My mint vest: c/o Jachs, Top: Nikibiki for Apricot Lane, Shorts: SF Blue, Sandals: Steve Madden (similar)
Yesterday evening, I went to Apricot Lane in the Boise Towne Square Mall for a fashion party. I co-hosted the event with Tanya of Style Spy Girl and Kelly, the manager of the store. We shopped, tried on all sorts of fun styles, chatted with customers, and ate delicious snacks and treats.
I—the self-proclaimed "not a fan of shopping"—actually ended up buying six tops. SIX! Apricot Lane was having some awesome mark-downs, and the whole store was also 20% off for the event, so I took home quite a few new treasures—two Nikibiki tanks in black and white, two black tees (one scoop and one v-neck), a neon yellow tee and an amazing leopard sweater that you'll see in photos below. So there it is—putting it on the record—I went shopping!
Here are some photos from the fun event!
This is Amy, who reads Aunie Sauce & came to meet me and say hi! Not only did we hit it off right away, but after the event we shopped a bit more and she helped me pick out a skirt at a different store! And is her cat tank awesome or what?
Tanya's top: Apricot Lane, Jeans: Mavi, My top: Jealous Tomato, Shorts: Dear John Hampton Short
One of the most fun things about co-hosting with Tanya was that our personal style preferences were so different. She's incredibly fashion-forward, chic and professional, and I'm very laid-back, and comfy casual. Tanya refers to us as, "downtown chic and beach-side boho," which I just love. These were our two favorite picks for outfits, and while hers is very posh and put-together, mine is very casual and hip. Oh, and that's the sweater that I bought—it has faux leather panels on the shoulders and is incredibly comfortable!
Thanks again to Apricot Lane for the fun Fashion Party!
PS / / Speaking of shopping, I'm featured in an interview on Shop At Home's website! Check it out here, and have a lovely weekend!

One of my favorite things about you is your ability to look put together while still being laid back! It makes me feel better knowing I can still look nice without having to wear super chic or fashion forward things. :)
I love both of your outfits, what a fun idea!

Oh man! That looks like so much fun! I wish I could have been there to meet you and shop! :)

That store looks amazing!
I had a blast shopping with you, Aunie! Looking forward to our next fashion get-together. :)
Oh a fashion party sounds FUN. And can I just say I LOVE Tanya's hair?
That means a LOT! I always feel so overdressed when I'm wearing anything but a tee and jeans/shorts. It just doesn't feel right to me. Thank you so much for upping my laid-back style confidence :)
Thanks Carly! After looking back at those photos, I *really *want to go get those pink shorts. They weren't too long or too short. I hope I didn't miss my chance :)
You're so right! To be honest, they are sometimes a little spendy for my preferences, but anytime they have a sale, I find myself running over! 3 of the tees I got were for less than $7 each! :)
Me too! It would be so fun to meet you after all this time ;)
Oh man, Kelly I totally messed up. I should have gotten them. Your comment makes me want to go right back over there and snag 'em!
I think my favorite part is that everything is displayed so well! You don't have to hunt to find stuff. It's very visual-friendly :)
Me too! Though next time, I'm hiring YOU to do my shopping for me!
PS> reshaped my you-know-what last night. Crossing my fingers it works :)
DOESN'T SHE HAVE THE COOLEST HAIR? She is totally my hair obsession of the moment. She absolutely rocks it.
Also, don't know if you saw, but the girl Krysten who commented right after you said she LOVES your hair. And who can blame her? You have a killer 'do!
Looks like such a fun party!

HER HAIR IS AWESOME... I miss having fun colored hair! Maybe I need to get some fashion sense and become a DESIGNER.. than.. my hair could be a rainbow! LOVE the clothes!
Thanks Shannon! It was great... but the mall was a bit slow that evening. Next time we want to pack the house~
Me too! That would have been a lot of fun!
Thanks! Very cozy... it's the best store for that!
Isn't it? She honestly rocks the styling department. You should make your hair a rainbow anyway! :)
It really would have been. Guess we will do a rain check.
Shave it, more fun to eat!
Definitely, I had a raging hard on seeing you in those!! -Had...
