Since I don’t often plug charity events, and am starting to feel as though I’ve got a hardened, black heart, I thought I’d pass along this info about an event happening tonight at the grandest she-palace in all the Twin Cities, Alfred’s Grand Petit Magasin.
Before I get into the event: This magnificent store, in Edina, is sort of fashioned after Barney’s or Fred Segal, although it’s infused with a little more Parisian flare. I guess you could say it’s the last ridiculously high-end outpost on the prairie, catering to the sorts of local ladies who might travel to the coast, or even abroad, to form fall wardrobes or decorate their homes for the season. The place is decked out with a cafe, a stationery section, housewares, furniture, jewelry, a clothing section (my fave-or-ite!, except that it looks to be a little heavy on the over-embellished as of late, and I’m trying to stay away from that stuff), and even a basement filled with vintage goodies.
If you haven’t already guessed, Alfred’s is not the sort of place to bring your thoroughly masculine friends.
In any case, the event, called Pink Party, is a fundraiser for Hope Chest for Breast Cancer and, let’s see, it’s in the shape of a champagne and dessert party. Do not be fooled if your boyfriend or husband has a sweet tooth or likes swilling bubbly. This ain’t for him.
