Comfort (and affordability) Rules!

February 17th, 2011

Greetings! Just a little note to let you know what’s goin’ at good ol’ N. Rue and Company…the sale! Of course. And great new arrivals from Kensie and a new designer for NR, Green Dragon.
 
Let me tell you about the Kensie first…if you have purchased their pieces from us before, you know they have a wide range of looks, styles – the line is huge! My favorite piece right now is a sweatshirt-like dress that is grey and has a draw-string collar…a lot can be done with this dress now, and also through spring. It is a-dorable! And it is $68.00. It’s yes… you got it! Comfortable and affordable. We have an assortment of other Kensie dresses, too that we know you’ll just love! Check everything out on FB.
 
Now for Green Dragon…I love this line so much! I believe they are typically associated with workout wear…stylish workout wear, that is. But these pieces are not to be worked out in. We’ll save that for Lulu Lemon or Champion from Targe’, mmmmkay?! The GD pieces we have are comfy-looking and classic. My fave is the purple and green  tye-dye dress…again, a piece you can wear now and all through spring (and summer, too, if you go to Northern Michigan!) Check ‘em out on FB, please!
 
That’s all I have for now…good things are still on the way so hopefully next week I will have A LOT more new, spring arrivals to tempt you with! Thanks so much for shopping at N. Rue.
 
Sincerely,

Ready for V-Day?

February 9th, 2011

Greetings! Just a reminder about the FebRUEary clearance that is going on now…65% off Fall/winter non-vintage clothing, 50% off F/W vintage clothing and 50% off all F/W jewelry and accessories, vintage and non-vintage. If you need something to wear for Valentine’s Day or heck, just because you feel like something new (which is a good enough reason for me, mmmmkay?!) you must head in here now. The sale ends February 28 (or whenever we run out of F/W merchandise).

We have been slowly receiving new spring goodies and Lauren will be putting them up on FB as fast as she can. My new favorite pieces are 2 felt clutches that have a big heart and a Union Jack on them – it’s all you need for Valentine’s Day! Check ‘em out on FB.

A big thanks to the peeps at Indianapolis Monthly for showing three of our favorite pieces: a vintage pair of gloves, a linen pillow and a Yoana Baraschi dress. Check out the February issue today!

Thanks for shopping at N. Rue and Company!

Sincerely,

Natalie M. Best

I Think My Brain is Frozen

January 28th, 2011

Greetings! Yes, I think my brain is frozen. I am so s-l-o-w these days – all I wanna do, Sheryl Crow, is read, read, read! I normally send out Natalie’s Notes on Wednesday, but I suppose I was too busy reading my latest Penny Vincenzi book and time ran away from me. So! Here’s what’s new at the R-U-E:
 
For all of you Before and Again t-shirt lovers – a fresh crop of styles to choose from! My pal Annette Davis strode into Pilates the other day looking a-dorable in her bright Before & Again T! I thought GOSH that’s a cute T! Hey it’s from my own store! I love seeing people wear things they got from N. Rue. It’s a bonus when they look fabulous in the clothing, too, as A.D. did! Thank you, Annette!
 
If you are in need of a jewelry pick-me-up but don’t want to spend a lot of dough, keep reading. There is a cute little line called All the Rage, and they have the most fun, inexpensive bracelets. You can wear one or ten at a time – they’re just easy. I got one at the show in NYC that I have not taken off. My fave are the ones that are thread, kinda like the friendship bracelets that you may have made back-in-the-day, but they have three small rhinestone balls. Dana from Moyer Jewelers asked me if they were diamonds! So, yeah, after wearing them for 2 weeks and showering in them daily, okay, almost daily, they are still sparkly. And….they are $9 each. Yes. Now if you want some truly beautiful, REAL jewels….you have got to head over to Moyer in Carmel. Oh. My. God. Becky…look at her…..seriously! That place is a girl’s dream and if you go, you must ask for Dana!
 
Okay, what else, now that I’m done name dropping…oh, yes, we got in some new FC spring pieces and 2 awesome Big Buddha bags. All of our new goodies can be seen on FB! Check ‘em out.
 
Oh, and our sale is still going on, too!
 
We hope to see you soon! (I think my brain may be warming up now).
 
Sincerely,
