The evening will allow you to meet the Councilwoman in person and hear more about her work.

Enjoy cocktails and great conversation while you shop with 10% of proceeds going to the Friends of Blondell Reynolds Brown. Please RSVP by Tuesday, December 12th, 2011 to [email protected].
Since June 2000, Councilwoman Reynolds Brown has been a pioneering woman in the City of Philadelphia legislative system. She champions small business, education, arts & culture and sustainability efforts in City Government. You can learn more about the Councilwoman on her website www.blondellonline.com.
One of our favorite things about Fall and Winter dressing is layering. There is nothing better that piling on those cozy sweaters, long sleeve blouses, coats and a great scarf, but with all of those pieces how can you still look stylish and put together without looking totally bulky? It is all about investing in basic, versatile pieces with great silhouettes that will layer with other garments in your wardrobe that you can dress up or dress down. Some of our favorite layering pieces are our Suzanne wool swing coat, a great cardigan like our Hope, a basic blouse such as the Alexia or the Collistia and a great pair of pants like our Audrey pencil pants available in black or red and our new Honest Denim Sloane trouser jean. All of these pieces are available in our store or online. Watch our layering tutorial on how we layer both a casual and dressy look!
As the holiday season rolls around, we can’t help but want to give back to our community and those around us. One of our partner organizations, People’s Emergency Center, collects canned goods along with non-perishable items throughout the year. During Thanksgiving, they have Food Cupboard, which provides food for needy families and senior citizens in their West Philadelphia neighborhood. Families in need and senior citizens can come to PEC for emergency food relief once per month. As part of our fashion community, we invite you to participate in donating to PEC’s food cupboard. As a thank you, we will give you 20% off one regular priced piece of clothing. Stop by our store starting this weekend, Saturday November 12th through Tuesday, November 15th to make a donation.
