We realize that everyone is busy with last minute turkey buying, baking, decorating, airport runs, etc...

However, we do know that you are all gearing up for the long-anticipated annual Black Friday. Soooooooo.....with that in mind, us gals are here for you. We know you'll be exhausted after pre-dawn Target/Walmart/K-Mart/big mall endeavors, so come by our stores and we'll have some treats for you!!! If you are one of the first ten customers, you have the chance to receive anywhere from 10%-50% off your entire purchase! Huge. Afterall, you'll deserve a present after a day laborous cooking and early morning crowds...and in-laws.

it's [almost] a wrap.

2009-11-19T14:00:00.002-06:00

Market season is winding down and we're changing gears soon.......stay tuned. The Marnie Rocks re-vamp is on. So get excited.

Us gals need to stay well-nourished to keep our creative juices flowing...

...because when it's time to do things like photograph our 2009 Holiday Collection (coming soon to the web), somehow birch tree limbs seem to find their way out of the closet...

Who says you can't blog twice in one day???

2009-08-26T12:55:00.003-05:00

Marnie stumbled upon this b racelet today while flipping through the August issue of InStyle

It only happens once a year:

2009-08-26T09:56:00.004-05:00

MARNIE ROCKS SAMPLE SALE.

Every woman for herself.

Get your game face on.

If you are a serious yapper, glam up your chatting with one of these:

Coming soon to Marnie Rocks stores.................

We'll let you know as soon as they arrive!

Mix it up

2009-07-16T11:11:00.000-05:00

Mixing metals-- yay or nay???

Guess it's a personal preference. However, us gals fully support mixing it all up. Not only does it take you away from that 'matchey-matchey' look, but it also gives you WAY more options when accessorizing. If you can't decide whether to go silver or gold, put it all on!!!

David Yurman does it..........

Marnie does it...........

So what are you waiting for?

So if you aren't quite ready to click your ruby slippers back to Kansas.... stay in 'Emerald City' with a little of this or that--
