TUESDAY, Dec. 1

Giving Tuesday – Join Us!

Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving has been designated as a global day dedicated to giving back.

On Dec. 1, we will be participating in several ways.

• We continue to collect new and slightly used coats, hats and gloves, as well as new socks, toiletries and boxed and canned goods, for the Nyack Homeless Project.

On Tuesday, if you stop in and make a donation to the Nyack Homeless Project, we will say thanks by giving you 10% off one item in either Maria Luisa Boutique or ML by Maria Luisa.

• Here at Maria Luisa, you well know our ML/GL (Maria Luisa/Global Local) initiative has just passed its first anniversary. We hope you will consider this among your options when it comes time to give back on this day. As always, all online orders will give you the chance to designate to which organization we will donate 10% of your purchase price – the Nyack Center, People to People, VCS Pride or the ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund.

On Tuesday, stop by in person and make a monetary donation to the ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund and we’ll thank you in very special way – by giving you 10% off your entire order in either shop up to the value of your donation. (For example, donate $10 and receive a maximum of $10 off a purchase of up to $100; donate $25 to receive a maximum of $25 off a purchase of up to $250).

As you can see, Maria Luisa Whittingham was right when she said, “It’s simple to be part of Giving Tuesday.”

                                                           

Once again, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Maria Luisa & Co.

MARK THOSE CALENDARS There's a lot to let you know about this month and into December.

We are again happily serving as a "drop-off point" for donations to the Nyack Homeless Project, which is collecting new and slightly used coats, hats and gloves, as well as new socks, toiletries and canned/boxed foods. 

Stop by and make a donation through Dec. 22.

And remember that crazy-busy span of shopping days is just around the corner. Yes, it will kick off in both our shops on Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving (when we are closed to celebrate with our families and friends), continue into Small Business Saturday and then return for Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday.

Stay tuned for complete details of our special sales and events.

And don't forget, we're planning another seasonal Wish List, which allows you to gently suggest some things you might especially like to those people shopping for YOU (how nice!).  Check out our Nyack calendar of events.

Again, stay tuned for full details.

Just for kids

You might not think of Maria Luisa when it comes to shopping for kids, but that would be a mistake.

Sure, we’re not considered children’s boutiques but that doesn’t mean we don’t carry all kinds of merchandise ideal for the younger set.

Perhaps you want to buy your child something special, something to keep them occupied during a car ride on an autumn getaway - or maybe you’ll be hosting your nieces and nephews or grandchildren this fall?

Maybe their wardrobes just need a bit of freshening up.

There’s always an opportunity to pick up something lovely at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa – no matter the recipient’s age.

So, stop by to browse our items ideal for children, from sweaters and fun little outfits to books, toys and, yes, even a few stuffed animals.

They’re kids, after all!

IN THE SPIRIT OF THE SEASON

Once again, we are happy to be participating in the annual drive of the Nyack Homeless Project.

The organization’s 2015 Winter Drive is now under way, with the nonprofit seeking the following for men, women and children:

• New and slightly used coats, hats and gloves

• New socks, toiletries and canned/boxed food.

Maria Luisa Boutique is a drop-off point for donations, which will be collected through Dec. 22.

We thank you for your past support of this important effort and hope you are able to make a donation again this year.

And then there was one…

If you went to one this year, you know what a fun time it is.

If you didn’t, you still have a chance.

We’re talking about the Famous Nyack Street Fair – and

the last edition of 2015 is set for Sunday, Oct. 12.

We, as you know, participate in each and every street fair.

We offer special promotions both inside and out, setting

up shop outside our side-by-side storefronts, as well.

It’s the chance to see all that’s new, snag some great deals

and simply visit, eat, shop, listen to music and have fun.

What’s not to love?

The Famous Nyack Street Fair will run, as always, from 10

a.m. to 5 p.m. rain or shine.

We promise this one will close out the season in fine style.

See you there!

Fall into color, texture

Dress Toppers by Wooden Ships

Who says that just because summer is over we have to

tone it down?

We sure don’t.
Here at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa we’re

all about fall’s wonderful array of rich hues and incredible

textures, as always worked within our enduring

framework of fit, comfort and style.
Stop by and see all that’s new – there’s plenty.

And here’s just a quick glimpse at some of our favorites.

Tibetan Flower Socks

MOD Tunic Dress

Hand Stitched Leather Boots

Drawing your own serenity

Remember those days when your only care was having
enough time to play before dinner?

Well, we can’t return you to that innocent era, but we can

help you perhaps re-create the feeling of those carefree

days.

By now, we’re sure you’ve heard of the “adult coloring-book craze.”
It’s being touted as a sure way to serenity.
Basically, you take up the colors and simply lose yourself in a picture. Concentrating on the design, choosing your

color scheme… you are in complete control. That’s right –

you don’t have to answer to anyone. It’s a complete break

from work assignments, errands, laundry and other

chores.

