I love shopping. I mean I really love shopping – always have, always will.

The thrill of the hunt searching through clearance racks to find that ‘steal’, spending hours looking for the perfect earrings to go with a new top... just thinking about it gives me goose bumps.

Imagine my delight when I stepped into La Chic and realised that all I could ever want and more was in this boutique.

A treasure chest of shirts, pants, dresses... I assessed the situation and decided the vast array of blouses was the perfect starting point.

Within minutes I was immersed in all the latest colours and styles of shirts for work and play.

Once the top part was taken care of it was time to work on the bottom half. Should I go with the cool slacks, stylish jeans, or cute skirt that could be used for both for work or a night out? Decisions, decisions.

The decision making process becomes even more difficult, if that’s possible, as I decide to peruse the dress section, only too happy to find once again an abundance of choices.

Will it be one of the gorgeous, sexy long gowns for those upcoming holiday parties, or maybe a more practical cocktail dress that is likely to see more use?

As I stand there trying to decide between practical and impractical, my eyes fall on the wall of shoes.

High heels, low heels, no heels, sandals – they are all there just waiting to enhance that new outfit.

It’s not just the diversity, with styles that range from American to Asian, that makes La Chic a shopaholic’s dream, it’s the quality and affordability of clothes and accessories.

As I walk up to the cashier I take a detour.

Handbags of every shape, size, and colour line one entire wall just waiting to be grabbed and tried on for size.

Of course you can’t leave without jewellery.

Conveniently located near the cashiers counter, once again you’ll find a wide array of pieces from practical everyday wear to jazz up a work outfit to the more elegant for those night’s out with friends and holiday parties.

Take it from a shopaholic – this is one-stop shopping experience you don’t want to miss.   WH
