Sew, Swap and Style for Earth Day Style Haven Boutique in Montclair presents Earth Day Swap Party (MONTCLAIR, N.J.)

(April 11, 2012) – In the world of fashion, vintage is the new—well, new. Style Haven Boutique, one of downtown Montclair’s newest vintage and secondhand clothing boutiques, hosts its inaugural Sew, Swap, Style swap party on Earth Day, Sunday, April 22, 2012 from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. A swap party is a great, budget-conscious and eco-friendly way to update your wardrobe because you’re swapping clothes and accessories with others instead of just throwing them away. Style Haven Boutique’s Sew, Swap, Style gives a second life to those clothes and accessories you once loved. For every item that is brought in to swap, you receive one ticket for that item. Designer items receive 2 tickets. If you bring in ten items, you receive at least ten tickets, which equal at least ten opportunities to swap. If you want to do your part for Mother Earth but you’re not quite ready to bid adieu to your duds, don’t fret. Accessory designer, author and New Jersey native, Meca McKinney, stops by Style Haven Boutique to give a demonstration about making funky accessories using materials found in your home. Style Haven Boutique officially opened its doors in downtown Montclair March 17, 2012. With an arsenal of vintage and secondhand pieces, current trends and emerging designers, each item is carefully selected by boutique owner and veteran wardrobe stylist, Corin Wright. Style Haven Boutique offers a full shopping experience including on-site alterations, style consultation, personal shopping, bridal party styling, personal styling and ladies’ night out. For more information about Sew, Swap, Style, call (973) 233-1900 or visit ShopStyleHaven.com. Visit Style Haven Boutique at 190A Bloomfield Ave. Montclair, N.J. 07042.
