Chilli Studio Day


We had a lovely day at Chilli Studios in Bristol yesterday - thanks to everyone who came along, showed support, played dress up and bought some beautiful things at bargain prices!


Nikki even managed to convince Gemma, the studio owner, to play dress up in some of our stock (and Gemma couldnt resist treating herself to one of our gorgeous long Limb corsetted coats) 


A fun evening was had by all who attended, especially the studio's resident Teddy Bear! We'd have loved to have taken him home with us, but we think Gemma may have noticed! ;-)



All in all, it was a successful evening and we're already planning the next one. We'll be back in Bristol in January, but this time we plan to make it bigger and better - hopefully offering mini makeovers and photoshoots for those who want to play dress up and get some lovely photos. We'll still have the same huge discounts off our stock (up to 70% off some pieces, and at least 10% off everything!), free gifts and we may introduce some prizes and fun too.

Any feedback from yesterday's event, or ideas for the next one are always welcome.

Wonderful Working Women Meeting

I decided to attend one of ReeRee Rockette's Wonderful Working Women's meetings at the weekend and am so glad I did!
You can read ReeRee's review (including piccys!) here :
http://www.alternativelylovely.com/blog/wonderful-working-women-networking-session-2.html


I made so many new contacts - from designers, to writers, to stylists and more! I've also starting following them all on Twitter!

I'll definately be at the next one and recommend it to any ladies who already have, or are thinking of starting their own business. It's great to have someone to talk to about things, partly so you don't make the same mistakes as others, but also just to know you're not the only one trying to make things work in the current economic climate.

My favourite thing about the meeting was the relaxed atmosphere - it didn't feel like a "business meeting", it was much more of a group of friends who just hadn't met before and the networking aspect was fabulous. I'm sure I'll be working with some of the ladies that were there when I re-open the new shop for various reasons.

Watch this space!

Mini Group Shoot

I spent this Bank Holiday weekend with good friends, good food and plenty of alcohol, but we also managed to squeeze in a few photo shoots with old favourite stock and some new pieces too!

I modelled in our ever popular Red Jazmin Dress :

Firstly "Doll Style" with Richard Lund Photography :


And then pretty pin up style with new photographer Lighthouse Photography :

Richard Lund also shot the gorgeous model Button in one of our overbust corsets :



And the beautiful Claire in one of our underbusts (topless shot - NSFW) :



I'm sure there'll be plenty more shots to follow but the weekend is only just over so I'm very pleased to be sharing these already!

Hope you are had a productive weekend!

Festival of Sins Flyers!

We had great fun shooting promotional material for Festival of Sins last month! Nikita Sablier were among the designers and boutiques chosen to dress the beautiful models for each of the seven deadly sins! Photography was by the talented Adam Robertson of Team Binkertson and the Studio was provided by Technical Boy.
The models included Madame Bink, Anita De Bauch, Ella DeVine, Roswell Ivory, Boykitten, Dee Bee, Easy Tiger, Noam Zabari and I hope I haven't forgotten anyone but tell me if I have and will add a link! 

Festival of Sins are moving their night to a bigger and better club in October so it was only right they re-vamped the promo posters and flyers to promote things!

I'll blog each new sin leaflet as it's released when featuring Nikita Sablier!

But in the meantime here's a sneak peek of some of the promotional posters so far - we saw these on display at the last event at the Purple Turtle over the weekend and they looked fabulous!

Nikita Sablier - leaving Kingly Court

Walking away from something you know isn't an easy thing to do. You know how things work, what makes a place tick. but sometimes you have to walk away, taking with you only the knowledge that the next thing will be even better then the last. Saying goodbye to Kingly Court wasn't easy, my first shop will always hold many fond memories. But saying goodbye and walking away is exactly what I have chosen to do. I shut up shop last week, I am no longer there.


We will be back though in a shiny new space to show off all the fabulous designs I stock. When we re-open Freyagushi will be selling one of their lines (the ever popular hello kitty designs) exclusively through my shop!! It's all very exciting really. It's just a matter of finding that perfect spot, a place that not only suits our needs but some where that feels right.


There will be a grand opening too of course, definately an event we can all look forward to. I'll keep you all posted of course but for now I point you in the direction of my website and look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
