Easter Activities for you and your Family!

Easter is this Sunday and if you are looking for something fun to do with your family, then visiting one of the Outlets of Colorado this week is the thing to do. Outlets at Castle Rock, Outlets at Loveland, and Outlets at Silverthorne have something special planned for you and a fun way to enjoy the Easter holiday.

Outlets at Castle Rock Easter Bunny Hop (to your house). The center is having an enter-to-win contest where one lucky family is going to have a special visitor (hint, cotton tail and large ears) stop by their home this Saturday (between 1 pm and 3pm) for a special Easter Egg Hunt and Meet & Greet. The Easter Bunny, along with his friends from Harry & David and the center, will be on hand to make the visit a special memory for everyone. To enter your name into the “Easter Bunny Hop to your House” drawing and for specific information stop by Outlets at Castle Rock’s Customer Service Desk in the food court. We will be drawing the one lucky winner on Thursday, April 21, 2011.

Outlets at Castle Rock Breakfast with the Easter Bunny. Join us in our food court on Saturday, April 23rd at 9:00 am  – 10:00 am where you’ll enjoy a pancake breakfast with the Easter Bunny. Eat breakfast, have your photo taken with the Easter Bunny, get your face painted, have a balloon turned into something totally cool, and much more. Tickets are $5 per person and can be purchased at Outlets at Castle Rock’s Customer Service Desk.

Outlets at Loveland Easter Fun. Join the Outlets at Loveland on Saturday, April 23rd from 1pm to 4pm for some free Easter Fun! The event will be held in the Community Room (next to Levi’s).

Outlets at Silverthorne celebrates Easter with their new shopping center mascot Thor. Stop by Outlets at Silverthorne Visitor’s Center this week (Tuesday through Friday) from 9am to 4pm and meet Thor. The management team will be giving out Easter candy and special coupons from the retailers at Outlets at Silverthorne. Thor can’t wait to be the Easter Bunny! He wants to show off the new demands (like sit) that he’s learning. You’ll be impressed with what this little puppy, that was rescued just a few months ago, has learned. If you “like” Outlets at Silverthorne Facebook page they are donating $0.50 per every new “like” to the League of Animals and People of Summit County – a non-profit organization helping pets from low-income homes. If you haven’t liked their yet, do so before May 31, 2011 to help raise needed funds for this great Summit County organization.

The Outlets at Castle Rock, Outlets at Loveland, and Outlets at Silverthorne will be open Easter Sunday from 11 am to 6pm.

Fashion Ambush, Colorado Style.

In 2011 Outlets of Colorado will be up and down I-25 working our fashion magic. On January 30, 2011 Outlets at Castle Rock, Outlets at Loveland, and Outlets at Silverthorne will launch The Fashion Ambush with a Colorado Twist. It’s our newest fashion makeover adventure and with the help of my sidekick Craig Coffey, morning reporter on Fox 21 television, will be “ambushing” unsuspecting individuals each month in 2011, at a variety of tourism attractions in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region.

The first Ambush is planned for Sunday, January 30, at Cheyenne Mountain Resort during their Sunday Champagne Brunch at the resort’s signature Mountain View Restaurant.

One lucky diner will be selected for an on-site restyling.  The winner is rewarded with a makeover valued at $500 and awarded additional prizes such as a two night stay at Cheyenne Mountain Resort.  Ambush subjects receive a wardrobe from the Outlets’ designer retail stores like Off 5th, Ann Taylor and CAbi, a complete expert hair style from Styles Salon, professional makeup and fashion advice. The process is documented on film before, during and after the Fashion Ambush and the resulting three-minute video segment will appear on Fox 21 for several weeks– until the next Ambush occurs. 

I’m thrilled with our year-long Fashion Ambush program because we’ll provide information, entertainment, education and advice for Colorado shoppers on how best to maximize their dollars and their look, by shopping at the Outlets of Colorado in Castle Rock, Loveland and Silverthorne.

If you’d like to have the chance for a new makeover (valued at over $500) then you’ll need to be down at Cheyenne Mountain Resort during the Sunday Champagne Brunch. To learn more about the fabulous brunch they serve, click here.

If you’d like to win a pair of tickets to the Champagne Brunch on Sunday, January 30, 2011 then click over to Outlets of Colorado’s Facebook page, click on the Brunch for 2 and enter your information (while you’re there if you haven’t “liked” us…you should…because we like you)!

Ambushing an unsuspecting consumer each month at various Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak Region attractions is going to be a blast. With the help of Fox 21 we film each entertaining and authentic episode, sharing how Coloradans can be both budget-conscious and stylish.

See you at Mountain View Restaurant at Cheyenne Mountain Resort on January 30th.

I Love Cashmere (hint, hint) for Christmas!

Even though we’ve had a unseasonably warm December, I still have Cashmere sweaters on my Christmas list. I’m not too demanding either (really), it can be pure Cashmere (because there are deals to be had out there) or I’d be completely thrilled to receive a sweater in a Cashmere blend w/silk or wool (they still give you the feel of luxe). I can’t help it. I love the way the material makes me feel and how it wears over time.

Cashmere is a soft and breathable material so you can wear it almost year-round. We’ve got great deals on Cashmere at the Outlets of Colorado and you’ll find Cashmere in many of our stores. Check out Saks Fifth Avenue OFF Fifth, J.Crew, Kenneth Cole, Eddie Bauer, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, and Brooks Brothers to name a few place you can find the latest styles, colors, and fashion. I’ve found everything from turtlenecks, Cabled V-neck,  twin sets, and then my favorite Cashmere scarves and gloves. Yummy.

If you’re looking for a gift this Christmas, I highly recommend giving Cashmere! You’ll find great deals at the Outlets at Castle Rock, Outlets at Loveland, or Outlets at Silverthorne.  

Happy Holidays!

Showing Off the Hottest Looks for Campus

On Monday the Outlets of Colorado – Outlets at Castle Rock, Loveland, and Silverthorne stopped by Metromix.com to showcase some of the hottest looks for campus. We spent most of the day with Erica Boniface (who we just love). Check out the photo gallery from our time with them.

Welcome Smart Shopper

Did you know that this is the year of outlet shopping? Okay, maybe not based on the Chinese New Year calendar, but really, it’s our year. The Outlets of Colorado (home to Outlets at Castle Rock, Loveland and Silverthorne) have launched a blog about outlet shopping in efforts to share everything we know about smart shopping.
