must say if you're passing you really should pop in they've got the most helpful staff ever & the lady who was manning the changing rooms was just brilliant & so lovely.
First up lots of lovely shoes to tempt you.
Together with some brilliant pieces of jewellery, which would be just perfect for updating an old spring/summer outfit.
Plus some stunning kaftans.
Not to mention clothes.
Now as part of my invite Wallis very kindly gave me a gift voucher, so naturally with so many temptations in store it would have been rude not to do a spot of shopping right?!!
If you follow me on Twitter, you'll have already seen a picture of my bags on the train home.
Right back to today & keeping things nice & simple as despite school breaking up we've still got the karate run, then son has a party this evening meaning hubby & I get a date night :-)

But what was inside them?! Well first up this beautiful dress, which wasn't actually inside my bags as the only one in my size in store had a slight snag so they very kindly ordered it for me online & its currently winging its way to me as I type. I just love it, so elegant & timeless & it will look stunning dressed up with statement heels & a clutch but equally I already know it's coming on holiday with me to be dressed down with some simple flats too.
Quick changing room shot so you can see how stunning it really is.
Talking of holidays, Wallis have the most amazing selection of kaftans & in my eyes a girl can never have enough as they're so lightweight & easy to pack, take minimal drying & generally don't need ironing meaning it's always going to be a win win situation. If you haven't seen their Beach Boutique collection you really should take a look as they're stunning & look a lot more expensive than they actually are. I took a few into the changing room with me including this one & this one (which even comes with a separate slip) but in the end I settled on the one below.
The next purchase made was a stunning pendant necklace which will look fab worn on its own or layered with some delicate chains. Now I can't find a link to this online but it's beautiful. Every one of the pendant's varies slightly in shape & colour which I think is brilliant as you can choose a colouring more in line with jewellery you already own & it honestly looks a lot more expensive than it's price tag of £16.50.
Plus I couldn't resist adding this cream beaded number into my bag as it will be great for tying in with my new necklace. I can't believe these bracelets are currently only £4 each & available in 6 different colours. Perfect for stacking come the summer but equally ideal for buying as gifts too.
Finally Wallis also kindly gave me this lovely multi row necklace. Fab for giving that layered effect without having to fasten lots of individual necklaces. Although I'm currently thinking that as I have some spare clasps & findings I might take the lower necklace off & make it a separate necklace as I think this would go perfectly with my new pendant necklace above.
So there you have my Wallis booty, which I'm simply over the moon with. So much so that as soon as I got home & despite it being a long day I just had to have a mini trying on session to show my wares to the boys!

Don't forget to change your clocks tonight - I'm not looking forward to getting our son up for his newspaper round in the morning - to say it's going to be a struggle is something of any understatement!!

What a fab day you must've had! I wish we had a stand-alone Wallis shop near to be, we just have teeny consessions within Debenhams & BHS with only a small amount of stock but there's always sooooo much online!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, I'm away to take hubby for a birthday lunch :) x
Sarah I still can't believe my luck, I had such an amazing day. Such a shame you don't have a larger store near to you but thank goodness for the internet!! Wallis are definitely upping their game at the moment & have some stunning pieces I just want to be able to wear my new dress now so roll on the summer!
DeleteHope your hubby had a fab birthday too.

Oooh Jane....thanks for sharing! The black dress is stunning, puts me in mind of the glamour of The Great Gatsby film for some reason, stunning! Also love that kaftan which I am very tempted by as I have been doing a bit of shopping for our holiday and stashing it away! The jewellery is gorgeous too! Enjoy the rest of your weekend....happy birthday to the hubby! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, I'm absolutely delighted with my new additions & now need the reason (excuse to wear them). I don't think you'd do better for kaftans than the selection Wallis have in at the moment.
DeleteHope you've had a fab weekend too.

Aww thanks Kareema, it's always nice when your birthday falls on a weekend isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely head to your local store soon as Wallis have some lovely pieces in - far too much temptation that's for sure!
Hope you've had a lovely weekend.

ReplyDeleteAww thanks Natalie, I'm absolutely delighted with it & like you say the store is lovely & bright & contemporary.

Just catching up on my blogs (why can I never get below about 70 outstanding posts? Is it just me??!), so I hope you had a fab weekend - it sounds like the perfect way to top off a perfect week! Love your Wallis goodies, you chose so well! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky, the problem was there were too many beautiful additions to choose from but I'm delighted with my new goodies as I know they're going to be getting a lot of wear!
DeleteHope you had a fab weekend too.
