Christmas in January Reminder

HO HO HO.. Wait... What? We know most of you are probably wondering why we are posting a picture of this jolly Santa bearing gifts in January, but we promise it makes sense! During the month of December we ran a 12 Days of Christmas Promotion. Each day we gave away prizes that correlated with how many days were left until Christmas. For example: on the 12th Day of Christmas Giveaway, we gave away 12 Free Make-Up Kits. The contest was extremely successful and we were able to reward tons of our fabulous fans with early Christmas presents. Here comes the part that explains why we are reminiscing on Christmas in late January... Many girls either weren't aware they won a prize or weren't in town to be able to pick them up so as a result, it still looks like Christmas morning here at Entourage. We have tried to send out reminders to everyone, but just to make sure everyone gets a chance to claim their goodies, we are posting this list of winners and announcing that today is the LAST day you can pick up your gift. If you didn't realize you had won or would like to arrange another day this week for pick-up (or shipping).. contact Malia at entouragemalia@gmail.com.

Bring Entourage to YOU!

We have finally announced that... (drum roll please) Entourage is having another baby and will be opening a third store before you know it! Our only problem is that we have so many beautiful, amazing and simply fabulous places we want to go that we need a little help deciding. We have tried our magic 8 ball, we have tried pulling places out of hat, and we have tried asking our girls (but who are we kidding, we can't even decide on where to order lunch from!) So now, we are asking our best and most valuable decision makers----YOU! We posted statuses this week and got overwhelming responses from both our Athens and Clemson fans.. Here is what they thought:

Athens girls wanted to see:
1.) Statesboro

2.) Valdosta

3.) Augusta

4.) Atlanta

5.) And last but not least, a surprising number of Peachtree City votes

Clemson girls wanted to see:

1.) Anderson

2.) Greenville

3.) Columbia

4.) Charleston

5.) Aiken

Let us know where you want us to go and we will look over the feedback and start shopping! Don't forget, it doesn't have to be in Georgia or South Carolina... We are always down for a road trip :)

Open Weave Sweaters..

Our noses have been deep in fashion magazines this winter and ALL we have seen is sweaters. No, we aren't talking about spandexy sweaters that make you suck and tuck that turkey gut or "I had just too much egg nog" belly.. We are talking about granny sweaters and CUTE ones at that. Big button down cardigans that look like you stole them from your great grandpa and big baggy "This is the most stylish burlap sack I have ever worn" sweaters. We are loving them! FINALLY fashion understands that being comfortable does matter regardless of what the snooty fashion snobs may say. We don't know about you, but we are hoping that spring and summer have equally comfy looks in store.

We go on & on about we love and I know some of you must be thinking.. But what do you know? Well don't take our word, look around at celebrities and big designers. They are all doing it. It's hard to find a celebrity who hasn't been sporting the open weave sweaters with jeans and boots this winter! We loved the look so much that we searched high & low until we found the same look (but cuter) and were able to bring it to you for a fraction of the cost! At only $26 this sweater flew off the shelves within hours last time we put it out.. We have 2 more in the stores. Who is going to get it?

If you are interested in ordering this sweater, call 706.546.7090 to place a phone or pick-up order.

Bright, bright, bright!

If we want celebrity gossip, who is a girl we always know we can turn to? ... Maria Menounos, of course! Not only is this beauty always in the know about who wore what look the best or the latest celebrity break-up, but she is stylish on camera and off! Our favorite new trend she has followed? BRIGHT BLAZERS! We have a deep mango blazer just like hers for $28 in stores!

Want something else and this bright blazer isn't quite doing the trick? Shop our website with tons of web exclusive items!

Steal the Look

Tonight we had one of our store meetings and man oh man, are we pooped! But we have exciting news... We have so many awesome things in store for you in the coming months at Entourage! We are working to bring you better customer service, fresher selection, more engaging contests and even more interaction. 2012 is about YOU and we are working our booties off to try and make that possible. On this note, the creative juices are not flowing tonight as fast as they should so we are going to get on some PJs and take a break. (Yes, we have been lazy the past few days on our postings but we promise they will get better after some coffee and a long weekend!)

Until we get our caffeine boost and much needed rest, here is a look we are OBSESSED with to feast your eyes on. Cameron Diaz is rocking the casual blazer and we just can't get enough. Lucky for you, we have blazers in our store that are just as cute for BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE. We think you should come shop, don't you? Perfect!

Brrr..

The weather outside is FRIGHTFUL, hmm, hmm, hmm.. Sorry guys, that is the only part of "Santa Baby" that we can relate to today! Winter weather has decided to pop in for a visit, to say the very least, and we aren't sure how we feel about it around Entourage! (Yes, we know that to people in the North we sound like huge wimps but going from 70 to 20 is quite the shock for us Georgia girls!) The only positive we can find: We FINALLY have an excuse to wear our adorable infinity scarves, cozy hats, peacoats, sweaters and wraps! On that note, I'd like to go cuddle up in a blanket so we'll make this post short. Here are two winter-approved looks straight from the celebrities closets to yours (for hundreds less!)

Who secretly (or proudly) still watches Disney when flipping through the channels? We know everyone has taken a peek at what replaced Lizzie McGuire so we figured why not take a fashion tip from the latest Disney star, Ashley Tisdale. She was recently seen in a Free People open weave knit sweater & we just happen to have similar sweaters in the store right now for far, far less! (And don't tell Ashley, but we think our sweaters are cuter!)

We may all be jealous that Selena Gomez can hear "Baby, Baby, Baby" live anytime she wants from her boyfriend, Justin Bieber, but now we are giving you a way to get even... We've got the perfect look-a-like of the brown leather jacket that she has been seen sporting around, and to make it even better, our price tag is no where near her designer gear.

Fashion Resolutions for 2012

It's 2012! We hope you are all as excited as we are at Entourage for a New Year! In line with a new year, we want to know.. What is your New Year's Resolution? Talk of diets, getting in shape, saving money, etc have been floating around the store from our employees so we want to know if you are like the Entourage girls or hoping for something unique in the year to come? Our store resolution for 2012 is to make the shopping experience more personal. We want to order the kind of clothes YOU want, hold the kind of contests that YOU would enter and host events that YOU and your girls would love to attend. Last year we ran a New Year, New You Contest but this year, we are hoping to think of ways to incorporate fun contests into each month of 2012 to give our fans more involvement in the store.. and of course, more chances to win. Let us know what kind of contests you want to see---the more feedback we get, the better we can make things for our fabulous fans! So start sending in those recommendations because our pens are out and we are ready to take notes :)

On the subject of resolutions, here are the Top 10 Fashion Resolutions for 2012 by the New York Post followed by links of how to achieve them on a budget! We loved some of them, let us know what you think!
