Private Styling Sessions at Willow & Huxley
A bottle of bubbles, an entire store to yourself, and expert style advice on hand – all at no extra charge? Yes it’s possible – right in the heart of the city! It’s no secret that Willow & Huxley has become one of our favourite go-to boutiques for their ever-changing selection of international labels. But our best insider’s tip is their totally complimentary styling sessions (with no minimum spend). Trust: it pains us to give this one up!
All you need to do is round up some girlfriends and make an appointment with the store. Willow & Huxley will then pop some champagne, put some nibbles out, and close the store for a full hour just for you and the girls. You’ll even have one of their in house stylists on hand if you need expert help!
Naturally, we took the opportunity to test out this service and invited Arabella, a longtime reader of ours (and clearly a supermodel in the making) to shop Willow & Huxley with us.
To make things extra difficult (hey, we have a job to do!), we threw situations at Arabella and got her to dress for the occasion. Meanwhile, we kicked back with our champagne and watched Laura, Willow & Huxley stylist, do her thing.
Scenario 1: you need to get from school drop-off to a business lunch meeting
Laura put Arabella in a striped Scarborough dress from Fever (London) and paired the graphic ensemble with fun neon flats. The high contrast keeps the otherwise simple outfit visually interesting.
Scenario 2: you need an everyday outfit that’s comfortable but still makes you look like a million bucks
The easiest way to achieve an effortlessly luxe look is by updating your basics. Laura paired a white silk jersey tee by Bella Luxx (Los Angeles) with a pair of silk shorts from By Marlene Birger (Denmark). You can easily elevate the look by accessorizing or switching out your sandals for heels if you need to exit the house.
Scenario 3: you need a rockin’ outfit for a memorable night out with the girls
Bling it, sister! This gold skirt from Finders Keepers (Australia) is a guaranteed statement-maker, while the black silk jersey top by Bella Luxx (Los Angeles) will keep you cool as you dance your tail off.
Scenario 4: you need a Sunday do-all dress
Everyone needs a go-to dress, and we think this Lieven dress from Twenty8Twelve (London) has the perfect stretch and silhouette to make you look and feel good.
These styling sessions are perfect for birthdays, special occasions, or if you have a specific event to shop for. You can even surprise a girlfriend with vouchers in store (or send this to the hubs *hint hint*).
Tip: Willow & Huxley is open from 9am to 8pm.
