JENNIFER JOHNSON: FASHION AND DRINKS ON SATURDAY >>>

The swanky 1950s-inspired interior of Tempest Lounge will be transformed from a sassy, cocktail sipping hot spot into a one-day shopping arena come Saturday, Nov. 29. Tempest’s third annual Holiday Trunk Show falls the day after Black Friday. Make sure to save plenty of dough and drop by 2-6 p.m. to peruse merchandise being presented exclusively by local designers and artists.

Owners Michelle Douglas and Denise Tempest have class, and it shows in what they have chosen to showcase. More designers are being confirmed daily, but here’s what’s up for grabs so far: jewelry by Laura Towse (To The Life Boats), Kristi V (Coco's Creations) and KimberlyKay Designs (check out the halter tops made from scarves, too), and totes and other bags from Pat Kerth (Studio 2 Design). Julie Fillo will have prints of the dreamy whimsical paintings she creates for sale. Also available are one-of-a-kind fabric creations. Douglas and Tempest have long been supporters of local artists and designers â€" often meeting them as customers at their lounge.

“What we like about it is all of our great customers sell their products, and they get to keep all of the money they make, and our buyers have a blast,” says Denise Tempest.

As an added bonus at the Trunk Show, these savvy owners will once again launch the shopping party with their annual holiday champagne flight. The Tempest Bubble Flight will be in full effect with tasty eclectic bubbly and sparkling wines from France, Spain and Tasmania via Unique Wine Distributors. Taste the trio of champagne for $11.

“We will have the Shooting Star Black Bubbles, too. If you haven't tried this you, have to. It’s Pinot Noir Champagne,” adds Tempest.

Oh la la.
