Willow Chic Boutique

Everybody needs a lil' Rebecca in their life...

Rebecca Taylor, that is!

We just got the most precious shipment of the season! Rebecca Taylor always outdoes herself, but especially this time. Every piece for this delivery was just absolutely gorgeous.

Feast your eyes...

 

 

Baldy

If you don't already know it, I have a little precious yorkie, Annabelle. She is really cool since she grew up with a 120lb chocolate Lab, Hansel (God rest his sweet soul).

Annabelle is great, although she does wake up very early! So we are on our early-morning walk (I am barely awake and look like a wreck) and I see a shadow and something above...I look up and to my amazement, I see a huge bald eagle moving in really close!! I freaked out because I thought he was so breath taking,  that he decided annabelle was to much work.

This is what I saw!!!!

How cool is that?? At the beach??

Being the over the top literal person that I am, I have to find out the meaning of our encounter! The Bald Eagle is the symbol of the United States....duhhh!! So I guess I am a day late for the Veterans Day. This is my thanks and great appreciation to our military.

Theory Defined.

Theory: A Fact.

If you are looking for a line that is a true classic with clean lines and a flawless fit along with a little flare, this is it. Some would describe it as a simple, basic line. However, it is anything but simple and basic. Although Theory has created the standard for the essentials in our wardrobes, they have also managed to seamlessly incorporate pieces with the most fabulous, unconventional but subtle details...

 

 
 

 

Stud Alert!

Studs spotted at Willow! We are loving these Linea Pelle Studded Bracelets and Cuffs, and so are all the celebrities...according to US Weekly anyway! We just got them in last week and they are flying out the door, perfect little stocking stuffer!

Single Studded Bracelet {$26}

Studded Cuff {$65}
 
 These little gems are a great way to add a little rock 'n' roll to a plain white tee, or add a little edge to that classic black dress we all have hanging in our closets. Mix the little ones with bangles you already have or wear the cuff to make a statement! Either way...who doesn't wanna walk around with a stud on their arm?!?!!

Hip to be hippie

 
I want this so badly I can't stand it...

This beauty is from Haute Hippie. It is both Cindy and my fav line of the moment. If we didn't live in the beautiful yet very casual beach town of Rosemary, our store would be stocked out with this line.  

 

 

Steppin out in Alys Beach

This past weekend was the now annual

'Noche de los Muertos'  Halloween Party at the Caliza Pool in Alys Beach. If you haven't ever been to the pool in Alys beach you need to make it happen. The first time you see it, you are utterly amazed.

So any chance we get, we scoot over to the pool, especially for a party. Well this party is easily becoming "the party" and from these colorful pics you can see why.
 

It was so much fun! Had to keep these pics PG-13, although there was a little bit of everything that showed up to party. I guess it is the one day of the year that all "fasion-do's and don'ts" are out the window!!

We love Alys, but will always come back to RMB!!

 

until next year....
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Flash Fashion

I am not a huge fan of Halloween; never have been. I am not sure why, maybe because I get to play dress up every day for other people?? Well apparently on "THE" party of 30A is the Halloween Party tomorrow night at Alys Beach. I decided to go, since ALL my friends are. AH....the dilemma....the costume...

I've decided to go as the Flashdance girl:

Although I plan on being a little more covered than this..and sorry to all you who thought of the famous "water" scene. Sadly enough, some of our Willow girls are too young to even know Flashdance....well go rent it or Netflix it....it's a classic! Set the standard for Dirty Dancing.

So I went to Walmart (it's been years and it was kinda fun), and in minutes found my outfit; part of which is made by Miley Cyrus!! Yep, you read it right!

Stay tuned for pics of all the Willow girls "get ups".
 

Feel Your Boobies...

Sometimes we are in such a hurry that it takes an outrageous bumper sticker or blog title to get our attention.  Big and small we gotta love them all!! Be good to your girls and give them a little attention for just a few seconds!!

Pretty Purple

 

 Obviously you have now seen that purple is one of the hot fall 2009 colors for fashion. Well today, or several days now, I am loving purple polish. This is what I had the girls done in last week.

Although I really like it in the direct sunlight, it looks the same as the old standby Lincoln Park After Dark if you are indoors. Here are some other shades I want to try next.

Aren't they pretty? Purple is such a great color. There is a shade of purple that looks great on every skin tone. If you don't love the darker raisin shades, try for the lighter lavender tones.

My next purple purchase...a handbag. In particular, I want this one ;)

Check out the latest cover of Cooking Light...yummy!It's a must-see in person.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Another Stylecon in Willow

Why is it so fun to live at the beach? Well, there are the obvious reasons...

And then, there are all the familiar and unfamiliar faces you get to meet. Because we are in a resort town, we have a new slue of people in every week. Yesterday Willow was crazy with customers like it was the 4th of July in October! So when this cute couple with the most precious baby came in, I didn't recognize who they were...until she approached me for help.

She is, Lee Kleinhelter, owner and designer of Pieces in Atlanta.

If you do not know this store or her work you need to. She is fabulous!
 Below is just one of her homes she has done and featured in a magazine. She told me they no longer live there and are in a high-rise condo; I bet it is amazing.  

It is always so nice to meet someone who you admire for their talent and business savvy, and then to

find out they are as lovely in person as you hope they will be.

Wanna know what she found at Willow??

 

Someone asked me the other day what my favorite thing about owning my own business is. Of course setting your own schedule is the best, but a close second is all of the wonderful people I get to meet on a daily basis. I have made so many friends that I know will remain lifelong. Truly a blessing in my life to which I am thankful for every day!!

Happy Weekend...(celia) RTR!
