I don't like shopping! I needed an outfit for a wedding (my wedding!) So I booked a Personal Shopper in the Eldon Square, Newcastle upon Tyne store. I went at the appointed time ,with great trepidation. I was met by Krista and was immediately put at ease. She served me coffee and had a whole rack of dresses and jackets ready for me to try. I didn't at any point feel in the least way obliged to purchase any thing. Krista emphasised that I must several times that I had to feel comfortable with whatever I chose. She brought a second huge rack of garments....I ended up buying not only a dress and jacket (the dress much to my surprise was by far and away the cheapest I tried on at £20.00!) but also a second Coast jacket, plus 2 pairs of Jasper Conran trousers ALL in their very wonderful sale! After a further cup of coffee, I was presented with Clarins goody bags for both myself and my partner! I cannot praise the service highly enough. The pain has been taken out of shopping! And you do get an honest opinion from your personal shopper.
