AIDS Walk Detroit held their thank you party for all walkers, volunteers and fundraisers who participated in the 2012 event at the Farmers Market in Royal Oak. The walk raised more than $200,000 to promote HIV prevention, education and services for those living with HIV/AIDS. Leon and Lulu, an eclectic boutique in Clawson, hosted the event. These charity events are de rigueur for this fascinating emporium. Leon and Lulu is the ultimate shopping experience for men, women, children and adults. There is something for everyone. From the $1.99 bangles (shown) to the stylish fashions to the whimsical home decor, this store is not to be missed. Even the space is a visual odyssey — it’s a former roller rink now bedecked with chandeliers.

Park Shelton Gems: Peacock Room and Emerald

9 Dec

motown savvy emeraldmotownsavvy peacock          The Park Shelton lobby in Detroit sparkles thanks to entrepreneur Rachel Lutz. Last year she opened up The Peacock Room, a boutique filled with accessories, and new and vintage clothing.  This year Rachel opened Emerald, with an entrance on Woodward. Emerald sells unique gifts displayed on antique tables, many with historical significance. The table (shown left) is from the downtown defunct department store, Crowley’s. Rachel explained that Emerald is a temporary venture for now. It will be opened for about six months to see if the business is successful.  The photo on the right is from Peacock Alley’s costume jewelry collection. The price points start at about $20, but all the pieces are rich and stylish.
