Fashion Magazine
Not too long ago I was invited to an event at the Oaks Boutique in Leeds, for a night of networking, champagne and cupcakes. & of course the chance to look (and shop) all the gorgeous clothes for sale at Oaks Boutique. I can only apologize for being a few weeks late, Uni work really is taking priority at the moment, so posts may be a little slow - but hey, better late than never.
On arrival myself and a few blogging ladies were handed a glass of champers and invited to take a look around the store. Firstly what stood out most was the care an attention taken to separate all the walls into color blocks, a gradient of blues on one wall to pink and neutral shades on the other. This I felt made it easy to shop, & being more of a black and white girl, I knew it would be easy to find things to try on from the more monochrome collections.
I was instantly drawn to all the accessories and shoes, of course, because I'm a little bit of a self confessed jewelry hoarder. So seeing the beautiful collection of over sized rings and gorgeous body chains made my bank account weep. Unfortunately I couldn't buy any of the beautiful pieces I so desperately wanted, even with the generous and tempting 20% discount, t'was the day before pay day & I was skint!
Oaks Boutique currently have three shops around the Leeds area, Chapel Allerton (the clearance store), the main boutique in Roundhay (Street Lane, Leeds) in which the event was held, and finally one in Horsforth. Personally I loved the boutique, the staff were lovely and attentive, the clothes were beautiful & definitely reflected the British seasons. So many lovely thick and close knit sweaters (it's not quite summer yet!)
& if you happen to see anything you like on their facebook page, Oaks Boutique are happy to take payments over the phone & post your wanted items out to you! - Even though I do live in Leeds, I found the shop to be a little bit out of the way for me, so knowing Oaks provide this service is fantastic!
Finally, as the time came to leave, we grabbed another cupcake for the road as the staff handed us our extremely generous goodie bags, containing a beautiful paintent purse, a blue leopard print scarf (that my friend pinched shortly after the event! - Oaks you defs have a new fan!) a dainty silver necklace & some yummy sweeties!
