CLOTHES FOR CAUSES LAUNCH

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday. I have an exciting post for you about a new store that opened yesterday aptly named 'Clothes For Causes'. This is a charity shop, but with a very modern and enticing atmosphere. With donations including a mixture of designer, high street and vintage fashion, home ware, toys and more this store is bursting at the seams with vibrancy. With a team that is more like a family ready to greet you and welcome you in your shopping experience will be one that you walk away happy from. Their stock rooms are literally overflowing so get down there and grab a bargain or few. Money raised goes towards helping local causes.

Shop owner Veronique served customers between cupcakes and bubbly.

Veronique also made all of these scented candles.

Fabulously cheeky decor.

Happy shoppers

There was a photo booth at the shop opening which many customers and staff had fun with. This was my favourite photo with my Mum although I could not get her to look at the lens, ha ha.

This store can be found in Eltham High Street, SE9 (opposite Prezzo).

Opening times:

Mon - Sun, 10am - 6pm.

Other Clothes For Causes stores opening soon will be in East Dulwich, Forest Hill and Catford.

Save The Children Ladies Night Eltham

Hi there cherubs. Today I really must tell you about this charity shop event I attended on Thursday 28th November. My Mum (Irene) has been working as a volunteer in this Save The Children shop for some years now with a great team of people.

The event was set up to allow ladies to view the stock out of the shops usual hours and find themselves a bargain or few.

So here are snaps of just some of the fabulous range that was in store that night .......

FASHION

Velvet, jewel toned and 90's bra shaping are all on trend right now and the style of this dress is perfect for the party season.

Shoe styles like these never seem to go out of fashion and fit with so many outfits.

The cocoon shaping of this dress has a very designer-esque feel.

This beautiful lace detail dress can be worn all year round due to it's monochrome design.

Gucci Inspired shoes & belt

Colourful Diamante

Balenciaga style bag

More 90's fashion. Perfect for sparkling at festive parties and events.

Great to keep out winter chills and look super stylish.

BEAUTY/GIFTS

HOMEWARE

Cute kitsch ceramics

Blue tones

So cute for some festive cheer.

LIFESTYLE

I do love a bit of Gok styling.

Tips from the model herself.

Guests sipped on beverages, munched on nibbles and some treated themselves to a painted manicure too.

It was a very enjoyable night that embodied the community spirit of Eltham. There will hopefully be even more events in the New Year too. I am so proud of Mum and the team she works with. They have a really well laid out shop with fantastic stock and warm hearts to greet you.

Why not pop in to have a browse and say hello to my Mum (Irene) and her fellow colleagues. I am sure they would be glad to see you :) Let them know you heard about the shop from my blog.

Opening Times:

Monday & Sunday: 10am - 3pm

Tuesday to Saturday: 10am - 4pm

Address:

Unit 3, 14 Passey Pl, London SE9 5DQ (just off the high street near Argos)
