Donate Clothes May 1&2; And Shop 4 A Cause Later That Night!

Shopping. Sips. Sweets. For a cause.

May 2, 2012
Whoever said you couldn’t buy happiness, simply didn’t know where to go shopping!

Get ready for a fabulous, fashionable evening that will make your closet, wallet, and heart happy...

The first ever SOIREE in the CITY event that can be summed up as “shopping, sips & sweets, for a cause” is coming to Windsor on May 2, 2012 from 7pm-11pm on at LOFT Nightclub in downtown Windsor (www.loftwindsor.com). Ages 19+ are welcome.
While all this may be fabulous enough, the star of the show is most definitely the shopping. Local fashionistas are asked to donate their “gently loved” quality clothing, shoes, purses & accessories. For every 5 items donated, they will receive a ticket to redeem toward 1 FREE item. The best part: not only do sales help a great cause everything is priced at just $5!  There is no dress code for this event, but feel free to look fabulous and strut through the door.

Clothing donation drop offs can be made Tuesday May 1 from 10AM-2PM at St. Angela Hall (750 Erie Street East, Windsor) or on May 2 from noon-3PM at LOFT Nightclub (20 Chatham Street East, downtown Windsor.) For those who wish to donate items but can’t make these dates a pick-up service can be arranged by contacting fashionistanation@gmail.com. Items are inspected to meet strict quality standards. Criteria is as follows: gently loved clothing, shoes, purses, & accessories that: have been purchased in the last 2-3 years and are free of rips, holes, stains & missing hardware.  Items must be clean. All sizes & brands are welcome. Guests will also be able to shop from a selection of specially priced dresses & extras from www.fashionistanation.com
The exciting girl’s night out event will benefit The FEARLESS & FABULOUS Project. The project focuses on making memories, & making a difference via positive, personal experiences in the lives of local women battling breast cancer or in remission. In addition to advocating breast health it provides “fabulous” silk headscarves, wraps, hats, wigs, accessories, & feel-good pampering. This includes but is not limited to spa days and professional beauty photo shoots celebrating courage, strength, & hope. The FEARLESS & FABULOUS project was founded by local entrepreneur Amber Gates-Conflitti as a way for her online dress rental & accessories company www.fashionistanation.com (event host) to get involved with a cause close to her heart, in a very direct way.

The Breast Health Center at Windsor Regional Hospital is partnering with the project, as proceeds from this event stay local to help local women.

  The SOIREE in the CITY special guest lineup for the evening includes: local DJ sensation Joey Beatz (www.freshbeatzproductions.com), sensuality coach & Passion Party diva Tamilynn Edwards, and professional “speed artist” Dave Santia presenting “The ART of ROCK n ROLL” with his first ever appearance in Canada. Dave is famous for his collectable music & movie legend paintings created on giant 5ft canvases. All paintings are done “live” to corresponding music, and typically completed within just 2-7 minutes. 

Guests will have a chance to bid on exclusive artwork at the event. Anticipated work may include icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, & Madonna just to name a few, with proceeds benefiting The FEARLESS & FABULOUS Project.
 A specialty martini menu will be offered exclusively for the event, with fashionista inspired themes. Martini cocktails can be purchased for $5 each. Bursting with swanky atmosphere, guests will enjoy a live DJ, decadent dessert buffet, specialty martinis, a silent fashion auction, raffle prizes, giveaways, & some very special guests
