After our tour around the
Next store we bundled back into the coach that took us to Hotel du Vin in Brighton where we were treated to a delicious three course lunch. The desserts were especially good and I loved how they served the Eton Mess in small glass jars.
Over lunch I had the pleasurable company of gals who founded the blogs
Design Trend,
Pink Bow,
Mary Middleton,
Style Made Simple,
Dear Designer and
Domestic Sluttery.
Between the lunch courses we were shown how the New Shoreham Next store came together from initial design concepts to how they achieved the final look. Then, as cheese and crackers were served we were given a sneak peak at their stylish mood boards which inspired this year's Christmas collections. My favourite was the Ice Palace collection with sparkly snowflakes, silver deer heads and twiggy candelabras, all of which would match my last year's Christmas theme,
Winter Woodland Christmas.
