Pittsburgh is usually not known for being uber-fashionable, some may say that Pittsburgh is a good 10 years behind other cities in terms of our fashion sense. Others are confused by our pro-sports dress code. Only in Pittsburgh is a yellow hand towel considered an import accessory by everyone.
But there are some amazing businesses working to make Pittsburgh look better – this weekend both Tula Organic Salon and designer Kelly Lane are hosting open houses where you can check out their work spaces and save big on on their goods. I have had the honor of learning about both of these businesses for some time. I was luck to get an invite to one of the Kelly Lane sales at Kelly’s House a few years ago. Tula Organic officially opened their doors in April – but the idea has been in the works since last summer. Tula’s co-owner, Emily Askin, is a good friend of mine. It is so exciting to see their idea for Tula Organic Salon and Spa become a reality. Both of these businesses are hosting open houses this weekend and you should stop buy and say hello.
