<br /></div>
Catching up with Maria Luisa Whittingham on a recent morning proved more than a bit, we have to say it, inspiring.<br />
She was just back from a trip to <b>Cuba</b> and shared not only stories and memories but also how the trip had impacted her in so many ways.<br />
“What it has definitely done is (<b>it</b>) <b>ignited a fire under creativity for me</b>,” she said, already talking about plans for both her shops based on things she saw and experienced in her time there.<br />
<br />
She talked about visiting with artists and seeing work exhibited, of meeting artisans at work and most important, getting a sense of the local communities during her time in both Havana and in short trips to other parts of the country.<br />

<br />
In particular, she spoke of <b>Fábrica de Arte Cubano</b>, a modern, multi-level space in Havana that features art, artists, music, digital elements, food and more. Its invigorating environment was, she said, “so awesome” and it was, truly, a place “where life is happening.”<br />
It was one of so many experiences that she had – and a real step toward what she has been saying 2019 would be all about – a year of change and forward motion.<br />
<br />
“For me, it’s a year of exploration and more of really ‘<b>walking the walk</b>,’” she said.<br />
To that end, she said the trip has sparked her to once again re-commit to her goals, to “dive deeper into the authentic areas of <b>Fair Trade</b> and artisan-made” products.<br />
And, she added, she’s even more enthusiastic about “creating the opportunities for our community to explore its own creativity within our space.” <br />

Maria will be off again in a few weeks, this time traveling with like-minded retailers from across the country to<b> India</b>. They will be meeting with local artists and artisans; Maria said she looks forward to connecting with those whose work is carried here, while also be cultivating new contacts and sources.<br />
This trip will also be about, she said, learning firsthand, from face-to-face conversations with some of the artisans already supported in the shops. Once again, she knows she will have many stories to bring home and share.<br />

It will, she is confident, also continue to provide her with even more inspiration for growth.<br />
“At Maria Luisa, it has to be more,” she said. It’s about creating a vision that “feeds our community.”<br />
And though India is ahead, she’s not ready to leave Cuba behind.<br />
After all, the visit to Cuba had indeed kicked her 2019 vision into high gear – and though she had already been home a few days, the journey’s impact was tangible.<br />
It wasn’t at all surprising, then, when she said, “I still dream that I’m in Cuba.”<br />
<br />
But as we all know, what Maria Luisa dreams, she makes come true – so stay tuned to see how her travels will continue to impact what she does in – and brings into – the world of Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa.<br />

In addition, we have replenished and expanded some of our most popular candles and home fragrances, ideal selections to bring a bit of wintertime serenity.<br />
And don’t forget our <span style="color: red;">Winter Sale </span>continues, with offerings now priced at the best deals.<br />
We like to think this all adds up to something definitely worth the trip, especially as we’d love nothing more than seeing you and hearing how your winter has been going. If you’ve not been in recently, we promise you’ll find a <i>“new and improved”</i> Maria Luisa is now fully in place.<br />
Always moving forward, we ask you to also keep in mind that there’s still plenty to come. Stay tuned for details of our first <a href="https://conta.cc/2Ec6x4I"><span style="color: red;">2019 Doorbuster sale</span></a>, set for next Saturday, March 2.<br />
<br />
And we’re going to be announcing a <i>new</i> ML venture in May… don’t you just love the suspense? We thought so!!<br />

<br />Both our shops are filled with options ideal for anyone on your list – and designed to fit most any budget.<br />
<br />We have the little treats – and we have the oh-you-shouldn’t-have (but so glad you did) splurges.<br />There are candles and earrings, scarves and necklaces, journals and fragrances, bags and belts.<br />And of course, we have plenty of tops, pants, skirts, footwear and more – to give or to buy and wear on your special <b>Valentine’s Day </b>celebration.<br />
<br />There are items of red and items with a touch of lace, items for a night out or an evening in – and lots of quirky little finds (socks with playful sayings, zippered pouches with phrases designed to make someone laugh) to sweet little gifts for the younger set.<br />
<br />If you’re buying for your spouse or sister, best friend or daughter, grandchildren or favorite teacher – anyone you want to remember on this special day – we have the choices.<br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">One of last year’s good (<i>very</i> good) things was the introduction of the results of our new collaboration with Nyack-based artist <b>Johanna Goodman.</b> We unveiled the award-winning illustrator’s latest work, an exclusive collection of totes, pillows and shower curtains for Maria Luisa, during our December holiday party and we can share that there’s plenty more, including a special Edward Hopper-inspired bag, pillows and shower curtains so stay tuned.</span></div>

