Calico was thrilled to be invited to join in Chictopia’s 12 Days of Chic!

Starting today, Chictopia will feature themed selections from their favorite e-retailers on its new shopping section, Chictopia Shop! Some of our favorites so far are featured above! Be sure to check often as the Chictopia Shop will be updated daily with new, holiday-ready wares!

Tony Artur (one half of the husband-and-wife team behind favorites I Heart Unicorns, The All Nighter Hair Powder, and Pre Game Styling Spray) will be on hand with styling tips and demo’s through-out the day. He’ll also be bringing a wide selection of products for you to sample and shop, including hand-blended fragrances, incredible nail colors, natural all-over body shimmer, and more! We’ll also be offering 10% off all purchases (non-sale items) and a FREE S’Shines Lip Gloss with every ABL purchase! And snacks. Don’t forget the snacks. And mimosas!

So, save the date, Calico fans: Saturday, December 3, 2-7pm. Please e-mail with any questions and RSVP on Facebook!

I just RSVP’ed for next Wednesday’s Fashion Tweet-Up at the Four Seasons. It’s sponsored by our friends at styleboston and features a spring 2011 presentation from Contra. Apparently, there are also giftbags and Twitter PRIZES! EEEEeeeee!!!

RSVP on Eventbright and come have a cocktail with me!

We’ll be partying down in the stunning Jacob’s Gallery, under the museum’s phenomenal collection of four real whale skeletons! With live DJ sets, complimentary tapas and treats, cash bar from Cardoza’s Wine & Spirits, mini-fashion presentations happening through-out the evening, and, of course, a Calico pop-up shop to satisfy those inevitable vintage cravings–it’s going to be a night to remember!

We also had the chance to meet Sophia of Phosphene–one of our fave style blogs!–and visit with the lovely Cassie Knight, who’s article about the show can be found on My Secret Boston!

Most of the looks from the show can be found in our online store–and if you don’t see the piece you’re coveting, it’s probably coming soon!

Thanks to everyone who came out for this show on very short notice! And to those that couldn’t make it, we PROMISE to do more fashion events in the very near future! Stay tuned…
