Us, here at MLPR wanted to share some of our recent press coverage which we are very proud of! This was a great one – three of our clients on one page! Thank you Jenny, at City & Angel! The press have been loving on-line boutique www.runwayroute.com and this month have had features in Look, Daily Mirror and Now. Should have Celebs on Sunday this weekend too.
Animal print is one of those fashion trends that comes in and out every few years and then goes on and on for a while. So the MLPR team recommend hot footing it down to the Chica Boutique shop in Spitalfields Market as they have some fabulous day dresses, as well as a gorgeous maxi.
Time Out Magazine also agreed with us this week! See below coverage.
We at MLPR have put together a Friday night lust list for the weekend with tips on where to get them at bargain prices … so see below
One of our fav’ Friday night companions at the weekend is a Wilbur & Gussie Charlie clutch – and the good neews is they are now 60% off from their website www.wilburandgussie.com.
We have just heard that the gorgeous girl boudoir boutique Chica Boutique has gone on sale today with 50% discount. We have been loving their new Ingenue dresses all summer and the Chica collection are great little statements so check out www.chicaboutiqueonline.com or go down to their Spitalfield’s store on Market Place.
Finally www.apartment-c.com is now on 70% discount - and a trip to Marylebone High Street, London W1 this weekend is definitely worth.
Friday night saw the gorgeously girly boutique, Chica, host a fashion, art and music extravaganza in London’s East End. Based in Spitalfields, the plush, girly and uber luxurious store was transformed into a bohemian, flower-filled festival, all in aid of the charity, Art Against Knives. Set up by Chica boutique employee, Katy Dawe, the charity was founded after Katy’s friend, and fellow art student, Oliver Helmsley, was stabbed in an unprovoked attack in east London back in 2008. Leaving the 21 year old paralysed and in need of constant medical support for the rest of his life, the friends are now working together to raise awareness of knife crime through the medium of art.
Based in and around the Chica store, the bijous shop heaved with flowers, ribbons and pastel hued lanterns, spreading outside to where a stage and retro Routemaster were stationed. The bus, suitably spruced up with blooms, multicoloured hula hoops and a giant, Art Against Knives banner, housed a carefully curated exhibition, showing some of London’s brightest young artists. As we negotiated our way around the bus and up the narrow stairs, tunes from the house band rung out across the space, as we sipped on comp cocktails and perused the quirky, controversial, and highly skilled art work on display.
Rammed with cool Hoxtonites and young professionals alike, the event was jam packed and ran like clockwork, as efficient staff, dressed up in super glamorous Chica dresses, whizzed through the crowd with drinks and nibbles for the partygoers. Bringing the spirit of the Sixties back to the East End with a bang, it was a brilliantly positive event to come from such a tragic story, and we can’t wait to see what the charity has planned next.
