    0 comments / Posted by Janet Carlisle

    Mimi & Thomas is proud to support a local Leicestershire based charity- Hope Against Cancer at their annual fashion show on 16th November 2017.

    All my models (6 yummy mummy friends and my niece) volunteer to strut their stuff down the runway in 2 sets of catwalk, modelling my cashmere ponchos, travel wraps, True Cashmere knitwear and leather travel clutch and bags!
    We helped raising money for Hope Against Cancer and the evening was enjoyed by all.

    It is our first time as a stallholder to attend the prestigious 15th annual charity Christmas fair at Holme Pierrepont Hall in Nottingham on 15th & 16th November 2017. It was kindly organised by the Brackenbury family to raise funds for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People.


    10% of our sales commission was donated to Rainbows Hospice. It was a fantastic opportunity for our customers to feel and try on our 100% cashmere knitwear and travel wraps we have on offer. Thanks for having us and we look forward to attending again next year.

    Who would you invite to your dinner party?

    I would invite Big Ang from Mob Wives.I admire her unwavering confidence, flamboyant style and she's hilarious. She sadly passed away last year but she was the life and soul of any party.

    My top 3 hair care tips: 

    1. Have fun with your hair. No matter what length hair you have there are so many fun ways you can wear it. Look at YouTube for tutorials on how to style your hair.

    2. Good blonde hair is unbeatable. The perfect shade of blonde can take time to achieve, especially if you are transitioning from dark hair.
    Persevere and look after your blonde hair and the results will be worth it.
    A professionally coloured blonde in great condition looks expensive.

    3. Towel-dry your hair before applying conditioner, it's a simple one but you will get so much more benefit from your conditioner by doing this!

    What is your perfect pizza?

    My perfect pizza is Chicken BBQ from Papa Johns but I am also obsessed with Papa Johns special garlic dip!

    If you ruled the world, what’s the first thing you would do?

    I would make guns illegal everywhere.

    Happiness is…

    Being curled up on the sofa with my fiancee and dogs watching trashy tv with a Gin and Tonic.

    Your best pick of Mimi & Thomas products is

    My best pick of Mimi and Thomas products would be the Verity Leather cross body purse. I love the unique design with the option of detaching the two parts. It's so
    versatile as you can use it as an everyday practical purse, a classy clutch
    or simply combine them together as a crossbody.

    Hope Charity Fashion Show at Leicester Bentley

    My morning beauty regime...
    I cleanse, tone and moisturize every morning without fail.

    Which models did you look up to when you started?
    I love models like Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Karlie Koss who are doing other ambitious things along side they're modelling, they're focused girls and I think they're great role models.

    How do you stay in shape?
    I love walking in the countryside because its what I've grown up around, I most enjoy weight training.

    Soundtrack of my life
    This is hard because I can't go a day without listening to music. If I had to choose one song that's Guaranteed to make me dance, its 'I bet you look good on the dance floor' by Arctic Monkeys.

    Your dream holiday
    Another hard one as seeing the world is such a dream, but it would have to be somewhere extreme like seeing the river dolphins in the rainforest. I love adventure holidays.

    Your best pick of Mimi & Thomas product is

    VERITY leather cross body because its so smart and diverse and I love the shape. It's the perfect day to night bag.
