Designer Boot - Cardiff

Monday saw the return of the Designer Boot in Cardiff; a quarterly event that gives ladies a place to sell on high quality clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories and also a perfect opportunity to pick up a bargain.

I had never been to one before so I was excited to the prospect of finding a gorgeous designer piece at a fraction of what it was originally bought for, plus I just can’t resist a bargain!

Hosted at The Potted Pig and tickets costing £5 on the door (£3, if you get your name on the guest list), Designer Boot offers an avenue for ladies to streamline, and de-clutter their wardrobe, and thankfully for them, I was there to take some of their items off their hands!


With rails filled with beautiful designer dresses, tables laced with elegant jewellery pieces and shoes screaming to be filled with my feet, it was literally a haven for anyone who can appreciate beautiful clothing.
Also, there was a chance to have a bit of pampering too, courtesy of Liberty Spa, who were offering threading, lash extensions, manicure, pedicure and eyebrow shaping, all at discounted rates! :)

After getting a glass of wine from the bar, myself and my friend made our way around the sale and began to discover how inexpensive these pieces were, and couldn’t quite believe why they wanted to sell such lovely items!

After trying on masses of clothes, I decided I had to be sensible in what I decided to buy… otherwise I think I may have bought everything in sight! In the end I decided on the three fab pieces;

A striped Nicole Farhi cowl neck top (something which I have been looking for anyway!)


A Rod Beattie beach cover up (although, with the right accessories could be warn as a cute day dress too)




And a gorgeous, and probably my favourite Opera Prima feather clutch bag.


 All for a staggering price of £15! Amazing.

I cannot wait until March when the next Designer Boot hits Cardiff again. I highly recommend attending one, because you are sure to find a little treasure and it won’t cost you the earth either.


Here are a few pictures from the evening…
