Fall in my opinion is the best season of the year for many reasons; leaves falling, hot organic teas, Halloween, chunky sweaters and colored jeans. This Fall it’s all about being a gem. Some colors that immediately come to my mind are sapphire, ruby and jade. Every designer is running with a splash of color this season one way or another. Don’t be a window shopper and shy away thinking jewel toned denim is too funky or too youthful. You can style colored jeans to make a show stopping statement or tone them down for a sophisticated approach. To go glam -sport a metallic shoe and a halter top or keep it casual with a grey tunic and a riding boot. I think we can all say we wear too much black. I guarantee 90% of us are in a black hole when it comes to our existing Fall wardrobe. Go through your closet and get back to me, lemme know. Break out or into some gem tones for fall , there are no rules, anything goes. This fall be a gem (gem; 1. Valued for it’s beauty), shimmer, shine through your soul, pop some color and start your Fall fashion binge. Outfit styled: Joie Gareth Blouse, Velvet Beryl Vest, COH Angie Jean (more colors coming soon), Hammitt Los Angeles Montana Messenger Bag As the hot days of summer wind down, we at Willow St. are so lucky to get the early buzz on what is hot for fall by just opening the pile (and I do mean PILE) of boxes that we receive daily from our trusty UPS man John.
 Lucky!!! Oh!!! What do we have here??!!! Our new obsession….the Cascade drape front shearling jacket from Vince. I can’t even!!! We love this jacket so much it might just have to be a splurge for the season.  <3 I’m picturing it with my J Brand 811 skinny navy jeans and my new Ella Moss Brighton top. I might throw on a Chan Luu bracelet for good measure too! Or how about adding an edge and pairing it with a sexy dress from Bailey 44 with our favorite booties from Matt Bernson!!!! Does anyone else get this excited about fashion!!!!?? Love it! Check out our just in section for all the hot new items for the coming season….. We here at Willow St. all look to Lezli (aka ”the big b”) to find out what trends are coming for each new season, what styles look best on us and really everything about how to dress. She is the first one in the store to embrace the new trends every season, and to show us all how to wear them. That being said, we thought who better to help us do our first installment of Willow St. do’s and don’ts than the boss lady herself. Here we have our list of top do’s and don’ts to guide you from the dog days of summer into all the fabulous fashions of fall!
Fresh out the box – new cotton fringe Minnie Rose ponchos. Available in three colors: Oat, Hermes Orange and Blue Heron. Our customers go bananas over this light weight piece of heaven. Great for Summer and Fall. For now, pair it with a white tank and ankle length jeans to keep this boho inspired look modern. Look how adorable Caroline looks modeling our favorite color!! Have a little “Royal fever”?…well check out Duchess Kate Middleton wearing a similar style from Minnie Rose on E! News. The adorable ruffled shawl seen here will soon be on the racks at Willow St. as well so check it out in our pre-sale section soon.  The Duchess Wearing Minnie Rose Shawl! Inspired by the June issue of Italian Vogue and sexy celebs like Kim K. and J. Lo, we here at Willow St. started to think and talk about our favorite curvy customers and how they dress to best accentuate their coveted hourglass shapes. We came up with a few of our curvy dressing rules to live by and have compiled them here for all of you.  J. Lo 1. Buy clothes that fit…especially jeans – when your clothes fit it shows off your curves as opposed to adding bulk with extra fabric. Try a jean with a higher waist like the Hutton or Amber styles by Citizens of Humanity. These styles not only have a higher waist, but also feature a boot cut leg for a well proportioned look. 2. Show off your waist – whether you belt it or add a short cardigan, it is so flattering to a curvy girl to highlight the smallest
4. Heels, heels, heels – As obvious as this one seems, we thought high heels needed to be mentioned because we all agreed that it the easiest way to accentuate any woman’s shape curvy or otherwise. Heels not only lengthen the legs, but also add a certain confidence that makes us stand up just a little bit taller. Whether it is a wedge or platform, strappy or stiletto heels make any outfit better and any woman look sexier. 5. Accessories – A well placed scarf or long necklace can not only divert attention from problem areas, but can also change the look of an outfit completely. Try a beautiful scarf from Chan Luu with a simple white tank and a well fit pair of khakis from G1 to add some interest and maybe hide an area that you don’t want to show off. Happy summer dressing….hope this helps!
