            <description><![CDATA[February 26, 2012 The Cotton Mill, Barbauld Street, Warrington My niece Suzanne has the opportunity to go to Nicaragua when she is 16 for a month of charity work and treking but she needs help to raise the funds to get her there (it costs a whopping Â£3500!).

Tickets cost Â£5 with all proceeds going to the Nicaragua charity challenge for Suzanne.
 
To come to the party you need to bring at least 3 clean items of clothing, shoes or accessories in good condition. 

You then get the chance to browse the items on offer and take home 3 items of clothing, shoes or accessories yourself.
 
If you would like to take more items this is not a problem.. but we ask that you make a donation for each additional item.
 
The event takes place upstairs in the Cotton Mill on 26th February.
 
12pm- 2pm: Drop off your 3 items of clothing and have a spot of lunch and chill.
 (LAST ENTRY 1.45pm)
 
2pm - 2.30pm: Clothing preview
 
3pm - 5pm: Clothes swapping starts
 
Please feel free to bring more than 3 items to broaden swapping choices. We would really appreciate it if you could donate anything that is left over and we will exchange them at cash for clothes with all proceeds going towards the charity trip.
 
We hope that you can come along and would love it if you could spread the word - we really want to raise as much money as possible for the charity on the day and in return you'll hopefully find lots of new items to treasure :)

            <description><![CDATA[March 22, 2012 The Durrell Arms, 704 Fulham Road We all love fabulous new clothes but not the unfortunate side effects. Swishing or clothes swapping is a fantastic way for you to refresh your wardrobe without spending a penny or having a negative impact on the environment. 

Bring between one and five items to swap - clothing, shoes, hats, bags, belts and scarves (sorry no jewelry, lingerie, swimwear or childrenâs wear). Please bring something that you are proud to pass on. We cannot accept:
â¢	Items with holes, tears, stains or bobbling
â¢	Shoes with worn down heals
â¢	Trousers with frayed hems 
â¢	Basic jersey vests and t-shirts

The items will then be sorted and hung up on rails. For each item you bring you'll get a ticket, you can then take as many items as you bring!

Drop off is from 6:30 pm 
Take what you fancy from 7:30 pm

The charity textile recycler TRAID will be running their Sew Good Workshop showing you how to amend and customise your new clothes. Any un-swished items will be donated to TRAID.

The Durrell Arms is around half a mile from Parsonâs Green tube station, or bus number 14 drops you right outside the door. The bar will be open to relax in before and after the event.

Everyone is welcome, but to give us an idea of numbers please RSVP to either the email above or 020 8753 1888.

See you there!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[March 21, 2012 Global Action Plan Swishing is not only a great way to revamp your wardrobe and have a ball. It is also a super environmental thing to do. Youâre diverting clothes from landfill, cutting carbon emissions, opting for fashion without exploitation (unless you forgot to offer your helpers biscuits) and youâre moving on from âshop till you dropâ and bringing a new culture of âdrop then shopâ to the masses. 

Â£3 entry will get you three swapping tokens. After all tokens have been swapped, all remaining items will be open for a free for all! Bring along clothes, games, books, DVDs and last year's christmas presents!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[March 11, 2012 Gautama Bar Back to the Fuschia is hosting Swish in the City on Sunday 11th March at Gautama Bar, Crystal Palace.

It's always a lot easier to rid yourself of items you no longer wear if you know you can replace the hole where they once lived with some 'MUST HAVE' fashions that will revamp your collection in a positive way.
Clothes, Shoes, Bags and Accessories are all welcome to be swished providing they are in great condition ready for their new home. We don't accept plain T-shirts or vests, not that they aren't an essential item to all of us, but we like to offer all our Swishettes some great fashions that they will be thrilled to have snapped up at the event. When Swishing, the number of items brought to the event can be taken away plus a BONUS 2! Items are graded into lower end and higher end by brand, branded and non-branded items are both accepted, both graded sections containing some fantastic pieces!
Swish in the City has a number of great features making the afternoon that little bit more exciting for all those who attend. We host a Designer Auction offering 'New' and 'Nearly New' high end brands that can be bagged at a fraction of their retail value. We also hold a Raffle with some great prizes, this is in addition to our Cupcake Station, Pop Up Shops and Makeover Stations pampering our Swishettes with Manicures and Make-Up of their choice. 
This is a great afternoon not to be missed by any true Fashionista who loves a bargain. We have seen some fantastic fashions at Swish in the City and expect no less for this one. So get that wardrobe cleansed and enhance your image and style with some great Pre-Loved fashions that may no longer even be available in the shops!

Tickets in Advance are Â£5 from www.swishinthecity2012.eventbrite.com OR Â£7.50 On the Door
 
See you there to SWAP 'TIL YOU DROP!
