I am delighted to announce that on Saturday June 30th between 1 and 4 o’clock, we will be welcoming Selina Lake to the store to sign copies of her latest book, Homespun Style. Selina, as many of you know, is one of the finest British stylists there is and this, her third book is a triumph which is selling well across the world.

 To celebrate Selina joining us with her new release, we will be giving all of our customers 10% discount on purchases across the store during the event and there will be champagne and cupcakes in abundance. We will also be welcoming beauty apothecary Violetta into the store with their very own pop up shop.

We look forward to welcoming you on what promises to be a wonderful afternoon. 

Next in our series of favourite shop tunes is Little Bird by Lisa Hannigan. 

Since our post about Hunter Jones last week we have had a few calls asking whether we can share some more of our secret addresses in and around Rye. Well top of our list has to be Violetta, the gorgeous beauty apothecary run by the talented duo of Karena Callen and Nick Shaddick

” When we opened Violetta in Rye in February 2011, we wanted to create the kind of independent beauty apothecary and perfumery that we longed to shop in:  somewhere we wouldn’t feel rushed or overwhelmed and where we could find elegant, well-crafted fragrances, effective skin care that was deluxe and affordable and gorgeous, shamelessly decorative cosmetics. Judging by the growing number of regular clients in our Rye boutique, our recipe has succeeded.  To quote Red magazine, Violetta offers: “the perfect mix of magazine-glossiness and spa-like tranquillity.”  

Everything at Violetta, both in store and on our web site, has been personally sourced and selected by us. We have deliberately chosen capsule collections of beautifully-crafted perfumes, skin care and cosmetics about which we feel passionate and all of which come with excellence and integrity assured. Many of our products are tried, tested and trusted favourites, award-winners and best sellers that come with the seal of approval from myriad beauty editors, make-up artists and industry aficionados. ”

Trust me, you will be made so welcome, you will never want to leave.

We are pleased to let you know that we now have the brand new EP from the brilliant Club Promise in store. This young band are going from strength to strength and are going to be huge …..

” Their beguiling, lyrically-rich songs show a keen pop sensibility, conjuring up a world of love and yearning, underpinned by accomplished musicianship with guitars, mandolin, ukulele and accordion and melodium thrown into a rich mix. They happily delve into different musical styles, songs happily fusing Balkan folk rhythms with melodic folk and the sounds of Parisian street music. ”
