Comfy, Economical AND Cute Footwear? Introducing Bernie Mev Woven Shoes


 Dear Friends,

Allow me to introduce you to some (really!) comfortable footwear. Here is Bernie Mev, the perfect blend of style and lifestyle, and the master of woven footwear. Got foot problems? You can find this cute combo of a tennis shoe, flip flops and slipper at Renee's today!





Bernie Mev's casual shoes artfully combine upscale styling with the latest European comfort technology. The result? Shoes that feel as good as they look.



For under $60, these street-smart, high-style shoes are just what today's fashion-minded, active woman is looking for. I love the "Tod's" bottom on the black flats.



How 'bout some sparkle for the holidays? Imagine: comfy and cute and economical footwear. Possible? Yes. Right here and now. At Renee's. Stop by to try them on!



When you are here, check out our Eileen Fisher collection! Yup, we started carrying that, too! Right here in li'l old Everett. So many exciting things happening at Renee's. You really must come in again soon.

Sending love,

Four Simple Steps to Pull Off Leggings


Leggings are everywhere! Granted, the stretchy fabric is comfortable. But leggings are not pants; they can reveal parts of us we'd rather not show the public. Follow these four simple steps to make sure you can seamlessly carry off the legging trend.

Start with good quality leggings. Don't buy your leggings at Target or the dollar store. Spring for a quality pair made of thick, non-shiny fabric like ponte knit, which doesn't show bulges, travels well, doesn’t fade and is super comfortable. They will happily last you for years.


Leggings are meant to be worn as part of a layered outfit. Think of leggings as tights; put them under skirts, dresses or tunics. Longer tops (at least to mid thigh) camouflage any fluffiness.

Wear footwear that looks good with leggings such as flats, boots, a low heel, or even a high heel.

Leggings are best for those with great legs. For the rest of us, stick with a solid, dark color on the bottom; black and charcoal gray are fail-safe. Add personality on top with prints and patterns, jewelry, scarves and other accessories.

Meet Lysse, the legging with revolutionary tummy control. Lysse leggings are your solution to get rid of any muffin top! Best of all, they are now available at Renee's.

Constructed with a double layer of control fabric inside the waist, Lysse leggings slim, smooth and shape with hidden panels that eliminate "the roll." Pronounced Li-Say, Lysse is a twist on the French word for "smooth."

Renee's newest Lysse additions are the flocked brocade velvet legging and the solid velvet legging. Either of these paired with Lysse's velvet tank top (also in stock now) create a wonderful holiday canvas you can use to show off your sparkly sweaters and jackets during the last two months of the year.

Now you can wear leggings, too! Just follow these simple steps: 1. get good quality, 2. layer with long tops, 3. wear the right shoes, and 4. stick with solid, dark colors.




Try on a pair of Lysse leggings next time you visit Renee's. Flatten your tummy instantly and try something new. You might be pleased with the results.

Travel-Inspired Sportswear for Every Day Living

Dear friends,

Whew! I am beyond excited about the launch of our new active wear division on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the 2820 Colby Avenue store in downtown Everett.




After searching high and low since last April for lifestyle wear that is just right for you, we landed on four popular designer brands: Lucy, Lysse, Necessitees, and Beyond Yoga. And we can't wait to introduce you!




I know you have a busy lifestyle. These clothes will take you from the gym to running your errands. From walking the dog to dropping off the kids, these are clothes you will live in.




This new category is one more way we can help you dress, and one less thing you need to run to the mall for. Active wear for women on the go, these clothes are comfortable, colorfast, and durable, yet stylish enough to wear on an airplane or even to work.



Whether worn on the mat, in the office or out to dinner, these carefully curated pieces will take you exactly where you need to go. I call it travel-inspired sportswear for every day living.



We are THRILLLED to share our new collection with you! Please come by for our launch party and unveiling on Sat., Oct. 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We look forward to outfitting you in quality and comfort!

With love,

Renee
