Jessica's Fashion Mixer - CLIQUE

I have the best life ever - I swear - just had to say.

As a new mom with no social life, and a serial social networker, and a by day marketing professional - I needed a new outlet for my creative/social side. I wanted to so badly to find an event where I could shop with my girls, have a few drinks and network/social at the same time. In Portland, OR, there is no such animal - at least I couldn't find one.

So, I decided to start a fashion mixer. I call it CLIQUE by Jessica Kane. And, it's simply a night to bring together all the people I love, and new ones I'd love to meet, and share a girls night out.

My first one was in November 08 at PALA, a nice lounge/restaurant in downtown Portland, OR. It went great! So great in fact, I realized quickly I needed more space. So, I scouted downtown Portland for a new venue, and found Ibiza (www.ibizaportland.com). This place is simply amazing! The most fabulous tall ceilings, mediteranean decorations, fabulous tapas, and a great staff. Just LOVE it there! So, the owner and I clicked and I decided to hold the January mixer there, and am so glad I did.

I think all the ladies had a great time, and I sure did too! I have to say thank you to my close friends that invest their time and energy into this event to make it a success for everyone involved. This is not a business, it's a non-profit mixer, so everything is volunteer.
Thank you to Jenny Miller - my amazing friend and VIP Girl :) LOVE YOU!
Thank you to Misty Talkish - you are fab and take amazing pictures!
And most importantly, thank you to Mi'Lane from Curvy Girl Boutique in Portland, OR. You were my inspiration and a fabulous friend, I love you.

Here are some pictures from the January Clique! Hope you enjoy...
