Why Are Maxi Dresses So Popular Again?

Let's begin with the fact that they're feminine and romantic.

The maxi dress seems to making a comback along with peace signs and tie dye! (It IS the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock, afterall.)

So, what should you look for in a maxi? Women typically think that daytime dresses should be "sun friendly" and short in length, but we're here to tell you that a maxi dress can also work! Maxi dresses work best with wedge heels, thong sandals or flip flops. Large graphic prints or abstract patterns makes the dress look glamorous and solid black can look elegant.

A key rule to pulling this off during the day is to find a dress with an empire waist or halter style (like the one you see here.

If you're not quite comfortable wearing a maxi during the day yet, leave it for those summer evening affairs.

Willow Tree has a great selection of this hot little trend...and the only way to decide if the maxi dress works for you is to try one on yourself! Beat the rush -- get in before Sidewalk Sale & Street Fair!

Today the Charm Bracelet Is Its Own Jewelry Category

And we carry THREE lines!

Trollbeads is THE original interchangeable bead line. The company, founded in 1976, is the first of its kind. In 2001, the first glass bead was introduced and Trollbeads remains the only line to use semi-precious stones and pearls. Here you see the "Friendship" bracelet in beautiful greens & golds. The hundreds of beads and colors provide endless options!

Pilgrim is another great charm line. The Pilgrim charms attach with a lobster clasp, so are very versatile. Wear one or more on a bracelet. Wear a single charm on a necklace. They're amazing. The focus or "theme" of their current collection is having courage to be outstanding and be faithful to what you stand for. We find that Pilgrim jewelry adds that little extra touch, which makes you stand out. They just introduced a new line of gorgeous birthstone charms. Here you see "November".

We also carry the ever-popular Brighton line, which now also includes charms! The charms are whimsical, colorful, and sparkly with the trademark Brighton hearts seen throughout the collection! Everyone LOVES Brighton! The line includes something for everyone. In addition to the charms, we carry necklaces, earrings, bracelets, anklets - and more!
