Flirty Fashions Grand Opening; Partridge Creek

Shannon Lazovski — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:41:14 +0000

Last Thursday a few of my favorite Detroit Mom Bloggers and myself were invited to the Flirty Fashions Grand Opening Party at the Mall at Partridge Creek. This is the second location for the Rochester Hills Boutique. The event was not only a celebration for the grand opening of the second location, but also an appreciation party to Flirty Fashions’ customers and supporters. Located in the Parisian wing adjacent to the children’s play area, the Flirty Fashions store is a great addition to the Mall at Partridge Creek. The store is perfect for women and teens ages 15 and up, especially those who love all things that sparkle!

The Grand Opening Event took place from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and included live mannequins, a live DJ, free hors d’oeuvres, a chocolate fountain and cocktails. Guests also enjoyed merchandise giveaways and a free scoop-it-yourself body scrub from the body scrub bar that allowed guests to scoop their favorite ice cream flavor of body scrub into a to-go cup and top it off with sparkle dust and multi-colored sprinkles. Each customer who attended also received a free gift bag filled with goodies courtesy of Flirty Fashions.

Dj Michael Lo Chirco mixed beats throughout the night giving the party a fun club-like vibe to shoppers both young or old. Guests enjoyed shopping for trendy clothing at affordable prices finding hot items such as leggings, denim, blouses, special occasion tops, dresses, formal dresses, hats, coats, jewelry and accessories. My favorite part of the event was the fun party vibe not to mention the fun and fashionable clothing. The store owner, Diane Fornari, really stepped it up and made other store openings seem a tad boring. The live mannequins sure did catch my eye and the one-of-a-kind trends throughout the new space sure did make me feel like I was in trend setting heaven.

If your looking for clothing that has a one-of-a-kind feel Flirty Fashions has the right merchandise for you. Nowhere else in the Metro-Detroit area will you find the same items and that’s including accessories. If I know one thing, I know Diane works hard travelling to New York and California to find unique items for her store that no one else carries in Michigan.

Flirty Fashions is now open in the Mall at Partridge Creek 7 days a week between the hours of 10:00 a.m. -9:00 p.m. The clothing suits teens and young women best who are fashion forward trendsetters who enjoy wearing one-of-a-kind items. Be sure to “like” Flirty Fashions on Facebook and follow them on Twitter to stay up to date on store happenings and special discounts.

I would like to thank Diane of Flirty Fashions for the opportunity to attend the event and thank fellow Detroit Mom Bloggers (and friends) Christina Strickland, Melissa Buckles, and Erin Rawlings for attending with me.

Polished by Chrome is a sister store to the men and women’s apparel store Chrome, which is also located in Royal Oak.

The original plan was to open the store with a fabulous collection of footwear but they also have an amazing collection of chunky necklaces, earrings, cuff bracelets and handbags. When we shopped the store we were impressed with the large display of jewelry Polish has to offer. Each piece had originality with a “one-of-a-kind” feel, perfect for the shopper who wants to purchase an accessory that is different from the rest.

Sometimes all we need are a few great accessories to brighten up our wardrobe. With Fall coming, an older pair of jeans can be spiced up with a great new pair of cognac boots or a neutral stiletto and that cute little black dress can be updated by adding a new chunky necklace. New accessories can easily make an old outfit feel new again and Polished by Chrome has exactly what you need!
