Last Mention

We are all obsessed by Michael Phelps. I would name my next child Michael with out hesitation. I have a MP swim cap and goggles. When I swim I pretend to be him and have no shame in admitting it. This is an amazing angle of a picture frame from his 100 meter Butterfly race which set the stage for history. You can view the whole sequence frame by frame at Sports Illusatrated.com

Thank you for a week filled with excitement and surprise.

Four years and counting until London 2012.

No Words Needed

We are speechless.

One 800th of a second

I don't know about you, but last night was thrilling in more ways than one.

Let me recount the moments.

Michael Phelps.....

Well we can not get over Michael. Or the 4 x 100 MEN'S RELAY TEAM. I am sorry France did you say you were going to smash us? Nice try.

Go for the Gold guys. Can't wait for more tonight!

Finally

Prepare to be astonished. By any standard, the Opening Ceremony in Beijing will surpass any start to any Games in history. The most expensive opening ever was four years ago in Athens, when the Greeks spent a reported $30 million on their torch-lighting rite. The Chinese have surpassed them by a factor of 10. With an estimated $300 million budget, a seemingly never-ending cast of 15,000, and a fireworks display that's rumored to be the biggest in history, the Bird's Nest will redefine Olympic spectacle.

I will be glued to our family room TV to watch to all.

Tomorrow the games begin. Yeah!

Boy Oh Boy!!!

Caden John is C. Orrico's newest friend weighing in at 7lbs 3 oz.

Diana and Michael Perry welcomed their son into our happy world today. Congratulations and job well done. We can not wait to have him in the store for play time with the Orrico girls.

Cornelias Quest

This months Quest Magazine features Cornelia Guest as the cover girl. Of course donning her Lilly dress. She really is the epitome of classic style and elegance. The article says it all.

Accessorized in only the simplest Turquoise earring teardrops.

She is also one of our dearest friends. We thank her for always supporting C. Orrico over the past 20 years. She always gives us credit. We couldn't ask for a better head cheerleader. Sis Bum Rah! We love you.

p.s.

you look absolutely gorgeous and that is what everyone has said upon picking up the copy at the store.

New or Nui

Sneak peak for this upcoming season we found a really cool designer. Her name is Nui. She has one style dress that we can not live without. One size fits all in the softest jersey knit. I thought the same thing. Jersey knit? One size? This dress can not fit well. WRONG!
I just received my Nui yesterday to try. I am never taking it off. Then we tried it on our girls in the store. They range from size 2 to size 10. They all looked great. The length can be adjusted with one straight snip with scissors. We have a plethora of colors and prints coming in this Fall. Wear it with flips or dress it up with strappy Choos. Pashmina wrap it or jean jacket, either way you won't take it off either.

Swimming Lessons

This past weekend Casey,Kathie and myself took off to Miami for a night of googling at scantily clad models walking the walk at the Tibi Swimsuit Fashion Show.

Yes we will be carrying the line. Yes, it is amazing. It will be in the stores November 15, 2008 for Resort wear.

We dined at Devitos... more like a good ole pig out, but we will go with dined. The next day we spent at the Swim Show. We should basically change the name of our store to Tunics R Us. Tunics everywhere. Is there an easier item on the planet? We also saw Trina Turks Swim Line. Can you say A M A Z I N G!!! OK so the store next season will rival Swim n Sport. We will just call our new location C. Orrico Swim...

Kenny in C. Orrico?

Our dear friend Kenny Chesney came to visit us today ..... Fooled you. My crazy sister "borrowed" this advertisement out of a certain grocery store today.

We now have him in the store for you to play with. He is actually a lot of fun.

Come by and see him.