<br />
But before we leave <b>2018</b> behind, we’re taking a moment – as we like to do here at <a href="https://www.marialuisaboutique.com/secure/admin/customers.aspx#">Maria Luisa</a> – to reflect on the year.<br />
<br />
And what a year it was, thanks in large part to you, our loyal customers.<br />
First, we want to thank you for your ongoing support – not only for your dedication to shopping local but also your joining us at special events, helping to raise funds and awareness and quite simply, for your loyalty and friendship. It’s the most rewarding part of life here at Maria Luisa.<br />
<br />
Our year got off to a healthy start with the #ML Faves For Good participating in Nyack’s annual <b>Resolution Run</b>, a through-the-streets walk/run designed to raise funds to combat hunger in our own community. We’ll be doing it again in the new year – with the <b>2019 event set for Jan. 5</b>; please join us! --->SIGN UP-DONATE HERE---><a href="https://www.firstgiving.com/team/383211"> NYACK RESOLUTION RUN/WALK</a><br />
<br />
That on-the-road spirit continued throughout the year, with #ML Faves again gathering to participate in the 31st annual <b>Women’s Distance Festival</b> in July at Rockland Lake State Park in Congers. Our team had another strong showing – helping raise funds for the Center for Safety and Change, an organization that we have long supported. (We’ll be there again in 2019; save the date of July 13 and plan to join us). Registration begins on Janyuary 11, 2019.<br />

We also took to the streets… of South Broadway, participating in each and every Nyack street fair held throughout the year, from the SpringFest through the last event in October. Village events are a mainstay of the Maria Luisa calendar, as we often tie in special store activities and promotions to events going on in the community such as the annual Halloween Parade.<br />
<br />
This year also saw us, for the first time, presenting two awards through our <b>ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund.</b> The program has been expanded – and thanks to your ongoing and generous support – we were able to recognize both Ruth Uriarte and Katherine Bacolas. As you know, the scholarship program is something we are especially proud of, this year expanding to recognize both a Nyack High School senior and a senior from anywhere in the county. We also now invite applications from any female graduating senior as well as those who identify as female – and look forward to our next presentation toward the end of the academic year. (Stay tuned for an announcement about the 2019 program and application details). DONATE ---><a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=V3uTj_dx_xcng74iPSFqSB0tP6tbj2PAJFT0x6r8e2p7de8U4wmaUE01RJgqqVeAxv3jbm&country.x=US&locale.x=US">HERE</a><br />
<br />
Throughout the year, we have continued our commitment to artist- and artisan-made goods, sustainable production and <b>Fair Trade</b> principles, adding new merchandise that reflects our new discoveries. In addition, we’re continually impressed – and inspired – by how many customers support our “<a href="https://www.change.org/p/say-no-to-the-bag"><b>Say NO! to the Bag</b></a>” initiative, bringing their own bags or purchasing the reusable Maria Luisa shopper. Village events are a mainstay of the Maria Luisa calendar, as we often tie in special store activities and promotions to events going on in the community such as the annual Halloween Parade. We celebrated the whole day of the parade in store, while also taking part in the main event itself. ML team members and friends once again wore eco-minded costumes to raise awareness of the power of recycling as we walked the village streets in this most-popular Nyack event.<br />
We saw that often during the holiday season, which was especially rewarding – as was this year’s holiday party. Sure, it was a chance to kick back and have some fun while helping you with your own holiday shopping, but this year’s event was something really special.<br />
<br />
The early December evening served as the official introduction of one of our most exciting efforts to date, the collaboration with Nyack-based artist and illustrator <b>Johanna Goodman</b>. The teaming up with this amazingly talented woman has been quite a creative endeavor, as we developed an exclusive collection of totes, pillows and shower curtains based on her signature “<b>The Catalogue of Imaginary Beings</b>” series. The designs have been a hit, as we knew they would be – and we look forward to expanding the line in the new year.<br />
<br />
As you can see, 2018 was a great year at Maria Luisa, one filled with milestones and memories.<br />
<br />
In that spirit of moving ever forward, we’re excited for 2019, and hope you are, as well.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned to next week’s blog for details on some more of what’s planned for 2019 at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa.<br />
<br />
And until we see you in the shops to say it in person, HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us at Maria Luisa.<br />

