What keeps me going…

This week has definitely been one of my more challenging.  I’m so excited for spring and the store is full of loveliness but sometimes the lack of vitamin D gets the best of me. 

So…opening this email this morning reminded me about why I do what I do and why I love helping and meeting all you lovely ladies!  Thanks Lori!

Hi Lorna,
I am just back from Cuba and want to let you know how much I loved having my new outfit!  I wore it several times with different accessories and scarves – it felt wonderful and looked great. So thanks for helping me find it - and also the tunic was easy and fun to wear.
I have told many people about my very positive experience with you and your shop. Have a groovy day!

Happy Bodacious New Year! New Chalet in at Bodacious!

Well hello!  I honestly can’t believe that January is almost over.  For the first time in my retail life, I decided to embrace this time of year (instead of wanting to crawl under a rock for 2 months:) and what a surprising difference that made!  This January I used the quieter days to move things around in the store (primping and prettying the space is what I enjoy the most, next to finding great Bodacious fashions for you!), spend more time with each customer/friend who came in the door, and plan for the new, exciting year ahead.
It’s going to be a GREAT one!
I wish you all a phenomenal 2012!  The energy feels light and positive right now so let’s all embrace that and enjoy this next phase.

It’s Raining…It’s Pouring…Other Umbrellas are Boring…

Each Cheeky umbrella brightens a rainy day with its:

Stylish Design

An umbrella is an expression of your personality and sense of style, just like a purse, a pair of shoes or any other accessory.  Yet how often have you seen a stylishly dressed person carrying a very un-stylish umbrella?  Part of the reason is that there have not been many stylish umbrella options in the market…until now!  Choose from our wide variety of stylish umbrella designs, and look and feel just as good on rainy days as you do on sunny ones!

 

Sassy Attitude

Our umbrellas not only look great on the outside, but are full of personality on the inside too.  They are bold, fun and never boring!  Each umbrella has a bright, colourful fabric lining on the underside.  And many of our umbrellas even have a “cheeky” statement written on them, designed to keep a smile on your face while you’re tucked underneath it on a rainy day.

 

Saturday October 01, 2011

This always feels like a good time to clean out our closets
(virtually and literally), and start fresh projects.  The air is crisp, the winds
blow the leaves around, the temperatures cool and we want to spend more time inside.
I can’t tell you how many women I’ve spoken to who have just done a
major closet dump and how great they feel about it! (Check out the sidebar
for some help in this department!) That’s next on my todo list.
It also leaves room in your closet for fresh new fall fashion like this…
chalet tunic - fall 2011  echo rain dress - grey or plum fall 2011chalet plum - fall 2011chalet black jacket - fall 2011
We also have a great selection of jeans (including black velvet) in a variety of sizes and styles.
SWAK - Monika jeans
Remember that “back to school” feeling?
I remember wearing my new “big blue” wide leg dark brown corduroys
from Bootlegger on the first day back to school with my new striped turtle
neck sweater – I felt great for the first 1/2 hour until I realized that we
were still in the middle of a summer heat wave.
There’s no way I could’ve resisted wearing my new outfit tho’.
So to get to the point…Bodacious is moving into it’s very own store!
As much fun as it was to be in Molly’s Lane for the summer,
I’m very excited to tell you that I will be moving up to
449 Marine Drive in Lower Gibsons for November 1st!
I will be surrounded by amazing boutiques and restaurants
and will have my own pretty space to welcome you to.  I can’t wait!
Stay tuned for store opening events!!!
I’m always happy to take orders over the phone if you can’t make
it in and will ship within a day of receiving your order.

Facebook
is the most current place to see new items and what’s on sale.
We’re well stocked in oh-so-beautiful Chalet and EchoRain and more
Chalet will be arriving next week!
