On the road again...

There are many catch phrases about Las Vegas..."What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."  "Vegas Baby!"  "Viva Las Vegas..." 

But for SOL, Vegas is all about buying sleepwear for fall and winter! We love zipping into this crazy city and inundating ourselves with the beautiful offerings from Natori and Eberjey.  

Danielle, our amazing sales representative for Natori, always guides us in the right direction and graciously helps us think through 6 months of purchases.

The colors and patterns this fall are...in a word...SPLENDIFEROUS! (Is that a word?)

Beautiful inside and out, she makes working fun!

Check out the detail on this one. Can't wait to get it in!

After seeing it all and touching and feeling everything, we spend several hours locked up in the towers of the Venetian working out the entire sleepwear plan for fall and winter.  A daunting task, but more strategic than any card game!

With our work all done, we broke for a delightful bite at Bouchon with Mariela, the co-owner of Eberjey. Thomas Keller sure knows restaurants and we have thoroughly enjoyed this one of his. 

We'll be back to the comfort of Denver soon...with visions of glittery Elvises and beautiful sleepwear to remember our trip by.

Love, Cindy & Jeanie

My ideal date...just in time for Valentine's Day

My thoughts this time of year turn to big red hearts and romance and vases spilling over with red roses. I can't help it, there is just something about a box of chocolates and a sweet card that gets me to dreaming.

The girls in the store and I were talking about the perfect date...and, amazingly, we all had really different ideas about what would be the ideal romantic experience. (No wonder men look so confused - we certainly don't make it easy on them!)

My ideal date? Well, I'm a woman who likes lists and organization - so here it is, step by step.

Step One - Send me a cute note telling me that you're whisking me away. Give me some hints so I'll know what to pack! I need just the right romantic lingerie, bra and matching panty, and oh yeah, clothes.
Step Two - Surprise me with a fabulous dinner and a lovely place to stay. (With a hot tub, please!)
Step Three - Turn off your cellphone and take mine away from me, too.
Step Four - Look into my eyes and provide charming and witty conversation that's just about us. Not work. Not other people. Make me feel like we're the only two people in the world. 


That's not so difficult is it? Just four easy steps to win my heart. You know what? That's exactly the four steps Mr. Johnson took all those years ago when he asked me to be his bride. It must've worked!

Like I said, though, everyone's idea of a perfect date is different - and I want to know yours! Check in with us next week on Facebook, we'll be sharing more of the SOL girls' favorite romantic ideas and Valentines Days of the past. We'd love you to be a part of it.

Now, if you excuse me, I need to write a cute note to my husband, telling him I'm whisking him away.


Love, Cindy
