SE1 London – diary
10-06-2005
The moving sale on Saturday has kept me busy this week. I have spent most of the week in London re-organising the whole shop, steaming clothes and doing an inventory, would not have been a massive task six months ago but now baby in the picture it’s a real military operation. She has now decided to be hungry every fifteen minutes and when the customers started pouring in (although the shop was closed) I had no choice but to start running the shop.
Little Kristiina has lots to learn about retailing: her customer service skills were not the best as she decided to cry with all her lungs while I was trying to chat with the customers. To my horror I also noticed that I was yet to master the art of breastfeeding while running the shop…I will leave it to your imagination. But what can you do? When she flashes her amazing, cute toothless baby smile your heart just melts…….At the end of the day (and the shop still not organised) I could have fell asleep on top of piles of clothes that I still needed to steam….
A shipment of more wrap dresses arrived on Thursday from the factory. I am telling you-the prints are amazing and will sell like hotcakes!!!! They are just begging to be worn this summer. Sourcing amazing prints from Vietnam could be very difficult but I have been so lucky to have someone like Vanilla working for me down there. So make a visit to Kingley Court boutique next week to have a look and remember that all prints are limited-once they are gone that’s it!
Fab SE1 Leather ballerina pumps – 50% off on Saturday
Let’s hope that I will get it all organised before Saturday! So if your summer wardrobe needs updating, head to Borough Market. All summer clothes are 50% off and even the wrap dresses are reduced for one day only. Fingers crossed baby Kristiina will behave herself!!! For more information on the SE1 sale click here.