<br />Speaking of families, we wanted to take a moment to wish our own <b>Lindsay</b> the very best. If you’ve been in recently, you may have noticed that she’s expecting – she and her husband are soon to welcome their first child. We’ll certainly miss her during her impending maternity leave, but as I’m sure you do, wish her every happiness – and can’t wait to meet the little one.<br />

Seems we go through each day – focused on the tasks at hand – and suddenly, weeks have passed.<br />
Sure, we all have to get by… but when it comes to holiday shopping, sometimes that can get away from us.<br />

We have luxurious candles, rich body lotions and special ornaments, specialty cookbooks and distinctive home goods, bags and totes, scarves and sweaters, boots, jewelry (lots of jewelry) – and of course, items from our exclusive partnership with Nyack-based artist <b>Johanna Goodman</b>. Introduced at our Holiday Party earlier this month, these have been simply flying off the shelves. You’ll feel good giving something made by an artist or an artisan, often local, or a product created by a small business just like ours or one that follows Fair Trade practices.</div>
It really adds another layer to your gift-gifting, no matter the season. And if you’re still in need of that finishing touch or entire outfit, don’t forget our shops are filled with fashions or accessories for you, too!<br />

And remember, even if you don’t know what to get for someone on your list, the Maria Luisa gift certificate always fits – and thanks to you, also gives your recipients the fun of shopping for themselves.<br />

We hope you were able to join us this past Friday for our annual Holiday Party, a great event that included the unveiling of our exciting collaboration with Nyack-based artist <b>Johanna Goodman</b> – with her captivating collages translated to tote bags, pillows, shower curtains and, of course, beautiful prints. It was an evening that also showcased the work of jewelry designer Lisa Medoff, whose work we have long supported.<br />

The spirits were high – and the sense of community strong. It was lovely for us to see so many loyal – and a few new – customers stop by and support what we do day in and day out.<br />
And that is strive to bring you quality, comfortable, stylish – and thoughtful – fashions, accessories and more. We pride ourselves on seeking out goods created by artists, artisans, Fair Trade and small businesses, whether they’re around the corner or around the world.<br />
And we thank you for “returning the favor” – deciding to spend your hard-earned dollars in our shops, supporting what we do as a woman-owned small business.<br />
<br />
It’s not just happening here – but something consumers around the country are also supporting, especially during these challenging economic times.<br />
WCIA, a TV station in Champaign, Illinois, for example, has a great piece on why shopping local matters, which mentions, in part, that local businesses often have better service overall since they are used to “taking time to know their customers and having passion for their products or services.”<br />
<br />
That’s definitely true of us here at <b>Maria Luisa</b>.<br />
You may recall that we put our philosophy out there in an op-ed piece a few years back on <a href="https://www.lohud.com/story/opinion/contributors/2014/08/30/view-maria-luisa-small-business-merchants/14808393/">LoHud.com</a> that said, in part, “Season after season, we all work hard to offer distinctive goods, confirming our unique identities. Most of us sell goods personally selected for our customers, not generic goods mandated by a faraway corporate office. We, because of our size, can quickly respond to customer requests and see what best connects with them. Our products are often a reflection of ourselves and our beliefs.”<br />

