Personal shopping session for Mary

Lucky Luton lady Mary Dadari who won first prize in The Mall's Fall for Me competition

Mary Dadari, 37, of Strathmore Avenue scooped the top prize of a personal shopping session with superstar stylist Karen Xavier, as well as two gift cards – £200 from The Mall and £50 from Blue Inc.

The University of Bedfordshire student, who’s just completed her Masters in project management, said: “I was absolutely delighted when I found out I’d won as things like that just don’t happen to me.

“I had an amazing day shopping with Karen. She helped me choose a smart outfit for my graduation – a jacket, trousers and top from H&M with shoes and accessories from Peacocks.

“I also bought a shirt for my husband from Blue Inc – and I’ve still got more vouchers to spend!”

Karen – who studied clothing management at the London School of Fashion and who’s appeared on GMTV and the BBC – said: “Nothing makes me happier than using my innate love and knowledge of styling to bring out someone’s true personality.

“I had a great time helping Mary spend her prize money. All the latest autumn/winter trends are already in the stores and there’s an amazing selection under one roof.

“As another treat, I booked Mary a make-up appointment with Bare Essentials at Debenhams and she looked beautiful”.

Mall marketing manager Lavinia Douglass said: “We’re thrilled Mary enjoyed her personal shopping trip.”
