We're baaaack!

Well, well... apparently it's been pretty busy since Sept! As everyone in the retail business knows you go into a big black hole starting in October - ours just happen to last until now! :) So a couple things we've been up to: had some great holiday selling on both WS & retail (woohoo); went to Markets in Dallas 3x's to buy & sell, Atlanta and LA; donated a 'chunk of change' to Meals on Wheels thanks to our awesome customers who purchased BELIEVE T's; ate a lot of pumpkin pie; celebrated the Ya Ya sisterhood at an incredible Gospel lunch @ the House Blues; went through two freezes; launched a little 'LOVE' clothing line for Valentines (which our vote is to continue the love all year); made room for A LOT of new gift and now getting ready for a remodel since we're bustin' at the seems; created some very cool, new decorative wine bottles (of course drank a lot of wine to create them - hehe); put on the Fashion Show for La Soiree Gala here in Beaumont (which was phenomenal)...and a partridge in a pear tree!!

A new way to consume your time...

If you haven't experienced polyvore.com yet and love fashion & art but don't want to spend hours on the internet....just don't go. :) It's like having thousands of little stylists at your fingertips. Plus, if you are extremely visual like me & like to create new looks you can just go b-a-n-a-n-a-s. But I digress, if you want to go on there for assistance finding a great look with say..um..those gorgeous skinny, grey Luxury Citizens you just bought just pop it in the search box and POOF! Fabulous collages will pop up with your new purchase incorporated in them. Polyvore.com will tell you what the rest of the items are in the collage and even direct you where to purchase them! So cozy up to your laptop with a latte because it's going to be a long night of fashion fun!

Sale, sale, sale!

Every girl loves a great sale and we at YaYa aim to please!!! Come join the fun!

Rock N Roll(erskating) Queens!

The new Beaumont People & Property Summer edition is out and we have some fabulous ladies from our store featured! We had so much fun shooting the photos but not without bumps & bruises! Let's just say most girls haven't skated since before puberty so there were definitely some sore bums the next day!

Courtney & April: Disco Divas!

Brittney & Hailey: Dolled-Up Dynamic Duo!

Elsa got some fun props...cones AND a whistle!!

That's A Wrap!

If you want to look cool and do good then a MUST is the Humanity for All wrap bracelet! It comes in a ton of colors and we just started carrying the new Come Together bracelet (below) and vintage nailhead wraps! I got a basic white leather wrap in June and I kid you not I get stopped atleast once a day by young people, old people, at restuarants, etc. Plus I have now discovered it is a fantastic gift to give! Oh, and in the YaYa spirit 25% of the proceeds go to buy school supplies for homeless children...um, how could you not want one...or two...or three!?!

Road Warrior Princess

It's just how she rolls! Angie can turn a ten minute drive into work into an experience. Case in point, last week our fearless leader was headed into the office when she saw a woman running with a small entourage in downtown Beaumont. Angie, being the curious gal she is, stopped to find out what was going on. Five minutes later, she was taking pictures with a fellow cancer survivor and very inspirational woman!!

The woman is Helene Neville, a nurse & cancer survivor (and new fan of YaYa), running from California to Florida in under 100 days! Her journey is entitled "One on the Run". I don't even like to run 2 miles so the fact that she is (a) running 2520 miles (b) in 100 days, (c) a cancer survivor and (d) 50 years old, inspires the heck out of me!!! Oh, and did I mention this is all to promote healthy living for OTHERS! If she's jogging around the country I guess the least we can do is go for a jog around the neighborhood! But first, check out her website http://oneontherun.com/

Belt It Out....

Our new accessory love are these hand-woven belts from Alma Soul! They are made in Peru and it takes a weaver two days to make just one! The colors are fantastic and no two are the same.
Ofcourse, you know we YaYas love an excuse to shop and give at the same time SO you can feel good knowing Alma Soul donates a portion of their profits to Esperanza y Caridad, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating, clothing, feeding a providing medical care to some of the poorest children in Peru!
