Shop & Socialize: Flamingo’s In-Store Takeover at J.McLaughlin Winter Park

SHARE IF YOU ENJOYED IT

Springtime means shedding some extra layers and adding new staple pieces to a wardrobe — maybe a striped jumper or a wicker handbag. Of course, shopping gets a little sweeter when you can do it with friends, food and wine.

On March 7, Flamingo hosted an in-store takeover at J.McLaughlin‘s Winter Park location.

The happy hour event celebrated two releases: the American clothing store’s new spring collection and Flamingo‘s new spring issue. Joining in on the festivities were local vendors including Lettermade embroidered linens, velvet&twine floral designs, The Ravenous Pig and giddy paperie.

Tapas and light bites, including assortments of hummus and muhammara with roasted red pepper and pomegranate, were provided by The Ravenous Pig.

Area fans attended the event to shop the spring line and meet the Flamingo team.

Excited customers enjoyed shopping and socializing with one another.
