The Flyer New Lines at Mie-Style The proprietors of the new ladies boutique in Bishops Stortford, MIEStyle, are delighted that their first two months of trading have got off to a flying start. Tracey Calvert and Susannah Downey say that their feet have hardly touched the ground since they opened their doors at MIE-Style on 23rd April and business is strong. Described by social media followers as a cross between Zara and All Saints, Bishop of St Albans Harvest Appeal launches in Sawbridgeworth The Hailey Centre was privileged to launch, in Sawbridgeworth, the Bishop of St. Albans Harvest Appeal, Water Aid in Madagascar. The Bishop of Hertford, the Rt Rev Dr Michael Beasley together with his Appeal staff joined Hailey Centre visitors for a fun morning, decorating cup-cakes in the colours of the Madagascan flag which were then put together to create their National Flag. Sawbridgeworth Town Council kindly provided the facility to enable our visitors to hear a short talk and see a video detailing how providing clean, safe water transforms lives in rural Madagascar. A lunch followed which included Madagascan vanilla cheesecake and was thoroughly enjoyed by 40 local residents, including the Rural Dean, Rev. Anthony Giles, the new Chairman of East Herts District Council, Cllr Ken Croften, District Cllrs, Angela Alder and Eric Buckmaster and Sawbridgeworth Town Mayor, Cllr David Royale. The Raffle raised £100.00 and will be presented to the Bishop as the first donation to the Water Aid Appeal. P le a s e m e n t i o n ‘ T h e F l yer ’ wh en r esp o n d in g t o ad ver t isements MIE-Style aims to dress ladies of all shapes and sizes to feel comfortable and stylish, practical but feminine and with a splash of originality too. Some of the ranges sold include, Suzy D, Annonyme, Nu, Cako, Onjenu, P.K Berry, HW2, Charli and leather by Georgio Paris, all of which have been carefully selected so that MIE-Style can offer daywear to evenings at prices to suit all. Tracey and Susannah have also recently taken on a concession of Hipanema beachwear, bikinis, bags, hats and jewellery, which are all proving very popular with holiday goers, and which sit nicely with their own designs of kaftans which are handmade in the UK. New items come in on an almost weekly basis to keep the look of the shop fresh, so there is always something new for people to see when they come in to browse around. Styling appointments can be arranged for anyone who would like some personal help with selecting items that would flatter them the most. Looking ahead to Autumn/Winter, the stock will range in size from XS to XL, so there should be something for everyone. MIE-Style believes that women of every size should be able to buy lovely clothes and look good! A fashion show for new stock for A/W 16 is being planned in conjunction with a local Breast Cancer Charity that both Susannah and Tracey support. The ladies at MIE-Style would like to thank everybody who has come into the shop in the last two months and look forward to welcoming back existing customers and meeting new ones.
