Cherry Creek North Food & Wine celebrates the diverse and sophisticated tastes of Cherry Creek North dining with culinary experiences hosted by the area's best restaurants over four days – Wednesday, August 11th – Saturday, August 14th. Attendees will be able to buy tickets for individual events ranging from seminars to demonstrations to larger sampling events on Fillmore Plaza. The four-day event culminates at the Grand Tasting where guests can sample thoughtfully paired bites while enjoying locally provided wine, beer and spirits; plus, live music and more! CCN Food & Wine is a ticketed event featuring only Cherry Creek North dining locations. The Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District (CCN BID) produces this event. Karmen Berentsen, owner of A Line Boutique shares three outfits to wear to the various events during Cherry Creek North Food & Wine. Three participating restaurants served as the backdrop for the photoshoot.
*Tickets will be available HERE starting June 15th *
LOOK 1 AT LE BILBOQUET
Transport yourself to Paris with a cocktail at Le Bilboquet Cherry Creek. Nothing says happy hour like sipping a glass of Champagne while donning our take on a classic French look. A black leather blazer with gold-button detailing by L’Agence layered over a feminine, form fitting dress takes your Summer look from day to night. Rounded off with a timeless, neutral suede heel by Aquazzura.
Leather blazer: L’Agence // Dress: IRO // Shoes: Aquazzura
LOOK 2 AT LOCAL JONES
Located at the base of the Halcyon Hotel, Denver-favorite American eatery Local Jones is the perfect place to combine great food with good company. This humble, yet upscale neighborhood spot calls for a dressed-up casual ensemble (what A Line does best). We suggest a monochromatic, summer-forward one-piece with statement accessories, including a chunky gold chain necklace by Ben Amun and a celeb-favorite handbag from Carolina Santo Domingo. Add a comfortable, yet elevated kitten heel from Proenza Schouler for a designer-forward finish.

LOOK 3 AT BLUE ISLAND OYSTER BAR & SEAFOOD
Karmen at Blue Island Oyster with Sean Huggard
A Denver take on coastal attire is perfect for freshly-shucked oysters from Blue Island. You can’t go wrong with a sailor-stripe top—we chose a lightweight, short sleeve knit by L’Agence— paired with cayenne colored floral linen shorts (with built in belt) by Jonathan Simkhai. The look wouldn’t be complete without accents of gold, ruby, and Tahitian pearls from Ben Amun.
Earrings: Ben Amun // Top: L’agence // Shorts: Jonathan Simkhai
