It’s the weekend. Whatsapp is off the hook
with messages from the girls organizing the night ahead in impressive military style. But you’re not quite feeling it. There’s a
giant bar of your fave chocolate in the fridge and My Best Friend’s Wedding on the box. You can’t quite envisage
dedicating the next hour of your life to contouring and quite frankly the only
thing you fancy right now is a cozy night in.
Here at WSd HQ we regularly deliberate ditching
our heels for our slippers (call us grannies but retail is tough on the
tootsies!). Yet, there’s no denying we love a glam night too. These nights can
often be weeks or even months in the making and the anticipation levels for a mojito
increase as each day passes! This night is the hottest in the iPhone calendar-
there’s nothing better than dancing the night away with your besties.
This balance between cosy and glam was the
WSd vibe for the Hitchin Fashion show on Saturday. A bevy of beautiful customers modelled on the
day and showcased the diversity What Sarah did… has to offer. From comforting
chunky knits, to striking red lace dresses, we have something for everyone and
every kind of night.
WSd HQ was a bustling hub of beauty early
on Saturday morning, filled with models, make-up artists and croissants,
naturally. Two wonderfully talented ladies Vicki Maria (https://www.facebook.com/VickiMariaMUA?fref=ts)
and Fiona Lennox (https://www.facebook.com/fionalennoxmua)
created stunning make-up looks on the day. Beautiful bronze eye palettes
created a warm glow and reflected the wonderful shades of the autumnal
outdoors. Soft peach and rose blushes produced gorgeous post-dance floor radiance.
CODE VLM (£19.95) added the finishing touch to lashes without the need for
falsies and gave our models the confidence to give the cameras a flutter.
The talented Rob Weavers (https://www.facebook.com/robweaversphotography)
captured some truly stunning candid shots, both on the catwalk and behind the
scenes. Sharon Cooper’s wonderful pictures translate the fun of the show and
the abundance of ways you can rock a WSd piece with confidence.
So, to the runway…
With Ella Eyre’s chart dominating anthem
‘Together’ filling the Hitchin air, our models followed suit and ruled the
catwalk…
Before the show Sarah sent self-confidence
levels rocketing when she told her angels her interpretation of the chosen
song…we all need our friends and “together we are better”.
New season Ginger Fizz was hot off the
hanger and added an injection of vibrant colour and pattern. There was plenty
of swishing to be done in the English Girl tassel dress (£86) and the Ginger Fizz
Elusive dress (£48). Our models rocked these glamorous looks with their fave
converse, proving that sore feet are no longer a valid excuse for cutting the
night short!
Lace makes an appearance season after
season and is a firm wardrobe staple.
Our show featured the Honor Gold Adrianna Midi in red (£95) and the Love
Triangle Divine Angel dress in nude (£49), both pieces exuding vintage
overtones with an injection of sass. Loose flowing hair kept the overall lace
look easy-going and fun.
Mink Pink has got the club queue covered
(vip of course). Choose from the super warm and perfectly cut Under Control
Aviator Jacket (£85) or the ultra soft Oh Deer Faux fur Bambi bomber (£78). The
only problem is, you won’t want to take either of them off!
Our showcase of fab jumpers verified that the
knitwear game has been upgraded. We have quite the collection in store and any
one of them will guarantee ultra cosiness.
Proving the versatility of the winter staple, we teamed the Mink Pink
Disturbia Aztec knit (£45) with a cute and oh so on trend Vero Moda denim mini
skirt (£29) and the Mink Pink Paper Planes chunky slouch jumper (£45) with
comfy Somedays Lovin Sweat Pants (£45).
There’s no denying the power of
accessories…minimalist clutches, chic yet functional satchels, wool scarves,
silk scarves, statement necklaces, chunky belts. They add texture and colour
and are often the pièce de résistance of
any outfit. Our show featured gorgeously soft Becksöndergaard
leather bags, dazzling box glitter clutches (£39) and statement necklaces from
Vero Moda (£19) and From St Xavier (£47). On the flip side, popcorn filled WSd
carrier bags and cuddly teddy bears completed the cosy night-in look!
The star
of the show, our amazing Sarah, dazzled in the Vero Moda Erica dress in the
colour brass (£42) and the FAB.U.LOUS Somedays Lovin’ None the Wiser faux fur coat (£90).
Her gorgeous sidekick Mary-anne oozed cool in the English Girl Odyssey Cape (£75)
and Vero Moda coated jeans (£35). Perfection.
The fashion show was an epic event;
showcasing the fab independents of Hitchin and the wonderful diversity every
store has to offer.
Everyone truly strutted their stuff on the
cobbles and gave the audience a taste of how easy it is to look great and feel
confident in WSd.
Do you have a favourite look from the show?
