C.Wonder-ful Fun!

Waiting in Line

I love a store opening extravaganza. I'm not a big fan of shopping per se, but when you throw in exciting gimmicks like giveaways and special appearances, I'm in. (as illustrated by my waiting in line for 2 hours for the TopShop opening a couple of years ago-the free cookies and Kate Moss sighting were worth it!)

My co-workers mentioned swinging by the new store C. Wonder last night and said I should check it out. When I googled it, there was mention of the Grand Opening being today so I ran over on my lunch break. There was a small line to get in, but a handsome model-type was handing out cookies so it sweetened the deal. Once inside, it was an explosion of color and chaos.

Shopping to the Beat

C. Wonder is a new store of Tory Burch's (of flats with signature gold medallion fame) ex-husband, Chris Burch. Described as "the ultimate new shopping experience for women" they pulled out all of the stops to make the ladies happy. Free water, bubble teas, chocolates and prize giveways every 20 minutes all to the beat of the resident DJ all added in the fun of experiencing the brand new store.

Accesorize!

The store features handbags, shoes, clothing, jewelry, housewares and pet accesories, many with their signature C. logo on them (a dig to the former Mrs. Burch perhaps?). Bright greens, blues and pinks decorated the clothing, with everything from jackets, shirts and sweaters to slippers. The style was kind of preppy/nautical with a fun twist. The price point wasn't too bad, with shoes in the $68-$98 range, handbags starting at $58 and clothing in the $58+ range.






New Purchases thanks to C. Wonder




I needed flats and the C. logo played to my ego (C for Cassandra, get it?) so I got a little wallet for my business cards.
I made the following purchases without going over $100 --->              





On the way out I was able to send flowers (for free!) to any female in NYC. All about the ladies at C. Wonder.

Overall C. Wonder was a fun and affordable experience with a little something for everyone!
