Taste of Little Italy
A fun little onesie. A funsie! Available at Mythology Eco-Boutique - Mythology Eco-Boutique
The summer of '69 inspired many things. People strived to live freely, value peace and love over material possessions, and buy their first real six string at a five-and-dime. Wait, that last one might have just been Brian Adams. This Saturday, July 14, that moment in counterculture history serves as the inspiration for the South Park Walkabout, Summer of Love edition. The seasonal event pays homage to that era as neighborhood shops and businesses stay open late to offer killer deals and other special events from 6 to 10 p.m. Seeing as this is the shopping blog, here are what the South Park boutiques will be offering that evening.
Mythology Eco-boutique (2365 30th St.) will be offering 50% off a large selection of their eco-friendly clothing and accessories, including organic cotton tees, adorable onesies screenprinted with fun and quirky designs and Vegan accessories. Hippies rejoice!
The indie brand fans at Graffiti Beach (2220 Fern St.) welcome artist Alex Chimilio, who will be displaying his hand-painted surf and skate boards. Designer Brandie Mata will also stop buy to hold a trunk show of her candles and prints. The shop will also have items on sale. Make sure you hit up their women's jewelry section. There's some great, unique baubles available.
Bad Madge & Company (2205 Fern St.), Junc Life & Style (2209 Fern St.) and Make Good (2207 Fern St.) will team up to screen the classic rock music documentary, Woodstock: Three Days of Peace and Music, on the grassy outdoor lot right next to the shops at 8:30 p.m. They'll be providing lemonade, ice tea and popcorn for sale to benefit Stepping Stone. Make sure to stop in the shops for cool vintage finds, local handmade goods and indie labels.
This one is for the fellas. Crow Thief (3009 Grape St.), which features handcrafted menswear by Melissa Hendrix-Lawson, is in the business of making men look dapper in custom made and one-of-a-kind pieces. Some of their merchandise will be on sale. Take advantage.
Happy shopping!
