If you haven’t heard of Global Fashion Brands (GFB), it’s a social e-commerce site that connects savvy shoppers to independent designers and retailers.  It’s a great, interactive platform for learning about local or independent brands that you otherwise might not be exposed to.  It’s brought to you by Nolcha, the infamous company that promotes the independent fashion market.

Being based in Florida, I basically cry every time I get an invite to something based in NYC, so I am thrilled that Global Fashion Brands is coming to Florida this week for an amazing event and pop-up boutique!  They are partnering with Farasha Boutique, a women’s retail clothing and accessories pop-up concept, where they open temporary boutiques throughout the U.S.,  featuring one-of-a-kind pieces, which can later be found on their e-commerce store for a limited time.

Well, July 22nd – 31st, 11am – 9pm daily, South Florida fashionistas are invited to come shop, and see for themselves what these great independent designers have to offer.  The pop-up boutique will be in Downtown West Palm Beach (218 Clematis St. in a space provided by WGCompass Realty Companies), and will feature independent fashion and jewelry brands including: Estela Balan, Body Rock Sport, Perfect Tan Bikini, Adolfo Sanchez, Margaret Miller, Monica Macha, and more!

It’s going to be a 5100 sq ft pop-up boutique complete with a Fashion Lounge for guests to relax and receive style advice, and a Beauty Bar, July 22 – 24, offering mini facials, and hand and massage treatments.

Now for the (even more) fun part…a giveaway!!! This giveaway will really only excite local South Floridians, as 5 lucky fashionistas will win entry to the exclusive invite only launch party this Thursday, July 21 (the night before the pop-up boutique…pops-up).

Winners will enjoy cocktails from Blue Feather Vodka, and spa pampering from The Sanctuary Salon and Spa, while networking with industry professionals and fellow fashionistas!  To enter, just comment below and tell me what unique fashion or jewelry piece you would hope to find at the pop-up boutique!  Personally, I would love to fun some fun, interesting bangle bracelets…you can never have enough!  (As winners will have to get to the event on their own, it is best if only local candidates enter to win).
