I had a Magpie Party in the Summer of 2010. I have a fabulous time!!!! It was such a fun and comfortable time for friends to gather in my home and be girls! I loved that the store came to my home! Robin and Emily did an incredible job setting up and making the space look wonderful! I will definitely have a party again! Their products are so fun and hosting is such an easy way to receive a great discount! All my friends love their purchases and if we ever had any questions or concerns about the size or color of our pick, Robin helped us with no problems. Can't wait for the next one!!!

B'Ann Dittmar and I hosted a party at A Clover on Main and joined our friends together. We had a fun evening and the merchandise is wonderful!!I am such a geek when it comes to the jewelry at Simply Elegant and could have purchased most everything myself :-) It is fun evening for girlfriends to get together, share a glass of wine and have Robin and Emily take care of you. I am now doing an online party so you can shop in your own home!!!

I had a Magpie Party at my home this year and it was a great time! It is AMAZING how Robin and Emily can turn your house into a store in a short time! Love they way people can just come and shop at my house, don't have to listen to an hour long presentation, and have super awesome girls there to suggest different accessories to go with ANY outfit! It is just like getting a makeover! I am usually not they type of person that likes to have parties...but I do have to say, this was my favorite one to host! Keep up the great job Robin & Emily!

I just attended an on-line Magpie Party! What a wonderful way to shop from the comfort of my own home and still support my friend who was hosting the party! I was able to easily access all of the wonderful products on line. The pictures and descriptions were right on which made it easy to choose exactly what I wanted! The website worked beautifully. I made my selection, purchased it with a credit card and quickly received an order confirmation via e-mail. The best part was that I could choose to pick my item up at Simply Elegant - rather than have it shipped! A few hours after I ordered, I received a confirmation that my item was ready. I walked into Simply Elegant Boutique and Emily had a beautifully wrapped package waiting for me with the accessories I purchased. It was so much fun.
I am so happy with my on-line experience that I have scheduled a Magpie Party in my home this November and can't wait to have my friends over to see the wonderful jewelry and accessories Robin and Emily offer! And for my friends who can't attend...I will encourage them to shop on-line, of course! Thanks Robin and Emily!

I LOVE Magpie!! I have not yet hosted my own party, but have attended MANY and I cannot get enough! I love that I can come together with my gal pals, chat, play and shop! I very much enjoy the variety of items Robin and Emily bring with them to a show. Anything from handbags to scarves to all the amazing jewelry a woman could want! The variety allows for ladies on any budget to come and enjoy the party!

I was so lucky to be the first one to host a Magpie Party in my home! Robin and Emily transformed my kitchen, dining room and living room into accessory heaven! I am not the best at accessorizing so a party like this was perfect! Robin and Emily were right there to help tie scarves, make suggestions and take care of all of us. What a great reason to have a girlfriends get together--shop in the comfort of a friends home, receive one-on-one assistance, enjoy each others company and sip on a glass of wine. I am proud to say that I have been a customer at Simply Elegant for about four years now and I have booked another Magpie Party in November!

I have had a lot of experience with the ladies and products of Magpie! First, I have been to several parties, and come away with many treasures! Robin and Emily are wonderful at pulling out the perfect accessory to complement your wardrobe, style, personality and look, and often it's something I wouldn't have chosen on my own, but fall in love with as soon as they put it around my neck, on my head or over my shoulder! Every Magpie party I have attended has been fun-filled, relaxed, comfortable and unique. I especially love that each time the product is different, and the "feel" is completely distinctive. I have not been disappointed with ANY of the Magpie products I have purchased, and continue to get tons of compliments on all of my goodies when I wear them.
I also had the chance to host a party in the spring, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Robin made the invitation process super easy-all I had to do was provide her with names and addresses, and she did the rest. I was so impressed with how quickly the girls completely transformed my living room and dining room into a boutique, and the setup was just beautiful. They worked with the furniture and seasonal decor I already had, and along with the spring jewelry, it looked festive, fun and fantastic! I had a large attendance at my party, as many people were curious about Magpie, and everyone had a great time with the low pressure (and interactive!) browsing atmosphere, fun (and not annoying!) games, and informative (and brief!) instruction time! The party was no trouble at all, as the girls really did all the work and I was free to mingle with guests and try on jewelry as well. At the end, I was able to get several items on credit as well as others at half price-I was very pleased! The best part is that since it's cash and carry, people take their items home that night and there is no hassle with ordering, delivering or follow up for the host.
I have recommended Magpie to many people, and would do so wholeheartedly to anyone who asks! I'd love to host another party in a different season, just to see what sort of "feel" the ladies can create for me. It's a great time, whether you're hosting or attending. The accessories are unique, beautiful, contemporary and affordable. The Magpie ladies are knowledgeable, personable and fun and the environment is low-pressure, enjoyable and helpful. All these things add up to a great event!

I have hosted a Magpie Party in the Spring of 2010 and it was a wonderful time for me and my girlfriends to get together and spend some good times in the company of good fashion. Robin and Emily brought Simly Elegant Beautique into my home and it was wonderful! I liked every piece of jewelery, all the purses and all the clothing items that Robin brought for the party. I LOVED the rewards I received for hosting a party and really all I had to do was open up my home and they did the rest-- easy enough. The other thing I really like about Magpie parties is that every party is different. Robin and Emily bring different fashion items to every party, which keeps it fresh and interesting! I am convinced that all my friends had a good time and left the party happy with their purchases and content with the fashion advice they received from the experts! :) I am blogger, so I did an entry on the Magpie Party I hosted, click on the website below and enjoy some pictures from the party! Thank you! http://thehobens.blogspot.com/2010/03/magpie-party.html

We all know that Robin is the queen of bling, so Magpie is the perfect outlet for her to help us all "find our shiny things"! Mary Sheahen and I had a fun and informative Magpie party. Not only did I learn how to knot a scarf (still wish I had Robin to help me with that each time, as she's much better at it than ! am), but I also got some awesome jewelry pieces to complete some outfits. I love Robin's honesty. My favorite, is putting something on and asking her, "What do you think of this" and having Robin look at me and say, "I don't like it on you", or the day I was wearing a light grey suit and she told me if she ever saw me wear that color again she'd have to slap me. I love you Robin!! REAL friends are HONEST. Thanks for making us all look good. You are the best, girlfriend!
