J Leigh Events | Charlotte Shopping Tour

Jennifer & I were commissioned back in February to coordinate the Charlotte Shopping Tour that happened on Saturday. We put a lot of hard work into making the tour what it was, and we’ve heard nothing but great things from the shoppers! So glad everyone had a great time & found some wonderful items at deep discounts! We designated 2 pick up spots, and the shoppers spent the day shopping at a 20% discount from FiFi’s, JLC WearHouse, Cheeky Bean, Summerbird and JT Posh. I hate that I had to miss the FiFi’s stop, but I was out rounding up lunch for the group from Sunflour Baking Company 🙂 Cheeky Bean was our lunch stop for the day, we set up cocktail tables  for everyone to eat at with linens that coordinated with the Charlotte Shopping Tour logo (tables & linens from Party Reflections).  I picked up flowers from Whole Foods the night before and made little arrangements for each table. Shoppers were met with cupcakes & champagne at several stops! We can’t forget about Mickey! He was our awesome bus driver from Christian Tours… he even shopped for his wife with us!! Now…. what did I find while shopping?? This AWESOME seersucker dress from Cheeky Bean (~$80) This killer silk, Banana Republic dress from JLC WearHouse (~$20) …. which I wore on date night with hubby last night! This nautical tunic top from JT Posh… cannot wait to wear it with white skinnies! (~$20) ….. last but not least… a pair of perfect Trina Turk shorts from JT Posh (~$30) We hope you’ll join us on the fall tour we are planning!!
