The opening of the new Boux Avenue

Yesterday i was invited to an opening of the new Boux Avenue Boutique in Guilford. It a lingerie store and specialise from the very sexy to the very comfy underwear, as well as soft nightwear to wear around the house. I will admit lingerie is an area of womenswear where i hasn’t really explored before so i was really excited in being invited and getting a first hand glimpse of lingerie shopping.

Oh by the way did i mention it owned by Theo Paphitis, yes the guy from the BBC show Dragon Den.

And did i also forget to mention that i eventually manage to get a photo with him.

The boutique itself was beautifully laid out and it has an aura of french boutique you would find in Paris. I think these pictures would speak louder than words. (These might get a little image heavy, sorry!)

This is me leaving the store after treating myself (naturally!)

I shall finished by saying all good press opening is not complete without the goody bag.

This included gift card, sexy knicker, lip balm and hand cream.

A big thank you to Laura and her team for inviting me and if you are in the Guildford, surrey area i really recommend in visting the store as they really caters to everyone invidual need.

My Trip to Vivienne Westwood.

I’m in a bad mood, my GPS keeps pointing me in the wrong direction, I’m cold and pretty sure my shoes have got a hole in as my feet are soaking wet. I’m a stubborn girl and I’m determined to find this shop.  Vivienne Westwood is an iconic and a celebrated British designer, which is why I’m on a mission to find her shop. My mind turned into a foggy blur as I stepped into the shop and it only became clear when I stepped into the downstairs area and there was the beautiful Anne Hathaway in the flesh. My heart was racing, wow a Hollywood actress in the flesh. Keeping dignity intact I simply compliment on her outfit and hoped she had a nice day, I felt rude for interrupting her day. I left the shop smiling and contained my excitement. I left in a happier mood with a spring in my soggy step.
