SPLASH TOP SHOP TIPS

Go Go
Go alone, Go early. Beat the shopping traffic and get a head start while
it’s quiet. Although it’s tempting to make a day of it and bring a friend or your
partner, they will only distract you from your mission.
Go Pro 
 Shop with a personal stylist this way you reap all the benefits of shopping! You get expert advice about what styles, key items and colours work for you. You spend less time moseying around wondering what to buy. You leave happy, stress free and delighted with you new look. A total no brainer.
You’re not a fruit
Contrary to popular belief not all stylists liken their clients shape to a fruit. "She's an apple figure...you’re a pear" NO! You’re a celebrity. Celebs always look glam and fab, but just like us they are all human beings right? And all different shapes and sizes. Think of a celebs style you admire or one who has a similar figure to you and model yourself on them. This will help you to pick items that flatter not fatter...compliment not complicate.
Research
The old saying goes if you fail to plan, you plan to fail! And it is sooooooo true. Look online before you head out and be a step ahead with your shopping. List the shops that have what you want and conquer those first.
Who are ya 
 Know your store! Each store caters to a specific consumer from teeny bopper to career woman, find where you fit and what works for you! Guaranteed once you identify your store you will always find what you are looking for there.
Work your charm
Make friends with the store manager! This is when a quick hello every time you pop in and a little banter can serve you well. Show some interest in new season collections and next they’ll be telling you the shirt you’re about to buy is on sale next week.
