New year, new look – it’s easier than you think!

Posted on by

Thinking of updating your wardrobe for the New Year? Hold that thought – at least until you’ve heard what next week’s Girls Around Town guest has to say…

Before you hit the shops, you might want to follow the advice of personal stylist Hayley Eleanor Smith and take a closer look at some of the outfits you already own.

Are you making the most of what you’ve got? Could you be mixing, matching or accessorising things differently?

And, even worse, are you guilty of the cardinal clothing sin, with items tucked away in your wardrobe or drawers that you never, ever wear?

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday, when Hayley joins Rosalyn and June in the studio to share some of her top styling tips.

From working with what you’ve got to how to shop the sales and more – take a leaf out of her book and you could find you’re ready to start the year with a whole new look.

And best of all, it doesn’t have to break the bank!

Winter warmers

Autumn’s here – winter’s just round the corner – time to start thinking about cosy coats, warm woollies and snuggly scarves!

If you’re looking for some stylish new additions to your wardrobe, why not do it over lunch and help raise funds for a good cause at the same time?

On Monday 12 November, you’ll have an opportunity to do just that when Shirt Sleeves in Newark hosts its autumn/winter fashion show…

All proceeds from the event will be going to Faith in Families, an East Midlands based charity which has been helping families on their adoption journey for 70 years. Find out more about its work as you see all the latest collections modelled while enjoying a delicious two-course lunch with coffee.

Starting at 11am, the event takes place at The Ram and tickets are on sale now, priced £28 each – advance booking is essential so pop into the store on Middlegate or call 01636 605880 to get yours now.

Pampered to perfection

Looking for a bit of a lift to brighten up the dull, dark days of winter?

Well, there’s nothing better than a little ‘me time’, especially if it comes with the chance to indulge in a spot of shopping and a healthy dose of pampering too.

So here’s a date for your diaries when you can enjoy all that and more – and just in time for Valentine’s Day…

There’ll be plenty of treats to try and buy at the Ladies Pamper Evening taking place from 6.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturday 10 February at Bottesford Village Hall.

Enjoy a relaxing massage or an Indian head massage – polish up your act with a new nail colour – tidy up your brows or try a tint on your lashes – and while you’re there check out some of the different holistic and homeopathic therapies also on offer.

You’ll be spoilt for choice on the retail therapy front as well, browsing among a range of stands selling everything from candles, jewellery and garden gifts to handmade fabric pictures, knitted and sewn items and tanning products to name just a few.

Tickets are £2 each in advance or £3 on the door. Call Wendy on 07961 240654 or Juliette on 07946 368308 for more details and to reserve your ticket – or just turn up on the night ready to banish those winter blues for an hour or two!
