Fashion 'n' Things

I'm quite excited to be a part of  Sip 'n Shop Girls Night Out as they are gearing up for the next event on 11.11.11
It is a Night of shopping, mingling, networking, and enjoying free cocktail with friends or better yet get acquainted with several vendors that will be displaying their goods for the night.
If you live in the Inland Empire area or just want a fun time 30mins from LA...Then totally come out and see the beautiful Claremont.

These totes sold out within hours on eBay (july 12th). So if you're like me, we missed out on that already.
for more details on the designers involved in designing these bags and the mission of the CFDA, read more on NOLA
