Oh no! Another cute Phoenix boutique is closing its doors after 3 years !
If you’ve never been, check out the Fashion Phoenix profile here. This makes me super sad because Jennifer, owner of The Trunk Trading Co., supports a lot of local fashion artisans. But, let’s focus on the positive – inventory starting at 25% off and discount increasing until August 31st.

THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN!

Cici Bianca for Baby
Introducing Cici Bianca for Baby. The local company known for their “incomparable knitted ribbon jackets” is now offering their exquisite pieces for baby. Cindy White, owner of Cici Bianca, is blogging about her experience in creating, manufacturing and soon marketing these delicate jackets. A must read if you’re interested in owning one of these collectable jackets for your little girl! Cici Bianca Blog
I’ve known about this project for some time now and I have been bursting at the “seams” waiting to tell you! If you’ve ever seen or are fortunate enough to own a CiCi Bianca, you can only imagine how darling these little jackets are. Here’s a picture I saved from my visit with Cindy a few months back…

You may have seen the wrap outside the new store just across from Michael Kors at Scottsdale Fashion Square. ILORI, the upscale sunglass boutique, opens this weekend offering limited edition and exclusive sunglass styles for men and women. The designer list and the celebrities seen in them are most impressive. From iconic brands including Lanvin, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Thakoon, and a select list of emerging sunglass designers, this eyewear boutique coins itself as “More than sunglasses, ILORI is treasure brought to light.”
I’m excited to try on sunglasses that may cost more than my first mortgage. I’m also excited that my friend and fashion guru, Jeffrey Evans, is the Boutique Manager. Jeffrey called me to tell me about the opening and the company he is excited to work for. In just two years, the ILORI concept has grown to open its 21st store here in Scottsdale. The boutique has been featured in every magazine from the Wall Street Journal to InStyle. To read more about ILORI and to see their current lookbook, www.iloristyle.com.
Here are some of the current sunglasses from the iloristyle.com…

Lanvin, an ILORI exclusive $1500

Badgley Mischka Limited Edition "Perry" $575

Chanel Denim Wrapped $290
