THE BEAUTY OF 24-7 SHOPPING

How many times have you wanted to run out to shop this winter but decided against it because of the snow, rain, ice or wind?

Maybe you got the urge to splurge at midnight – long after shop doors have closed.

SHOP 24/7 @ SHOPTIQUES and MARIA LUISA

Or perhaps you forgot – or didn’t have time – to run to your favorite shop to buy a gift for someone special. 

As we all know, online shopping takes away such “barriers” – and offers some really convenient solutions.

That is why – despite our joy in seeing you in our brick-and-mortar shops – we encourage you to shop with us online.

VALENTINE’S FOR YOUR VALENTINE

Valentine’s Day, as we all know, is Feb. 14… and that’s coming up pretty quickly.

It’s a day devoted to love – all kinds of love.

Sure, the most traditional celebration is of romantic love – but in a wonderful way, the observance has expanded over the years. Valentine’s Day is now a time to recognize all those you love – romantic partners but also parents and children, siblings and friends.

A wander through both Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa offers up quite a selection of gift ideas ideal for anyone you may be shopping for.

KIORI Oil
Available in Nyack, NY Shop

When it comes to pampering – what a nice way to show you care – we have soaps (think everything from lilac to lemongrass sage to stout beer), lotions, scents, bath goods, candles and more. And just for the guys, there’s a full range of Duke Cannon products, which you may know, are “premium grooming goods for hard-working gentlemen.”

BEER SOAP

If you’re setting a romantic scene for your Valentine with a nice meal, we have cookbooks, tabletop goods and some lovely candlesticks to help set the mood.

BOOKS

There’s always jewelry, a near-universal favorite that takes on added meaning when given for Valentine’s Day. Whether it’s sterling silver twisted into a one-of-a-kind ring, a graceful tassel necklace or truly unique selections created out of agave fibers, the options are plenty.

MANTRA BANDS

All ages will be dazzled by the bright Fair Trade totes. There’s a blush-hued jacket from KUT.  And we have charming terrariums. Scarves featuring reclaimed Sari fabrics and settle-into-them pillows are colorful choices. And shoes, did we mention shoes, for those who really want to make an impression? 

We even go literal – with heart-shaped stones boasting sayings such as “Love is Love,” while other stones and signs that offer encouragement (“What are you waiting for?”). 

Journals of many styles are at the ready for those who like to chronicle their life – perhaps this Valentine’s will be especially memorable – or simply want to keep their endless lists in beautiful bindings.

And, of course, we’ve got the fashions and accessories not only for others but to also dress you in style, wherever your Valentine’s celebration may take you.

THE PERFECT RED DRESS

We hope to see you all soon. Don’t forget, we’re always here to offer advice and suggestions – or if you can’t make it in, remember you can shop online any time.

Lastly, remember that a Maria Luisa gift card always “fits.” HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

SCENTS OF THE SEASON

Spring has its flowers. Summer has its salty sea air.

There are scents that just seem to be associated with certain seasons.

And if you stop by Maria Luisa Boutique these days, you’ll be transported directly into the holiday season with a few product lines that are just captivating.

First up is Frasier Fir from Thymes, which takes you either to the heady heart of the forest or in front of the Christmas tree. It’s a scent that seems forever associated with the holidays, and you can savor it through candles, triple-milled soap, reed diffusers and hand cream.

And then there’s Patch NYC Stag, a collection featuring a scent drawn from Siberian fir, cilantro, citrus and a touch of raspberry. A collaboration with local favorites The Soap & Paper Factory, the line includes 100% soy candles, artisan handcrafted soap and eau du cologne.

More? Well, we also have scented products from Illume. We’re loving its Balsam & Cedar candle, which is poured into a “Radiant” metal holder. The company’s proprietary sox wax blend offers “higher fragrance throw” and a clean burn, all housed in a precious-metal finish with just a touch of shine. Then, there’s its Winter White, an aromatic evergreen and frosted cypress scent the company tells us is “dusted with white peppercorn, spicy-cool cardamom and a sparkling citrus nuance, perfectly wrapped in glowing amber.”

It all adds up to some seasonally lush scents.

As Maria herself says, when you’re near the display area for these ideal home or gift products, just, “Close your eyes, and you think you’re in a cabin.”

Animal Instinct…

Odette

Have you noticed the menagerie filling our shops?
Well, we won’t blame you if you didn’t.
There are no actual live animals… simply animal motifs dotting a number of items on hand.
These range from carved elephant-themed wall hangings to a baby bird landing on a soap wrapper. There’s an intense-looking cat decorating a wallet and a frog-prince holding court in our lower level home department at ML by Maria Luisa.
Take a slow walk around and you’ll see plenty more, including giraffes, zebras… we’ll let you be surprised.
Lots of gift ideas for those animal lovers on your shopping lists.

A WARM GLOW

When was the last time you visited the lower level of ML by Maria Luisa?

If it’s been a little bit, then you’re in for a wonderful surprise.

We’ve now fully completed a bit of a style revamp in our lovely large space – creating a series of seating vignettes designed to inspire your home-décor dreams.

We have an array of chairs and couches, pillows, vases, throws, lighting and more, all fashioned in a way that really shows you how just a few new accents can really mix things up.

And don’t worry, if you’re inspired to have a seat and enjoy a bit of a breather when you’re shopping.

We’ll take that as a compliment.

After all, we wanted our re-worked space to be as inviting as your own home.

Tie one on

Bright Floral Print

You know that no matter the season, we love a good scarf, shawl or wrap here at Maria Luisa.

And we’ve got a bounty filling our shelves these days.

We’ve got plenty of options for these crazy-weather days, cold one moment and warm the next. Our response? Winter styles on sale and spring goods arriving daily.

And always, style lives right alongside practicality, so there are single-hued beauties and vibrant prints ideal for you or for any gift-giving needs

You can never have too many, or at least we think that’s true – and don’t forget, a scarf, wrap or shawl makes the perfect “one size fits all” gift any time of the year.

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS…

Sometimes you just want to step back and take stock.

Or perhaps you’re inspired to chronicle your daily life, set your goals or even write a story or poem.

Seems like a breezy afternoon can inspire any of these activities – and when the creative urge hits, we’ve got you covered.

We have a wide selection of journals that will add that elegant touch to your writing.

Check out our selection which features a variety of patterns and styles.

Treat yourself, so the next time you want to jot something down, you’re not

grabbing for the nearest grocery-list pad.

And don’t forget, journals make a sophisticated and thoughtful gift.
