They've been open since April and now Eurostyle Your Life is ready to celebrate its official grand opening with a party on Friday, Nov. 7 from 4 to 9 p.m.

I reviewed this Fremont shop a few months ago, and am completely obsessed with a line of Italian Merino wool knit accessories that they carry. The Sciarpone from Sartorio Vico is a scarf/shrug/shawl/sweater thingy made in Milan that is super soft, chic and versatile. I think of it often, and may just have to bring one home with me once the weather gets yucky, allowing me to justify the $131 price tag.

Enjoy tapas and drinks along with art from local abstract painter Mary Bennett and Swiss bookbinder Andrea Kohler. It's my guess that perusing Eurostyle's inventory of unique products will give you gift ideas galore.
