Greer's OC

One of the best designer consignment shops in Orange County, OnQueStyle in Corona del Mar is celebrating its reopening and expansion with a Pink Carpet event for charity tonight from 6 to 9 p.m.

Owner, Kristen Prosser, a fashion designer, runway specialist and personal style consultant is also debuting OnQueStyle’s new program called Your Clothes.Your Cause to encourage people to participate in charitable giving by donating items from their closets. You can schedule an appointment to consign designer apparel, handbags, shoes and accessories and when it sells you can make a contribution of any amount to the charity of your choice. Also, OnQueStyle will donate an additional 10% to the charity. With the closets in Orange County that get updated with the seasons, this is a win-win for everyone.

Prosser recently donated a brand new highly sought-after Hermes Birkin handbag to Beckstrand Cancer Foundation at the Diamond & Pearl Ball (pictured above) for their live auction which received a final bid of $24,000.

OnQueStyle Boutique is at 2900 East Coast Highway in
