by Kara NelsonOn Saturday, Feb. 16, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., the Symphony Volunteers Inc. will host an end-of-season fundraising sale at the Encore Shop (7814 Maple St, 861-9028). There will be drastically reduced w0men's winter items, including casual and dress wear, cocktail and full-length gowns, coats, furs, shoes and accessories, as well as new upscale boutique closeout items — with many famous designers represented. All proceeds benefit the musicians of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Kenner boutique Envy (817 W. Esplanade Ave. Suite E, Kenner, 464-5390) will soon have a sister store — a slightly older, more sophisticated sister — called Miche (705 W. Esplanade Ave., Kenner, 464-8986) just a few blocks away. Opening for business on Thursday, Feb. 14, Miche will feature clothing, shoes and accessories that can take you from day to night in style.
