Shop a Hot Local Designer at 30% Off + Turn Your Trash Into Treasure

It’s Monday morning. You’ve just waited ten minutes for the office coffee to brew with your most talkative co-worker, who felt compelled to tell you all about his or her weekend.  You didn’t ask.  Now, you’re back at your desk, looking at a to-do list of all of the tasks you procrastinated on last week and trying to get yourself to care about a single thing on it. Maybe you’re hungover, maybe you were just kept up all night by quarreling neighbors in your paper-thin-walled apartment complex. Regardless, you’d rather be just about anywhere but where you are.

We can’t get you out of your job (unless you have $1M to invest in a fledgling lifestyle business -- ahem --  in which case, come and be our CEO!), but we can offer you an amazing BGG event to look forward to later this week.

On Thursday, we’re hosting a night out with Em & Co. Boutique on 3rd Street from 7-10 p.m.  50 guests (RSVP now to rsvp@emandco.com) will get an exclusive preview of local line Ellie Lavelle’s fall & holiday collection and will be able to buy at 30% off retail. If you don’t know the line, its edgy designs are the creation of FIDM graduates (and besties) Carissa Simons and Lynsey Longo, who describe their aesthetic as ‘Debbie Harry's alter ego of 70's rock-n-roll with the glamour of 30's icon,Veronika Lake.’  We haven’t so much as peeked at the fall collection, so we are just as excited as you should be to check it out.

Jewelry designer Micha Kuechenhoff, who repurposes vintage jewelry ‘and other discarded odds and ends’ to make unique (and amazing) creations beloved by the likes of Kelly Osbourne & Fergie, will also be at the event.  Bring in your forgotten gems and she’ll 'upcycle' them into something unforgettable.

We will also offer cocktails, appetizers & gift bags (you greedy, greedy little broke girls!). RSVP now -- hope to see you there!
