Have I gottttt affordable newsssss for you!!!!!!!  Savvy high-meets-low shopping =  mixing drastic price points to create a fashionable outfit.  The industry is referring to this as ‘The Extreme cross-shopper’.  Would you take your Prada with a side of G1?  Certainly makes creating a look more doable.  Splurge on the shoe or the bag, and save on the short or tee.  Are you a cross-shopper?  MasterCard seems to think so.

Vacationing in Nantucket, heading to the golf course or visiting your child at college?  ‘G’1 hits the spot!

We’re all a slave to fashion in some shape or form.  With that being said let’s focus on the task at hand – Color My World But Stay In The Lines.

G1 fits right into the ‘real people’ category – short, tall, thin, curvy..  Wearing color isn’t only intended for the slim, long-limbed women but for curvy as well.  G1 makes a few different styled shorts that look great on just about any’body’.

The Walking Short is clean, a bit longer with an optional roll cuff.  I’m sold on the faded orange and soft blue toned palettes G1 designed for this delivery.

She’s got Legs – I love the new, never featured in Willow Street, (drum roll please)..  the 3779 Short Short.  Feels like butter!  Hey Shortie, do your kids constantly grime and slime on you?  Don’t fret, these bundles of joy are all machine washable.  Can I get an Amen and some Downy!?

Ahhhhh the Classic Long Short or as you may know them as the 371 short.  Perfect for golfing!!

Tip of the day: Yes G1 is comfy/casual/affordable, but just because you’re comfortable doesn’t mean you can shy on the accessories.  Always, ALWAYS add a belt (maybe that’s your splurge) and a necklace…

Remember fashion represents freedom.  Run wild and free, maybe this time outside of the lines..

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.

Take those ‘shades off ‘ kool kats?= go bright, go bold, go heavy, go.. all.. the.. way!  Many couture and contemporary designers are going wild with neons, one being Paige Premium Denim.  Yes, it’s ok for all ages to embrace this trend!  All runways, magazines, celebs, bloggers are all saying the same thing.. IT IS NOT AN AGE THING!

So if you are a ‘sunglasses on’ type of gal – I dig that you don’t want to be ‘blinded by the bright’.  Let our stylist teach you how to stay in trend without over doing it.  Challenge us to find the perfect match to suit your personal preference. Your clothes don’t have to scream BING – BANG – BOOM, but it is our job to have you looking, ‘in the now’, & market ready!!  Try incorporating this look with some pastels/neutrals to shift the focus off the neon, wear an all black outfit with a neon undershirt peeking out,  go all white and rock a neon clutch… and the band goes marching on.  If you are not on board AT ALL, please promise me you’ll paint your nails and toes a shade of neon.

SHOP THE LOOK: Paige Jimmy Jimmy Short |  Velvet Tippi Top |  Linea Pelle Maya Skinny Belt |  Chan Luu Fresh Water Pearl Wrap |  Lalu 3 Animal Scarf

Fashion is fierce this spring as safari inspired garments travel down the runway. Designers like Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler, and Donna Karen are just a few who showed African influenced pieces at the Spring 2012 fashion shows. Willow St. is on the prowl to make sure this spring trend doesn’t trek past you. 

Incorporate safari sass into your style with Michael Stars pieces which illuminate tribal prints, rustic colors, and effortless comfort. The Michael Stars maxi skirt pairs perfectly with matching Michael Stars Dolman top. For a more versatile look, slip into Michael Stars shine tank. The natural brown tone compliments both maxi skirt and the rural landscapes you’ll be voyaging.

Of course, every good explorer knows it’s a necessity to dress in layers. The J. Brand denim jacket adds a layer of practically and style to your African traveler look. Accessorize with the Bliss and Love autumn necklace. This brushed gold elephant pendant is sure to bring good luck and a hint of African charm.

As you hike around in your new safari inspired look, be sure to do so in a pair of Cocobelle aztec sandals. The gladiator style encompasses a fearless persona while intricate beadwork inspires passion – two characteristics to every great explorer.

Take with you a strong sense of fearlessness and passion when styling your next outfit or planning your next voyage. It’s when we travel with fears behind us and passion driving us that we not only arrive at our destination but can gracefully enjoy the journey. Trek ahead Miss. Indiana Jones. Life is one great adventure and you’ve got the duds to tour it stylishly.
