Newsletter - November 2007

NOTE FROM STACY

As we head into the start of a busy holiday season remember to take time for YOU! It seems that we all try to fit so many activities into our lives that we don't always take time for ourselves to relax and enjoy what it's all about. So allow yourself to have at least a few minutes of "me" time to rejuvenate and celebrate what wonderful things life has to offer. My best wishes for a blessed Thanksgiving.

MONTHLY SPECIAL

During the month of November we are featuring a bracelet you are sure to love. This special piece is made from glass beads in either black or ivory with a delicate gold leafing. It feels great on and looks even better! Enjoy it for only $6.99 with any $35 purchase.

FASHION TIP

You will notice in fall clothing lines there is a real emphasis on creating your own look and feel through layering and texture. This trend continues into the jewelry and accessories catagory and allows you to showcase your individual style. Start by choosing some of your favorite current pieces such as a traditional strand of pearls or even a simple solitaire and add a wonderful new necklace, earrings or bracelet from our Stacy McBride line. This way you can enjoy some of those special pieces while giving them an updated, fresh, look. Just take a look at the colors and textures, to make sure they compliment each other. It's all about having fun and showing off your unique style.
