For any of you who have ever bought anything at our events from the wonderful Jane Horwood of Preloved Pop-up & Blog | Cambridge Chic, PLEASE READ this post.
Jane has been curating a rail of sequin dreams at our events for the past few years, bringing her inimitable style and incredible selection of glorious party clothes that have added essential sparkle and joy to our parties. Last month, Jane had to close Trash Chic due to her diagnosis of secondary breast cancer. “Having had breast cancer two and a half years ago, at the end of August I found out it had moved into my spine, which was an incredible shock. I decided to close Trash Chic to focus on my health and wanted to sell my remaining stock for a good cause.’ The charity sale will take place at the Grand Arcade on Saturday, October 24th; 10am - 5pm. There will be incredible sparkly bargains (all 50% off) and many more cool and stylish items. Everything must go, and all proceeds will support cancer services in Cambridge. Jane would also like everyone to know, ‘If there’s one message I want to share, it’s this: if you’ve had breast cancer and experience any new and unexplained symptoms – in my case, back pain – insist on a referral to a specialist who can get you in for an MRI. In the end, after months of worsening pain, I paid for a private MRI; if I hadn’t, who knows if or when the cancer would have been found.’
If you can comment here and let Jane and the team know you will be coming along, that would mean a great deal. Let’s raise some money, grab some fashion bargains and support Jane!
