for all you personal shoppingphobes

Just thought I'd let you know about my personal shopping experience with House of Fraser.

Won this with one of the radio stations & as it's a red letter day experience it's probably one that is most likely to be given as a prize.

I arrived a little early & was shown into the personal shopping suite to wait. Had a sit down on a really comfy sofa & read a few mags whilst I was waiting. My personal shopper was a lovely youngish lady (around 30ish would be my guess) she asked me a fre questions about what I was looking for & wen toff to chose some stuff. Some of the stuff she chose was gorgeous & some was horrid, if I didn't like something it was no problem. once I'd tried on a few items we went & had a look together to see if I could see anything I liked but she missed. It was like shopping with a friend really. Once I had decided on what I wanted I had a mini make-over ( OK one of the beauty counters did my eyes up) and a was given a goodie bag which included bath get & perfume samples.

It was painless - just like with shopping with a friend but without all the schlepping around the store. All the items I bought, a dress, trousers & top were ones that she had chosen!!

Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm only a "personal shoppingphobe" because I have a unique style and I'm very introverted, so if I was shown something I didn't like, I would feel like I would have to buy it!

Ah, well that's okay. I just have a very goth/alternative style so not many things in shops that I like (unless it's black and full of lace and skulls :P)

I'm glad you had a wonderful time, I think I would struggle with personal shoppers as I don't really buy for myself itms, I would be asking her to bring me little boys outfits for my son etc lol x
