Last Tuesday I was invited to attending the pre re-opening night of Secret Shhh’s flagship store in Chadstone, and I have to admit I was rather flattered and excited to receive the invite. It would be my first non-beauty related event, and being able to better embrace the fashion aspect of my blog (which I know is still in its infancy) is something I’ve always wanted to do (hi, have you seen the title of my blog lately? 😉
I asked Violet if she would be my plus one, I love spending time with her and had a feeling she would appreciate the stunning jewellery 😀 Luckily she accepted!
Not only was this Secret Shhh’s store re-opening, it was also the launch of their new “Cocktail Fever” range for Spring / Summer 2011/12. Check out the photos taken by the very talented Jimmy below to get a real taste of how vibrant and colourful this collection is.
These are some amazing cocktail rings, perfect for the upcoming Melbourne Cup races, spring fashion and even summer nights.
Live music! Seriously how cool is this?
Magnetic wall, so that the image can be replaced often and with ease. Such a brilliant idea!
Yep, I go straight for the food… stay classy Celina 😛
Trying on a bracelet, isn’t it gorgeous? 😀
Violet’s future wedding and engagement ring… I mean NICE RINGS VIOLET!! No pressure Jimmy
With the owner of the store, she is such a lovely lady, when you visit the store you must say hi to her~ She’s an absolute delight and had the most interesting stories to tell. In fact she once had a Princess from Burma visit and virtually buy out the entire store to bring home gifts for her family and friends…. wish I had a friend who was a princess :O
With the lovely Gemma who helped organise the evening 🙂
Violet and I with our gift bags 🙂 The ladies at Secret Shhh were incredibly kind, accommodating and just so lovely to talk to. I can’t wait to go back and explore the rest of their range.
I love that all the jewellery is set at an affordable price, high enough so you know you’re getting quality, but low enough so that you won’t have a heart attack if for some reason you suddenly lose your ring (as opposed to the heart attack I nearly got after almost losing the diamond necklace my dad gave me X-x; Which I now never wear and keep locked away)
Secret Shhh were kind enough to gift us with a pair of stud earrings, unfortunately I don’t have pierced ears (because I’m a chicken and I’m not afraid to admit that) But I had to take it home first to show you how pretty they were!
I plan to give them to Violet, a girl can never have too much jewellery 😀
The other gift was this adorable compact mirror, which I do intend to keep and use!
And of course chocolate, the store owner is so amazing that she even gave Jimmy his own gift bag! So of course I took all of his chocolate… cause I’m a good friend like that ;D Looking out for Jimmy’s health and all….
All in all, it was truly a fantastic night. Poor Violet was ill that evening, but you can’t even tell in the photos because we had the best night 🙂 If you get the chance, drop by and check out the store! 😀 The new design is pretty impressive~
If you are reading this Gemma, thank you so much for the lovely invite 🙂 It was an amazing experience!
I probably sound quite daft, but I’ve never even heard of that secrets store before. I’m not big on jewellery, but the gifts you got were gorgeous! What are their prices like?
No not at all! I can’t myself admit to knowing all the stores out there myself 🙂 Esp since you aren’t big on jewellery! Thank you, the prices for say rings ranged from 100-400, depending on the design, cut etc. So not uber cheap, but not too bad if say you’re getting something special 🙂
What a lovely event! And the gifts you got are beautiful!
Thank you, they are far too generous, I’m very grateful 🙂
Awwh what lovely gifts! I’ve seen a couple of their stores up here on the Gold Coast. 🙂
I love that photo of you and Violet with the food, you look like a woman on a mission haha.
Ooh, Secret Shhh actually originated up in Noosa I think! Not too far from Gold Coast 😀 Ahaha, yes, when Celina is hungry, nothing gets between me and food :9
What beautiful jewellery, I can never get enough of looking at sparkly things! Looks like you girls had fun 🙂
It’s mesmerising isn’t it!? I’m like a bird “ooh shiny!”
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh my god I laughed so hard at this, you totally are a good friend saving Jimmy’s health like that XD Thanks for bringing me, you make a great event buddy 😀
hehehe, my pleasure! You make the best event buddy 😀
Yes. THANKS Celina. 😐 jk =)
hehe, I gotcha back 😀