It’s always been true – and will remain true.<br />
So we look forward to seeing you often this holiday season, helping you buy something special for those you love – or even a treat for yourself – and sharing the good will of the season.<br />

Here are the details:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A MOST ARTFUL HOLIDAY
EVENT</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">4 to 8 p.m. FRIDAY,
Dec. 7</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Maria Luisa</b> invites you to stop by for a very special
edition of our annual Holiday <b>‘Wish List’ Event.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The party – in addition to offering us the chance to raise a
glass and have a few light bites in recognition of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all </i>of this season’s holidays – is designed to offer the chance to not
only dive into your holiday shopping but also allow you to create a holiday
wish list, which gently offers suggestions to those who will be coming in this
month to shop for you! We’ll have special promotions, raffles and more
throughout the evening, one of our favorite events of the year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The evening’s
centerpiece will be the unveiling of the collaboration between Maria Luisa
Boutique and Nyack-based artist Johanna Goodman – and we couldn’t be more
excited to formally announce this news.</b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Goodman, an award-winning illustrator whose work has graced
the pages of The New York Times to Rolling Stone, from work for the MTA to
decorative goods carried by West Elm, is noted for her striking “The Catalogue
of Imaginary Beings” series. Her work is amazing – and we think you’ll love
what is hitting the Maria Luisa shelves (think totes, pillows and shower curtains)
… another way we’re proud to support local talent, creativity and initiative.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The evening will also showcase a number of other local
artists and artisans whose work we support throughout the year including one of
our newest brands, MacKenzie83, which recently hosted a trunk show of
sustainable leather accessories; and jewelry from a perennial favorite, Lisa
Medoff Designs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As always, stay tuned to our social media for event updates
throughout the week – but we hope we’ve given you enough of a glimpse that
you’re already planning to join us. We can’t wait to show you all we have in
store – and thank you in person for your continued support throughout the year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
•••</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And, of course, we have another recipe from the Maria Luisa
team to share – this week, something special from Cameron, our accountant.
(See, everyone gets in on this sharing!).</div>

This Recipe:</b> This recipe is so easy to put together, and it’s fun to watch fluff

Of course, we’re also sharing another recipe (actually two) from members of the Maria Luisa team in this edition of our blog, which we’ll do throughout the holiday season – we hope it inspires you to try out some new recipes or just pull out some of you own favorites that perhaps you haven’t made in awhile.

Another Recipe… and SALE DETAILS<br />
<br />
We want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving – and simply say that we are grateful for each one of you – for your friendship, loyalty and support since we first opened in 1987.<br />
With the wintery weather having arrived a bit early, we’d like to remind you that we are again collecting winter coats and accessories to be donated to the Nyack Homeless Project. In addition to our food drive for People to People, this coat drive will also help those less fortunate in our community – so we hope you’ll drop by and add a gently used (or new) item to our collection bin.<br />
And of course, we wish you all a relaxing holiday – one that you’ll share with family and friends. As we’ve been doing, the blog will end with another recipe from a member of the Maria Luisa team – and this time, it’s from Maria herself.<br />
But… of course, Thanksgiving naturally leads to Black Friday – and a weekend full of holiday shopping. If you’re like us, you love shopping for distinct gifts with meaning, supporting artists, artisans and small businesses (like ours!), so read on for a few details that we think you’ll really love. <br />

