From across Hennepin Avenue, something caught LoAnne Turner's eye as she waited to catch a Saturday movie with her girlfriends at the Landmark Uptown Theater.

"It was the colors that grabbed my attention," she said as she examined the window display of the clothing store Heartbreaker. "Then, of course, the shoes. It's beautiful."

The display, a tea party complete with a place setting serving up shoes instead of tea, was part of a University of Minnesota class project.

The women were shocked to learn the display had been entirely designed and constructed by students.

"I hope they got an A," Turner said.

For the third consecutive year, students enrolled in the Visual Merchandising class through the Department of Design, Housing and Apparel created 14 storefront window presentations for Uptown businesses through a partnership between the University, the American Heart Association and the Uptown Association of Minneapolis.

$5 sunglasses alert: ragstock and heartbreaker

"Looking for cheap, stylish sunglasses? Find both at Heartbreaker and Ragstock stores. Both stores boast a large selection of shades for just $5.00. Choose from one of the many styles and colors. You can afford to get a few pair at that great price. Keep one in your purse and one in the car, so you'll never be without protection in the sun. Most shades have a sticker that claims "100% UV protection" on them. Visit both locations in Uptown, where the stores are within a couple blocks of each other. Ragstock has five locations within the Twin Cities (and a few in outlying cities), and Heartbreaker has three locations in the city."
