Brit Chic Fashion Show in 5 Days

Hi Mates

Well the Fashion Show is in 5 days time. Its hectic around here getting the last minute arrangements in place.

Its going to be an exciting show and we hope that with your support we can raise a decent amount of money for Dress for Success.

There will be 7 models and I am excited to say that my hairdresser, Sara Celina at Red in Birmingham, voted the top stylist by Fox 2, is going to create some fabulous dos for the show.

Also Elizabeth from Elizabeth's Head to Toe in Birmingham will be enhancing their glamor with some edgy eye popping make up.

Don't forget to text Britchic to 411669 to win a tee shirt. Must be present at the show to win.

Also bring your donations of new hosiery and used accessories to the show.

Thanks. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Cheerio for now.
