Stilista|Boston & Madewell FUN

My lovely friend Marisa works for a fabulous Boston company called Stilista, which provides styling and personal shopping services.  She's asked me to spread the word that next Thursday, July 14, from 7-9pm, Stilista and Madewell Boston are co-hosting a private shopping party, and that YOU, my friends, are invited to attend!

The free event will feature Stilista's styling services, as well as sangria, cupcakes and discounts.  Fashion advice, dessert, cocktails and deals all in one place?  Pinch me.

Once a workwear company specializing in jeans, Madewell now features downtown-chic goodies from espadrilles to fedoras, as well as some of the sweetest summer dresses you could hope to get your hands on.  You also may have noticed their website popping up on your last visit to J.Crew.com, as Madewell is now part of the J.Crew group.   Think of that same utilitarian vibe that J.Crew comes from, and add a funky twist, and you've got Madewell. 

I love this Roppongi Dress made by Cambodian artisans, and love even more that the profits go back to the Siem Riep province where it was made.  I shall see on Thursday if my 5'2"-ness makes the length a tad more age-appropriate.

Someday the trend may end, but until it does, I can't get enough of the French, nautical stripy-ness!  

I adore the vintage look of these sandals and the "Thai chili" color.

The Stilista/Madewell event sounds like just about the perfect night out on the town.  And Madewell is nestled right at the end of Newbury Street, where many a darling cafe awaits you to rest and rehydrate after a solid bout of shopping.   SMJ readers, if you're in the Boston area or plan to be next week, please come enjoy this event.  

Thanks for the invite, Marisa!  

See you there!
