GREAT THINGS ON THE HORIZON

The near future brings lots of exciting things to the table! First and foremost the greatest holiday in the south....MARDI GRAS.....is RIGHT around the corner!!! And I don't know about you, but I am beyond excited!!! Good times, good music, drinks, friends, family, and so much more all compacted into a 2 week period of straight celebration! It doesn't get any better than that, and it makes me so happy to be a Louisiana girl!!! And if you're a Louisiana girl like myself, then you find yourself each year trying to look as cute and festive for the season...whether it's for the parades, the balls, the parties and so forth. With that in thought you would probably go crazy in Shoefits and Jo & Grace right about now....the selection of apparel, footwear, and jewelry are quite the catch!!!

Right smack in the middle of Mardi Gras week, the Shoefits and Jo & Grace girls will be in Las Vegas and Atlanta buying away for the upcoming seasons! That's right some of us will be missing Mardi Gras targeting for an even greater catch than beads....Clothing, Shoes, & Jewelry! We are very excited for this market. We will be buying for Fall 2012!!!

What do you hope to see in Fall 2012?

It's begging to look a lot like Christmas

With Christmas right around the corner the Shoefits crew spent the weekend celebrating together to kick off the holiday cheer. Pajama partying it up with Christmas games and holiday drinks...the first week of December in our store is truly filled with the Christmas spirit! Lights, trees, bulbs, and bows mixed with the latest trends surround our store. Just because the "Black Friday" mess has calmed down, does not mean our incoming shipment has. Loads and loads a day are hitting our back door....from footwear to accessories to gift ideas and more! Speaking of gift ideas, remember that we do have gift cards available to you!!!

So I must enlighten you....so when you walk in you aren't shocked!!! You may notice LOTS of neutral colors...such as natural, cognac, gray, taupe, and beige....not to panic...neutral is basically the new black...of course we will always have a heavy variety of colors...this season the neutral trend is really starting to sky rocket! Let me give you a peek at some of our best sellers that are neutrals (I think you'll love them):

Gosh, I have so many things to update you on since we've last spoken!!! First and foremost, I want everyone to know that we hired the most amazing assistant manager....Beth Wilson!!! Many of you may know Beth from Victoria's Secret...and wow...we are SO lucky to have her part of our team. I currently do not have a photograph of Beth to show you here, but just swing by the store anyday and meet her if you haven't already. Second thing you should know about is that....our beautiful sister store JO & GRACE is now open in Houma!!! And man WHAT a hit has it been to our town!!! To all of our out of town girls, you must stop by if you're ever passing through Houma...between Jo & Grace and Shoefits together we can really fix you up with everything...and I mean EVERYTHING you need!!!

In closing for today's post I would like to tell you a funny little story, along with posting some fun market pics from the last few markets we attended!!!

STORY:

The other day Dawn (the store manager in Houma) was telling me funny stories about her daughter Lily. Lily is a very bright, smart 7 year old with a very histerical personality. Needless to say...one of Dawn's stories was about Lily writing a song for Shoefits...and because of the genius lyrics, I thought nothing less than to share it with you!!! So here it goes:

Shoefits, Shoefits,

If the shoe fits and ya like it...

THEN BUY IT!!! (repeat)

So there it is ladies...keep that song in your head the next time you're shopping in our store!!! Hahaha, kidding....but not really!

MARKET PICS:

Hope you enjoyed our update!!! Can't wait until next time....Have a great weekend!!! And of course, we hope to see you soon!!!!
