When Connie walked into our FP Phoenix store it was love at first sight! Connie was planning a beach wedding at Carlsbad, CA and when she tried on our new Tuscan Floral Tango Dress she knew it was a match made in heaven. “The dress was absolutely perfect for the day as I felt so incredibly comfortable.” she said. A big thanks to Connie, husband Paul, and ring bearer Lottie the dog!

Anaheim’s Pink Night Out!

fresh-E — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:45:34 +0000

On Thursday, October 22nd, Anaheim hosted a “Pink Night Out” for Breast Cancer Awareness month. They had a pink chocolate fountain, and a 5% donation was made to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade with every ‘Shine On Shine Strong’ Screen T purchase. Aveda gave mini makeovers and massages and there was also a drawing for a Vera Bradley Stephanie Pleated Tote! Below are some pics from the event, including their special dedication wall in the store where customers could write a name, message or post a photo in honor of someone special. FP Anaheim employee Bianca Bolinao was the artist behind the Shine On …Shine Strong BC dedication wall. Throughout the month they shared important BC facts with customers.

Here are few stories from the Dedication Wall that touched our hearts…

The Gnodles Family: Honored their Auntie Lima’s loss of her long and hard battle with cancer.
Granados Family: Share support for a family friend that currently finds herself battling BC
Kathy Takasago long time Freshie and BC Survivor says: “Keep the faith and Stay Strong!
Linda Churchward from Australia decided after winning her battle against BC that she wanted to see the world! We were just one of her many stops during week 3 of exploring the US and Canada!

FP Anaheim Team poses in front of the wall we dedicated to those who lost their fight against BC and to honor those who survived against their odds.

Janice Taylor and her husband happened to come in to shop the night before our event and came back again that evening to show their support for the great cause and of course to do a little more shopping. Mr. Taylor survived a heart attack just last year and decided he wanted to spend his 30^th wedding Anniversary at Disneyland with his beautiful wife Janice.

Marietta Fashion Show Benefits the Humane Society!

fresh-E — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:00:51 +0000

Recently, Kathe, our Customer Service Rep, traveled to Marietta, GA for an FP Fashion Show to benefit the Humane Society! About ninety people attended the show and our Marietta store manager, Jenn, helped all the models choose their outfits. They looked great (of course) and the crowd seemed to really like the current and upcoming FP styles that were modeled! Many of the guests wanted to purchase some of the items (especially the Pure Sweaters and wraps) right on the spot, but hurried to the Marietta FP store shortly thereafter to shop the afternoon away!

Kathe brought lots of door prizes and $150 was raised for the Humane society with the FP tote bags that were auctioned off during the show. Our designer, Sarah, even made up some bandanas from scraps of fabric for the dogs to wear as they were being shown for adoption.
