Events Do you love fake eyelashes?
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 10:24 AM
The first time I ever wore eyelash extensions, I fell in love with myself. Yeah, OK, that's a little narcisstic of me, but hey, I was gorgeous.
If you're a lover of the fake eyelash, you should check out this event tomorrow evening. Ten By Ten Eyelashes brings you Glam Girls Night Out on Wednesday, June 23.
This event will feature light hors d'oeuvers and cocktails, a live semi-permanent eyelash extension demonstrations, spa give-a-ways and much more. RSVP by e-mailing Karen@tenbytenlashes.com TODAY!
Events Dazzling up denim at Jeans and Jewels benefit
Posted By Anita Overcash on Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Isn’t one supposed to get a little stressed before a gala? “What to wear?” is a fitting question for some of us who typically experience pre-dressing chaos. After all, galas and dressing-up usually go together. Usually, but not always, as we learn from Jeans and Jewels, a benefit for 24 Hours of Booty (a 24-hour cycling event that raises awareness and funds to support the Lance Armstrong Foundation and local cancer organizations). The particularly laid-back dress code of this gala — happening on June 26 at the Carillon Building Uptown — entails a combo of both formal (as in jewelry) and casual (as in jeans or jean skirts, dresses, vests, etc.). Yeah, dressing for this gala is that easy — can you believe it? The shindig will feature a fashion show, appetizers and drinks, a silent auction and raffle. For more information, visit www.jeansandjewelscharlotte.com. Tickets are $45-$50. 7 p.m. Carillon Building, 227 W. Trade St.

Holiday Deals For Father's Day, hold the ties
Posted By Victoria Creasy on Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 9:32 AM
I like to do my dad a favor on Father’s Day and not get him a tie or socks. I love those smaller, more personal shops like the ones at Ballantyne Village or Phillips Place, and I don’t spend any more money there than I would on a tie, but I end up getting something that I know my dad will actually like. Best of all, I don’t have to deal with the last minute Wal-Mart shoppers.

Yes, I am well aware that I'm late to this video posting, BUT, if I'm late, then others must be too!
Heels.com is a locally owned business — did you catch that? As in here in Charlotte! — that sends out hundreds of shoes each day. (In fact, we wrote up a little something something last year, which you can find here.)
Here's a video of a behind-the-scenes look into their warehouse. I know you're curious.
