Being treated like a princess at St Frock

March 21, 2011 Carly Findlay 21 Comments

 

On Perfect Day 1 in Sydney, I went shopping. One of my lovely blog readers/Facebook friends, Sandradee, owns a shop in Pyrmont called St Frock. She invited me to St Frock, and so Lanelle and I went on the bus to see her. We winged it on our travels, not sure where we were going, until we saw this, nestled in a cute terrace shopping strip!

I shrieked and asked the bus driver to stop! We jumped off and headed inside.

St Frock is a beautiful store. It’s luxurious and girly and magical.

It stocks funky and affordable labels such as Love & Lies, Kylie Hawkes, Gingham & Heels, Mok Theorem, White Euphoria, Maria de Guzman, Erin Louise, Sage, By Cherry, Mink Pink, Staple The Label and JUNK.

This amazing blossom tree lit up the window and featured delicate necklaces hanging from its branches.

 

Lanelle loved the tree. How beautiful is this picture?!

 There were butterflies and autumn leaves on the walls. So pretty.

 

And post-it hearts as a wall decoration.

The puppy was wearing an aviation jacket because Friday was photoshoot day, and a model was wearing an aviation jacket too.

Sandradee is so so so wonderful. She made us feel welcome, and was such a good hostess in the store. She has an inspirational story – following her dream to open a store after a life changing moment. She has a hard work ethic – her Pyrmont store opens seven days a week, she also sells online, and does markets on weekends.
And she is so very generous.

Sandradee treated me to some gifts in the store. She said she is inspired by me. I was honoured.
She gave me these beautiful clothes, and a unicorn necklace.

I felt like a princess. I was helped into the clothes by Sandradee, and was photographed by Lanelle. So very special.

I wore the clothes both nights I was in Sydney – pictures to come.

Thank you so much for the generosity and great service, Sandradee and the St Frock girls. I loved the experience ♥ I am honoured and still smiling.

You should all visit St Frock at 190 Harris Street, Pyrmont, NSW, Australia, or online.
