Some designers understand the Recessionista’s situation. A girls gotta look good while on a budget. That’s where the ‘Trick’ (but you’d never know) comes into play. ’Trick’ would be a blouse under $100 that does the same job as a more expensive top. Tuck it or ‘fruck’ it (the front tuck) while keeping it under $100!! Those lucky ladies not on a budget should ‘Treat’ yourself to a Tucker or Parker blouse. I like to compare that to the neighbors who give out KING SIZE candy bars! Tucked or frucked; a blouse, no matter what the price is, is a must have in your closet. A blouse is so easy to style. Wear it with a pencil skirt for work or a wide leg and a belt for play. A printed or solid blouse is always the perfect ‘go to’ piece! Besides a KING SIZE candy bar I wouldn’t mind a Mary Louise Facetted Black Necklace being dropped in my pillowcase either – Trick or Treat!!!! Happy Halloween!!!!
 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……
