BRING ON THE BOWLS!

It’s that time of year. The time of year when even your favorite TV shows take the back seat, when remotes are forfeited and the question “what are we going to watch tonight” isn’t even asked. It’s Bowl Season. There are some amazing bowl games to be had this year ending with what can only be predicted as an epic bowl game between #1 seed Notre Dame and #2 seed Alabama. Whether your favorite team was lucky enough to make it into a bowl game, or you have to choose a new favorite team for the end of the year, this is a time to come together for some good old fashioned football viewing…and when we say come together, we mean play up those old rivalries (or new ones) and cheer as loud as you can when your team wins (or curse that they were robbed!!)

Here at Meesh & Mia, as you can imagine, we have some die hard fans….and if they weren’t when they started, they’re certainly starting to catch on. We asked our gals who they would be rooting for this bowl season and we were pleasantly surprised that there are PLENTY of office rivalries! True, many of these rivalries are for show…our web manager only loves Alabama because our art manager loves Notre Dame…but that’s what this holiday season is all about, right?

 So, in honor of Bowl Season, we had a photo shoot with the ladies of Meesh & Mia sporting the looks of their favorite teams. We are a small team, so not all bowl games are represented here, but please know that we truly heart ALL bowl games and, with the exception of just a few teams, we have plenty of fashions to make you stand out in any bowl game crowd! We mean it when we say this year is going to be a Bowl Full of Fashion.

Check Out What’s To Come!!!

If you’re like us, you’re always wondering what’s next. I mean, we get it…new quickly becomes ‘so last week’ and you can’t wait to find out what is coming your way from your favorite collegiate apparel source!  Well we can’t give away all of our secrets, I mean what’s the fun in that? But we can give you a sneak peek into what’s next for Meesh & Mia. We’ve given you some of our favorite looks to date these last few weeks (the dresses, the adorable tunics, the must-have classics) but what’s to come has us even more excited. Jeggings, leggings, stripes and skirts are going to fill up our site these next few months and we’re going to be introducing some styles that are sure to transform your game day, work day, any day style! Here’s a few quick pics of what’s to come!!!

Pretty much the coolest pants in town…available ridiculously soon on meeshandmia.com…school logo jeggings?? It can’t get any better…

Or can it?! They’re available in school colors too!! School colored denim jeggings…even better.

Stripes galore…coming soon to various styles near you. Shown here, the Striped Button Back Dolman (available in our full assortment of school colors!)

See folks…it just keeps getting better!

Introducing MADE IN THE USA - A Note from our CEO

At Meesh & Mia we are committed not only to supporting education, but to creating jobs for the graduates of our many University partners. This, among many other reasons, is why we felt a compelling responsibility to manufacture our products within the United States. This year, we are thrilled to announce that over 65% of Meesh & Mia’s products are now designed and manufactured here in the United States!

We couldn’t be more excited to introduce our incoming 2012 styles, available later this month, with the easily identifiable and always welcomed “Made in th U.S.A” tag. You’ll now see it appearing throughout the site on your favorite new styles!

We’re looking forward to an exciting and successful year and we can’t wait for you to join us in the movement.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Turley

Founder & CEO

We’ve got the Manufacturing Fever!

We’ve been talking about it…we’ve been excited about it…and now it’s being manufactured as we speak!!! So many amazing bright school colors on soft, flattering fabric…the anticipation is killing us! Here are some of our favorite pictures from our amazing manufacturing partners (more on them soon…you’re going to love these guys!) of the product that is nearly ready for you to purchase. Within the next few weeks, we’re all going to be donning our new summer dresses and…dare we say…making everyone jealous of just how cute we are :)

Look at that orange! We told you it was coming!

It all begins with a single thread….

Looks like they’re working on some Ohio State gear…or Kansas…or Ole Miss…or…

The Meesh & Mia Weekend Getaway Look!

A casual look that shows the world where you came from! Pair our denim mini and striped scoop top with a pair of sandals and leather satchel and you’ve got all you need for a fun, casual weekend look! Whether you’re planning lunch with your old sorority sisters, playing in a quick alumni golf tourney or just a going to the farmers market…this look is the perfect fit for whatever your weekend brings. It’s not about what you’re doing, it’s about how you look doing it (and it’s always more fun when you can show off your team colors!!)

It’s Time to Wear your Whites!

Gone are the days where there is a set date for when you can wear white…I still remember reading a fashion piece one day that said “Wear White when you Want!!” and I was so thrilled b/c I hated packing up my white pants every year right after Labor Day weekend knowing I would not see them for another 8 months. Yes, I was a happy reader. However, there are the few out there that will not throw this rule to the wind and say winter is not time to wear a bright white…well, whether you’re a diehard believer in strictly summer whites or a wear white rebel it doesn’t matter, because this weekend is Memorial Day and it’s A-Okay for anyone and everyone to unpack those whites and start the summer routine!

Lucky for you, Meesh & Mia offers a white color option for every school we offer! So just because your school is navy, black or red doesn’t mean you have to give up on showing your school pride during the summer months.

So, from all of us at Meesh & Mia who are gearing up for a warm few months…we say wear white when you want!

Show Them Where You’re From - Derby in Fashion!

It’s Kentucky Derby time, and if there’s one thing we know about the Kentucky Derby it’s that the horse racing often comes in at a distant second to fashion. ..I mean, the horses shouldn’t be the only ones that look their best, right?!? Big hair, big jewelry, big sunglasses, and of course big hats fill Churchill Downs year after year. Don’t get us wrong, the race is one of the most spectacular events all year with some of the most beautiful creatures on earth giving it their all for a chance at the triple crown…we’re simply saying that watching the horses is often times overshadowed by watching people!  Well, this year, you can get in on that Kentucky Derby fashion AND show your school pride…we’ll show you how!  First, get your Meesh & Mia twist front dress asap, shown here for the University of Kentucky because, well, it makes sense! Then accessorize. And don’t forget… on May 5^th no accessory is ‘over-the-top’.  So for this Derby, get dressed up and show off where you came from!

The New Schools on the Block

Starting this week, we are adding on to our Meesh & Mia awesomeness by introducing quite a few new schools to the collection. This week, we’re welcoming the below schools…and throughout the month of May we’ll be adding just about 30 more. This is an exciting time for Meesh & Mia as we grow our selection and start adding new styles, colors and…most importantly…fans!  Keep an eye out for updates in the coming weeks, with so many new and exciting things taking place you won’t want to miss a thing!

Now offering:

Army Black Knights

Cornell Big Red

Creighton BlueJays

Gonzaga Bulldogs

Houston Cougars
