New Envirosax

I love envirosax.

I love them so much that I have to stop myself from getting the new ones each time they come out with a new style. The latest, La Boheme, is so stunning that I have to think of people to give my old ones to so I can get new ones without feeling guilty. I love having them in my car, purse, and closet. They are just the best bag for almost every job and completely washable. They are too pretty to have just one, but for now, I'm trying not to have too many!

Bellissima Jewelry Design Trunk Show!!

One of my most popular lines in the past has been this line by Sarah Bridger of Bellissima Jewlery Design. She's sending tons of jewelry for a trunk show, and you're all invited! Her jewelry is exquisite.

Saturday, November 14th 2009

All Day, 10-5pm

Come early and get the best selection!

From the Bellisima Jewelry Design website:

Designs combine semi-precious stones, shell, wood, bone, glass, crystal, sterling silver, gold, and some vintage materials to explore the relationships between elements like texture and color. With a great respect for nature, Sarah reinforces those ideas and inspirations in her work. Each piece is hand-crafted in limited quantities to ensure a level of individuality and distinctiveness within the Bellissima Jewelry Design collections.

Jeweled Bib Necklaces

Lucky Magazine

These are the coolest necklaces I've seen in a while, and they're going to be huge this fall! I'm starting to see them everywhere. I can't wait to get some in the store. They are perfect for a plain tank and a pair of jeans, or a dress. This necklace makes the whole outfit. I love a piece of jewelry that can stand alone. If I can't find any cool ones for the store, I might just have to make some!

From http://www.madonnarioffmain.com/: Witness modern-day masters of Madonnari, traditional Italian street painting dating back to the 16th century in which painters transform village street squares into colorful temporary galleries! Watch drab pavement evolve into a series of fabulous works of art alongside the Prairie Path from Main to Park!

There are six master artists. It will be really exciting to see their work.

Envirosax

Envirosax are back at Georgia Rae. Great new colors are so chic while saving the environment! Envirosax roll up and snap into a small lightweight roll that fits easily anywhere. They hold about twice as much as a plastic bag and can be carried on your shoulder so they're great for an all day shopping trip. Strong and easy to wash, perfect for the Farmer's Market or taking toys to Grandma's house. I keep finding great uses for them!

Handmade Aprons

I just got the most adorable handmade aprons.  Just in time for Mother's Day.  Each one is unique and most are made from vintage and repurposed fabrics.   Some of the aprons are reversible and all are adorable!  Each one is a memory waiting to be made.  

We have extremely limited quantities so stop in to see them soon!

The Day Clutch

Tylie Malibu Equestrian Clutch

I love love love clutches during the day. What better way to dress up your basic jeans, T-shirt, and flats than a cute clutch. The fact that it's a little bit impractical is one of the things I love about the "Day Clutch". We've all got clutches that are great at night, but would also be great during the day! Why not use them? If it's too much to juggle, put your essentials in a clutch and throw it in your purse (or diaper bag)...when you have to run in somewhere, just grab it and go.

Latico Eel Skin Clutch

Save The Date Mar. 14

Latico Trunk Show

Show Special:

20% Off all Latico Bags

Latico has some great bags for Spring and Summer. They're using some exciting new colors and leathers. This Spring, it's all about bright fun colors. Check out this bright yellow tote to the right. I love the pockets. And the "Rosebud" leather at the top of the page from the Bettina Collection. So cute!

New at Georgia Rae

We just got in some really cute distressed hats. I love this one in Navy. They came in really nice Khaki, Navy, Black, and Army Green colors. Super easy to just throw on any time.


















We also just got in some really cute scarves for Spring and Summer. Scarves are a great way to add a pop of color to your wardrobe quick and easy!

Coming Soon: Melie Bianco

StyleMax January 2009

We've already started getting Spring items in the store. Orders from LODIS, Some fun sunglasses, Melie Bianco should be here any day and of course, LOTS of jewelry.

On Monday I will be at StyleMax at the Merchandise Mart viewing and ordering for Spring, Summer and Fall 2009. In March, it's back to LA for market at the California Mart.

We had a very good 2008 at a time when the economy is uncertain, that makes us very happy. Thanks to all of you who supported us this Holiday Season. Looking forward to a great 2009!
