November 2024

Welcome November…
Let the madness begin girls. As we all know once Halloween is over Christmas happens within 24 hours. I always find it fascinating that once you go into the large shops after Halloween overnight, well what seems like overnight, the festivities begin. I hope you all enjoyed the Bank Holiday. It really is nice to just get that extra day to recharge and relax a little. That extra day makes a huge difference. We had a great time up in The Farnham Estate in Cavan. We had never been there before so it was really lovely to get away and even better that we could bring Murph with us. Farnham had just opened the houses on the Estate to dogs and Murph lived his best life. The space was amazing for him and the garden area is very well fenced off. I was worried about that incase he would go wandering but it was really safe and actually perfect. Beautiful walks around the Estate and I had a beautiful treatment in the Spa. I would highly recommend a break there for sure.
Anyways, onwards and upwards. It is back to it this morning, head down. I have a really busy month ahead as you can imagine. This month I have 28 brands on the website so lots and lots of gifting inspiration coming your way girls. As they say I am nearly a one stop shop for Christmas lol. You know me, I always try to get the best deals out there for you all, so watch this space. I will keep you all updated as the weeks go on. On Black Friday I have a special newsletter that I will be issuing at 06.30 am. There will only be seven brands on this with the very best offers out there. Lisa & Co will have Black Friday on Thursday November 28th, again an early newsletter will be issued here so keep an eye on your email. As you know girls with Lisa & Co. it is a once a year sale so lots of great deals will be coming your way.
What an October that was. It was really busy but I genuinely could not believe the success of the Mascara. It was mind boggling for me. To sell that volume out in such a short space of time I will never understand. I know I am biased but it really is a super product and the best I have ever used. I am really looking forward to hearing the feedback over the coming days as dispatch started on Tuesday. We won’t have the Mascara back in stock until February time. Hopefully I will have enough on the next run but who knows lol. December will be a really busy month for Cosmetics. We will have the Lip Trio, the Face Luxe Trio & Everyday Eyes. The Duo Sponge Set is arriving earlier than expected, it should be here later this month. I will have you all sorted, glamourous and sparkling for Christmas. I will let you all know on release dates closer to the time.
Today is going to be a very busy day here I think. Lots of restocks have gone up online. The disco tops, the chiffon tops, acrylic jumpers, plain and black trousers. Lots of choice there go and have a browse. CLICK HERE TO BUY
Fashion is also in full swing. I had a small Christmas shoot yesterday where we shot my sparkle collection. Who doesn’t love sparkles at Christmas? I have beautiful timeless pieces that will never go out of fashion coming this month girls. They are pieces that you can wear year after year and not just at Christmas. Sparkles in the last number of years have really become an all year round staple. We saw lots this year worn with jeans and skirts. My sequin colours are just amazingly rich and expensive looking and will take you out on a casual night or to a more dressy affair.
The Camisole tops in Black and Ivory and the sequin black blazer will go on sale on Monday November 4th. Watch out for a newsletter after 9.00am. The Cami’s are amazing in my opinion, the perfect amount of lace and the perfect weight. They are not see through and just ooze style. The sequin blazer is another level girls. It is out of this world and will take you to so many events and nights out. It is not just for Christmas either. It can be worn all year round for sure.
The 100% wool coats I will have online later in the month. I am predicting a sell out here. I have them in a red, black and camel colour. They are in one word, Amazing! The weight, the style, the fit, everything is top notch. The coats are priced amazingly and a piece that you will have for years. As the month progresses I will fill you in on the release dates. I did a small shoot of the coats the same day as we did the sequin shoot. I am so excited with all the fashion landing. I will also have the puffer coats coming at the end of the month. The third restock of puffers. They are always so popular but they work for everything from a city break to the sidelines.
I will be up in Standun in Spiddal in Co. Galway on Wednesday the 13th of November to kick off Christmas. I am hosting a fashion event along with my friend Mandy Maher. We always have the best fun! We will be going live from 7.00 pm on my stories. Discounts will be live for both fashion and gifting. The event is now sold out with over 400 attending. Santa will be there, and there will be mulled wine and mince pies served. If you cannot make the night as I said, watch my stories where the discount code will be live for the duration of the event. It will be a great festive night and I look forward to meeting lots of you there.
On another note I was over the moon to be nominated in the Eir VIP Publishing Power of Women Awards 2024. The event takes place on Friday November 8th in The Marker Hotel. I am a nominee in Fashion & Retail. This is my first nomination in this category and I am so delighted. To see my name amongst so many leading Irish designers and retailers really is a pinch me moment. I would like to say a really big thank you to all in Eir and VIP Publishing for including me. Now what to wear, the usual with us girls. I will keep you posted as the month goes on with all my madness and believe me it is madness in my world but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
That is about all my news for now. Chat throughout the month and thanks so much as always,
Lisa xx
