Trunk Show

http://www.stateofgraceboutique.com/

Last night I hosted a trunk show for Amanda Barton, entrepreneur, fashonista, and owner of State of Grace boutique in Bryn Mawr. Amanda is an older sister of one of my good high school friends, but now I can truly call her a friend of mine as well. Not only is her shop so cute, but the items are well priced and reasonable! Another bonus is that Amanda is truly so personable! Whether you are at her store or a trunk show she is right there to help, but not in that awkward, pushy way where you want the person to leave you alone. And there is seriously no pressure to actually buy anything, which is nice!

I have never been to a trunk show, so it was cool to experience it first hand. She brought over a ton of jeans, clutches, jewelry, tees, and then a HUGE rack of clothes! Then the guests came and went as the pleased; hopefully finding an item they liked, munching on a few snacks, and a glass of wine... at first I was a little nervous because I was the only one "wining", which one again made me feel like the true wino I am, but by the end the remaining women and myself were enjoying a quite conversation and glass of wine after our purchases!

My purchases:

Fidelity Denim Scoop Skinny Jeans

Loveappella Multi-Use Scarf

* I can't find it online anywhere, but it is AMAZING! So it's all one piece, attached in a circle and you can wear it long or double it up for a more snuggly look, you can apparently wear it as a "hoody" or even a wrap! It's amazing!

Priorities Boyfriend Blazer

* This picture does NOT do the blazer justice at all.. it's really cute and especially unbuttoned. It was definitely the HOT commodity last night!

Gold Necklace with small initial pendant

Can't find the right one online for a picture, but it is what I have been looking for everywhere! I just wanted a small, classic gold piece that I could wear everyday!

Home Style: Personalized Stamps


Not only are these personalized stamps SO cute and help spruce up that 'love letter' (or bill) your sending, but super easy to use and very affordable. I have the hand writing equivalent to a a 3rd grader. Let's just say I didn't 'earn my ink' in fourth grade (AIS girls you KNOW what I am talking about... for the rest of you- if you had 'pretty' and legible cursive you were able to use a pen instead of a pencil and that just wasn't in my cards!). So, it was always a process for me to try my hardest to have neat handwriting on my envelopes. I mean after taking 10 minutes to 'address' my envelop without having my letters droop diagonally down the page and make sure my print is neat so my envelope doesn't end up in Zimbabwe I only had so much patience to put up our return address. AND I will admit for awhile I was using those little sticky return addresses, but then the guilt just finally overtook me that I was using them and not donating to the charity that "sent" them to me.. PHEW it feels SO much better now that I have confessed that! SO.. my cute alternative- the personalized stamp!

I'd put mine up, but I'd rather not have my address all over the internet- especially since I'm a big time blogger now and have stalkers, haha I wish!!! I got mine at our local Swoozie's (The 'new' Blue Tulip), but here's the website just in case: http://www.psaessentials.com/
