It's A Sample Sale, Y'all!

It's almost time for the Noonday Collection Spring Line Launch!
This means parting with some sweet pieces to make room for the new stuff.
This also means AWESOME deals.  

As an homage to the darlings that have been hostesses for trunk shows gone by,
they will get first dibs on the sale items.  
That means a 24 hour jump start to grab their favorite pieces.
But, not to fear, because the remaining sale items 
will be available to the rest of you short thereafter.  
Kinda makes you want to be a hostess though, right?  
I mean, I'm just sayin'.  

--------------------------

Okay, so are you ready to see the goods?!!!  

{HELPFUL HINT!! ALL BLUE HYPERLINKS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE WEBSITE

by African Style artisans in Uganda.}




Size medium (fits size 8-12 perfectly)

3.) The dazzling Danica necklace
 Originally $138

{I like to call this piece the Hunka Hunka Noonday Love.

4.) The "it's still cold in some places Ash Arm Warmers"
Originally $38
NOW $25
SOLD OUT


{These little lovelies were the first official piece that I saw from The Noonday Collection.
They had me at warm weather gear and coffee...what can I say?
I mean seriously, did you see the girl on the website with these things on?  
She is my girl crush.  Lookin' all cute and cozy in her winter gear with her coffee in hand.
Anyways, on to the product deets.
Artisans in Peru knit the warmers from Alpaca wool. 
What is an alpaca you ask?  


Only one of the cutest animals you've ever seen.
It's like a llama but smaller.
Without the spitting issue, one can hope.  
Alpaca wool is pricey and desirable due to it's soft {not scratchy!} feel.  
The detail in the knit is da bomb, for this very basic knitter,
and had to take several days to create.}

Originally $30
NOW $22




{Alpaca wool knitted in Peru.
Who doesn't love mustard yellow?
Sure to make your arm happy. :) }

the awesome Africa Style group in Uganda.

I personally think think this belt looks like it came straight from Anthro.
But no, Noonday is just as cool!

{It's the perfect way to adorn your blessed morning coffee or tea.
An adorable Peruvian alpaca was shorn to give you this mug accessory.
Fight the urge to buy an alpaca and just get one of these instead...}

15.) Eyelet Arm Warmer
Originally $38
NOW $25

  
{The website no longer carries these sold out warmers, 
so just ignore my apparently chubby fingers and horribly manicured nails
and focus on the Peruvian cuteness that is the eyelet arm warmer.  
It's a pretty subtle blue color {not Instagram purple as it appears}.

Originally $32
NOW $25
SOLD OUT



{This turquoise stone and silver and brass dangles are made by artisans in India.
I'm a sucker for turquoise and love wearing it with just about any color 
for the "I am so trying not to be matchy matchy look.}

{This unique piece is from our Ethiopian artillery line. 
I have a few other pieces or else I would keep it too because it's so original!
Be a trendsetter with the tribal triangular look.}

Originally $38
NOW $29

{Yet another lovely set from our Ethiopian artillery line.
They are a little heavier than my ears can tolerate
(after my Garfield earring got caught in the carpet 
and ripped my poor earlobe as a kid. :(  
Not overly heavy, just a little too heavy for my sensitive ears.} 

Originally $38
NOW $28
SOLD OUT
{Add some charm to your arm with this standout cuff crafted by our artisans in India.}