<br />
<b>Directions</b><br />
• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.<br />
• In a large clean glass or metal bowl, whip the egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until they can hold a soft peak. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. Fold in the lemon zest. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.<br />
• Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven or until they peel off of the sheet without resistance. • Cool on wire racks, then store in an airtight container at room temperature.<br />
<br />
What I love about this recipe – Meringues take me back to baking with my mom in my childhood home of Puerto Rico. <br />
<br />
Once again, Happy Thanksgiving to you!<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">As we inch closer toward Thanksgiving, thoughts naturally turn to … were you going to say long lines at the grocery store? No – ha! – we mean gratitude.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Here at <b>Maria Luisa</b>, we continue to welcome the holiday season and embrace that spirit of gratitude, so first up, thanks to all who joined us Nov. 8 for our special evening dedicated to sustainable shopping. We not only hosted a trunk show featuring <a href="https://www.mackenzie83.com/"><b>MacKenzie83</b></a> – a brand founded by a charming local accessories designer with a real commitment to sustainability – but also raised funds for the <a href="http://www.centerforsafetyandchange.org/"><b>Center for Safety and Change</b></a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">And in that spirit of giving, as started here last week, we’re going to continue to share some of the <b>Maria Luisa team members’ favorite recipes</b>. (And if you’d like to share one of your favorites with the Maria Luisa “community,” let us know – we’d love to help you do just that, in a future blog or via our social media platforms).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">This week, we continue with a dish from <b>Susan </b>that sounds just fantastic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Perhaps you’ll try it out, as we plan to, and add it to your holiday or year-round repertoire, something delicious you can make when sharing a meal with friends and family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">And during this holiday season, we know you’ll again join us in sharing our abundance with those less fortunate. W<b>on’t you consider stopping by and dropping off some non-perishable food items that we will, in turn, donate to</b> <b>People to People</b>, which works year-round to feed Rockland’s hungry? Suggested items that we’ll continue to collect into December include cereal or oatmeal; canned juice and 100-percent juice boxes; canned vegetables; fruit snacks (applesauce, peaches, fruit cocktail in juice); soup, dry and canned; beans, dry and canned; pasta and pasta sauce; macaroni and cheese; peanut butter and jelly; and tuna fish in water.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">We thank you for considering this simple-but-important donation – and know that People to People will be grateful, as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">We can always count on the Maria Luisa community to come through, as it does year after year…</span></div>

From <b>Diwali</b> to <b>Thanksgiving</b>, <b>Hanukkah</b> to <b>Christmas</b>, <b>Kwanzaa</b> to <b>New Year’s Eve</b>, there is plenty to celebrate this month and next.<br />
<br />
A big part of celebrating is gathering together with family and friends, sharing stories and making memories – and yes, very often memorable food and drink are shared to mark the special occasions.<br />
While not all of us are gourmet cooks here, we do love to join in the holiday spirit by making special dishes, entertaining – or just going to a lot of parties!<br />
<br />
This month in our blog, we’ll be sharing some of the <b>Maria Luisa</b> team members’ favorite recipes – no, Maria’s not yet ready to share her famed Coquito recipe (yet) – but we hope these recipes will inspire you to try them out or head back to the kitchen to whip up your own favorites that you may have neglected in recent years.<br />
<br />
And if you’d like to share one of your favorites with the Maria Luisa “community,” let us know – we’d love to help you do just that, in a future blog or via our social media platforms.<br />
First up, our Lindsay offers two of her favorite seasonal recipes, Autumnally Addictive Pumpkin Bread and Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta & Raisins.<br />
<br />
We’re already drooling – and bet you will be, too.<br />
Thanks for reading – and hope you’re inspired to add these delicious dishes to your seasonal menus. (And tell us, or Lindsay, if you do next time you’re in; <b>don’t forget our Nov. 8 special sustainable shopping night with MacKenzie83, benefitting the Center for Safety and Change.)</b><br />

<b>Directions</b><br />
•Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan whatever way you please (I use Pam olive oil baking spray).<br />
•Whisk together the sugar and oil until blended, then add the eggs and pumpkin. Lay out two paper towels, stacked on top of one another. Lay the grated apples over the paper towels. Roll up the paper towels into a log and squeeze gently to remove excess juices from the apples. Add the grated apples to the pumpkin mixture and mix to combine.<br />
•In another bowl, stir together the flours, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Let batter rest for 15 to 20 minutes.<br />
•When ready to bake, pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until the loaf is very dark and a tester inserted deep into the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool in pan for ten minutes, then turn onto rack to cool completely.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What I Love About This Recipe</b><br />
Nothing says autumn like pumpkin and apple! I always make a few loaves from my seasonal apple-picking bounty. The apples keep the loaves deliciously moist. Serve at room temperature with your morning coffee or warm a slice with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for an after-dinner treat (!).<br />

