Win a fabulous fashion make-over....
with Love Is boutique and The Index Magazine

KEEN TO KEEP that summer-sunshine feeling all year round, with a spring in your step and a glamorous glow? With our help, it’s possible! The Index Magazine has teamed up with local independent fashion boutique Love Is to offer one lucky reader that chance to win a fantastic make-over. The winner will receive not only an outfit from the boutique worth £150, but a day’s fashion styling session with Colour Me Beautiful image expert Jane Osborn, a new hair-do from Mario of the Gallery in Southborough, and a manicure and pedicure courtesy of Beauté, Tunbridge Wells.

In the six months since it opened, Love Is has built up a reputation as a one-off destination for any woman looking for something really special to wear, whatever the occasion. The store – located at Church Road, Tunbridge Wells, stocks a range of new, pre-loved and vintage fashions, beautifully arranged over four rooms and with a variety of styles, sizes and colours on offer – all brought together under the expert eye of owner Paula Fry. “I know from my own experience that women want clothing that reflects their personalities and lifestyles, that are as individual as they are, and that's what we offer at Love Is.

“We’re so pleased to have teamed up not only with The Index, but with three other experts in their fields: Jane, Mario and Rebecca Mihalceanu of Beauté, to offer a truly unique experience,” says Paula. “We know it’ll make the special woman who wins look – and feel – even more special!”
