PRE-THANKSIVING UPDATE
FROM MARIA LUISA 

 As we all look ahead to Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to tell you all about whats going on here at Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa.
It's a lot!!
***
First up, we wanted to "formally introduce" our newest feature, #mlfaves.
To make the most wonderful time of the year even more wonderful, ML Faves is joining the Maria Luisa family (and we hope you know that includes you!).
Each week we will feature a few of our "favorite things" on Facebook, Instagram and MariaLuisaBoutique.com.
From unique clothing and accessories to creative additions for your home, the spotlight's being turned on some really great finds.
 Take a look, then we invite you to shop " mlfaves" and receive 1 5% off your next online purchase at Maria Luisa Boutique.com.
We can't wait to see some of OUR faves become YOUR faves.
***
On a holiday note, please keep in mind we will be closed Thanksgiving day so our team can share the holiday with their friends and families - we wish you and yours the best, as well.
But...
Don't forget the holiday-shopping season starts in earnest on Friday. Nov. 25 .
We will be open regular hours throughout the weekend.
And starting on Friday in both shops, we'll offer different, unadvertised specials through Sunday, including Small Business Saturday (when American Express will double points for its cardmembers who "Shop Small" that day).
Those who shop online can take advantage of our holiday-weekend discount coupon throughout the weekend. Those making purchases through MariaLuisaBoutique.com will save $20 off purchases of $100 or more.
And that online offer will extend through Monday, Nov. 28, in our observance of "Cyber Monday."
***
Open Mondays
Speaking of Mondays, we will start our holiday schedule on Monday, Nov. 28.
Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa will be open daily - yes, seven days a week - from Nov. 28 through Dec. 24.
***
As you can see, there's quite a bit going on - with even more planned for coming weeks - so be sure to keep a check on our social-media pages and posts for the very latest.
We'll also be back in early December with our newsletter's special holiday edition, but for now...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Annual Holiday 'Wish List" Party
December 9
5 to 9 p.m.

We hope you'll make a plan to join us, as we have quite a festive lineup on tap for this evening designed to make the holidays extra special for you, our loyal customers. We know, hints sometimes work but we want to make holiday shopping as easy as possible for your family and friends, so here's a recap of how our Wish List works:
 * You come in and do a bit of virtual shopping, selecting what you might like to receive for the holidays.
 * We create a list of your "favorites," then when anyone who might be shopping for you comes in, we gently direct them to your selections. As we like to say, it makes it easier all the way around, as the person shopping for you is less stressed and you get exactly what you'd like... 
The final step? Remembering to act surprised when you open your gifts!! 
***
A few things to keep in mind: 
* If you're tempted to do a bit of shopping yourself that night - so smart to get a jump on your own holiday shopping - any purchase of $50 or more will receive a 15% discount.
 * We will extend that 15% off all items on your Wish List to anyone who comes in and shops for you before Dec. 18. 
***
 
Soap & Paper Co. Free gift with purchase
And a few added attractions for our special-event night:
 * The evening will also put one of our favorite local companies - Rockland's own Soap & Paper Factory - in the spotlight. You love their candles, body products and paper goods - and during the festivities, we will offer a gift-with-purchase on any Soap & Paper Factory purchase more than $40. 
Baggallini GWP and Raffle
* And... we'll be hosting a Baggallini trunk show. What's that all about? Well, Baggallini will be providing us with "the ultimate" assortment of bags for you to choose from. 
And our door-prize winner will even take one home!
*** 
And while one might think that was more than enough incentive to join us, there's even a little more - make a tax-deductible $50 contribution to the ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund (we'll be presenting our third annual award next spring) - and we'll up your evening's savings to 25% off your purchases AND include you in our holiday raffle. 
***
So... those are the basics, the nuts and bolts, facts and figures. And for the sheer FUN of our Dec. 9 night: We want you to join in and enjoy the holiday spirit (and spirits). We'll be serving up cocktails created with the Bang Candy flavored simple spirits (a great gift idea...) and a selection of appetizers. So stop by, have a sip, a bite, buy a raffle ticket and simply enjoy yourself. We look forward to seeing you - and extending our very best holiday wishes in person as we all gather to welcome the season - and get a jump start on our holiday shopping in a most stylish and festive manner. Who knows? You may even be tempted onto the dance floor (which most days is better known as our regular floor...) 
The Wish List Night will feature extended hours, with ML by Maria Luisa staying open until 7 p.m. and the party continuing until 9 p.m. next door at Maria Luisa Boutique. 
See you there!!

AND PLEASE KEEP IN MIND

Our collection of Maria Luisa branded merchandise - you know our flower logo - continues to grow, from T-shirts to bags to necklaces, drinking glasses and more.
Any (all!) of it makes an ideal gift for the Maria Luisa fan on your holiday-shopping list.
And it's great to know that this great gift idea (or splurge for yourself) does more than just look good.
All profits of the sales generated by our Maria Luisa branded merchandise this holiday season will go to the ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund.
As Maria says, "You're giving - and you're giving."

As always, continue to follow us on social media - and better yet, stop by and say hello.
We're here to chat, offer fashion advice and help you however we can.
See you soon.
The ML Team
