Fashionable Fourth at Cynthia Rowley

Cruisin' the sale racks

Posted by Moira Phillips on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 3:00 PM

It seems as if Charleston has more deals than fireworks this Fourth of July, but we're not complaining. Cynthia Rowley has Lowcountry fashionistas covered with their Pre-Fourth fete on Thursday, July 2. Join them between 5:30 and 8 p.m. (yes, ladies, that means the store will be open a full hour later) for some sweet deals and cocktails — what a way to celebrate your independence. There will be Firefly Sweet Tea cocktails on hand and a number of items from their spring line are still on sale.

No word yet on if there will be extra discounts, but our fingers are crossed. To all those ladies who pick up the perfect dress for their Fourth of July picnic, making a purchase during the party enters you in a raffle to win one of the sweet Cynthia Rowley beach cruisers on display. And who could resist sparklers?

Let your inner patriot out by dancing to the rhythm of a DJ with those delightful fiery sticks. Fashion, Firefly, free bike, and handheld fire? Sounds like there's something for everyone (except maybe you menfolk).

To RSVP or just to get some more information, stop by the Cynthia Rowley boutique at 341 King St. or give them a call (843) 577-8013.

d858/1245267594-8cbcb.jpgBiton is hosting a fashion show this Fri., June 19, with the theme Hot Summer Nights.

According to shop management, Biton is all about comfort this summer, with a rock 'n' roll flair. (Sounds a lot like their show at Charleston Fashion Week, no?)

Pop Up Shop Closing Party Thursday

Posted by Erica Jackson on Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 10:08 AM

531f/1245247681-mood2_thumb.jpgCome Friday, Pop Up Shop will be a distant memory. Good thing we had a little warning to prepare us. The now-you-see-it-now-you-don't-style shop, featuring clothes, accessories, and art from local creatives, was based on similar concepts in larger cities.

Although they were slated to close on June 22, exactly one month after opening, Thursday will be their last day. According to @PopUpShop's Twitter account, "Last day was supposed to be Monday-but due to the fact that Charleston is a ghosttown we are closing. Ergo..." Too sad.

But alas, it's not all bad news. They're having an impromptu closing sale on Thurs. June 18 from 5-8 p.m., featuring 20-40 percent off Julie Wheat, Proud Mary, Clewis Reid, Theodosia, and Carter Humphrey. BYO-WYW (whatever you want).

Pearl brings high-end fashion to Coleman Boulevard

Pearl on Shem Creek

Posted by Allie Rice on Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 3:57 PM

97e7/1245181945-pearl2.jpgTucked between downtown's city style and the beachy digs of Charleston’s waterways comes a brand new boutique called Pearl. Owners Allison Gilchrist and Melissa Rigsby opened this high-end fashion haven in May and they're looking to bring a bevy of fresh styles and designers to Charleston’s shoppers. The store, which dons a sparse and neutral interior, hangs far from ordinary threads on its delicate clothing racks. Among the famous U.S., U.K., and Australian designers you’ll find here are Jason Wu, doo.ri, Mischen, Megan Park, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, and Anya Hindmarch.

While trying on these featured names you may find yourself housed in one of your childhood fantasies as you're whisked into a Little Mermaid-esque world of shiny pearls and bubbly effervescence. This is not to say the store is child-like, though, rather on the contrary. Pearl pampers its clientele and exudes sophistication and class in every effect from their tailored day wear to elegant evening wear, plus accessories and handbags. The knowledgeable staff offers services including closet consulting, private shopping, local deliveries, complimentary tailoring, and even house calls. The store is open Mon.-Sat., 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and is located at 453 West Coleman Blvd. right by Shem Creek.
