Crafted from leather cord and any mx of gold dipped nuggets or semi-precious stones, these cool trinkets have just a hint of bohemian but with a richness that takes away anything immature about them.

“Confession – A day without my tote is like a day without air.” Always in Lezli’s tote: iPad, iPhone, Chanel Lip Gloss, Sunblock, Business Cards, Altoids, Water Bottle, Hand Sanitizer, Protein Bar, “Us Weekly”.
Behind every woman is a great tote! Let’s face it, the bigger the bag the better. A tote used to be just for the grocery store, work, or the gym; but designers have done a fantastic job reworking it’s design to be the primary bag for everyday. Willow St. thinks that every woman should own a totally functional tote bag. Diamonds are traditionally a girl’s best friend, but now make room to include “the tote”!

Seen on everyone from Kate Bosworth to Heidi Klum, this fall is all about the bootie! All you summer-lovers now hear this!…the fall is coming whether we like it or not so we might as well embrace what it has to offer. In other words, let’s enjoy all the fall offerings even though the idea of putting on a pair of booties might seem a little pre-mature. This season we love the grey cracked suede booties from Matt Bernson.
Similar styles are all over celebrities who are wearing them now with everything from a sundress or shorts to skinny colored jeans or leggings. Our version is in our pre-sale section now, expected in-store on 7/30 and is only $228 as compared to the version that the celebs are wearing which retails for more than double at $580. Don’t you just love a bargain…we definitely do since every one of us ordered a pair of these. We also love this style with another one of our fall obsessions, the skinny micro-flare. All of us here at Willow St. have these on order as well and will be wearing them with the booties.
Check out our side by side pics of the Matt Bernson bootie with its more expensive fraternal twin…while we will admit to spending money on fashion when it is necessary, in this case we think it’s a definite save! You be the judge……
Not your average celebrity line, House of Harlow 1960is the creative baby of Nicole Richie. Named for her daughter Harlow, the line is the perfect picture of Richie’s own bohemian style. It is a blend of tribal touches with a gypsy feel mixed with a sexy 70’s glam that seems to fit effortlessly together.
Willow St. has been lucky enough to have the line since its inception, and it has been flying off the shelves ever since. Because of this fact, we feel that we are of the authority to guide you into the pieces that you will not want to be without this season. That being said, we are in love with the following:
Arrow cuff – because we are obsessed with the Navajo feel and how it will pair perfectly with our gem toned jeans
Crystal necklace – because the enamel mixed with the pave make it look super rich and we cant wait to wear it with our long tops
Tribal locket – because it’s beautiful….oh and also we just love lockets!
They are all brand new so check them out in our just in section and below check out some of our favorite celebs loving this line as well!
Designed by former model and wardrobe stylist Stef Hammitt to fulfill her own handbag needs, Hammitt Los Angeles was conceived in 2003. A quote taken from the brand’s website, “LA Stitched into Every Bag” says it all. This line takes the best parts of LA and puts them into each bag. By combining a classic style with an edge, Hammitt LA has achieved the laid back style of California with the cool edge of LA. Individually hand crafted by local artisans and lined in suede, the bags are all made in Los Angeles for unmatched quality and uniqueness that makes the line a favorite among celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba as well as stylists for popular shows like Gossip Girl and Entourage.
As a nod to the “forever young” mentality of California, another unique quality to Hammitt Los Angeles is the company’s re-furbishing services for the bags. In what they call their special surgery center, they will bring your bag “back to its youth”. There is a charge for the service, but the consultation is free so your bag really will last you a lifetime.
We are happy to welcome Hammitt Los Angeles to Willow St. and have already begun taking orders in our pre-sale section! Check it out and reserve yours now!!!!!

