Elite Leather

We’re thrilled to announce our newest client Elite Leather, a stylish line of custom made furniture that everyone here at Ruby Press is coveting!  It’s a family run business {they just surpassed the 50 year milestone!} and each piece on their line is beautifully made with incredible attention to detail.  {And their custom furniture is typically ready in 2 to 4 weeks- how’s that for instant gratification?}  And don’t let the name fool you- sure, they offer over 200 leather options, but they also offer hundreds of fabric options as well {even great organic options!}.

Some of our favorite designers have created lines for Elite Leather- Nathan Turner, Lulu de Kwiatkowski, and now Angela Adams.  Don’t you just love??

Win three dresses from Swoon!

Attention engaged readers!!  This Monday, March 1st, Swoon is launching a contest that will have you salivating… The winner will win three gorgeous Swoon bridesmaid dresses of her choice.  That’s a sure-fire recipe for three happy bridesmaids if I’ve ever heard one! {That’s almost $1,000 worth of chic silk bridesmaids dresses, free!}

The contest runs from March 1st through April 30th.  Here’s all you need to do:  Brides-to-be submit a written statement {to: enterme@swoondress.com} explaining why you adore your bridesmaids, what they mean to you, and why you picked them to be by your side on the big day.  Swoon designer/owner Amy Wong Micucci will choose the winner and will announce the winner in early May.

Please keep in mind that the dresses are made to order and will take 3 to 4 months for production.  Good luck!!  xx

Marie Veronique Organics’ New Look

I know many of you have been waiting for this day…the relaunch of organic skincare brand Marie Veronique Organics!  We {here at Ruby Press} are just in love with the fresh new packaging and website.  {But don’t worry Marie Veronique Organics fans- the products inside the beautiful amber apothecary bottles are indeed the same ones you fell in love with.}

My personal can’t-live-without products include the Anti-Aging Oil Plus, the Moisturizing Face Screen Plus, SPF 30 with Light Tint {It’s not just my fave- the Environmental Working Group named it one of the best 6 moisturizers with sunscreen*- in terms of efficacy and safety- for 2009!}, and the Skin Lightening Serum/ Skin Lightening Vitamin C Supplement duet.

*When you check out the EWG’s list, you’ll see the Moisturizing Face Screen Plus, 30 SPF with Light Tint by it’s former name, Creme de Soleil Tinted.  Click here to find your favorite products’ new names.

The Twitter party, that is!  I have been urging my friends and clients to join us on Twitter- it’s really like a fun cocktail party where you can chat with friends and make new ones!  Drop by whenever you like, see pretty things, have a laugh, and wake up the next morning without a nasty hangover!  Today I reached an even 1,000 followers on Twitter and I am truly honored and tickled that you {my Twitter friends} have joined me!
