Provided you’re as tired as I am with political events, rallies and television in general, you’ll be glad to forget all about such trivial matters as you browse the FULL SPRING COLLECTION by Alice + Olivia this Saturday at Center City’s Kimberly Boutique.

Sweet shop owner Jimmy Contreras, every girl’s best friend, always does the cutest trunk show parties, and this one will be no exception: Look for adorably bright cocktail frocks by the ever-wispy designer (and Penn grad) Stacey Bendet (who can’t come, because she’s apparently permanently weighed down, hand-first, by her brand-new engagement rock), along with A + O’s signature trousers — six styles of them! — a rose-silkscreened gown, pleated halter tops galore, and so-worth-the-splurge floral candles that retail for $50 apiece. Don’t feel guilty: 15 percent of proceeds go to the Fund for Living at the Foundation for Breast and Prostate Health.

As Jimmy predicts, the event will be, “Unbelievable. Gorgeous.” Don’t miss it. But if you do, at least mark your calendar for May 16, when he’ll throw the boutique’s three-year birthday bash alongside Tibi designer Amy Smilovic.
