Our Puppy Love event on February 11th, 2010 was a dog’s dream! Our fantastic turnout of guests enjoyed chocolate covered-strawberries and champagne in the spirit of Saint Valentine's Day while browsing the new Elaine Turner Spring 2010 Collection. Featuring gorgeous prints and metallic neutrals, the line was inspired by island luxury lifestyle. Broken into four sub groups, called the Balinese Breeze Collection, the Moroccan Moon Collection, the Zanzibar Collection, and the Solid Leather Collection, each group has distinctive prints and color-schemes, as well as details such as bamboo hardware and rope handles. Adding to the collection of beautiful accessories, Helene Jewels designer Elena Schimming showcased her beautiful creations, which featured bright-colored baubles perfect for springtime!

But the true success of the night was the raffle giveaway, which benefitted our friends at Lucky Dog Rescue. Lucky Dog Rescue is a non-profit welfare organization dedicated to providing rescue services, vet care, foster care and adoptive placement to stray and abandoned dogs. To learn more, visit their website at http://www.luckyrescue.org. Guests purchased raffle tickets for a chance to win an Elaine Turner handbag or pair of shoes, a piece of Helene jewelry, or a gift basket from The Chocolate Bar. Congratulations to our winners, and thanks to our guests for their generous support!

This evening wouldn't have been possible without the support of our partners, including Hudson Ferus Vodka, our neighbor The Chocolate Bar, Helene Jewels and of course, Lucky Dog Rescue! We hope to see everyone again VERY soon - and if you weren't able to make it, be sure to stop by our pink Rice Village flagship store to check out our new collection! Enjoy the photos!
