MARIA LUISA DOES LABOR DAY WEEKEND – BIG!!!



 Yes, we know… Labor Day is not the official end of summer.

But for most everyone, it sure seems to mark the end of the “playful” season.
It doesn’t have to, though – and here at Maria Luisa, we have plenty planned for Labor Day weekend (and beyond) to keep the fun going.

Maybe you’ve got a big backyard blow-out planned for the holiday – or are getting out of town for a long weekend (lucky you!). Stop by our shops for fashions, accessories (beach towels and totes), home goods and of course, hostess gifts that will ensure you’re invited back again and again.

The best part? There’s still time to qualify for our official Summer Raffle. We kicked it off in July and continuing through the end of August, earn tickets through in-store purchases at both Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa. Prizes will be drawn on Labor Day weekend and may include anything from a $50 gift card to a Maria Luisa T-shirt, a certificate for 30% off any item to a signature Maria Luisa drinking glass. Check out the full details posted at the register in both our shops.
Breast Cancer Awareness Fashion Show
As mentioned, Labor Day might seem like the end of the fun but it’s actually leading right into some great happenings that include the SeptemberFest Street Fair (Sept. 9), which will this year feature a teaming up of the Nyack Chamber of Commerce with Montefiore Nyack Hospital to include a Breast Cancer Awareness Fashion Show – yes, we are participating – from noon to 1 p.m. There’s also another edition of the Famous Nyack Street Fair set for Oct. 7; the blockbuster Nyack Halloween Parade Oct. 27 – and an autumn Sidewalk Sale (details coming).

Check out our Community Calendar for these and other great events.
And a friendly reminder, as it’s on a Monday, our shops will be closed on Labor Day itself.
The Maria Luisa team will be taking a breather with friends and family – and we hope you’ll be doing the same!

BACK TO SCHOOL = A FRESH START


Funny, but no matter how many years we’ve officially been out of school, this time of the year is always “back-to-school” season.

Sometimes it’s literal. We might be heading back for additional training, have a child who’s about to start a new grade or new school or maybe even are a teacher ourselves.
SHOP HOBO LEATHERS

But more often, it’s just the sense that come September, it’s time to embrace a fresh start, get a little more “serious” about things we need to do – and start to look forward to a productive autumn and wonderful holiday season (yes, that will be here soon, too).

SHOP AUTUMN FASHIONS

There’s also always that feeling that back-to-school is the time for new things, from a handy notebook or journal (to finally get organized) to an addition or two (or more) to the wardrobe.
BACK TO SCHOOL FOOTWEAR

Here at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa, this is the time of year when we’re also welcoming the first of our fall fashions, footwear and accessories. Some have been arriving for the past few weeks, while others are due any day and will continue to arrive in coming weeks. (As always, we love to spread the excitement, spotlighting the latest arrivals on our social media).
We recently spent several days at NY NOW, a mega-trade show at the Javits Center in Manhattan, searching for unique and meaningful things to bring into our shops – which, again, are arriving soon. We think you’re going to love what we’ve chosen – and can’t wait to see your reactions.
HOSIERY THAT MAKES US SMILE



So, why not stop in soon to check it all out? Maybe you’ll find a new tote or pair of shoes or boots (we do eventually have to let the skimpy sandals go), a sweater, pair of pants, dress or even a scarf, earrings or maybe some new readers.


After all, with all that “schooling” in mind, you’ll want to look studious – and stylish.
See you soon!

If you’re tired of the long, hot summer and ready for something special, then you’ll want to read on about all that’s to be found at Maria Luisa Boutique, ML by Maria Luisa – and come Saturday, on the sidewalk out front of both our South Broadway shops.

August’s “Real Deals” are under way, including our ongoing summer clearance sale. 
SUMMER SALE

Stop by now, too, for the chance to be among the first to see our early autumn merchandise, perfect for those days transitioning between the seasons.

And – this weekend marks the arrival of the much-anticipated Nyack Summer Sidewalk Sale.
Yes, merchants and businesses throughout the village will be celebrating their status as brick-and-mortar destinations where it’s possible to shop local – and come away with not only some amazing finds but with savings to match.
NYACK - BRICK AND MORTAR  - SIDEWALK  SALE
Saturday’s “outdoor party” of sorts will officially kick off at noon, so plan to spend the afternoon – and early evening – in town. Our plans are really coming together – we like to keep the mystery alive – but know if you stop by, you’ll be glad you did.
And remember, our summer-long raffle continues all month, with the prizes to be drawn on Labor Day weekend.
Stay tuned to our social media throughout the week for more hints.

Can’t wait to see you soon!  Maria Luisa

STREET TALK…

If you didn’t catch our announcement in the summer edition of the Maria Luisa newsletter, we’re here to remind you to “save the date” for a big event planned for later this month – and we really think you’ll want to add it to your calendar.

We are enthusiastically joining in Nyack’s Summer Sidewalk Sale, to be held from noon to 8 p.m. Aug. 18.
MORE INFO

 
It will be a real “outdoor party” of sorts – as the village comes to life with its brick-and-mortar shops and businesses extending their reach right out their front doors.

What a fun way to shop local.

Here, we’re finalizing the plans but know they will include special deals on the great finds featured in both Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa, plus some surprises…

Oh yeah, it’s going to be something!

We’ll have many more details to share in next week’s blog, the week of the event – and will continue to update through our social media in the days before the Sidewalk Sale.
We are excited and hope you are, too.

Save the date – and we’ll see you then!