<b>Directions</b><br />
•Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer pancetta to paper towels to drain. Let cool.<br />
*While pancetta cools, add Brussels sprouts to drippings in skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until well browned in spots and beginning to soften, 5–7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add raisins, shallot and butter; cook, stirring often, until shallot is soft, about 3 minutes. Add stock to skillet; increase heat and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until broth has evaporated, 1–2 minutes. Stir in vinegar and pancetta. Season to taste with salt and pepper.<br />

<b>What I Love About This Recipe</b><br />
You'll find this as a side dish on my Thanksgiving table every year! I also love to turn this into a homemade pizza topping or toss with fresh pasta/hearty grains as a “sauce.” To mix it up, you can add other seasonal vegetables in with the Brussels sprouts - butternut squash complements the flavors perfectly.<br />

<br />During the evening, when we showcase these handcrafted selections, we’ll also be having a <b>“sip and chat,”</b> an informal conversation about <b>Fair Trade </b>and ethical shopping, focusing on why we decided to carry <b>MacKenzie83</b> goods. We hope to be able to not only answer your questions but also hear what you have to say about the way you shop and discuss how we all can get more involved, from questions to ask when we consider buying something to seeking out brands that reflect our personal values… important stuff!<br />
<br />The evening will also encompass another element, serving to raise funds for the <b>Center for Safety and Change</b>, whose work we have long supported, with <b>20 percent</b> of all product sales<b> to be donated to the organization.</b><br />
<br /><b>And a bonus?</b> You’ll also <b>save 10%</b> that evening on <b>MacKenzie83 purchases above $200.</b><br />
<b> </b><br />We think it’s going to be a stylish, thoughtful – and memorable – night at Maria Luisa, from <b>5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 8.</b><br />

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Sure, we may be a tad early – but when it comes to being ready for the holidays, too much prep can never be enough.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">This year, we in the <b>Maria Luisa</b> family are committed to approaching the holidays with a renewed sense of enthusiasm, a true focus on finding the real meaning of the holiday season – and truly being grateful for what we have and sharing it with others.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Whether that means setting a place at your holiday table for a friend going through a rough time – or taking a very active role in a community effort, such as a food or coat drive, the holidays offer the chance to show our “best selves.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Take some time now to create a holiday timeline – list the things you need to do, to buy, to donate, to share, to join.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Above all, remember to include those you love in the preparations – it’s inspiring to help someone, and even more inspiring to do it with a family member or friend.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Here at Maria Luisa, we’ll be offering you the chance to join in, once again participating in a food drive for </span><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">those served by People to People (<a href="http://www.peopletopeopleinc.org/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(4, 51, 255); color: #0433ff;">http://www.peopletopeopleinc.org</span></a>)</span> and collecting new or gently used coats and warm clothing for those served by </span><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Nyack Homeless Project (<a href="https://www.nyackhp.org/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(4, 51, 255); color: #0433ff;">https://www.nyackhp.org</span></a>)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">As Maria Luisa Whittingham says, these opportunities to share your abundance do more than just provide the literal gifts of soup, pasta or peanut butter or a warm coat, socks or boots.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The holidays offer an ideal time, too, to participate in volunteer work. Opportunities abound in our communities, so it’s easy to get involved. Lend a hand to an organization whose mission reflects your own interests – or stretch yourself with something new. There are countless organizations whose work is supplemented by volunteer efforts, organizations we know you join us in supporting.</span></div>

Nyack hosts its inaugural <b>Autumn Sidewalk Sale,</b> a rain-or-shine event running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Both <b><a href="https://www.marialuisaboutique.com/">Maria Luisa Boutique</a> </b>and <b>ML by Maria Luisa </b>will be taking part in this <b>village-wide</b>, brick-and-mortar celebration of shopping local.

