Saturday 11/10 & Sunday 11/11, 11 am - 6 pm Celebrate the GRAND OPENING of Orapa Gallery of Wearable Art! I'll be doing a trunk show at the shop all weekend. If you enjoy cutting edge fashion and wearable art, you'll love Orapa. Owner Cedide Olcay has put together an incredible array of clothing that you rarely find anywhere, let alone in the typical suburban boutique. And, she's offering 20% off storewide for the grand opening weekend. Cecide is also a very fine wearable artist herself. Don't miss this cool event; you will not be disappointed.
