This wasn't exactly the view from my car but I did see the amazing Glastonbury Tor as I made my way to Clarks Village Outlet Shopping to select clothing for the shoot in Wells. The Somerset countryside is stupendous and mile upon mile of undulating roads, green fields and glorious villages. No wonder Alice Temperley has her country home here and hosts an annual cider party
The outlet is in Street and is host to various high street stores and independent retailers. I had great fun 'shopping' selecting the outfits for the A/W and Christmas Party promotional shoot.
I was also really impressed at the potential to make some real savings. I had pulled together a theme and ideas to focus my collation of stock for the photo shoot and I managed most of my wish list. One dress I selected from Coast was down from £300 odd to £98 and it was beautiful embroidered 1920s style dress. An outlet village does provide a great opportunity for bargains but I think you should have a list to keep you on budget and be prepared for a few surprise gems.
Wells, was a great location for the shoot although I did have quite a few Hot Fuzz moments which amused the model and PR person. The Swan Hotel itself was gorgeous and the staff were so helpful and accommodating that the shoot went like a dream - not like my dream's prior to the work.