• <b>Also on Saturday, Oct. 13</b><br />
We’re also taking it inside this Saturday afternoon – with another special event. In our ongoing support of local artists and artisans, we are welcoming Nyack-born artist <b>Jane Cowles</b>. She’ll be having a <b>Trunk Show</b> featuring her <b>one-of-a-kind fine-jewelry</b> designs from <b>2 to 4 p.m</b>. Her creations have been inspired by the gardens of Paris and handcrafted here in New York. (And she’ll also be more than happy to discuss custom work) The “<b>Sweet Shopping Saturday</b>” event, held in Maria Luisa Boutique, will also include <b>sweets by Michael Craft</b> and wine by <b>Grape D’Vine.</b> Do stop in!<br />

• <b>Sunday, Oct. 14</b><br />
If you’ve been enjoying the autumn weather – and stepping up your exercise regime – then this event may be right up your alley. The <b>ML Faves for Good </b>initiative’s latest event will once again bring our supporters together as we join in the Montefiore Nyack Hospital 28th annual <b>Blow Away Breast Cancer 5K Run-Walk</b>. The event, which takes participants on a scenic route through Nyack’s streets, will be held from <b>9 to 11 a.m.</b> We hope you’ll consider joining us on the course (participating or cheering the team on) but also help us spread the word. And if you can’t take part on the day, we’d appreciate it if you would consider a donation to this worthy cause.

<span style="font-kerning: none;">As Maria Luisa Whittingham says, <b>“Just because something is made in a particular region doesn’t mean it’s made ethically.”</b></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We do research on what we bring into the shops, as we continue our search to supplement our longtime brands and designs that you know and love with new finds from around the world that add something more to the mix.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">That’s why we will continue to share the stories behind our goods with you, whether they are items made following Fair Trade practices, designs that benefit women across the globe or even products that directly support our local artists and artisans.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

Have you found yourself flipping through the fashion magazines and thinking much of what you’re supposed to be buying, wearing and loving just isn’t for you?<br />
We understand.<br />
<br />
As Maria Luisa Whittingham has said, “I try to stay away from trends and fads, and focus on the forward-looking things that still have staying power.”<br />
That’s why when you select something this autumn at Maria Luisa, you’ll not only likely enjoy wearing it this season – but well into the coming seasons.<br />

The staying power of the fashions and accessories offered by Maria Luisa was brought into crystal-clear focus during the <b>Maria Luisa</b> 30th anniversary celebrations, when longtime (and more recent) customers modeled their favorite Maria Luisa purchases as part of “30 Looks of 30 Years.” It was hard to tell if something was purchased six months ago or six years ago – and that’s the beauty of both the aesthetic and quality of what’s found at Maria Luisa. <br />

So this autumn, we invite you to stop in – or visit us on <a href="https://www.marialuisaboutique.com/">MariaLuisaBoutique.com </a>or <a href="https://www.shoptiques.com/boutiques/maria-luisa?utm_campaign=Boutique+Ref+maria-luisa&utm_source=boutiqueref&utm_medium=referral&utm_term=7175">Shoptiques.com</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> </a>– and see our latest offerings. <br />
<br />
We have the tried-and-true brands and silhouettes plus a few things to mix it up, whether you’re looking for pants or tops, skirts, dresses, jackets, bags, scarves, jewelry – and our ever-popular footwear.<br />
<br />
And we hope you’ve seen our social-media post about one of our newest finds, accessories from <b>MacKenzie83</b>. The New York-based, made-in-America company pretty much sums up our approach to how we select what we carry – with ethical shopping always in mind.<br />
MacKenzie83 designs eco-friendly, responsibly sourced accessories featuring organic and free-range leathers, organic cottons and recycled metals. We’re loving the look, of course, but the story behind the stunning designs is what brings it to the forefront.<br />