A favorite line of high profile celebs like Heidi Klum, Britney Spears and Julia Roberts, who sang the praises of the gorgeous scarves from the line on the May 6th episode of Oprah, Theodora and Callum is creating quite a buzz with its gorgeous prints and amazing fabrics. Drawing inspiration from international travel to fabulous destinations like Capri and India, the line incorporates bright colors and interesting prints to tell a story of a trip to a far away land.
Profiled in Hamptons Magazine, the lines co-creator Stefani Greenfield, along with her partner Desiree Gruber have always love the quote “dream in color” and they want the line to be a “celebration of dreams” and a “celebration of color”. This line is just that with its whispy light vintage fabrics found in vintage stores and thrift shops all over the world and its Mediterranean color influences of brights and pastels alike. Named for Stefani’s daughter Theodora and Desiree’s son Callum, we think the sensibility of the line works perfectly and tells a beautiful story while looking effortlessly chic.

The two loves of my life are Vegan food and faux leathers/furs. Now that the holidays are here, the baking and shopping have begun. For all my fellow vegans out there I’ve found some things that your taste buds and wallets can thank me for later.
Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies: This calls for a toast (go with almond milk)! Quick, easy and ‘mm ‘mm good! I made my test run batch, and trust me when I say these cookies will put a little sass in your dinner party frass. Have your guests singing ‘All I Want for Christmas’ is more of these little bites of heaven. Santa might want chocolate chip cookies and milk, but I’d put money on Rudolph preferring these vegan friendly treats!
While I’m on the animal friendly subject, Lezli-Salz Bradley owner and buyer of Willow St. covers this faux leather/fur category in a massive way. Big Buddha is one of our number one selling handbags,and are 100% Vegan friendly. Big Buddha has a smart business model – replicating high end designer bags like Versace and Prada for a 10th of the price. Did you know all the Big Buddha bags WillowSt.com carries are Under $100. Hot ticket! Money doesn’t grow on trees, (not even Christmas trees) but no worries, Big Buddha bags won’t break the bank. Not only are they eye catching and practical, but they are seen on celebrities everywhere. They get a ton of press in magazines like People Style Watch, Lucky and The ‘O’ Magazine. Shhhh don’t tell my sister, but I bought her the versatile Big Buddha London shoulder bag for work – love style steals!
Today was productive! I have my Holiday dessert planned, no brainer, and one Big Buddha London shoulder bag gift is on it’s way. The words ‘no pressure’ is music to my ears! WillowSt.com will even ship me the goods wrapped, ready to go – I don’t have to worry about a thing. A little spoiling around the Holidays won’t hurt anyone, right!
Big Buddha + Under $100 = The perfect Holiday gift for you, and.. well.. I ordered one for myself too!
Are belts in or out? Do you wear them up or down? When it comes to denim anything goes and we have a few simple tips to help buckle you in to this accessory.
As a Necessity: By definition the belt is a band of leather or cloth worn around the waist to support clothing.
If you are wearing a belt to actually hold up your jeans we recommend tucking your shirt in to avoid a bulge in the front where the buckle is. If this is not a look you are comfortable with, throw on a longer open cardigan to give it a more layered and put together look.
If you are not a tucker we highly recommend purchasing an Invisible Belt. This should be a staple in every woman’s closet. This little gem of a belt looks a clear bra strap and lays nice and flat against your pants. You can wear a long fitted shirt right over it and you would never know it’s there. A lot of our customers love this belt because it stops your pants from gapping in the back too. Our only advice on this product is to read the directions carefully on how to adjust the belt.
As an Accessory: The belt is one of the core accessories in every woman’s closet and among being an extremely practical piece, there are also a lot of ways to make a basic belt not so basic.
A look we are loving this season is taking any of your favorite belts and throwing them on over an open cardigan sweater to cinch the waist for a figure flattering look. You can do this with an open vest too.
Put a belt on over long tunic; wear it slung low on your hips with a skinny jean or legging and a tall boot or heel.
As a Trend: Even an accessory as classic as a belt can end up on a trend list. This season we are seeing a ton of big, chunky, wide, waist belts.
To embrace this trend we suggest layering a wide belt over a soft and flowy dress. You can also try a chunky waist belt over a flowy blouse with a wide leg, high waisted jean.
Best bang for your buck: The Kim White 3 Way Belt. We love this belt because you can wear cinched high on your waist, slung low on your hips, or through your belt loops.
