Mandy's Top 5 Picks from Market July 2012

Oh MY you guys!  This was one of my favorite markets in a while! The designers out did themselves this time!  We loved the new patterns (can anyone say Chevron?!?!!!) and the new products!  We are so excited for all of it to come in that we are basically stalking the UPS man every day!:)

Here are my Top 5 favorite things (it was really hard to pick just 5!):

1. Sterling Silver Finger Print Pendants and Cufflinks

Sterling Silver Cufflinks & Pendants will be available

I love this gift idea - so unique and personalized!  It will be a gift that will be cherished for years to come.  I guarantee that I will be making one of Kennedy's fingerprints!:)  We will have an event in early November to make the molds, but don't worry if you are out of town - we can ship you a kit so you can do it yourself.  More details to follow and if you would like to be contacted when the event is scheduled please comment below.

2.  Shwings

Shwings - to make your feet look Fly!

So Shwings are just FUN!  As soon as I saw them I smiled and knew we had to have them at Swagger!  Lots of colors are available - good for boys or girls.  I just gave a pair to my 5 year old niece and you would have thought I gave her $1 million dollars:) She loved them!

3.  Monogrammed Cuffs, Desk Calenders, Ipad Accessories & More!

From L - R: Cuff, Flask, Desk Calendar, Pencil Holder, Otterbox for Iphone, Ipad Cover

First off - the patterns are AH MAZ ING! Each item (there are over 20) is available in multiple patterns, color combinations, and fonts. Since I am addicted to Chevron, I have to let you guys know that they have a TON of chevron options from pastel to neon!  I love the jewelry cuff pictured above and at only $20 it is a great gift for just about anyone!  The flask would make a great bridesmaid gift.  I also love the desk calendar and pencil holder for teach gifts!  We have had a lot of people asking about an Otterbox for their Iphone and here it is!  There are so many more items that I haven't pictured including: Trays, E-reader Covers, Icebuckets, Children's Melamine Plates, Dry Erase Boards and more!  We will be able to start taking orders in the next few weeks!

4.  Cat Studio Glasses, Pillows and Towels

Frosted Glasses

Dish Towel

Hand Embroidered Pillow

I am so excited to have Cat Studio Glasses, Pillows and Dish Towels available at Swagger!  Each item comes in different States, Cities, Countries and Popular Regions & Resorts.  The idea is to collect the ones that have meaning to you!

For instance I want to start with a set of 6 glasses - New York State (where my husband and I were both born), Georgia (where my husband and I grew up and met), Florida Keys (where my husband proposed), Virginia (where my husband and I first lived after getting married), North Carolina (where we live now), and Hawaii (where we took our 1st anniversary trip and bought a time share).  Every time I use one of the glasses it will have several memories attached to it.

What a great wedding gift - you could choose the states where the couple were born, where they met, where they live - etc!  I also love this for realtor gifts!

5.  Initial Reaction Monogrammed Jewelry

Filigree Monograms in Pendants & Rings

As you guys know, I love a monogram and I LOVE the filigree design here.  These rings and pendants are available in sterling silver, rose gold, and gold vermeil.  I already have the ring coming in in my size and initials - woohoo!!!!:)

BONUS ITEM - Scout Bags!

So I couldn't choose just five:)  I have to mention Scout because they really out did themselves this time!  The patterns are so freaking awesome!  I can't wait to get the Chevron Weekender:)

I will let you guys know as everything comes in!!!

Best bra ever!  You know all of those outfits that you LOVE but you don't want to own 40 different bra styles just to wear your favorite backless dress? Well, Swagger has your solution.  NuBra gives you freedom in a bra.  Made from Silicone it is re-usable and washable. When your dresses and outfits will not co-operate you can use the backless/strapless bra that feels natural. .  There are no straps to worry about and no sticky tape to mess with.  It is self adhesive and you can create as little or as much cleavage as you would like, just with the positioning of the bra cups.  NuBra was featured on Oprah's choice in her "Bra Intervention" special.  Come on in to Swagger to have your NuBra experience today!

Behind the Scenes @ Swagger - Our newest addition

And this time I'm not talking about the clothing expansion!  Of course that is going very well - here is a picture I just took today - totally looks like we are going to open next week - right?!  I love it though -so happy with all our design choices!

My Dad - our trusty carpenter!

The new addition I am talking about is mine and my husband's soon-to-arrive baby!  We are so excited for the arrival of our first child - due date January 4th!

Swagger's store manager, Kellie, told me the idea about a gender reveal party - which of course I thought was a brilliant idea - so we had one last weekend!  The week before we were super productive (not!) and were doing "arts and crafts" with our vinyl machine for the party! 

Kellie can craft like it's nobody's business!

The party was held at my mom and dad's house and was so much fun! The results of the ultrasound - boy or girl - was hidden inside the cake!  I gave an envelope from my doctor to our baker (Jennifer Dail - her cakes are beautiful and tasty!) and she was instructed to make the cake either pink or blue depending on the sex of the baby. 

I am addicted to owls right now so that was the theme of the party!  "Hoot Hoot - the results are in!"

We had everyone vote on what sex they thought the baby was going to be:

This is one of our crafting projects - turned out pretty cute if I say so myself!:)  Team Blue was winning but 1 vote when we cut the cake!

So what were the reults?  Well when we cut into the cake it was...

PINK!!!

We had asked everyone to wear either pink or blue to the party to support "their team".  What did every one the Swaggerettes wear?  Pink - of course!

I love this pic!  We had to go with the "sorority pose" as my mom calls it so we could see the Baby Becker sign!

Susan voted for a girl too but she didn't make the group shot:(

We are super excited and can't wait for Little Girl Becker to be working at Swagger really soon!:)
