If you made it out to our NE Shop Crawl last Saturday, you got a sneak peek of Shop Rapport’s Spring leather cuffs (the launch is not until May) and their adorable clutches in the store. I had the pleasure of meeting local Minnesotans Michele and Wesley, the fab ladies behind Shop Rapport. If you think their clutches are beautiful, you have to meet them in person! They have such great style and vibe about them, I knew I wanted their line in my store right then and there, it was a perfect match. Check out a taste of some of the pieces we have in store. The pictures seriously doesn’t do justice, the lining inside of the clutches are so cute, you just have to stop in and see it in person! Which one is your fav?

Braciolette Ripiene with Lemon Orzo and Roasted Tomatoes and wardrobe provided by Parc Boutique
It is so rewarding to cook food that tastes great is and good for you as well. That doesn’t mean never using butter or never having any fun. It does means using high quality and healthful ingredients (local and organic if you can, kids), good recipes, and exercising portion control. Some restaurants serve portions of pasta for one (here in America) that would be a platter for entire family in Italy. That’s just another little gift our culture has given us that we really need to abandon. Also, vegetables! We don’t eat enough of them. I love roasting them in olive oil (works with just about any vegetable) salt, pepper, and maybe minced garlic. So good for you and honestly, people that don’t eat broccoli and brussels sprouts even like them cooked this way.
My Braciolette Ripiene (stuffed chicken breasts) has a tasty spinach stuffing that is highlighted with roasted red peppers and topped with pignoli (pine nuts) that are high in monounsaturated fat. I’m serving it with an orzo that is seasoned simply with salt, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese. Roasted tomatoes complete the dish with their tangy and sweet richness.

Here is a recap of our Spring Local Jewelry Designer trunk show last month, better late than never right? We featured 5 local jewelry designers: Helen Wang Jewelry, Candied Yams Jewelry, Kim-Anh Tong Jewelry, Liebling Designs, and Twilight Soaps & Gifts, all showcasing their new Spring 2010 collection which can be found here at Parc!. All I can say is WOW, thanks to everyone who came out to support local artists and businesses. We are already getting so many people asking “when is your next trunk show”? So stay tuned and make sure you are on our mailing list so you won’t miss out on our next in store event! The designers and I all agreed the best part of the trunk show was interacting with our customers they all enjoyed chatting with all of you. We even did quite a few custom orders, a definite perk of working with a local designer. Not only is it local, but it’s hand made, unique, great quality, and you get exactly what you want! Here are some pictures we snapped during the event and click here to view more pictures from the trunk show.
