Shopping with top designer is a win-win for boutique and American Heart Association
What:Shop With Heart Card brunch featuring designer Josie Natori, .
Where: Tootsies.
The 411: The bubbly flowed and the brunch bites enticed when Ilene Allen, Julie Haralson andRoz Pactor saluted Shop With Heart Card volunteers. Although the 10 days of shopping the discounts with the Heart Card were over, Tootsies contributed a percentage of sales on this day to the American Heart Association, which benefited in full from the $40 card price. (This is similar to the American Cancer Society's Holiday Shopping Card, which comes out each November.)
Bonus for the gals perusing the racks was the presence of Natori, whose fall collection was presented in an informal fashion show.
Who: Bethany Buchanan, Issa Chou, Tina Alvarez, Karina Barbieri, Beth Wolff, Kevin Black, Leila Gilbert, Christina Stith, Bobbie Nau, Lu Caltigirone, Ruchi Mukherjee, Maricarolyn Stith and Kelsey Tarpinian.
