BECKY HAS THE LOOK
Gift card prizes at The Centre
Autumn is on the horizon and already the new season’s offerings are tempting shoppers at The Centre, Livingston.
Six stylish shoppers were selected to share their fabulous new purchases in return for a Gift Card worth £25, courtesy of The Centre, which can be used in over 70 stores and all restaurants.
And all six pictures will appear on the Shop The Centre Facebook page today ( Thursday) and the picture which receives the most likes over a period of 48 hours will receive another £100 Gift Card from The Centre.
The first person to catch the Style Squad’s eye was Sheila Walker ( 56) from Livingston. Sheila is a supervisor in the catering department of St John’s Hospital and came to The Centre looking for a fancy dress outfit for a 60th birthday party.
Sheila said: “I knew that I wanted something fun for the party and I found just what I was looking for in River Island and the great thing is that I can dress it up with a pink wig and accessories for the party but it’s versatile enough to wear again.”
The next stylish shopper was Becky Thom ( 23) from Lanark, who is a wedding and events executive at the New Lanark Mill Hotel.
She came to The Centre to enjoy a leisurely afternoon shopping with her boyfriend and said: “We’ve been for a late lunch and managed to pick up a couple of great buys at the shops and got this brilliant hoodie from Superdry.”
The Street Style Squad couldn’t resist checking out the purchases of Liam McEwan (13) from Livingston, who was shopping with his mum Lynsey. Liam, a second year student at Broxburn Academy, had just been to the dentist for a tooth extraction and his mum thought a little retail therapy might help his recovery.
Lynsey said: “Liam’s had his eye on these shoes for a while now – they’re the perfect way to cheer him up after his dentist appointment.” The next shopper with a passion for fashion we spoke to was Jemma Baillie (20) from Falkirk. Jemma is a customer service advisor at Thomas Cook and visited The Centre with her boyfriend Craig in search of the perfect outfit for a night out in town. Jemma said: “I knew that I would find just what I was looking for at The Centre – plus a few things I wasn’t looking for! I’m going home with new make-up, eyelashes and a gorgeous dress.” Next on the style radar was Jenna Murrell ( 24) from Livingston. She and her husband Owen have just got back from honeymoon after getting married in South Queensferry and are spending the rest of their time off relaxing and shopping. Jenna said: “We’re getting a puppy so we’re enjoying looking for dog toys. I was also having a wardrobe dilemma earlier, so I was really pleased to find this outfit in Topshop.” The final lucky shopper was 71-year-old Allan Lindsay from Innerleithen. Allan and his wife visit The Centre regularly as they like the wide range of shops and on this occasion were looking for a dress shirt for an upcoming wedding. Allan said: “We couldn’t resist getting this jacket – it started off at £99 but with an extra 10 per cent off the sale price we only paid £29.80.” Jennifer Bruce, The Centre’s marketing manager, said: “It’s wonderful to hear that our shoppers are confident they’ll find just what they need in The Centre. They’ve certainly picked up some great pieces, from the latest fashions to something for the home, which are sure to be a stylish update ready for the autumn-winter season.”
