A fashionable birthday
Beacon Hill boutique Cibeline is toasting its first year on Charles Street next Thursday evening with a sample sale and fashion show at The Liberty Hotel. The sale happens from 5 to 9 p.m. at the hotel's Alibi Bar + Lounge and will have chic dresses, jackets, pants, and skirts designed by boutique owner Cibeline Sariano for $100 (or up to 80 percent off original prices). The fashion show, part of the hotel's "Fashionably Late" series, kicks off at 10 p.m. and features Sariano's holiday collection. If you go, be sure to pick up a discount card good for a future visit to the store. The Liberty Hotel is at 215 Charles St., Boston, 617-224-4000. For more on Cibeline, visit www.cibelinesariano.com
