A new concept for Kelso - Joanne Ayling - opened its doors last week showcasing pre-owned designer-wear alongside brand new fashion accessories for the discerning diva in town. No two visits will be the same as vintage and retro styles mix with the pizzazz of the new to create one-off outfits for the festive season, and beyond. If you live near-by, make sure you pay a visit before committing yourself to an outfit from anywhere else!

So, it has to be said, I’m not sure what all the panic is about seeing as I have nine-whole-months to plan my wedding. A baby could be born in that amount of time (not that we’re planning that anytime soon)
I mean, the key things are done - venue, photographer, rings - and more importantly, the groom! However I woke up this morning at the crack of dawn (around 8.30am, which is pretty early for me at the weekend), and couldn’t stop thinking about wedding plans. By 9am I was sitting at my laptop searching for florists, bands and delighting at the many styles, colours and shapes of wedding cake available to me.
Within an hour I had booked a beautiful hotel for myself and my bridesmaids to stay in the night before the wedding (complete with pool, spa, spacious rooms and stunning views), contacted a prospective music supplier, narrowed the search for footwear down to two choices, contacted the local florist and enquired about a cake! Phew! I also have a bridal appointment next week at my chosen dress boutique - the second viewing of a dress I coveted from the moment it encased my hips and turned me into a 1950’s hollywood starlet.
It’s all suddenly happening in the ‘wedding zone’, so I must get off and write up all my latest plans in the wedding planner…
