To Market To Market!

January Market started today and I have already found some awesome stuff! The one major request that you guys asked for was more monogrammed baby stuff! I am happy to say that I found these adorable monogrammed baby pillows! They will be in the store and on the web very soon!


I am so tired right now so I am going to bed after a long day of shopping! My mom is joining me tomorrow which I am very excited about - it is hard to make all the decisions by myself! So hopefully we will have lots of stuff to tell you about then!
Ta Ta for now, Mandy

Drumroll Please...

Woooohoooo - Mandy is letting me pick this week's Facebook Friday giveaway winner!

Start the Year Off Right: Organized and Green!

Happy 2009 everyone!

Two of my personal resolutions for this new year are to be more organized (in all aspects of my life - home, work, etc.) and to keep going green and reducing my carbon footprint one day at a time.

Fortunately, I won't have to sacrifice style along the way!

Check out these fantastic 1.0GB Glam USB drives that Swagger just added to their store in the past few weeks and online yesterday:

There are two more prints available online (Tribal and Dozen Roses), but I wanted to at least show off my two favorites (Lace and Pink Bird)!

At only $27.00, you can cart around (in style) all of your electronic needs (1.0GB holds a LOT!) for the coming year without printing a single document and wasting all of that time, paper, and ink.

Tacky Christmas Sweater Customer Participation

We love our customers!!! Especially when they play with us!

I couldn't believe the number of people who came in to show us their tacky Christmas outfits! Some of them didn't even use the 20% off - they just wanted to show their Christmas Spirit! When it came to picking a winner it was a VERY difficult decision so we decided on........ a TIE between Jim and Shayna! Both of you were so tacky we couldn't decide! Thanks to everyone who participated!

This will definitely be a new Swagger Christmas Tradition!

Check out the fantastic pics in our slideshow (those of you using a rss feed reader like Google Reader may need to click through):

Manic Monday: Save 15% of Christmas Tree Ornaments

It is clearly a Monday: I started off the morning by almost over-sleeping for my dentist appointment in Apex (whoops!), had a longer than usual wait because someone was out sick (I can wait for the excellent service I get at my favorite dentist!), and it's now 2pm and my mouth still is a little sore.

The girls at Swagger promised to offer a retail pick-me-up to lift my spirits: 15% off Christmas tree ornaments!That'll do :-D

Just stop in the store before 6pm today and mention this Manic Monday blog special to take advantage of this special. Easy as pie, right?

Happy decorating!

(And in such preppy baby prints, too - might I add.)

Be sure to grab a few in each print... they'll become the newest addiction for whoever is lucky enough on your list to receive these!

It'd Be a Shame...

...to lose these umbrellas!

I don't know if it's just me (please let me know if anyone else share this same fate), but I always lose my umbrellas!!! And not in any sane sort of way, I'm talking I'll snag 2 or 3 at a time in one shopping trip and they will all be gone in a matter of months. Of course, I never realize that until it's raining and I desperately need one. (My perfectly flat-ironed hair does not do humidity or rain!)

These new print umbrellas that have just arrived at Swagger, ready to monogram and all, will be strapped to my wrist at all times, though - just like my coveted Coach wristlet!
Seriously though, how cute are these? And you KNOW I love the monogram... especially pink on leopard print!
Don't wait for rain, dash over to Swagger today and order a few (great stocking stuffers - hint, hint, Mom!) and save 15% off today only - until 6pm at the store - just by mentioning this blog post!

Even I can do a little rain for a chance to sport these great new accessories!
