Watch Wednesday - Bold Brights

Isn't it funny how some things remind you of others? Well, here at Lewis, we're still on a color kick! When I came across some stunningly colorful internet finds, I immediately thought of all the colorful watches we have in store.

How fun is a bright pop of color for your wrist??

New Location Update / Part 1 / The Showroom Floor

We had our Thursday meeting at the new location today and boy, oh boy we are SO excited. From the very beginning, up to this point, there has been SO MUCH PROGRESS! The store is even more beautiful than I imagined it to be and it's so exciting to be part of such a progressive moment for Lewis! So here's the first part of a two part post! Below, I introduce you to our (almost complete) showroom floor...

 Welcome!

 Remember what it looked like in the beginning?

The store lights are one of the coolest features! Watch this video to see why! 

 Even the floor sparkles!

How glamorous and modern is the ceiling?? 

The Lewis Team!

 We can't wait until our customers get to experience the store in person! And so, the countdown to our move begins! We have exactly ONE MONTH to go!

Do you have Eclectic Energy?

If so, this is definitely the post for you. Here at Lewis Jewelers we're celebrating a whole MONTH of color. Did I previously forget to mention this? Since our Week of Color posts, we've decided to extend it. This could easily be a Year of COLOR... Wendy and Kimberly came up with this great idea to share our ideas about color and the different ways jewelry can be worn and get customers more involved with picking out jewelry for Lewis. After all, it's all about  We have our creative juices flowing and working on putting it all together!

Wendy's client, Jodi, was her first model and didn't the pictures come out fantastic?! Wendy's creative interpretation of how jewelry can be worn is so fun! Not to mention her sweet picture taking skills!

Here's the final product! We're definitely having a lot of fun with this project!

This & That -- Pattern Edition No. 2

If you've ever stepped foot inside Lewis Jewelers it's pretty obvious that we love color! I've recently started noticing that a few of us get pretty crazy when it comes to mixing colors and patterns. Not to point anybody out... but, last week, (on the same day!) Tarah and I came to work sporting some colorful patterns and funky color combos! You'll soon realize that I'm a huge fan unconventional color palettes. Upon viewing Tarah's eclectic mix of color and pattern I began to think about which pieces of jewelry would match her outfit and voilà! the second ever This & That post was born!

Rise Cupcakes + Mardi Gras = Deliciousness with a baby included!

Today Kimberly picked up some festive cupcakes from Rise Cupcakes! Not only are they extremely delicious but they're pretty and colorful as well... talk about fitting right in with our week of color!

They're so mouthwatering that two were eaten as soon as they were set on the table!

And guess who got the baby...

Lucky me! I just have to make sure to bring a king cake (or more cupcakes!) next!

Aren't they pretty?!

What color are you?

We've had a very colorful morning here at Lewis Jewelers! Wendy was our speaker for our first Breakfast of Champions for 2012. (Breakfast for Champs is a monthly breakfast we have with speakers, a cute set up and delicious eats!) Since we're celebrating color this week, Wendy talked about color personalities at work. The colors consist of Gold, Blue, Green and Orange. Here's a tiny bit of info about each color:

•  GOLD - The driving force for a gold personality is responsibility. Golds are conscientious, dependable invdividuals who want to do the right thing and follow established standards. Attributes for a Gold: Prepared, Reliable, On-Time, Appropriate, Follows rules, Details Oriented and Organized.
• BLUE - The driving force is relationships. Before blues make a decision, they check to determine how it will affect the people involved. They will go the extra mile, often putting the needs of others before their own. Attributes for a Blue: Friendly, Helpful, Compassionate, Considerate, Cooperative, Emotional, Expressive, Imaginative, Creative and Affectionate.
• ORANGE - Oranges are opportunistic. Their driving force is freedom. If they feel they do not have choices, they may just create some. Natural risk-takers, rules seem to be guidelines to aim for and are often flexible and negotiable. Attributes for Orange: Active, Take charge, Competitive, Negotiator, Spontaneous, Performer (they're entertaining!) and Multi-tasking.
• GREEN - The driving force for Greens is competency. Naturally curious, they thirst for knowledge and information and like to come up with solutions and systems for solving problems and inventing a better future. Preferring to keep their emotions to themselves, they approach situations objectively. Attributes: Problem-solvers, Independent, Tenacious, Self-assured, Witty sense of humor, Logical, Analytical, Creative and Ingenious.

So which color are you? At first I felt like a Blue, but once Orange was explained I second guessed my first assumption. Honestly, everybody can have a little bit of every color so the real question should be which color dominates your personality? We learned that in order for a work environment to actually work together and accomplish goals there must be personalitites of each color. Imagine if everybody were an Orange personality type... that would be entertaining!

Here are a few pictures from our colorful morning breakfast meeting:

The beautiful breakfast set up... COLOR EVERYWHERE!

We picked a plate based on which color we thought we were.

Delicious food from The Egg and I.

We love Fiesta dinnerware... and bold colors!

Pick a plate!

Wendy speaking to the Team! She is definitely an ORANGE!

We're always full of laughs and giggles!

Wendy requested a quirky video

as an introduction to her presentation.

Quirky AND colorful? Done and done! Enjoy!
