Since moving to Edinburgh three years ago, Miss Dixiebelle has always been one of my favourite shops. So when I got invited to their relaunch party I was deeeeelighted to go, pin curls and eyeliner flicks at the ready.
After three and a half years of business Miss Dixiebelle has gone from strength to strength with their amazing vintage makeup and hair salon attached to the shop, pop up beauty stands here there and everywhere, and now the Cutiecool Nails nail bar, essential for those half moon manicures!
The shop boasts an incredible range of clothing from vintage inspired designers as well as reproduction clothing and have now adapted the range to suit their customers even better.
I am a massive fan of the "What Katie Did" range, a collection of high quality British hosiery and steel boned corsetry, with their seamed stockings even managing to stretch up my lamp post legs.

The biggest change within Miss Dixiebelle is the brand new hairdressing salon upstairs, decorated in a 1950s inspired style with Hollywood lit mirrors, pastel pink walls (with flamingos!) and timeless vintage dryers to complete the look.
Now as well as being able to get your hair done into a fabulous vintage style for a night out or event, Miss Dixiebelle now offers colouring and wet sets, as well as a full blown pamper package, with new recruit Angela having 20 years in the hairdressing business.

Those who were lucky enough to be invited to the relaunch event were greeted with teacups of prosecco and cranberry juice and a preview of the revamped salon, including learning about the ins and outs of all the new services on offer. It was lovely to meet like minded vintage style lovers, there was some great style on show to say the least, with the Miss Dixiebelle gals looking as glamorous as ever!
Cake stands filled to the brim with treats from the Marshmallow Lady were passed around, KEY LIME PIE MARSHMALLOWS ANYONE?!
I received a jam packed goodie bag to take home with more of those scrumptious marshmallows inside (oreo flavour. Need I say more?), a voucher for Cutiecool Nails, lotions and potions from Just Be Botanicals as well as a Miss Dixiebelle points card, to reward all of our spending!
I am so ridiculously excited to come into Miss Dixiebelle, hopefully in the next week, to have my nails done by the lovely Zara of Cutiecool Nails. A nervous nibbler, I've longed for proper lady like nails instead of my square brittle stubs and there seems to be nothing Zara cannot do to totally transform even the worst nails. Watch this space, kitty gon' get her claws.
