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.
*** Bring gently used handbags or dress shoes benefiting Dress for Success and receive additional entries into the drawing of your choice. The more you bring, the better your chances to win! (limit 5 entries per person)

WHAT: awesomeness
WHERE: Denver Common Era, 1543 Platte Street
WHEN: Thursday December 3rd, 2009 (5pm – 8pm)
Winter Toast! No, it is not another recipe of ours for some sort of hearty, bread based appetizer. Here, “toast” means to celebrate and on Thursday, December 3rd that’s exactly what we plan to do (and you’re invited!)
The Winter Toast is actually an annual event held for the past several years in which the businesses along Platte street in Denver host an afternoon (5pm – 8pm) of delight for their loyal customers. If you are not a customer, don’t worry, this event is for you as well- to get to know this charming neighborhood and all it has to offer.
Common Era will be participating, as usual, with our fabulous finger foods and fierce fashion advice from a professional expert, Tina Gill of worthwhile style. Tina was at the Denver Common Era for our Girl’s Night Out event last September, giving advice on flattering colors, styles, and dressing for your body type.
And while you browse our newest winter gear, you may also revel at our Winter Window Display. 303 magazine is documenting a project that will take place across all of Denver this holiday season (not just Platte Street) in which they showcase the amazing window displays that Denver’s creative geniuses put together. They will be at Common Era filming (we are told) so if you’d like to get in on the action be sure to dress cute (duh) and maybe stand in front of our window display with this sort of doe-eyed look and point one trembling finger while with your other gloved hand you cover your mouth as if to say “I’ve never seen anything quite so beautiful.” That’s sure to please. Then you can go around bragging about how you were in a documentary, something very few people will be able to trump.
Oh- and once you have eaten your fair share of crackers, cheese and fruit and after you have gotten advice from Tina and Deb about whether or not you can pull off 4 inch long earrings, you will pleased to know that there are also discounts. Discounts! At the register you can dip your hand into a magical jar and pull out an instant coupon of between 10% off and 30% off!! Could it get any better? Well, considering Rob Pattinson turned down our invite to join in on the fun, I guess the answer is no, it doesn’t get any better than this. That is, until December 4th, when we’ll do it all over again in Boulder, only with OPEN STUDIO CRAFT TIME!!!

WHAT: awesomeness
WHERE: Boulder Common Era, 16th and Pearl
WHEN: Friday December 4th, 2009 (all day)
First Friday! While Boulder may not be the fashion capital of the world, (or even Colorado for that matter), you wouldn’t know it from walking into Common Era on 16th and Pearl. And to celebrate our dedication to fashion forward thinking, Friday, December 4th we’re having a party (and you’re invited!)
First Friday is actually a monthly walking tour of participating Boulder art galleries that has widened its scope to include shops along the East End of Pearl and any other local businesses who feel like hosting a monthly event.
Common Era will be participating, as usual, with our fabulous finger foods and fierce fashion advice from a professional expert, Tina Gill of worthwhile style. Tina was at the Denver Common Era for our Girl’s Night Out event last September, giving advice on flattering colors, styles, and dressing for your body type. Unlike our Denver event the day before (Winter Toast) we will also be blessed with the presence of Sameera Ahmed, who will be offering makeup tips and touch ups.
And while you browse our newest winter gear, you may also revel at our Winter Window Display. 303 magazine is documenting a project that will take place across all of Denver this holiday season in which they showcase the amazing window displays that Denver’s creative geniuses put together. While this project does not involve Boulder, we at the Common Era Boulder store decided to participate anyways. I mean, come on! We have about 1000 feet of window space on a busy downtown corner. We’d be crazy not to take this opportunity to really wow all Boulder residents lucky enough to stroll by Pearl and 16th, not just our loyal customers.
But let’s not forget the most amazing thing about this day, and the main difference between our Boulder and Denver events- OPEN STUDIO. For those of you who know our Boulder store you may have noticed that this year we did some serious renovating! With a more open floor plan and decidedly more modern dark wood dressing rooms we are investing in our image and the customer experience. In fact- that’s why we’ve added a whole new section of the store which is used as a “workroom” of sorts. Complete with work tables, shelves full of knick-knacks, glue, sparkles, magazines, yarn for crocheting and sewing machines, the only thing you need to bring is your inspiration. The workshop will be open all day for you to make your own projects with our materials (for a nominal fee). From necklaces and earrings to card cases, pill boxes and appliques, we provide you with everything you need to walk out of Common Era with your own, unique, hand-made product.
Some come on in and give it a try! We will also have our OPEN STUDIO WORKSHOP every Monday for you to come back again and again. And just in case you need any more reason to show up: you will receive from 10% to 30% off of any purchases at the register when you reach into our magical jar. I’m just saying.
