Flattery Fit Fashion Hit - Lisette L Pant at CT Weekends

Bottoms Up!  It takes a lot for a pair of pants to impress us these days.  With all the pretty frocks around for fall and spring we'd just about written off the old dungaree.  And then a pair of perfectly fitting Lisette L Pants  walked into our lives.  The stretchy (but not too stretchy) fit miraculously turned our bottom half into our better half.  Not to mention that the selection of colors are spot-on-for some of the best back-ends around.

Meet Lisette Limoges owner and designer of the Lisette L Pant on Thursday, Sept. 6th at CT Weekends in Cameron Village from 5:30-7:30pm.  Enjoy wine and hors d'oeuvres while previewing her spring 2013 colors and styles.  Pre order and receive a 10% discount and register to win a Free pair!  To RSVP click here. 

The only pant with Flatterie Fit™:  The secret behind Lisette L's success is the close to the body effect of the fabric and special pull-on Flatterie Fit™.   With no zipper or buttons to bother with, Lisette L flattens and flatters, slims the abs, contours the hips and shapes the behind.  The look is flat out fabulous!

Whichever style you choose, the Lisette L collections are sure to leave you wanting more.  As for all those other brands out there?  Just ignore them.  You know survival of the fittest.

Digging for Diamonds - Tar Heel and Wolfpack Fans

What do Tar Heel and Wolfpack fans have in common?  Bailey's Fine Jewelry! That's it!  But that's enough. 

Bailey's Fine Jewelry will become an official sports sponsor of the 2012-2013 Tar Heels and Wolfpack which means the familiar Bailey Box will become even better known in both schools' football stadiums. 

Fans from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have plenty to look forward to on Saturdays. Game day highlights include a Bailey Box video board game at Carter-Finley Stadium, video board features and replays throughout the season at Kenan Stadium, private shopping events for each fan base and the popular Digging for Diamonds contest event at both schools.

Digging for Diamonds pits competing couples against each other in the on-field search for a $10,000 diamond ring hidden among many Bailey Boxes. The couple that finds the ring first leaves the home field victorious and with a new diamond ring. Digging for Diamonds will take place at both schools on Nov. 24 as the Tar Heels take on the Maryland Terrapins and the Wolfpack host Boston College.   

"As a North Carolina born-and-bred company, we know the important role college sports play in the lives of our patrons," said Trey Bailey, director of operations at Bailey's Fine Jewelry. "It's part of the culture here and we are so excited to be a new part of Tar Heel and Wolfpack fans' game day experience."

Established in 1948 in Rocky Mount, Bailey's is a family-owned-and operated business now under third-generation North Carolina leadership.
