As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was invited to the launch of the Simply Be Doncaster
Shop.
The shop is on the 1st floor of the lovely Frenchgate Center which is very elegant, lots of nice little shops and coffee type
places. The center itself has also got great , well I'd almost describe
them as cubby style seating areas - very comfy and private for discreet
gatherings and girly/boyfriend type stuff.
So to the shop itself, as soon as I walked in I was
greeted with a glass of champers , very nice , and a lady with a platter of
finger foods ( looked nice but with moi and my allergies I declined – didn’t
really want my face to turn into a chip monk that night TBA).
Big smile from the lovely Abi Hill , so I went over and said
hello ( as mentioned on the simply be site - I felt very short in
comparison to Abi ( I’m 5:8 and was
wearing flats so that’s my excuse) mind you she did have totally massive
heels on - I mean girl how the heck did you walk in those? )
Interesting facts about Abi
Name - Abi Hill
Height - 5:11.5
Dress Size - 16
Age - 21
So after finishing chatting to Abi
I had a good look around
the store, everything was beautifully laid out as you would expect, with
the latest clothes, some great Joe Brown and Frock & Frill, next
salary :0). Whilst I was looking at an item of clothing I
was asked if I’d like a fashion makeover, apparently there are advisers
in the
store that will act almost like personal shoppers and bring clothes to
you to
try on - very cool. I declined the offer
that night , but what a marvelous idea.
Here you see some of the lovely staff and a gentleman looking slightly bemused :0) .

I also got chatting to this lady and didnt even catch her name (how rude am I!) .
I
love the blue dress, she was so helpful, we talked for
ages about the clothes and she was very interested to hear about my
online
shopping experience versus my actual shop experience. She was very
versed with regards
currently trends, colors and what would suit your particular shape.
Lovely lady, and a perfect representative for Simply Be clothes.
So whilst I was mid chat , a lady with a Mic came hurtling
towards me from across the store, ( I
thought heck what have I done!) She
said, “ Could I ask you a question , so you can win some money to spend in the
shop” , daft question I thought , of course you can. So she preceded to ask me “Which member of
Westlife was married to Kerry Katona”,
"errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm oh
yes is it Brian I whispered" ( with a
little help from a friend standing close by phew! ) .
“Whoooo
congratulations you;ve just won £20.00 to spend in
store. “ Well if I didn’t have
ammunition to spend before I certainly did now. So off to the lingerie
section I went , Abi came over and offered her advice, then left me
umming and arghing
whilst she went off to do her model duties. ( I am
so very indecisive re lingerie )
Another assistant came up and said to me “Oh that’s a nice set , my mum has just bought it, I asked her how old her mum was and she said ”55” .

I was feeling particularly naughty and said “Oh ,you;ve put
me off now I’m much younger, what a thing to say ”, and started to walk away, the poorly girlie nearly died on the spot, she
was totally mortified ha ha ( my big sis will tell me off for that one lol) .
I
did catch up with her later though and showed her that I’d
purchased the exact set that I had teased her about lol. See below my
lovely lingerie, I just need a special occasion to wear it for now -
mmmmmmm!.
The Champers and foot platters didn’t stop all night ( nice)
, there was a hairy moment were one of the servers collided with one of the
clothes rails and the drinks went flying, glass everywhere, which was a shame
poor girl – hope she was okay.
So to the big moment and lets cut the ribbon .

All in all , it was a fabulous night :0)
So, time to go ( feet are aching and this ladys sleepy) , on the way out I was asked did I really have to go?
"Yes I'm super tired I replied" and was given a big smile combined with a lovely to see you and a goody bag ( nice touch).
