The true days of summer are finally here,
the season having now officially arrived.
And we're ready with fashions, fun - and more
Welcome to our latest seasonal newsletter.
Winter was never-en
ding,
spring barely happe
ned - but summer is now well and truly here.
And we couldn't be happier here at Maria Luisa.
NEW FASHIONS
If you're in need of some seasonal fashions - perhaps a new outfit for a vacation or special celebration - footwear, gifts (don't forget your host or hostess) - we've got what you need - and love.
SUMMERTIME PROMOTIONS
So, we mentioned summertime fun...
How about a Maria Luisa Summer Raffle?
Yes, we thought you'd like that. We're going to be running a raffle throughout July and August - with entry tickets given out free based on purchase totals. The prizes, to be drawn on Labor Day weekend, will include anything from a $50 gift card to a Maria Luisa T-shirt, a certificate for 30% off any item to the signature Maria Luisa drinking glass - plus more.
Full details will be posted at each register, so check it out during July and August.
And we're already planning a fun celebration for those "dog days of summer."
We're going to be hosting a huge Summertime Sidewalk Sale Aug. 18 and 19, an outdoor party of sorts to not only include special deals but also live music (and if you know us, a little dancing).
Full details will follow on our social media, including our blog (more on that below).
We're hoping to see you there!
EARTH DAY CONTINUES...
What? You say Earth Day was back in April... yes, it was - but as you know "every day is Earth Day" for us, so we just again offer a gentle reminder to join us in caring for our planet. Be mindful, recycle - and remember to bring your own bags wherever you go.
SIGNS, SIGNS
As mentioned in a recent blog posting, we continue to draw your attention to selections throughout the shops that are created following Fair Trade practices and principles, as well as "Maker Made" artisan goods. These details add another dimension to what you see - and offer a more rounded story to each purchase.

BLOGGING AWAY
Speaking of our blog, we hope you've noticed our renewed commitment to weekly postings. As part of our dedication to keeping in touch through our social-media outlets, it's another way to offer you news, updates and more between these seasonal newsletters.
Some of our most recent posts have featured the annual presentation of our ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship, the street-fair season (the next one's July 8), advance notice of our sales and details of events ranging from Pride weekend to Art Walk and a spotlight on the latest fashions ideal for summer getaways.
See, it's worth your while to read - and please do subscribe!
It's a great way to stay "in the know" about all things Maria Luisa.
And if there's anything you'd like to read about on the blog, please let us know.

IT ALWAYS FITS
Summer birthdays? Helping set a new college student up in his or her first dorm room or new apartment? Other upcoming events that you need a gift for? We hope you'll stop by and shop - or visit us online - where you can select a Maria Luisa gift card, which you know we love to remind, "
always fits.
