Last night was the first ever Swapping Spree of Seattle Consignment Boutique owner and Wardrobe Stylist Tannya Bernadette. Over the past 3 months I have had the opportunity to intern for her. The spree was held at Club Sur in Seattle's SoDo district. 55 fashionistas were invited to not only the swap but to take part in free massages, hair styling, and make-up.
The idea of the swap was that woman would bring in a certain number of items to be swapped and that same number would be however many times they would be able to take home. The swap it self was an amazing way to score great labels and designers such as Express, Ann Taylor, Betty Johnson, Coach, and Diane von Furstenburg. The great catch was that you could swap out 10 items for more name brand things when you purchased your ticket which was only $25. Tannya was genius for coming up with the concept.
As an intern my duties included the raffle (some raffle items were jewelry from Kate Bosworth's line Jewel Mint and coupons for Kim Kardashian's Shoedazzle). Also me and fellow Mountainview alumni Josh Pellow were in charge of setting up the swap. The best part of the Swapping spree was that all the clothes not used were donated to Seattle's Jubliee Woman's Store and all proceeds from the tickets when to help kids get scholarships for college. An event is always amazing when you can give back and shop. My favorite part was the amazing 17 items I got to add to my wardrobe.
