Holiday Shopping Parties in Newport

The season's begun for Christmas in Newport!

If you're checking off your holiday shopping list, you may as well have fun doing it. Here's a round-up of stores in Newport who want to help you spread holiday cheer in style.

Bellevue Avenue Holiday Stroll

Thursday, Dec. 3 at 3-7PM

If you're planning on doing your holiday shopping in Newport, this is the time to do it. Participating stores will have special offers and light refreshments to keep up the good holiday cheer on Bellevue and surrounding streets!

Find your holiday decor and hostess gifts at Chateau & Bungalow on William Street, spruce up your winter wardrobe with a few cashmere sweaters and premium denim at Laura Jean on Bellevue Avenue, then make your way up the street to find more amazing gifts for you and your loved ones!

J. McLaughlin's Holiday Sip & Shop for newportFILM

Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 3-7PM

As much as we love adding to our own wishlists for Christmas, it's always important to give back for all of the wonderful things in your life that you may take for granted. NewportFILM is a non-profit that makes a difference by engaging with the local and tourist communities about real-world issues—if you're an Aquidneck Island resident, this is an amazing organization in your backyard worth supporting. 

OceanCliff's Sip 'n Shop

Thursday, Dec. 10 at 5-8PM

If this event isn't one-stop shopping, then I don't know what is...

Working Hard (Or Hardly Working?) in Newport

I've been working a lot, splitting time across the bridges between Newport and Narragansett, but at the same time it doesn't feel like work at all. 

It's hard to complain when your jobs involve social media, cute clothes, amateur photography and fun events. 

Laura Jean Denim Shop still has a great selection of white jeans, but they're going fast!

I'm getting into the habit of running to A Market and buying Multi-Green Kombucha before going to Laura Jean Denim Shop for work. It's hard not to feel like a better person after drinking it. 

Crosswynds Traders has been getting in a lot of great handbags from Urban Outfitters and American Eagle lately. I want all of them...

KC Shoes at the Pier recently received a new shipment of Tees by Tina tanks, skirts, and dresses, as well as Douglas Paquette jewelry.

On Tuesday night, Newport Life Magazine hosted a launch party for their July issue at The Deck. 

At Newport Life Magazine's launch party, they had a raw bar. I learned two things about eating raw oysters: they are delicious, but they are difficult to eat politely in public. 

Last night, several Newport clothing and lifestyle boutiques hosted a shopping event at OceanCliff.  My favorite item at the event were the sandals by Grace Di Meglio. They are handmade, 100% leather and extremely comfortable, not to mention adorable!
