Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to the Margie and Doll media launch at the beautiful Hylands House in Chelmsford. It was a stunning evening, the weather was gorgeous and warm which admittedly didn't help much when I decided to go a back route to avoid traffic and managed to get myself a little lost and very flustered and hot!
When I arrived at Hylands House all was serene and the beautiful building was complimented by the evening sun. After meeting up with the lovely
Nicki, we made our way inside where we were greeted with a much needed glass of prosseco and were told a little about how Margie and Doll came about.
The business is the brainchild of Nikki Da Costa-Smith, who's love of fashion stemmed from her nan and great aunt whom she lovingly named the business after. Her concept is to bring the joy of shopping for great clothes straight to your home or venue to save you the hassle of travelling, battling with the elements between stores and being pushed and shoved by people you don't know to get to that perfect item. She cannot however guarantee you won't be pushed and shoved by your friends whilst reaching for that must have little black dress, although I'm sure she'll have more than enough of them to go around.


Nikki has brought together pieces from brands such as Traffic people, Pink Flame, Charlise and Rinascimento which you'll be able to peruse with a glass of something chilled and bubbly in your hand in comfort. A Margie and Doll "trunk show" can be hosted almost anywhere from your home, to a venue of your choice or even your place of work and the lucky hostess will be rewarded for their efforts by receiving 10% of the events total sales to spend on themself.
It certainly seems like a lovely way to shop and socialise and beats a tupperware party!
After a wonderful evening I said my farewell to the gorgeous Hylands House and promised I would visit again soon.
