The silhouettes are airy and represent the feeling of ease. There’s an infusion of stillness that welcomes profound comfort.

The aesthetic is heritage. There’s a sense of royalty that embodies the joy of his work. The admiration for the love of art is expressed. The hue saturation and brightness draws you in.

New Jewelry Collection Coming…..

Each month, I add new arrivals to the Boutique. In August, I’m looking to launch a full Collection! The Collection will be reflective of Fall/Winter trending Accessories. Also, hand picked jewelry pieces based on customer purchases and feedback. And let me say, thank you all so much for your support!

Stay Tuned….

Now, let’s speak to a critical topic.  As I type this, we are 96 Days, 12 Hours, 40 Minutes and 20 Seconds away from the most impactful Presidential Election ever. To address all that’s on the line is too cumbersome for my brain and heart to fathom. With that aside, along with your political affiliation, a WOMAN is running for President.

Did you ever think, you’d witness a female candidate running for the highest office in the land?

Here’s some things to research before Election Day: Tuesday, November 5th.

  1. Make sure you and your family are registered to vote.  

  2. Confirm the polling hours in your area. 

  3. Know the date deadline for mail in ballots. 

  4. Check if your state mandates employers to offer time off to Vote. * 30 States are mandated.

It's time for Birthday Shoutouts! l

Sage & Chic would like to Honor and Celebrate a customer and subscriber but moreover, my sister and Bridget H. a Happy Birthday! 

I wish you for you so MUCH. 




 

August

August maybe the reminder that we need to re-adult, Summer is coming to end and we're soon to lose daylight savings time. I'm here to remind you - we still have time! Therefore, enjoy the month. And as reminder, keep your Head and Standards High.

Be Well,

Sherese.
