MARIA LUISA EVENTS… AND MORE

You know that at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa, we consider ourselves a very active part of our Nyack community.
To us, that means everything from supporting and participating in village events to grabbing a bite – or drink  – in town after work, getting our hair done nearby or stopping in one of our neighboring shops to pick up a gift.

We know that your visits to Nyack are sometimes prompted by a desire to stop in at Maria Luisa and shop – or to take part in some of our local events.

That’s why we offer our Community Calendar – a listing put together for you, our loyal customers, to help you keep up on not only on our own store events but also the famed Nyack events (such as street fairs, concerts and the blockbuster Halloween Parade). 

We also spotlight benefits and events hosted by our local nonprofits whose work we support, as well as showcase the wealth of local art exhibitions, educational programs, films and theatrical events that we think you’d like to know about. 

We hope you’ll use our curated calendar of events to plan your visits to Nyack, or simply to check in and see what’s going on in town the next time you plan to stop by Maria Luisa.

We look forward to seeing you – in our shops – or at some of these events we spotlight.
Work local. Shop local. Enjoy local!

MAKE A WISH

Mother’s Day is just around the corner – May 13.
As we all know, it’s a chance to recognize our mothers – but it’s also a bit more than that.
It’s about recognizing those in your life who are “like a mother” to you – perhaps a sister, aunt, grandmother, best friend.
Wouldn’t it be nice to let those special ladies know how much they mean to you?
We love getting into the Mother’s Day spirit at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa, especially as our shops are filled with fashions, accessories, home goods and plenty of ideas that make an ideal gift, whether it’s a beautiful little token or a really elaborate presentation.
If you’re a mom and want to make it “easy” on those shopping for you – as we do during the holiday season – we’ll again be offering a “Mother’s Day Wish List,” and kicking it all off with a special party May 3.

Here’s a quick run-down of how it all works:
You come by our shops on May 3 – create a “wish list” of items that you’d love to receive (we’ll help you with suggestions and filling out the lists) – and then we’ll hold onto it. Your family and friends can then come in and shop for you from that list, knowing that they are purchasing you something that you’ll truly want – and love. It’s our spin on a gift registry.
As mentioned, we’ll begin our lists May 3, with a special party that evening. Stop by from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and have a snack, create your list – and simply enjoy the experience.
 
MARIA LUISA GIFT CARD
If you do some of your own shopping that night – you’ll receive 10% off your purchases up to $100 and 20% off your purchases of $100+.
And then, when those shopping for you return and shop off your list – from May 4 to May 10 – we’ll also offer then a 10% discount on those items.

Pretty much a win-win all the way around.
We hope to see you on May 3 – and Happy Mother’s Day in advance.

EARTH DAY-MORE THAN JUST A DAY AT MARIA LUISA

You all know how much we at Maria Luisa care about our environment, so it’s no
surprise to hear that for us, Earth Day is more than just a single day.
That commitment to protecting our environment is at the core of our philosophy,
something perhaps best evidenced by our “Say NO! to the Bag” initiative. Our reusable
Maria Luisa market bags are a signature item for us, one that we hope you proudly use
(and if not, don’t worry as you’ll see by reading on).

Where do you take your ML tote?

• Also under way is our “Say No! to the Bag” initiative contest. This is another
interactive campaign, with entries to be sent via Instagram and Facebook. Simply snap a
photo to show “Where do you take your purple ML reusable tote?” Do you BYO-bag to
the grocery store or the gym or the park? Let us know. Tag @marialuisanyack and use
the hashtags #saynotothebagpledge” in your posts.  


TAKE THE PLEDGE
(And help our
earth even further: If you’re merchant, employee or volunteer in a retail setting, pledge
to ask “Did you bring your own bag today?”
If the reply is no, then ask if they need a
bag. (You’ll be surprised how many people will say “no” and tuck the purchase into
their tote or backpack). And finally, as a consumer, recommit to our initiative: “I pledge
to forgo a bag and bring my own bag when shopping.
” Share the news and we can truly
create change!



As you can see, we really do care about you, our customers, and the Earth – our home!


And don’t forget, if you’re not already a subscriber to our blog – sign up to follow us by
Earth Day and you’ll be entered into our Earth Day Blog Contest – the winners will receive their choice of a Maria Luisa re-usable market bag or our signature upcycled ML
drinking glass.


Happy (everyday) Earth Day to all!

A MOST FASHIONABLE SPRING




Spring’s the time of renewal, of fresh starts and new perspectives.
In that spirit, we ask, “How’s your closet doing?”

If like most of us, your answer is along the lines of “meh” – then we have the fashionable solution.

At Maria Luisa Boutique, these days are all about freshening up – adding a few subtle changes – or for the really daring, an entirely new spin on your wardrobe.

When it comes to spring fashions, looks that will also carry you through the rest of the year with clever layering and savvy mixing-and-matching, we’ve got plenty of options.
We are filled with new arrivals from our tried-and-true brands – along with some lovely new additions.
More of our Favorite Things

As expected, we have tops and pants, dresses and jackets, scarves, bags, jewelry and footwear… don’t get us started on the footwear – one of our favorite categories that we know you also love.
So, haven’t these days of chill, wind – and snow that never (never!) seems to be done – put us through enough?
YES!!
Come on in and see what we have in store for your spring/summer looks – and beyond – and don’t forget, you can always shop, or preview our collections, online at marialuisaboutique or shoptiques.com.

But we do hope you’ll stop by for a look – and a chat.

After all, our team members like nothing more than showing off all the new fashions and accessories we have selected … with you in mind.
