Inner Glo Launch Party

Inner Glo is a glamorous new social-networking event for Mums in Manchester and Cheshire

Last Thursday Pixie hosted a summer launch party for this brand-new event, aimed at Mums who want to hold on to or regain their ‘Inner Glo’.

Inclement July weather didn’t dampen the spirits of 40-50 Mums, who braced the Manchester drizzle, to enjoy an evening of pampering and re-styling by holistic therapists, hairdressers and make-up artists. Designer beachwear label Rosemary Twang (as featured in The Sunday Times Style supplement) helped get everyone in the mood for the beach this summer, with gorgeous Kaftans and jewelled sandals.

Inner Glo is an excuse to make new business contacts, learn a new skill, meet interesting people, dress up and have fun! Inner Glo members will be able to access a range of member benefits and make use of an exclusive network of trusted partners.

Forthcoming events include career coaching for Mums, wellbeing sessions and a Burlesque inspired Christmas Party.

Queen of Shops

Mary Queen of Shops (9.00pm on BBC2) is compulsive viewing. Every week, as I watch Mary Portas turnaround the fortunes of failing businesses, I am reminded why I love retail.
Retail is hard work, involves unsociable hours and can be unpredictable. It is also challenging, creative, fun, and hugely rewarding, especially when you get positive feedback (as we frequently do). There is a real buzz when someone leaves the shop as a satisfied customer, who has enjoyed every minute of their experience.
Tonight Portas talked about engaging with the customer. At Pixie we are in the highly privileged position of engaging with the children too!

Sizzling Summer Sale at Pixie

It is a bit crazy this fashion business, just as the sun comes out, we start clearing the decks for some fab new clothes for Autumn/Winter.
We have plunged the depths of our stock room to uncover lots of hidden Pixie treasures. It is definitely worth popping in for a rummage.

Glamour in the City

We love a bit of glamour at Pixie and we know our customers do too. We are still reeling from the sparkling evening we spent with our customers and Fiona and Penny from Boodles, and this week we were pictured next to Peter Hook , Henry Holland and Jackson Scott in Drapers magazine - the Fashion Industry bible. We made the gossip pages for party we held to celebrate the launch of our new website.



I keep picking up pieces from I Love Gorgeous and lamenting the fact that they only do kiddie sizes. We have received a few new pieces this week, and even if they don't do adult sizes, at least our children can look gorgeous!

A fabulous bag adds a touch of glamour to any outfit and Storksak's beautiful Elizabeth Bag oozes style from every cleverly hidden compartment.

Glamorous Events...

Finally, keep an eye on the website and in the Blog for details of some very glamorous events coming up for mums and mums to be. We are working closely with Glo Family and The Eclectic Hotel Collection to bring you regular interesting, informative and stylish events, in luxurious surroundings. If you have any pregnant friends, ask them to email us and we will keep them informed about what is happening and when.

Pixie & Boodles

On Thursday 1st May 2008 we celebrated the launch of our new website in style with a dazzling evening of shopping and fun at our exclusive Didsbury Boutique.

Boodles were on hand to add some sparkle to the event and busy Mums & Dads took a well-earned break to enjoy a glass of champagne, canapés and some uninterrupted shopping.

Funds were raised for Francis House Children’s Hospice, with generous prizes donated by Boodles, The Eclectic Hotel Collection, Living Ventures and Baby Loves Disco.

Super Cool Pixies

We had a great afternoon at Baby Loves Disco in Manchester last weekend. Fashion conscious kids boogied the afternoon away and I couldn't help spotting a few Dandy Star T-Shirts mixed with Levi's and Converse trainers. I am loving this look as it is super cool, cute and totally wearable! A little girl came into the shop last week in a stripey dress, leggings, Converse and a dinky denim jacket by Levi's. Denim jackets are making a big fashion comeback, it is great to see that Pixie kids are already showing they are a step ahead of the rest!

New Pixie Website!

15th April 2008

Now the brand new Pixie website is up and running, we are looking forward to sharing our passion for clothes and our sense of fun with you. We have been searching the globe for fab products that you and your children will love and that will conjure up memories through the associations they have with growing up. Mini Converse trainers, tiny Levi's and first wellies become lasting keepsakes and are too precious to part with. Red Converse Boots have become hugely popular as they are sported by David Tennant in Dr Who. We still have a few pairs left but be quick...they are selling like hot cup-cakes!

This week we have come across two two very different, but very exciting websites that could enhance the lives of you and your family, and provide hours of fun!

Baby Loves is a monthly afternoon dance party for parents and their children from 6mths - 7yrs. The fun spills out from all corners of the coolest club in town: real DJ's playing real music, bubble machines, egg shakers, dance scarves, chill out area, face painting, nappy changing stations, a full spread of healthy snacks, juice boxes and LOTS of dancing. But at its core Baby Loves Disco is a community event that brings kids together with kids and parents together with parents guaranteed to be the best time you've had at a kid's event.....!