Sounds like a pretty pleasant escape, no?
To date, more than a million people have purchased the

coloring books by Johanna Basford, credited with starting

the trend.

We’ve got her titles in stock – and just a quick glance

shows you you’re going to see these are not designed for

your average tot.

No, these are sophisticated and intricate designs that will
keep you – and your mind – occupied for as long as you’re

willing.

New designs, such as an oversize book devoted to

cityscapes, have also arrived.
Come by and see what all the fuss is about.
And let us know if you’d be interested in a workshop

devoted to these books.

We think it would be fun to color, de-stress and share time

together, don’t you?


Maria Luisa

A Quick Getaway

Some are lucky to be able to take long vacations during the summer months; others savor quick jaunts –fantastic day trips or extended weekends.

Either way, a change of scenery can do wonders for the spirit, and though we’re closer to the end of summer than the beginning, there is still plenty of time to get away.

And it’s easier than ever to make those trips super stylish – and stress free.

(After all, who wants to stress over what to wear on vacation?).

Stop by Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa, where we have a great selection of picks ideal to add finishing touches to your vacation wardrobes. (And see, you waited, so a lot is on sale!).

Think hats and sandals, lightweight shawls and scarves, totes and casual tanks. Perhaps you even want to grab a tank dress in a solid hue, making everything easy to coordinate?

And don’t forget to grab a decorated journal or some lovely candles – for a hostess gift or for yourself as you carve some “me time” into your trip.

In tune, with Maria Luisa

All of us here at Maria Luisa – including Maria Luisa Whittingham herself – love music.

You might catch us humming (or bopping) along to the great tunes we play in our shops.

That love of music – along with a continued commitment to the community – is what has Maria Luisa Boutique once again serving as one of the sponsors of two annual summer music series in the village:

* The annual Mostly Music concert series presented by Friends of the Nyacks.
On Tuesdays during the summer, from 7:30 p.m., Memorial Park hosts these free concerts. The music is varied, from funk to folk to jazz and rock. (The park is at the foot of Depew, at the Hudson River).

This year’s schedule series continues with:

Aug. 4: Mr. Gone, featuring Peter Fallon and Neil Alexander playing early ’70s jazz fusion.

Aug. 11: The Crusty Gentlemen, offering “big barn-burning bluegrass.”

Bring a blanket, pack some dinner or snacks – and enjoy.

And yes, you can dance along if you’re so inspired.

We, of course, have been known to do just that.

* The annual Music in the Garden at The Hopper House series.

The back garden of the Edward Hopper House, at 82 N. Broadway, is again hosting its annual series of jazz evenings, from 7:30 to 9:30 Thursdays.

The schedule continues with:

Aug. 6: Dom Cicchetti Trio.

Aug. 13: Ben Kono Group.

Again, bring a blanket or lawn chair. Refreshments will be available for purchase prior to the concerts and during intermission. A $5 donation is recommended and helps support the preservation of the house and grounds.

Cool jazz, hot nights… what’s not to love?

There’s something about turquoise …

Have you noticed? 

                                                  The moment it starts to heat up, it makes what seems like its annual return.  Sure, every color has its fans – but somehow turquoise just seems synonymous with warmer weather.

At first it might be some great earrings that suddenly scream to be worn or maybe a lightweight scarf.

Next thing you know, it’s showing up everywhere from T-shirts to tank tops, dresses to wildly patterned skirts.

             You grab for the turquoise-accented bag or the straw hat with a turquoise band circling its top.

It flatters all skin tones, all ages… what’s not to love?

Of course, summer is the time when we feel the draw of the brights – the corals and the lemons, the mints and the lilacs.

But don’t you agree that there is, indeed, something about turquoise?

And if this has you thinking about adding to your own wardrobe’s options in this vibrant hue, both Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa have plenty of options.

Here are just a handful; come in and have fun looking for so many more.

AT HOME with MARIA LUISA

 Of course, you know us for our fashions, accessories and gift ideas.

(At least we hope you do!!).
But did you also know we strive to be your go-to destination for a selection of well-edited home accessories.

We hope by now you’re well familiar with the lower level of ML by Maria Luisa, where you can find our dedicated furniture ‘department.’

We’ve got tables and lamps, coasters and vases, wall art and items for both the kitchen and tabletop.

We have also recently added some home-themed goods to a dedicated spot in the sunny back room of Maria Luisa Boutique.

So be sure to explore it all next time you’re in.

Better yet, make a point to come in just to check it all out.
With spring birthdays and the long-awaited outdoor entertaining season coming up, bet you'll be glad you did!
