‘Rock’ My World | Sonya Renée Jewelry

Screaming extreme feminism, Sonya Renée is a girls best friend!  Loving jewelry is in a woman’s DNA.  They effect our mental state and will take our mood swing from 0-10 in seconds.

Sonya Renée jewelry was created in 2002 by Gina Renée & pal Desiree Sonya who combined their middle names to form the entity, Sonya Renée L.L.C.

After seeing the jewelry worn by stars like Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in romantic movies, people had to follow in their footsteps.  Women + Jewels = Sexy!  Pair these two together and we’re talking FIREWORKS!

Whatever outfit you have on….Don’t leave home without your jewels!

Who doesn’t like to play dress up?  I think people put jewelry on the back burner when it comes to the final touches of an outfit.  If you are looking to pull your outfit off with a bang, jewels are a must.

Men – Baffle me with bull or dazzle me with jewelry?  I know the answer to that.  Do you?  Who doesn’t want their significant other screaming ‘Rock’ My World.

‘Thursday Friday’ Kind of Love

Sunday Kind of Love is one of my all time favorite songs, and now Willow St. Boutique brings in a Thursday Friday kind of love.

Etta James is my number one inspiration/role model.  Strong, soulful, bold and always making a statement with her raspy words and edgy style.  She is known for her powerful pipes, suggestive stage antics, sassy attitude and sultry personality.  If you look back her fashion sense was equally as intense.  This vintage vixen wasn’t afraid to take risks vocally or when it came to her particular Hoochie Coochie wardrobe.  Ms. James had a cool about her that moves me in more ways then one – Rocking Me Baby!  Her bluesy lyrics scream confident, sex and simply makes you feel like a W.O.M.A.N who is self-assured!  The plunging necklines, form fitting dresses – showing off sexy curves, and lots and lots of sparkling bling bling motivates me to always step outside of the box.

Talking about being bold and making a statement, stepping outside of the box -  brings me right into… who is ‘Thursday Friday’?  They are turning the handbag industry inside out with their “anti spend all your money on a designer bag” trend.   You can spend thousands of dollars on a Balenciaga bag OR spend $35 on this new, reusable tote with an image of the fabulous Balenciaga bag screen printed on it!  Being a frugal fashionista myself I know my bank account can’t fund a Hermes bag, but this little number sure comes close for a fraction of the price.

Ooh Poo Pah Doo, A 3 MONTH WAITING LIST?!?!  Ladies don’t get me wrong if I had $10,000 for the real deal I would love a Balenciaga, Hermes or a Birkin bag, but I need to keep myself on a reality check.  I find I’m carrying my contemporary bag with an extra reusable tote bag plus a laptop bag – Ahhhhhhh simply TOO. MANY. BAGS!!  Now I can have an image of a saucy leather couture bag screen printed onto a functional $35 tote all in one!  When I go to the beach and to the grocery store I need something equally as fashionable.  Who wouldn’t want to take their gym bag up a notch!

The press and celebs are running wild with this fresh off the market, screen printed tote.  Leave it to Lezli owner and buyer of Willow St. Inc. to quickly scoop up these hot ticket items that are in such high demand.  These bags are quite the conversation piece.  With a prior 3 month waiting list this shipment isn’t expected to last very long.  Come on in and get your ‘anti-status symbol tote’ before they burst out the door!

Once again Willow St. delivers – Trust In Me!

Is it 5:00 yet?

Bailey 44 is my ‘after dinner’ and everything in between collection.  Great and relevant to wear for business casual, then out for an after dinner drink.  I’ll take sexy, modern with an interesting twist and whip cream on top please.  Bailey 44 has that little bit of kick that will give you the edge that a Baileys Irish Cream will ultimately take off – best of both worlds.

Simple and Sexy?  Keep it modern but show off some skin with Bailey 44′s sultry neckline.

Steamy and stripey? Great for work under a blazer and hot with a black mini and booties for play.

Streamers and confetti are right around the corner!! New Year’s? The Sugar Baby O’Mine Skirt

WOWZA!!! Look better than the bride with the Alien Nation Dress.

Let your date use his imagination.  Have HIS clock ticking with this Time Machine Top.  I bet he will offer to buy you another round.

Who is your favorite designer of the season?

Cheers!

The Maxi Movement


 

Cotton dresses, summer dresses, maxi dresses who cares- just go with it!! It’s a hot look but keeps you cool all at the same time.  You can keep it simple or snazz it up with all kinds of accessories – waist belts, long necklaces, chunky bracelets, tall wedges or bejeweled thongs(think jewelry for your feet).

