It's the most wonderful time...of the year!

I love this time of year as the excitement builds towards the holidays. Trees twinkle, houses sparkle, there’s a glow on everyone’s cheeks…and though it does get busy and hectic, I find myself humming Bing Crosby and Dean Martin tunes and gently shaking the gifts under the tree when no one is looking.

There’s a lot going on here at SOL to help get you in the spirit, too!

I sometimes call Christmas and Channukah “toaster holidays.”  Because you usually open your gifts in front of the whole family from mother-in-law to children, it’d better be as safe as a toaster. But seriously? Who wants a toaster? 

Natori Medallion Long Robe. Sumptuous and comes in a bunch of great colors.

That’s why you’ll find an amazing selection of fabulous robes, sleepwear, slippers, even stocking stuffers here that make perfectly appropriate and wonderful gifts to open in front of everyone.  

My advice? Ask for a separate yellow box to open on Christmas Eve...in the bedroom!

Aubade Pin Up. It doesn't make toast, but he won't mind

By the way, we make it so easy on the guys who come in shopping for you. Tell him that we have your size, and probably your wish list. Tell him that we’ll wrap it for free. Tell him that we’re open Noon to 5 on Sundays in December and purchases Sundays get a free grab bag that will have an extra surprise he can put in your stocking. 

And tell him that if he comes on Friday, December 16 between 1pm and 3pm? He can meet and listen to Irv & Joe from Mile High Sports Radio who will be here talking to shoppers and giving out sexy Aubade calendars. I have a feeling Todd will be calling in “sick” that afternoon!

You can cross off a lot of your gift list here, too. 

Give the Natori Jersey collection and you'll get the most sincere thank you cards ever written.

Gorgeous and cozy robes for your mother-in-law, flowing caftans and pajamas for your sister and best friends, slippers for a neighbor, cute flannel Munki Munki jammies for your baby sitter and Paris Tights for the kids' teachers. It's all here!

Munki Munki nightshirt. Your babysitter will love it because it's perfect for texting.

Sweet sleepwear from Eberjey, a great gift for your favorite sister.

Sassy Paris Tights will help any educator get through the day.

And - we’ve got a great selection of gifts under $100. The best part?  Purchases $350 and more get a $50 gift card, so you can make everyone happy and put a little something in your own stocking, too!

Jacques Levine Slippers. Decadently comfortable and warm.

Have a friend who needs “a lift?” Take her to lunch and bring her in for a bra fitting as her gift. With our Share the Love program, new SOL customers get $20 on their account and the referring customer (YOU) get $20 on your account! Everybody’s happy!

Do you follow us on Facebook? Well, you should! We have fun contests, show new product there before anyone else sees it and even have Facebook Only Sales. Tell your friends to “like” us, too, because on December 16^th we’ll be drawing a name from our Facebook friends to win a $250 Natori gift card.  Natori and Josie by Natori sleepwear and loungewear are our favorites and the perfect holiday gift for your mom, your friends, yourself!

Merry merry merry!

Cindy

P.S. Remember that we reward our hard-working SOL Girls and ourselves with some family time after the holidays, so we are closed from December 25 until January 2.

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

Leaves aren't changing yet...but heads are sure turning!

Even though we keep a very close eye on fashion trends and see what designers are doing months in advance of products being delivered, it still sometimes takes our breath away when we actually see these beautiful colors and styles up close!

We are getting in all of the new Fall collections in colors like amethyst and emerald - here's some of our favorites...

This is the Tonya by Marie Jo. Swoon, right? We've got it in two rich, gorgeous colors. It's fashionable, sensuous, and just the thing to warm your mood when temperatures start cooling down. (Aren't the flowers tres' perfect?) 

And this lovely little number is the Stockholm by Prima Donna. Playful yet classic, elegant yet seductive. And the embroidery on this one is pure luxe, no?

And for the ultimate in cute-meets-comfy? Try the Anouk by Eberjey. Super flattering and come in Shitake (shown here)  and French Vanilla. Love this!


We're so excited for Fall! Keep an eye on the website, we'll add new styles as they get here. Rich purples, teals, beautiful new styles...we can hardly wait.
