Vintage Glam StyledLife, Gaviidae (first floor, next to Neiman Marcus), 555 Nicollet Mall, Mpls., 612-746-5400, www.styledlife.com.

Many Twin Citians trust the attention-to-detail service at accessories shop StyledLife. It turns out the boutique's fashion experts spend their spare time searching the globe for vintage pieces that are in mint condition. This month, you can buy their finds during the Vintage Glam event. It's part-festival, part-sale with prices starting at $36 for a set of bangles, which is a fraction of what you'd pay for a new designer version. Not to mention that you'll probably be the only person in town with the piece. Check out this gold handbag ($158), perfectly preserved thanks to a plastic overlay; the Wonder Woman-style belt by Accessocraft ($158), and the cuff (also fit for a super hero) by Napier ($198).

Sale alert: Hubert White is having its biannual "down to nothing sale." Sale items will gradually get marked down until they hit 90 percent off. Check back often for deeper discounts until everything is gone (probably early to mid August).

TV alert: "Project Runway" returns for the fifth season (Wed., 8 p.m., Bravo). Am I the only one who thinks that they should have just retired the series after finding Christian Siriano? His fierceness can't be beat, but we'll still watch to find out.
