Best Valentine's Day Present Ever? A Trip to Renee's!

Dear Friends,

Just in time for your Valentine's night out, we received this sexy little number in three colors: white, black and cobalt blue. So pretty!

These perfect-for-Valentine's-night-out tops can stand alone with a fun little skirt. For a more subtle look, pair with a sweater or jacket.

What's that you say? You don't have a skirt? Then get thee to Renee's. Stat. Yesterday we received seven (7!) new prints on snap skirts. Snap skirts conveniently adjust to your size. No guessing which one will fit. How ingenious!

Here are a few more prints in our latest snap skirt arrivals...

A Valentine's Treat and New Spring Arrivals

Dear Friends,

Happy Valentine's Day! Treat yourself. Now through Feb. 14 present the above image on your smart phone or print and bring in to get a $100 gift card for $75. Or give your sweetheart a hint; forward the image. Either way, we LoVe you!

Marlene and I have been unpacking and steaming like there's no tomorrow. This week we received Vitamin shirts (new!), Nomadic Traders, Necessitees, FDJ French Dressing, and more.

A new line for us, Vitamin, has darkened our doorway. You just have to see it! These shirts, made in St. Cloud, Minnesota, are known for their effortless fit. This classic white shirt is designed in an easy-fitting, tunic style to elongate your figure. Cut from lightweight cotton, this shirt is your go-to weekend staple. Pair yours with slim jeans and a cozy scarf.

Details, details. White cotton tunic button down shirt. Long sleeves, wide collar, inverted back pleat, long side slits, single breast pocket, tortoise buttons. Front pocket. 100% cotton. Hand washable, drip dry.

Simply chic, Vitamin's aqua jacket is the perfect summer topper. Crafted from silkened cotton pique, this lightly textured design pairs well over a dress or top for extra coverage. We recommend teaming yours with a t-shirt and jeans for a casual weekend look.

Details, details. Turquoise jacket. Wide long sleeves, four button front center closure, stand-up collar boxy fit. 100% cotton. Unlined. Made in USA. Runs true to size, cut for a loose, slightly oversized fit.

Necessitees long sleeve crew neck tops are available in red, white, and teal.

Great quality basics arrived this week from Necessitees Apparel. Your bases are covered with crew necks, scoop necks and boat necks from this brand.

3/4 sleeve scoop neck tops are available in black, white, and charcoal gray.

You want a cute, contemporary clothing line that fits real women. These are not "one size fits MOST." These are perfect stand-alone AND layering tops made of cotton/spandex baby rib (read softer) fabrics that don't cling.

3/4 sleeve boat neck tops are available in navy and chartreuse. 

Necessitees entire clothing line is designed, cut and sewn all under one roof in Los Angeles, California. Count on Necessitees for classic layering pieces to wear all year round. These essential pieces make your wardrobe serve you; don't miss out on these tops.

Nomadic Traders has come a long way from when the founders began selling hand-picked Alpaca sweaters from Peru and Bolivia from the back of their van in 1973. Nomadic's experienced design team creates casual weekend wear and sophisticated resort apparel.

Nomadic Traders, Apropos, and FDJ French Dressing

With a stepped up commitment to American manufacturing, now over half of Nomadic Traders is produced in the USA. Nomadic Traders, Apropos and NTCO, three logos under one umbrella, are celebrating 34 years of traveling and trading.

Here are a few more photos of Renee's latest arrivals.

Your Dream Pants Have Arrived.

Dear Friends,
I am excited to introduce you to Lisette L Flaterie Fit brand pants. Yes, you've seen them here before, but now I am committed to offering you Lisette L pants as part of Renee's "Staples You Can Count On" program.

Ankle length black Lisette L pants

We all want to look slimmer and sexier in the perfect pair of pants. Meet Lisette L pants, the solution to the perfect fit issue. Designed to compliment any shape, these pants pull on; there are no zippers or buttons to bother with.

This clover print is now in at Renee's for spring

Available at Renee's in two lengths (ankle and full length), and from size zero to 14, the pants fit comfortably with just enough stretch to give you a smooth, beautiful silhouette. The Lisette L Flaterie Fit technology will streamline your waist and compliment your shape.

Lisette L in a beautiful taupe/gray color

Three key factors contribute to how pants fit: style, fabric and fit. Lisette L flattens and flatters, slims the abs, contours the hips and shapes the behind. The fabric is delightfully wrinkle-free and washable, too.

The secret to the perfect fit is the special rayon, nylon and spandex stretch fabric and uniquely constructed waistband. This fabric combination and construction makes these pants as comfy as a pair of leggings. Most women are thrilled to learn that they fit into a size smaller than normal.

Lisette L pants are available in a variety of styles and colors, but one thing remains the same. You will always get a perfect fit! When you wear Lisette L, you really can have it all.

Stop in soon to try on a pair of Lisette L pants. You'll be glad you did!


Sending February love,

Renee
