OLovesM in Chicago Magazine's FASHION supplement


Good morning, everyone!

Thought I'd share some wonderful news - OLovesM, the quirky handbag company that all started when Founder Merle O'Brien was perfecting her downward dog in yoga class one day, was featured in Chicago Magazine's Fall FASHION magazine (2008). The much-awaited supplement to Chicago Magazine features the hottest fall fashions and it's always a delight to flip through the pages and see the awesome layouts and beautiful fall clothing.

OLovesM (http://www.olovesm.com/) is a line of eco-friendly handbags and accessories which are made from yoga mat remnants (the pieces that get cut off before the final yoga mat is made). The result is an amazingly lightweight and flexible bag with all the fun colors that you'd find for yoga mats. The one featured in the magazine are the OLovesM minis but the line is so much more than that. I'm partial to the Messenger Bag and the Sport Bag but you really can't go wrong with any of them. You will get addicted to them once you own one.

So, if you get Chicago Magazine, be on the lookout for the piece! If not, I've attached it here for your reading pleasure.

Ahh...Fall is just around the corner!

Modet In the News - Chicago Sun-Times, Sunday, Aug 3, 08

I'm delighted to report PJ McGuire made the front page of the Business Section of the Sunday Chicago Sun-Times! PJ launched Modet, Inc. (www.ModetInc.com) to help companies understand the importance of proper etiquette skills in the business. PJ (shown here on the left) demonstrates proper dining skills - something fewer and fewer young individuals are learning as they are growing up with less face time with friends in favor of text messaging and buying their friends drinks through Facebook.

Check out the whole article at: http://www.suntimes.com/technology/guy/1087813,CST-FIN-ecol03.article.

Congratulations, PJ!
