I know, I know, I can’t even believe it myself — Halloween day isn’t even half over, my little Bear not even in his costume yet, and here I am, actually participating in the waaaaay-too-early-to-be-promotiong-holiday-stuff trend …! But look, as long as I’m putting up a reminder about the 2008 Holiday Boutique coming up this Weds and Thursday, I might as well just go for it and get this post started. I have been made privy to a HUGE number of fun events and promotions coming up in the next two months, so stay tuned and check back to this post often for updates!
So, start by setting aside a few hours of boutique shopping at the 2008 Holiday Boutique at the Piedmont Club (Hecker Ave off of Noroton Ave) November 5th and 6th. If you’ve never been to this kind of thing before, it is SO convenient: booths and booths of the kinds of things that make the PERFECT gifts for people; gifts that you would have never thought of and agonized over for weeks and then settled for whatever wasn’t opened or sold out on the shelves on Christmas Eve (ummm … or not).
So for this event you’ve got very convenient hours: Weds you can shop during the day, from 9am to 4:30pm, or in the evening (read: champagne) from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. The Piedmont Club is ever so convenient to the Noroton Heights train station for commuters …
Enjoy the following GREAT In-the-Know tips and specials at the Boutique:
* Best place to park if the Piedmont lot is full is right on Hecker Ave.
* Best deal around: buy $100 in Bobbi Brown products (not hard to do at all!) and Bobbi Brown’s protege Kim Harrison will give you a FREE 30-MINUTE MAKEOVER plus take home a Bobbi Brown Gift Bag. Bookings are going fast - contact Allison ASAP to reserve a time.
* Best time of day to grab a deal is 9:00 am Wednesday for the best selection of high-end designer jeans ($~200 value) for $85.00 at Jeanie Blum.
* Best time for perks: 6:30 -9:30 pm on Wednesday the 5th for champagne and Milton Point Sweets
* Best kept secret: Jo Malone fragrance etc. will be sold at 15% off retail prices plus get a free gift with purchase
– Shop Til You Drop and help support the YWCA!
Lots more to come on this post, but I’ve got a pumpkin to carve!!

HOORAY FOR HALLOWEEN IN DOWNTOWN DARIEN!
We’re reaching the final countdown to trick-or-treat time, so in case you’re not yet sure about your plans for tomorrow, keep in mind the first annual “Darien Merchants Treat Day.” This is SUCH a fun idea — participating stores will be offering treats to kids who come in costume! A great way to do a little shop-and-treating without the guilt 
If you haven’t already heard about the 14th Annual DCA Mom’s Morning In Halloween Parade, it’s happening downtown at 10AM: starting at the Darien Fire Station and parading through town to Tilley Pond, where there will be additional festivity and a magic show.
During the day and as part of the parade, Robeks Juice of Darien will be providing delicious samples of pumpkin-flavored alternatives to candy, so make sure to drop in either on your way over to the parade or on your way back from Tilley. ((Did you know you can cut through the parking lot behind Robeks and get to Tilley Pond?))
And, for last-minute Halloween items ranging from fun wigs and light-up jewelry to house decorations, candles and treats, check out the Rainbow Shoppe’s first ever Halloween Sale, where all Halloween merchandise is 50% off today, tomorrow and Saturday. Those of you who are subscribers to the Insider Alert caught Jan’s most recent Fabulous Find and should be reminded that the last day to order a pair of those adorable girls’ and womens’ monogrammed clogs in time for Christmas, exclusively available at the Rainbow Shoppe, is tomorrow October 31st!
