No Shirley & Alice are not two people. But an awesome new vintage boutique in Brooklyn. One thing I love about being a blogger is the opportunity to go to different events and get a chance to meet new people. Get to see who is doing what, and really be around a new vibe. And of course having a reason to dress up lol. So when my good friend Desmone sent me the invite for this event, I jumped on it. Celebrity stylist and vintage extraordinaire Khalilah Williams-Webb finally opened her vintage boutique Shirley & Alice in Brooklyn. (clap clap clap)
For her, opening this boutique was a long time dream. 10 years to be exact. It was nice to see the turn out for the culmination of her dream come together. She offers really great, and I mean great vintage options. Everything from floor length gowns, to awesome demin jackets with fringe. From African print to sequins and buttons. It’s definitely a vintage lovers place to be. Everything is so unique, colors, prints, fur, and flannel lol just everything you could want.
The event was small, rather intimate. But I liked it. You could really take time to meet people, take pictures, discuss how much we loved the store and the pieces in it. And of course take in how awesome we all were dressed lol. I mean hey being slightly vain never hurt anyone. Right?
And being that it was intimate, Khalilah was able to walk around and actually meet people. If you wanted a picture, you could ask her…not her “team”. As a blogger I can really respect that. If we’re coming to celebrate with you, I at least want to meet you and snap a few pics
I was living for her shoes!
But I digress, as me and my name twin Shaina chit chatted with each other we got to talk with some of the other fashionable women there. Yes we know how to network not only our businesses but ourselves as women. Yea we're on our grind.
Oh I CANNOT forget the awesome drinks and cupcakes. The Liq New York had the most amazing sangria I have ever had. As well as white sangria cupcakes…oh man!
All in all I had a great time. As usual, I handed out a few business cards and got to taken a little bit of Brooklyn fashion…#ilive
