Is Thursday suddenly the unofficial Girls Night Out? We swear, we knew of at least three GNO parties before we even heard about the sample sale at Malo. Being a fan of tacos, margaritas, and great deals on clothing, this event seemed like a slam dunk.
The festivities took place in the upstairs portion of Malo, and even at 5:10pm, it was bustling. Sellers included Junk Food (tees for $10!); Akiko (who made that awesome "everything is $35; don't try to haggle or I will FIGHT YOU" sign—and seriously, $35 for Akiko is pretty rad); Jenny Han ($20 - $50); Rhys Dwfen; Ezekiel ($5 - $30); and Skinny Jewelry.
Kudos to the organizers for a well-planned event: bathrooms were converted to changing areas, and overall, the space comfortably accommodated vendors and shoppers. Our only complaint was the dim lighting. Such a great event that really should become a regular occurrence. We'll let you know if/when it does.