Designers like Parker, Bailey 44, Velvet by Graham & Spencer and Trina Turk are all on board this maxi dress movement. Keeping it easy, chic and in summer mode.

What’s your street style? I’ll take a solid grey, cotton maxi with a fabric vintage belt and platform heel – ‘WORK IT OUT’ day or night!  This look is enviously comfortable. There is something so alluring about being able to throw on a long summer dress that fees like you’re wearing your favorite pair of yoga pants.  Talk about a girls best friend.

Buy the look: MAXI Parker Dress, $288. OMBRE HAT Michael Stars, $58. NECKLACE Lionette Tulum, $182 & Lionette Senegal, $207. BRACELETS Dogeared Goddess, $72. HANDBAG Big Buddha Sara Crossbody, $80.

What’s My Damage

Who’s ready for LC’s (that’s me) retail therapy session?

Shopping can be practical.  It doesn’t always have to be justified with ‘I worked really hard this week’ or ‘I haven’t bought myself something in awhile’.  As long as the rent is being paid, life is too short to be counting penny’s, especially when it comes to clothing and accessories.  Being a young, single woman in my 20′s, my motto is how you look on the outside reflects how you feel on the inside (did I get that backwards?).  Okay, so, maybe I do do a little justifying of purchases too, but that all comes with the territory of being a W.O.M.A.N. (Sing it Etta).

Shopping is like making a cocktail.  Mix one part ‘splurge’ with two parts ‘basics’.  And, if you want to get tipsy (potentially dance on the bar) add in an extra shot of ‘accessories’.

First order of business- Splurge: Toss that budget right out the window (in this case) and splurge.  January 1st is right around the corner, start a clothing allowance, and make a new years resolution then.  You don’t have to ‘make payments’ on splurging or feel like you just burned the biggest hole that your pocket has ever felt.  I’ll meet you halfway, we won’t go cashmere and we won’t go faux, but let’s hit the mid and do something sequins.  You don’t need ‘P Diddy’ money to splurge, it can just be something memorable, something out of the ordinary.  My splurge this season was the smashing Parker Batwing Gold Sequins dress.  You won’t see a duplicate like it anywhere else.  It say’s ‘show stopper’ all over it.  A piece like that is worth the extra dinero in my ‘check’ book.  *Wink*

Second on the ‘don’t feel’ naughty list-Basics: Get all your basics and practical articles covered before each season.  Get yourself some basic tees, vees and a couple pairs of everyday denim.  You can never go wrong with Michael Stars basic crew neck tees, so easy cause they’re one size fits all.  I also love Splendid V-necks, I think the designers name says it all ‘Splendiddd’.  By the way,  the fabric content says ‘made with 100% body butter.  I also get a fresh pair of Citizen’s of  Humanity Kelly bootcut jeans in a light and dark wash.  Next to my PJ’s, the Kelly’s from COH are my go to pant.

Don’t ever let money and shopping get you stressed.  Let’s face the facts  you can’t have peanut butter without the jelly.  You need the green to shop.  It is what it is.  You gotta have basics and a girl needs to splurge.  Being a women is fabulous!

Twinkle Me Happy

Have your Santa saying Baby!

Sequins are taking over this season.  The 2010 Holidays don’t have to be stressful!  Embrace it, get a jump start today!  We have a special 2010 Holiday section just for you.  I’ll be darned if you don’t find your Holiday outfit in this category!  I love buying gifts for people and I like looking good while doing it too.  Sparkle mini’s are in our house, now get them in yours!  Why am I a fan of sequins? – minimal accessorizing.  The sparkle says enough.  Pair it with a simple solid on top, a basic pump and you are ready to dazzle the streets.  I have to give props to a few designers who really took sequins and ran with it, and in the right direction.

1.) Trina Turk Disco Ball Skirt (Shown Below)

2.) Parker Batwing Gold Sequin Dress

3.) Vince Metallic Dolman Sweater (My Favorite)

It is that time of year and there’s a lot to be done.  Before you start doing anything for the Holidays get something for yourself.  You deserve it.  We have another month of  24/7 Holiday tunes and bright, bright lights, so why not get a jump start on the real treats – sequins treats.  I look at it like this, one present for you, one for me.. One present for you, one for me.

Holiday shopping can be hard work, but not at willowst.com.  3 words – Holiday Gift Boutique!! We made shopping easy and tried to keep it Under $100.

Do yourself a favor and try on this Trina Turk Disco Ball skirt.  I know you don’t have this in your closet – go ahead and add some glitz.  Not only will you feel like a million bucks, but it will help start your season off with a twinkle!

Good Luck! Happy Holidays. Stand out and shine.
