Store Closed – Nov. 2-9, 2009

Just a quick reminder…Puttin’ On The Glitz will be closed from Mon. Nov. 2 through Mon. Nov.9 as we take a well-deserved vacation!  We will have e-mail access for most of the time, if you need to contact us.  Send e-mails to info@puttinontheglitzstore.com.  If you have merchandise to pick up at the store, please do so before this Saturday.  Otherwise, we’ll see you when we get back!

New November Miche Shells – Cheryl, Mary, Linda & Belle

We just got pictures of the new Miche shells for November.  There are 2 Classic shells and 2 Big Bag shells.  The new Big Bag shells are Cheryl and Mary.  Cheryl is a reddish brown (maybe cordovan?) shell with a lot of stitched detailing.   Mary is a dark blue/teal bag with gathered details.  Both of them are beautiful!  The new Classic shells are Linda and Belle.  Linda is a black patent shell with the sides.  It’s a highly textured shell, and looks like it might have an outside pocket (but I can’t confirm that until we actually get them).  Belle is similar to the Brittany shell that came out in August, however the shell has sides and is an eggplant purple instead of gray.

Contact us if you would like to pre-order any of the new shells.  They should be in stock by the second week of November.

Thanks to everyone that has ordered retired (and current) Miche shells from Puttin’ On The Glitz.    I just wanted to take a few minutes and update the blog with which retired shells are still available.  Being a retail store, we have access to a lot of retired shells that home party distributors can no longer get.

New October Miche Shells: Taylor, Christa & Joy

The new Miche shells for October have been announced, and should be here at the end of next week.  There are 3 shells coming.   It’s always hard to tell from the pictures,  but Christa looks like a dark brown faux leather shell, with some black details.  It has a lot of stitched accents, and looks like a great everyday shell.  Joy is this year’s limited edition holiday shell!  It’s a glossy red faux leather shell with a silver Chrismas Tree in the corner.  Taylor is a faux leather shell as well.  From the picture it seems to be a coral/salmon color, maybe similar to the corduroy Lydia shell.

Retired Bonnie Miche Shell is Available!!

Wow!  Miche must have found a few shells in their warehouse, and we were able to get an extremely limited number of Bonnie shells!  This Miche shell has been retired for over a year, and is one that we get the most requests for.  Stop paying huge prices for shells on eBay.  Ours will be available at the same low price as the rest of our shells.  And in case  you missed the other post, we also were able to get a limited quantity of Pink Kimberly, Izzy, Lizzy and Laura retired shells, as well.

Just a quick update…the Bonnie shells are completely sold out.  We never know what will show up in the future though.  Keep an eye on the blog, or visit our website at www.PuttinOnTheGlitzStore.com to sign up for our monthly e-mail newsletter.  We’ll keep you posted on all of the new (and retired shells) that come into stock.

Pink Kimberly, Laura, Izzy and Lizzy Retired Miche Shells In-Stock!!

We can honestly say, we didn’t see this one coming.  Miche must have found a few cases of their long-retired shells in the warehouse, and we were able to get a few.  We have 12 each of Pink Kimberly, Laura, Lizzy, and Izzy!  These were some of the most-popular shells, and ones that we get requests for on a regular basis.

And don’t pay outrageous prices on eBay!  As always, all of our shells (retired or not) are the same low price.  In fact, they are so low, Miche forced us to take the prices offline!  Just leave us a comment, or e-mail info@puttinontheglitzstore.com, and we’ll send you our full Miche price list.  Because we are a retail store, and not a home party rep, we keep every shell and accessory currently available in stock at all times!  You can also take advantage of our bundle pricing to save even more.

Hours for Sept.-Nov.

Please check our store hours on our website (www.puttinontheglitzstore.com) for the months of September, October, and November.  Joanne will be out-of-town the last week of September and first week of October.  With Kelly still needed at the Toledo Free Press and Casey back in school, that leaves us a bit short staffed.  We will have reduced hours for those two weeks, but to make up for the inconvenience we have added some great sales that week on tiaras, veils, and OKA b. sandals!

We will also be closed the first week of November, as the whole family is off to Florida for a cruise!

New Switchflops Ballet Flats

Starting in mid-September, Switchflops will be offering a new ballet flat.  They are leather, and come in black, bronze or silver.  To start out, there will be 12 interchangeable buttons for the tops.  The suggested retail price is $64.95.  We would sell them for about $57.95.  We’d love to hear what you think about them.  Click below to vote!

New Miche Accessories

There are several new Miche accessories now available!  First are the strap connectors.  These rings allow you to connect a single handle or strap (any style) to your purse, instead of one for each side.  They have been incredibly popular since they came in-stock.  Also new is the single adjustable strap.  This wide strap is perfect for wearing across your body, but is adjustable and can be shortened to a shoulder strap.  It’s a faux leather strap that comes in both black and brown.  And coming with our shipment of September shells, are the new Miche purse holders!   They allow you to hang your purse off the edge of a table, instead of putting it on the ground.  It collapses for easy storage in your purse.
