Gigee Marie: The Blog: November Event Recap

I try to do "pop-up shop" - type events once every 1-2 months. November was a pretty busy month because I had 3 events to do (which I'm not complaining AT ALL lol). I love doing events because it gives me face time with current customers, and it gives me a chance to introduce the brand in person to people who may not have heard of Gigee Marie. Here is a quick recap of the November events that we participated in:

Get Fashion
Get Fashion was an event presented by No Kings Collective (an arts and culture group composed of working artist and designers) and KOLTON.J (an eco-vintage jewelry line), showcasing local DC designers and filled with art, live music, and good food. It was sponsored by Tweli, Red Bull, Honest Tea, H & Pizza, Twice as Warm, and Car2Go. It was a fun time, as I got to hang out with my girls Veronica of eeCuffs and Corrine of Carnelian Boutique (check out their sites and #SupportSmallBiz!)

Dew Drop Glitter Glam Swap & Shop
The team at Dew Drop invited me and several other fashion and beauty brands to participate in their Glitter Glam Swap & Shop. Dew Drop is known in the DC area for their clothing swap events, drawing a larger crowd each time. The event also benefitted Goodwill of Greater Washington.

Swap and Shops are a great idea for getting rid of old clothes [that are in good condition] and actually getting something "new" in return. It's a fun "girl's night" idea too. In addition to the swap, vendors, cupcakes, and cocktails, they also had a mini fashion show where bloggers created an outfit using pieces from the swap and from the vendors. Waverly of Pich and Roor rocked our Jade clutch with her ensemble for the fashion show. Also, check out the interview that Dew Drop did on me to promote their Swap & Shop.

Pop-Up Beauty Lounge

Pop-Up Beauty Lounge was an event organized by Red Sprinkle and Square Root Group, which brought together fashion designers, makeup artists, boutique owners, bloggers, and media for a night of fashion and beauty (duh, right?! lol). The event was held at the La Petite Marmoset show room room and was hosted by bloggers Nife of Skinny Hipster and Naja Diamond of From Combat Boots to Stilettos. They had a mini fashion show and quick holiday hair tutorials from Seven and Company. A portion of all proceeds will go to benefit Red Sprinkle's Fashion Camp. Special thanks to my girl (and fellow Terp!) Aminata of Square Root Group for inviting me to be part of this event.
