I can’t believe I am writing these words (for all the times I thought I would never do it!), but we are officially LIVE with our first video on YouTube (check out our short video below or right here)! And there is no better way than to start by sharing one of my favorite events to have hosted this year with alba Boutique! If you were able to attend the event, you know it was raining and the unusual weather was bookended by sunnier days. But that did not stop many of you who came out and enjoyed some bubbly and snacks while getting your hair braided and enjoying the company of the women and men who stopped by to support This Season’s Gold and alba Boutique in Hoboken! Thank you!
What I love about shopping small boutiques are the attention to detail that is in involved in catering to the customer. I know that when I go into alba Boutique, I am met with a kind smile and an array of choices for whatever I may be looking for, whether that be a dress, leather jacket, sunglasses, handbag, jumpsuit or jeans! You’d be surprised how much such a small space can offer! I not only found this gorgeous peach jumpsuit here a few weeks ago, but then within 5 minutes of walking in saw this beautiful white off the shoulder top, perfect for the summer bbq’s, (similar here and love this one too) and had to wear it during the event!
What made this event even more special is that my hairstylist and friend, Catt Nunez (follow her on Instagram!), hosted a braid bar and it was such a hit! What girl doesn’t love a fierce braid to wear for a summer weekend?
Jeanna, the owner of alba Boutique, is such an amazing women. Her hard work and dedication makes her such an inspiration and is the truest form of a #girlboss! Her boutiques are in Ridgewood and Hoboken, NJ and now in Wellesley, MA – so you know she knows what she is doing. Learn how we met in our video below!

The event looks really fun and great to interact. There are so many great pieces available for this summer soiree event. My Favourite is the addition of charms to the braids which brings so much life and interest to the hair. Congrats on your video and channel!

Oh that sounds like such a fun event! What is better than having a shopping date with girl friends, enjoying snacks and bubbly and getting hair braided? I love the peach jumpsuit you got, the white off the shoulder top and from what I see Alba boutique has such an amazing collection. Congrats to Jeanna for having her multiple boutique locations and to you for your new YT channel. You both are such inspiring girl bosses!

Congratulations on your video, it’s fantastic! I love small boutiques and I actually prefer shopping at places like this rather than department stores. They usually have unique pieces that you don’t find everywhere and they have a charm to them. Love the selection at this place, I can see myself shopping here.. haha

Aww congrats on this! That’s so awesome. I love small boutiques because you can always find something you wouldn’t expect to find. It’s my favorite place to shop at over chain stores. Love that they had a braid bar and it sounds like a super fun event. If I’m ever in the area I’ll have to check it out.
Congrats on your channel laughing! That’s amazing! alba Boutique sounds incredible! I adore small boutiques for the same reason you do! I love the personalizations and having a one on one shopping experience! How fun that there was a braid bar! That would have been so fun! I love the looks and the video is absolutely perfect!

This summer shopping soiree event looked so fun and there are so many great pieces and things. I love the charm for braids, it is such a simple yet fun way to dress up the hair game. You looked adorable in the video and it is very nicely edited and done.