<br />
And we’re hoping it will kick-start a conversation about ethical shopping, something we plan to further explore in both our next blog – and with a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1117424885088788/"><b>Nov. 8 special event showcasing MacKenzie83 –</b></a> and benefitting the <b>Center for Safety and Change (</b>more details to come).<br />
Hope to see you soon!<br />

There’s something about the crisp air of autumn – just around the corner – that gets us in the mood to exercise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Perhaps the summer was one long party – when you (we?) enjoyed a few too many barbecues or get-togethers, loading up on everything from s’mores to sugary cocktails…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Well, somehow, exercising outdoors when it’s not 100 degrees and terribly humid seems to have great appeal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
According to <a href="https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/features/10-tips-fall-fitness#1">WebMD</a>, fall is actually the optimum time to kick-start a fitness program.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Locally, as <b>Beth Chamberlin</b> and <b>Peter Roy</b>, co- owner of <b><a href="http://nyackbootcamp.com/boot-camp-workouts-for-your-busy-life/">Nyack Boot Camp</a>,</b> say, "there are 3 great reasons why September is the perfect time to start exercising again.<br />
<ol>
<li>With school back in session you have more time for yourself</li>
<li>The cooler temperatures are perfect for working out</li>
<li>You have about 3 months to get your body ready for all those Thanksgiving to New Year's calories."</li>

We’ve also got a great way for you to commit to your new plan – join the <b>Maria Luisa </b>effort as our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MLfavesForGOOD/"><b>ML Faves for Good</b></a> initiative takes part in another event in coming weeks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
If you haven’t heard, we’ll be following up our inspiring participation in the Women’s Distance Festival this past July at Rockland Lake, a benefit for the Center for Safety and Change, by joining together for the <b>Montefiore Nyack Hospital 28<sup>th</sup> Annual Blow Away Breast Cancer 5K Run-Walk</b>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
It will be held through Nyack’s streets, a scenic route to be followed from <b>9 to 11 a.m. Oct. 14</b>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Please consider joining us in the event – and helping us spread the word. Even if you can’t take part on that day, we’d be grateful if you consider a donation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
It’s going to be a great way to not only support a most important cause – but also give us added incentive to get out and exercise with a great group of people.</div>

<br />
And while there will be a lot we’ll miss – from leisurely days at the local pool to holiday barbecues with friends and family – there’s plenty to look forward to in the coming season.<br />
Near the top of that list is… fall footwear.<br />
<br />
Here at <b>Maria Luisa Boutique</b> and <b>ML by Maria Luisa</b>, footwear has always been one of our most popular categories.<br />
<br />
We like nothing more than finding great styles – and our loyal customers seem to really love our selection.<br />

<br />
We have our tried-and-true brands that offer updates season after season, but we’re also always on the lookout for new offerings that combine style, comfort and sustainability.<br />
<br />
Whether you’re on the hunt for a new pair of everyday/work shoes, something for the weekend or our ever-popular boots and booties, we think you’re really going to like what we have in store for you this season.<br />
<br />
There are flats and wedges, slip-ons and laced styles in suedes, leathers and so much more.<br />
New styles are already arriving, with more on the way seemingly every day.<br />
Come on in and have some fun trying on a pair (or three).<br />
You know you want to!!<br />
(And remember, the early birds get the best availability in both styles and sizes).<br />
See you soon.<br />

Yes, we know… Labor Day is not the official end of summer.
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But for most everyone, it sure seems to mark the end of the
“playful” season.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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.<br />

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.<br />

As mentioned, <b><span style="color: #666666;">Labor Day</span></b> might seem like the end of the fun
but it’s actually leading right into some great happenings that include the
<b>SeptemberFest Street Fair (Sept. 9)</b>, which will this year feature a teaming up
of the <b><span style="color: #444444;">Nyack Chamber of Commerce</span></b> with <span style="color: #666666;"><b>Montefiore Nyack Hospital</b></span> to include a

for <b>Oct. 7</b>; the blockbuster Nyack <b>Halloween Parade Oct. 27</b> – and an autumn
<b>Sidewalk Sale</b> (details coming).<br />

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