Anyone who shops at Common Era will tell you two things: 1) We have unique clothing that gets hand picked and shipped to us in small quantities so that your style truly represents who you are. 2) We have AMAZING prices. Compared with a lot of the boutique-y clothing shops along Pearl or in Highlands, finding a dress at Common Era for $40 is like a sort of half-dream where you’re not sure if it’s real or not.
Because we ourselves (the ladies of Common Era) are addicted to clothing, it only makes sense that we would want the prices of our fashionable outfits, shoes and accessories to be accessible. How else would we be able to keep up?
This is why it is so exciting when we participate in an additional SALE- marking down our prices even further allows you to experiment more, take risks and discover how wonderful it can feel to give yourself a new look and still have money left over for a nice lunch.
Thus, our annual participation in the Downtown Boulder Sidewalk Sale. Businesses all along Pearl Street will be participating, so if you live in Denver, head on up for the day and enjoy a warm stroll along the foothills.
Our friendly staff is always available to make suggestions- how to wear a certain style, whether or not to use stockings, how to accessorize, etc. I once bought some turquoise flats from our $18 shoe bin. I still get compliments on them.
If that isn’t enough to entice you, 97.3 KBCO will be hosting a remote radio show promoting all the Sidewalk Sales on Saturday, August 7 from noon – 2 p.m. on the 1300 block. See you then!

It’s time for another in-store event! We’ve had anniversary parties, A Taste of Pearl events and “Girl’s Night Out,” and to celebrate the warm weather we will be doing another Tips and Sips evening at Common Era in Boulder, 1500 D Pearl Street. This Wednesday, June 16th from 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
Tips and Sips is a chance for you and your girlfriends to enjoy a fun-filled evening of tips and demonstrations given by a team of style experts (Worth While Style) all while shopping, sipping on wine and tasting sweet treats.
Learn how to look hot and stay cool this Summer and find clothing that works with your body type! Not everyone knows what colors or shapes flatter their body type or their skin color. That’s why Tina Gill will be there, along with our fashion expert and store owner, Debra Mazur, to help make you look your best. A personal shopper is usually a luxury that only the rich and famous can afford, but this Wednesday June 16th you will have access to all the expert advice you could ever need!
And don’t forget, just like last time you will get 20% off all purchases!! That’s pretty amazing.

Every so often, the Downtown Boulder Association puts on some great events. Last Summer Common Era participated in a series called “First Fridays” and now we have been chosen to participate in this month’s Taste of Pearl.
The idea behind the event is to expose and promote Boulder businesses- wineries, restaurants and merchants. On Sunday April 25th you can stroll down Pearl Street Mall visiting clothing stores, art galleries, book stores and more while tasting delicious wines and food from some of Boulder’s hottest chefs. This is a great community event, a wonderful way to meet people and support local businesses. And let’s be honest- it would probably make a great date night as well! So why not use it as an excuse to ask out that guy you’ve seen around the office? You could try on a few outfits at Common Era and see how he reacts! Isn’t that the funny montage they always show in romantic comedies? Then he tries some silly sunglasses and you walk out of here hand in hand! Mission accomplished!
The event takes place on a Sunday afternoon from 2pm – 6pm, which is plenty of time to drink up, eat up, and buy a few souvenirs to take home with you. The tickets are for sale through their website, Taste of Pearl and $52.80 is not a bad price when you consider the price of food and wine these days. Not to mention a portion of the proceeds go to the Emergency Family Assistance Association, a very good cuase.
And just to sweeten the deal (because Common Era cannot resist sweetening a deal) we will be offering a discount of 30% off anything and everything in the whole store to all Taste of Pearl ticket holders, all day long on Sunday April 25th from 12:00 – 6:00.
See you there!

GOOD THROUGH JUNE 30TH, 2010
Weather is warming up and so is our economy! At least that’s what they’re are telling us.
Listen, living on a budget can be a bummer. And living through a cold winter, scraping ice off your windshield and wearing a CU sweatshirt for 4 months straight is definitely a bummer. Not only for you but also for your boyfriend, who can’t even tell what your body looks like under all those layers. It also sucks for any style conscious individual who lives in Boulder or Denver and feels uninspired by their surroundings but doesn’t have the money to move to Paris. We don’t want to look at your baggy sweatshirt anymore either.
What should we do? Take back the streets. You don’t have to spend a fortune to look good, and you know what? Looking good helps a person feel good, and higher confidence leads to a higher probability of finding a great job or getting a raise at your current job. See how that works? By coming into Common Era and getting yourself a cutey-pie blouse, some sexy heels or a pair of our one-of-a-kind earrings, you are helping yourself and helping our economy. Don’t forget- Common Era is an independent business, so your dollars spent here go right back into our community!
So much stuff is already on sale- now that spring has sprung we’ve got to move out old inventory and make room for the most adorable new trends! That’s why we are offering 20% OFF all our sale items! Everything that has already been marked down is now 20% cheaper when you mention this coupon! I’m trying to think how that offer could get any better…maybe if Robert Pattinson were hanging out at our store everyday just so when you come out of the dressing room he’d just sit back all relaxed, look you up and down and say “Mmm, you look amazing in that.”
OK, but still. 20% off already marked-down clothes is pretty darn good and we’re more than happy to sit back and tell you how wonderful you look. You do, you look really good….

Birthdays are special. Not only are they once a year, but they are YOURS ALONE. It is not a holiday where everyone is celebrating, it’s like a separate private holiday where you celebrate by doing what you want, eating what you want, going where you want, sleeping in (if you can), and basically doing all your favorite things.
And for those of us who love to look amazing, we have another bonus: 15% off of anything your purchase during the whole MONTH of your birthday. That’s right, the whole MONTH!! Just bring in some proof of your b-day (driver’s license) and we take care of the rest! That’s very generous of us don’t you think? But we know you, we understand your need for adorable heels, unique clutches, fabulous curve hugging jeans and flirty dresses. And since it’s your birthday and you get a discount, you might as well go crazy. You can thank us later.
