5 Year Anniversary Party on May 4, 2012

Save the date. Hope you can stop by. My boutique is celebrating it's 5 year anniversary, next Friday night, May 4. (I didn't celebrate my 4th year, because I'm actually shy about sending out these things... but, by God, I need to celebrate this big odd numbered one, because the artist's this month are ridiculously awesome and it's just time to have a party!) We're showcasing 3 Portland artists that night from 5-9 pm in three different mediums: Oil painting, Hat design and Ceramic art. Christopher Mooney is a well-known, celebrated Portland artist. His oil paintings are all iconic Portland scenes that he makes his own, in a realistic Hopper-esque way. His work has been featured at the Portland Art Museum's Sales Rental Gallery, and I'm so thrilled to have him for my Anniversary party and for the month of May. ElizaBeth Rohloff has been designing hats for years. She's bringing her complete Spring and Summer Collection on Friday May 4 and is also debuting her new skirt collection. Jeff Rainoldi is a ceramic artist whose intricate designs scream symmetry and exactness and just make any pasta taste better. But these artists are truly something, and the night is going to be fun. More highlights are the 50% off Rack, and 50% off select Suzabelle clothing (named Designer of the Year by Seattle Magazine.) Plus, jewelry prizes and refreshments always seem to be perk up a party, too. Thank you friends. Your support and kindness means everything. xxoo Anne

Yes, he does it again! Seth Aaron Henderson just knows how to effortlessly put on a runway show! This time it's his Fall ready-to-wear collection, debuting at LA Fashion Week, Project Ethos show on March 12, 2011. What did we see? A bold splash of color, dramatic lines, and that little something extra that's a bit daring and edgy without being overdone. No frilly stuff here. Nothing too flowing bohemian chic, that's for sure. Seth Aaron gives us bold, strong collection with a pop of bright cherry red coupled with and his classic touch of menswear oversized hounds-tooth in a fitted, feminine silhouette. This year he paired his designs with Ms. Wood leather and wood shoes for a total look that really works.
And what a show! Takes us back to his finale collection at Bryant Park, with his Russian-inspired winning collection of Season 7 of Project Runway. And never has a t-shirt paired with black knickers ever looked so styling. It's Seth Aaron Henderson's own t-shirt design of his fun and graphic hair and big graphic lips with his side logo that reads, SA Mod. Long sleeve, soft tee-shirt. It's distinctly his, and only $58.

To learn more or see more of Seth Aaron Henderson's designs, mosey on over to my boutique. I'm SO lucky to get these in first! ♥
Seth Aaron Henderson's new designs can be found here.

And my friends, Alicia Wood and her husband, Ben Wood, make the awesome wood shoes seen in the video that are found here.



Plus, Alicia makes the darling trench coat with kimono sleeves, found at boutiques and on etsy. Her trench coat with kimono sleeve is khaki cotton twill trench coat with stylized kimono sleeves. Single breasted made with handmade wooden buttons and buckle, lined with coordinating rayon lining. Available in S, M, & L. But, it's found only in independent boutiques and on etsy.

To celebrate an amazing show at LA Fashion Week, here's a sale price on the kimono trench coat by Ms. Wood.

Thank you Raphael for the video, now we all can feel like we were in the front row!
Congratulations Seth Aaron and Alicia!
