RIGHT. 👀 It is THIRTY FIVE DEGREES in Horsham.
Now. I am a menopausal woman who runs a boutique with no air con. I am ALREADY a one-woman radiator on a good day. Add a British heatwave on top of that and frankly I am a HAZARD. The thermometer hit 35° and my body said “hold my HRT.” 🔥😂

So I’ve shut the boutique Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th June. Not because I’m a diva. Because I would GENUINELY melt behind that till and nobody wants to see that. Nobody.
BUT. I know exactly how to keep YOU cool — swipe through and let me show you 👆

AND THEN because I love you and because perimenopause has given me absolutely zero chill (ironically) — here’s 20% off EVERYTHING online. No minimum. No faff. Just use code HEATWAVE20 at checkout.

Ends midnight Thursday 25th June. ONE OFF. Don’t ask me in next week 😂

📦 Free postage over £50

🛍️ We’ll be back open Friday and Saturday 10:30–5pm with your orders ready and waiting

Now go sit in your paddling pool and shop
😘

Stay stylish, Donna ❤️

Heatwave must have dresses

18/06/2026

FACEBOOK … ARE YOU BROKEN OR WHAT? 👀

Apparently nobody sees anyone’s posts anymore, so let’s do a little experiment…

If this Reel has landed on your feed, drop a HI in the comments.

That’s it.

No need to buy a dress.
No need to follow me.
No need to stalk my website at 11pm and accidentally fill your basket. 😂

Just say HI and let me know you’re out there.

Now onto the important bit…

THIS DRESS. ☀️

Because the heatwave has arrived, the sun is sunning, and if you’re panic-buying outfits five minutes before a holiday… I’ve got you.

The boutique is packed with summer dresses, holiday outfits, occasionwear and easy-to-wear women’s fashion that will have people asking, “Where did you get that?”

📍 Horsham boutique open
💻 Online store open 24/7
🔥 New arrivals landing constantly

So tell me…

Are you local to Horsham or are you watching from somewhere much more glamorous than West Sussex? 😏

And if you’ve read this far and don’t say HI, we’re no longer friends. 🤣👇

Stay stylish, Donna ❤️

Serving summer sparkle straight from the garden... and this My Doris drop is an absolute mood.

Summer style is all about the extras. Fewer layers, simpler outfits, bigger accessory moments. A tee, a dress, a bit of sunshine... then boom - add bold jewellery and the whole look comes alive.

This new collection is fun, joyful, colourful and full of personality, with under the sea themed jewellery and cocktail clutches from My Doris bringing all the playful summer vibes.

Also guest starring, as usual: Romulous the Daniff, who refuses to miss a filming opportunity and is clearly angling for his own contract.

And do you remember Police Academy? The bar was called the Blue Oyster, wasn’t it? 😉

Shop the new My Doris summer collection now on the website before your favourites are gone.

WOWZERS! 🤩 What a LIVE that was!

So many gorgeous pieces SOLD OUT during today’s live, and honestly, you lot are just incredible! Thank you for making it another bonza week for me. Every order, every comment, every share and every bit of support means the absolute world. ❤️

I'm already trying to restock some of our amazing styles because they flew out faster than I could blink! 👀 If I can get them back in, you'll be the first to know.

If you don't want to miss out on new arrivals, bestselling fashion, limited stock pieces and exclusive live offers, make sure you join me LIVE every Saturday at 10am. That's where all the action happens and once they're gone, they're often gone!

Thank you for supporting my small business week after week. You really are the best customers a girl could wish for. 🥰

If you’ve ever worked in a fashion boutique or small retail business, you’ll know customers say things daily that genuinely send us into cardiac arrest 😂

“Do you have this in my size?”
…while holding the size.

“I’ll come back tomorrow.”
Absolutely babe. See you in another lifetime x

“I saw one like this online for £14.”
And I saw a roast dinner in a petrol station once. Doesn’t mean we should all lower our standards.

Then somehow leave with:
✨ a co-ord
✨ a bag you definitely didn’t come in for
✨ earrings “just to finish the outfit”
✨ and a completely different financial situation

Fashion boutique owners… what’s the WORST thing you’ve ever heard someone say in a shop? 👇😂

ALSO… don’t forget to vote for us in the Muddy Stilettos Awards for Best Fashion & Lifestyle in Sussex 🖤
Last time I checked we were doing VERY well and honestly I could cry . Link in bio 😭

Stay stylish, Donna ❤️
