AUTUMN AT MARIA LUISA
New arrivals
New activities
and
 OUR 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!
 
 Welcome to our latest seasonal new sletter.
 
Yes, autumn is here.
Summer flew by, as did Labor Day, back-to-school
- and just about everything else of late.
But...
Fleetwood Tunic 
We are all about embracing this new season.
We have two shops filled with a stunning array of n
ew fashions and
Shirley Boots 
accessories, gift ideas and ways to spruce up your surroundings.
We have some new brands, many tried-and-true favorites - and yes, BOOTS - one of our favorite things and yours!
 
AND OF COURSE....
This is the season when we officially mark - and CELEBRATE - our 30th anniversary in business.
Yes, the original Maria Luisa Boutique opened its doors in Nyack back in 1987 - and your loyalty and support have helped us reach this milestone, so it's only fitting you join in the celebrating, as well.

Stay tuned for full details on the event b ut hopefully you've noticed - and are participating in our anniversary events already under way:

Looking good
We hope you've  been enjoying our "30 Looks for 3
0 Years" fashion show featuring some of our most loyal customers modeling their favorite finds from Maria L uisa.
It's our way to celebrate the individual styles of the women who have made our offerings their own - and celebrate their unique styles.

Boo!
 
Don't forget we also have BIG plans for this year's edition of Nyack's famed Halloween Parade, which is also marking its 30th anniversary.
Join us during the day on Oct. 28 when we offer our annual Halloween Doorbuster sale (details to come) - but also plan to join us that evening as we join in the mar
ch, set for 5 to 8 p.m.
As part of the fun, we'd love to have you join our #MLfaves group, as we're planning a creative way to send a message about the ongoing importance of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle."
We are gathering all kinds of recyclable and non-recyclables to create some one-of-a-kind costumes. Think plastic, cardboard, foam, coffee-cup lids, plastic bottles and all kinds of packaging materials.
Here's how you, as an MLfave, can help:
* Join the MLfaves parade group. 
FB Event Page Link

* Create - or let us help you to create - your themed costume.
Keep in mind, we welcome children, who are encouraged to participate.
We are really excited about this event - and hope you are, too. Stay tuned for more details, but get in touch now if you'd like to know more.
