If people will buy food off a truck, why not a dress? The Fashion Mobile hit the road for the first 
time last night, parking at Market Fest in White Bear Lake. Owners David and Teresa Grim had been missing the retail world since closing their bricks…
Rock the Garden…in a T-Shirt
All decent events need a t-shirt to validate their occurrence. Rock the Garden has the advantage of the Walker Art Center design team to create it, which means no list of sponsors on the back! The graphically distinct 2012 shirts for men and women ($20) are now available…
Robyne Robinson Hits LuxeYard
Former Fox 9 news anchor Robyne Robinson continues to grow her jewelry brand. Today, ROX makes its debut on LuxeYard, a shopping site that presents daily sales of luxury goods at discounted prices. Many of Robinson’s exotic stone pieces are available for half price, now through June 20.
Turquoise Moccasins. Yes.
Itasca Leathergoods doesn’t get nearly the attention paid to the other Minnesota moccasin brand. But from the looks of the latest collection, that could soon change.
Itasca, which handcrafts its soft-sole mocs in Lake George, Minn, is stepping up its game with bright colors, like the Cota in…

I got a sneak peek of the new boutique at 31st and Hennepin Avenue in Uptown this morning, and it looks like a hit. The first floor of the house that was long home to Intoto is filled with…
My $15 Blowout
I had a fabulous experience today at Juut’s New Artist Academy in Uptown, where blowouts are now just $15. You’d never know this was a training salon–it has the same calming atmosphere and professionalism as any other Juut Salon Spa. The fact that the stylists–who have completed beauty school–are green just makes them…
Juicy Openings
Still dancing around naming stores that will join Forever 21 in filling the Bloomingdale’s space, Mall of America announced two stores taking spots in other parts of the mall: Athleta,which hit the market last winter with a store at 50th & France, will open right outside Macy’s when J.Jill moves to the second floor. And Juicy Couture will open its first stand-alone Twin…
And the First Blowdry Bar to Open Is…
Blowdry! will open on Lagoon Avenue in Uptown on Thursday, June 14, which should make it the first of the Twin Cities blowdry bars to actually start serving guests. Blowdry!, which will also offer waxing, brow and lash tints and makeup application, is owned by the pair behind HAUS Salon, Charlie Brackney and Jessica Reipke. It will be devoted to shampoo and styling…
