fashion ethic + ella mon - june 26-28

Online eco fashion boutique Fashion Ethic and Ballard boutique Ella Mon have teamed up to produce a “Naturally Chic” Weekend of events in celebration of the first Fashion Ethic Pop Up ‘Shop-within-a-shop’ at Ella Mon.

The Fashion Ethic Pop Up Shop opens next Friday, June 26th for a week of residence in the front of Monica Treacy's fantastic store. The pop-up shop will feature “Fashionably Responsible™” apparel from eco-friendly and socially-conscious lines like EDUN, Naturevsfuture, Emily Katz, Ryann, Sublet, and more. Fashion Ethic specializes in fashion forward, forward-thinking designs and conscious wardrobe building.

Kicking off the opening will be a "Naturally Chic" Weekend full of in-store events at Ella Mon, where customers will learn how natural, eco-friendly and “Fashionably Responsible™” choices in their closet and cosmetics are easy to make and still insanely chic.

Customers are invited to enjoy morning mimosas, mid-day massages or evening wine & cheese shopping and other Naturally Chic opportunities all weekend long, June 26-28:

SHOP eco-fashion essentials from Fashion Ethic’s “shop within a shop”
POSE for a natural headshot with Alison Jensen Photography
PAMPER yourself with a natural paraffin handwax
VAMP it up with a new hat from deVuono and Mikele Keiffer Millinery
ADORN yourself with eco-friendly jewelry designs from Thinknow Design
DISCOVER the Malie natural beauty line
MEET local artist Mistinguett and snag an original artwork

Additional “surprise” discounts will be taken at the register.

10% of the weekend's sales will benefit Junior League of Seattle. The Junior League of Seattle is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

2080s finale - this weds

i went to a couple of 2080s last year but quite frankly i can't be going out on school nights. regardless, i am a fan of soul & FCZ - so i'm a little sad to hear 2080s is ending. move to fridays maybe? xo
