Saying Goodbye to Summer 2015!

Every year, time seems to go by a little faster. It seems like yesterday my littles were babies, and now Driver's Licenses aren't that far off. Summers seems to go fastest of all. We plan a million outings and dream of vacations, then turn around and the leaves are getting ready to fall! We did have a wonderful summer, but it certainly is drawing to a close. As we say goodbye to summer, we also say goodbye to oodles of designs from the Spring/Summer catalog. Many of these designs are long time favorites!

I thought I would count down a few of my personal retiring favorites as we send them off into the Jamberry vaults! Here's my run down of some of my most beloved "Going, Going, GONE" wraps!

First, we say goodbye to some of our Color of the Year wraps, including my personal favorite "Marsala in Bloom" (bottom right) which I wore with "Marsala Chevron"(sticking around!). It's also retiring in it's sleek solid, as well as "Mirage". This has been a joy to have around this year. I can't get enough of it's rich, earthy, wine color. Don't worry, you haven't seen the last of it, but if you love these designs, be sure to add them to your cart soon!

Next, "Everything Nice" (top right, worn with  "Icy Taupe Polka"). This was one of the first chevrons that was introduced with the sparkle chevron layers between the solid colors, and I absolutely love that look. Everything Nice in particular is great with it's cool tones of blue and green, sophisticated with darker blue and a gorgeous neutral taupe. This wrap pairs so beautifully with many others. I love to see it worn with solids, such as retiring "Athens".   It's also lovely with "Iced".

"Gray and White Polka" may seem unassuming, but it surprised me with it's versatility. I think it was the combination of the larger, graphic dots, paired with the soft colors that made it so wonderful. This one got a lot of wear from me. I loved pairing it with our holiday wraps,and by popular demand, wore it with "Sweet Whimsy". Sweet Whimsy is retiring in it's glossy finish. Thankfully, this whimsical design will stick around in Matte. If you prefer the glossy finish, be sure to stock up!

Lastly, we send off two of my favorites: "Soiree" and "Glam". These are two that before I met Jamberry, I wouldn't have guessed I'd like! The bold combination of rich burnt orange and deep blue, with splashes of gold, is absolutely breathtaking to me! I wore both of these together in numerous mix-and-match combinations. (It's shown on the collage above at left with last year's October Host Exclusive--and this picture is actually featured on Glam's official Jamberry page--so fun!) If you're looking for other pairing possibilities, consider some more graphic punch with "Slatted Herringbone" or "Arrow"!

Are any of these on your favorites list? Which of your top picks did I miss? Don't forget to order yours, whatever they may be, by August 31st!

I hope you all enjoy your last days of summer (or winter, for those of you on the other side of the globe!)! Make the most of it! Farewell, Summer! It's been a great one!
