Meet Me on Twelfth St!

Everytime we get a shipment from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent I am literally already counting down for our next one. Each piece is flawlessly put together, all the way from detail, color and fit,  making it so hard for us to even keep her stuff in our stores!!!

Did you know that Cynthia Vincent won the Silver Thimble award in 1988 while she studied at Otis Parsons School of Design?

She was also the head designer for Jane Ong and Co., Ltd. in London.

Cynthia launched Twelfth Street in 2003 during L.A. Fashion Week at the fall Mercedes Benz Show.

Thank you Cynthia for your impeccable talent and wonderful taste!

Here are a few of her old styles that made us fall in Love with Twelfth Street!

Trina Turk Swim 2012

Trina Turk = I couldn't be more happy about swimsuit season! Her bathing suits are so fabulous, fit amazingly and feel like heaven. Here are a couple of our new arrivals:

Just because you're in a bathing suit doesn't mean you can't accesorize! These Tom Ford sunglasses look so chic on the beach. The gold rims compliment the the gold buckle on the shoulder and the cuff ties everything together!

Trina Turk is great about making cover-ups to match her bathing suits! Don't forget to notice that to-die-for Tory Burch Bag. The side is a cut-out TB pattern and then lined with a clear plastic lining - Perfect for the beach!

Another great cover-up to throw on with any bathing suit!

This is my favorite print! We have it in a strapless style and a one-piece style as well and I want all 3 of them : ) By the way, Tory Burch is a genius even when it comes to sunglasses!

 

RT does shoes???

Rebecca Taylor does shoes! As you all know, Rebecca Taylor has been a Willow favorite from day 1. Femine, easy-breezy, sexy, romantic and chic...we all have lots of RT in our closets. 

Well like other friends in the biz like Tibi, Vince, Joie and of course Tory Burch, Rebecca Taylor is brancing out this spring with a full shoe line.
