Night & Day

It's the time of the year for Christmas Parties and cocktails! While the definition of Holiday is listed as"a time of festivity or recreation when no work is done" we all know this really isn't the case.While we wish the whole holiday season was filled with champagne and sequins and not accounts payable or conference calls, we unfortunately know that most of us have work to do so we wanted to show you how to transform yourself  from the business beauty into the party princess in no time.Check it out...

A few tricks to keep close:

1. Don't be afraid to over accessorize! It's the one time of the year we add sparkle to just about everything everyone cheers!

2. Keeping a smaller clutch inside of your daytime bag with just the essentials can really make pulling off this fashion magic trick a lot easier

3. When in doubt: add a pop of color! It's a sure fire way to get you from a cold cup of coffee at 4 p.m. to celebrating with a nice mug of eggnog with all your pals until the break of dawn.

Enjoy!

And the Winner is....

So if you are tuning in late we challenged all are Rosewood Customers to post a pictures on Instagram or Twitter of them rocking something from Rosewood. You can see all the contestants if you look at #myrosewood!
Genna and I choose Rebeka Ragan as the winner of #myrosewood! Great job Rebeka! You can stop by Rosewood Sewickley sometime this week and pick up your $10 Store Credit to hold on to or to use!

SOS!...THANKSGIVING DRESS DILEMMA!

In cased you missed it, I thought had my Thanksgiving outfit planned, and I even invented a catchphrase for it...

No head-fake intended, but I just got in some new stuff, and there was an, umm...conflict. Long story short I don't know which Thanksgiving dress I like better. Honest opinions please! I promise to pay it forward next time you stop in to the store :)

This is Kathryn's first born: Our little pride & joy which came into existence in April of 2011- The Sewickley Store! 

Like the saying goes "It felt so nice we did it twice"...err something like that haha. The Sewickley store just wasn't enough to satiate our love of bringing you beautiful things, so in September 2012 we welcomed the younger (but much bigger) store in Mount Lebanon which features all the things you loved at the first store plus some home and gift options!

Stop in and see us at either location anytime!! Oh and don't forget to drop by our website if you're more of the sweatpants shopper (not judging!!) www.shop-rosewood.com

Getting Ready for Holiday

Yesterday at Rosewood Sewickley we had the most amazing photo shoot. Sometimes when working in this business, you have the pleasure of meeting the most amazing people. Yesterday was one of those days. Pictures were taken by sisters-in-law Jenn Razete and Christy Razete (you know I love sisters-in-law). These two photographers were incredible considering it was cold out and they let me have a million different outfit changes!
A big shout-out to Madi Fecko who was the model for the day, without her there would be no pictures! She was such a trooper in the freezing cold weather and rocking all the holiday dresses! Also I have yet to meet Krystle Sierras, but she did the makeup for the shoot and all I can say is it knocked my socks off. I follow her on Instagram and her work is just beautiful. I love working with all these talented women. So after all this babble, here's a sneak peak of the shoot -- these are just from the girls' iPhone!

New & Beautiful Things!
