Willow Chic Boutique

Look out Vogue

I know it has been months since we have blogged about our online store, but trust me, LOTS of work has being going on behind the scenes (thanks to Hillman Ball).  We are getting closer and closer to our launch date. A few days ago, we had a super duper photo shoot in Rosemary Beach by one of our favorite photographers, Tommy Crow. 

Here is a little taste of attempt at being models!!! 

our on set security guard..he slept through most of it!

lots of loot on set to choose from...and wine and a little tequila for the nerves!!

By the way, if you haven't been by Tommy's studio in Rosemary, it's amazing. We are two lucky girls to have Tommy shoot us for our site.  I got to see the proofs today and he must have some kind of camera...they look fabulous. Can't wait to show all of you!!!! 

We also have to give a big thanks to Mindy and Shannon at Rolland's Salon in Seaside for our big hair and make-up!

 

 

 

BCBG captures color in 2012

Spring 2012 fashion is full of vividly bright colors. Unlike in recent years past when neutrals, whites and greys were the introduction to Spring season, you're sure to know that Spring 2012 has sprung. BCBG has hit this spring's color palette dead on. 

I love this description of BCBG Spring 2012 from Jezebel Magazine

... Fresh, contemporary, bold, but decidedly feminine, there are no nipped-in waists or tight jeggings here. Everything's breezy and body-skimming, with the bare minimum of structure. Gonna be dancing all night in Rio? Or strolling all day in a town on the coast of Croatia? You'll find something to wear right here.

Sounds like something I want to be wearing! Check out BCBG for spring; you won't be disappointed. 

my new boyfriend/husband shirt

While shopping for Kav's Christmas (probably on Christmas Eve) I grabbed a new shirt for myself (opps). I don't know about you other boutique store owners, but I LOATHE shopping. So it is rare for me to shop, outside of willow, and even more rare if it is for myself.

So here is my new shirt:

and I am OBSESSED with it. It came from good ole J.Crew. Think they also had a dark version like this:

but I went with the first option. It's soft and kinda worn and I got it a couple of sizes too big. I have almost worn the buttons off of it adready.  Obviously easy to just throw on with jeans and shorts, but here are a few different ways I have worn it:

under this with these jeans:

under a stripe sweater with a black blazer and some leather leggings and heels

with my wide-leg Hudson's tucked in and big brown leather belt. Yep all denim, but since they were very different shades (super light + super dark) and I broke them up with a big chunky belt and lots of gold bracelets, it looked cool.

(does that model on right look like a young kelly wearstler???)

and I can't wait to wear it with my Kenny shorts or these Ikat skinnies coming out this Spring. It is so simple chic with shorts, so go grab one, you won't regret it!

please excuse my misspelling...spell-check isn't workin
