I met Bryce at the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce speed networking event. She was looking for a person that could help her with her POS system. At the event she handed out flyers of her grand opening event, but the occasion slipped my mind.

Wednesday night at the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce after hours event at Lennar, Kim Niskey (great person to talk to if you want to join the chamber) gave me another grand opening brochure so I decided to check the place out.

Clothes Hound used to be an online boutique store to purchase hard-to-find, yet affordable, celebrity-driven brands of fashion but now it has opened its first store in north Raleigh. The store offers a selection of clothing and jewelry in the price range of $20 to $150. It even sells fashionable doggie collars, doggie bows, and cupcake squeeky dog toys. 10% of the sales proceeds from now until Saturday will be donated to the SPCA of Wake County.

At the ribbon cutting ceremony, people could enjoy white wine, cookies in the shape of dresses w/ pearl necklaces, cupcakes topped off with a high heel shoe, fancy sandwiches and salads and take home a unique bag full of goodies. Reusing this bag gives you 10% off your purchases.

I am not a huge clothes shopper, especially for dresses, but I found a really cute and affordable dress that I bought as well as a nice orange spandex t-shirt.

Check out the Clothes Hound at its new location in Raleigh: 8111 Creedmoor Rd., Suite 149, Raleigh, NC 27613 or shop online at www.shopclotheshound.com.
