One thing I have found myself enjoying more the older I get, are more intimate shopping experiences. I guess what I love even more than that is buying things that are locally-made, making them truly one of a kind. Markets and Pop-up stores have become quite popular in the last few years for this very reason. I think most women enjoy the down to earth sophistication and exclusivity that these retail environments offer. Malls have their place sure, but if there’s a great market on, you can bet your bottom dollar to find me there. There’s just something so relaxing about them, compared to a busy, frantic mall that can feel a bit sterile and impersonal.

Pia’s Pop Ups, in collaboration with Trevor and Lindsay Keller Williams Realty, are no exception. In fact after visiting one her Pop Ups at Arambrook earlier this year, I can confidently say that the event was by far one of the most memorable. A truly world-class setting which, saw some of our countries top local artisans showcasing some really great products. I bought the most gorgeous jewellery at the last one and was so close to buying a pair of espadrilles, which of course I kicked myself for months after for not going with my gut. I mean, who am I even to turn down a good deal on a gorgeous pair of shoes? 🙂

Pia and her team have done such an extraordinary job selecting only the highest quality vendors, ensuring a high standard of offerings that women are bound to love. From clothing to jewellery to accessories and Stationary, there is something for everyone. And let’s not forgot the delicious coffee that will be served as well as the Gin tasting between 4pm and 6 pm. I mean, is this not every woman’s dream? Shopping while sipping on a G & T in the most gorgeous setting? A truly unique shopping experience.
