We Wish You a Warm and Wonderful Holiday!

Vintage Inspired Jewelry

Shelley Cooper is a jewelry artist and designer with a love of antique jewelry. Her designs are derived from a life-long study of antique and vintage jewelry and radiate the authenticity and spirit of many eras of fashion history. The pieces are just unbelievable. They're feminine and romantic and available at Willow Tree. They make perfect gifts. They are ideal for brides. They add so much to any outfit.

Hand Loomed

Susan Carli has specific ideas on incorporating different fibers and textures into her weaving. She works with shiny ribbons and metallic yarns in many colors and textures. She uses unique combinations of various fibers, both domestic and imported, including silk, cotton, rayon, metallics and various novelty yarns, creating her own unique line of handwovens. Each and every scarf, shawl, or tassle scarf is done by 100% by Susan by hand. She chooses the yarns - usually consisting of 20-30 different types of yarn, threads the loom, weaves the fabric, cuts and sews the garment, hand finishes each piece, and even packs and ships the final product herself. This means that her work is not mass produced, not seen at all major craft shows nor found in every store. It also guarantees that each of her weavings is a unique piece of wearable art. People have tried to copy her design -- but there is only ONE Susan Carli...and we've got it at Willow Tree!

Yes Mam'

Mam' Design Earrings Are An Incredibly Lightweight Unique and Comfortable Design. They're made in the USA and are available in both pierced and clip styles. So colorful and fun! They're statement pieces, to be sure. You can completely dress up your look by putting on a pair of Mam' earrings and adding some red liptstick! The holiday styles are wonderful - and we've got them at Willow Tree.

Radiant Orchid - Pantone's 2014 Color of the Year

Pantone just declared 2014's new "It" color. Radiant Orchid is what it's called - and it's a pinky-purple shade. As always, once the pick is announced, it generally influences the color palette of everything from paint and interior design to fashion and beauty.

We've even noticed that 2014's color was already making appearances in 2013. We saw hints on the runways in September. Watch for Radiant Orchid and let us know what you think!

What Should You Wear to Your Holiday Party

For holiday parties, consider something shiny, or glitzy or sparkly or beaded or velvet. Start with black. Add a sparkly shoe, a red bag. Accessorize with some dazzling and festive earrings or bangles. Have fun, relax, don't take yourself too seriously, and celebrate. A word of caution, though; keep your outfit appropriate, making sure to avoid major cleavage or see-through tops. Add red lipstick and nails...and you're perfect for your holiday gathering.

Unique Hostess Gift Ideas

Bored with bringing a bottle of wine or box of chocolates as a hostess gift? Well, think about something a little more unique. Willow Tree has some nifty ideas for you to consider.

Who wouldn't love a great little note pad and charm pen (both from Brighton)? They're great items to keep in her handbag, vehicle, at her bedside or on her desk.

Burn-Out Velvet Is Still Hot!

From vintage styles to more contemporary looks, velvet burnout in a mosaic of colors never goes out of style. It's the perfect uniform for your holiday gathering or any social setting!

Faux Leather and Designer Inspired Denim -- the PERFECT Ensemble

Here is a shot from the recent Dress Up Wine Down Charity Gala. The three models you see here on the "catwalk" are a physician, an accountant and a restaurant server. It was the perfect look for each of them. Add a scarf and you've got a great look. And, talk about great gifts? It's the perfect time to think about that, too! It's that time of year again -- and Willow Tree is here to help make your shopping experience easy and pleasant!

Tired of that Same Old Look? Want Something New?

Are you looking for an alternative to that same old sweater or coat? Looking for something a little more unique, fun, funky and trendy? Well, think about a poncho or a cape. They're a super-trendy option this season! They look perfect with skinny jeans or pants, but also work with skirts and dresses. So many styles to choose from -- feminine, classic, bohemian. You're sure to find one that suits you perfectly. If you're ready to hang up the peacoat and put away the cardigan for a while, come on in to Willow Tree to check out our fabulous ponchos, capes, wraps and ruanas.

Get Organized!

Do you have a great, trendy shoulder bag that you never use because everything gets lost inside? Do you have a gorgeous handbag with no pockets, just one, big, empty cavernous compartment that makes in impossible to use? Are you a fashionista like Julie that likes to change handbags all the time -- but gets frustrated because it's such an ordeal to transfer stuff from one bag to another? Are there days that you don't want to carry your purse with you - but need to keep your must have items with you in your briefcase? Well, don't fret! We have the perfect solution for all of these issues! We've got the best purse organizer on the market at Willow Tree. It's been number 1 in it's category for years!

Wrap Bracelets -- YES, a Huge Trend!

They're adorable, trendy, modern, stackable and fun! Made with semi-precious stones and crystals. They are one of the biggest trends in bracelets today. They're very long and wrap around the wrist three or four times. A little more casual, they're perfect to toss on when you're wearing your jeans and a Tee.

To Infininty!

Scarves are an obsession for so many of us these days. They're fashion pieces. They keep you warm. They're worn inside and out! Face it, they're the hottest trend in neck wear.....and Willow Tree has the best of 'em. You can never have too many scarves -- and they make an awesome gift, so come on in and check out our selection!

Snoozies?

What are they? I guess a good place to start is explaining what they're not. Well, they're not socks and they're not slippers but a sort of crossover between the two. What they are is a cure for cold feet. Statistics say that 98% of women suffer from cold feet due to the way their bodies react to colder temperatures, channeling heat away from their fingers and toes. Well these nifty little covers put an end to freezing feet! They're easy to clean because they're machine washable, just like socks. They're durable and stand up to repeated washings and still looks great. They're comfortable, made of soft Sherpa fleece on the inside for a snug, cozy fit. They're stylish and cute with a brushed fleece exterior that's available in fun-to-wear colors and patterns. Their safe non-skid sole means no slipping on wood floors or tile. Something else they are is "available at Willow Tree" right now. They are the perfect gift for yourself or ANYONE on your list. Affordable. Perfect for teenagers to great-grandmas.

Is That Leather? It Sure LOOKS Like It!

Leather and Pleather, faux leather or vegan leather… It can be sporty, edgy, or elegant. You’ll see all kinds of touches of leather and faux leather in the fashions this fall. You’ll see it on tops, sweaters, skirts, leggings and pants. Subtle or not, we'll have some great options for you this season!

The Peplum. Either You Love it or You Hate it!

The peplum is still around! Don’t bail on it yet, folks. Give it a chance. It's the trend that won't die, so try to hop on the bandwagon! It is important to find the right peplum for you. Where it's placed can determine just how good it looks on you, too. You’ll find them on skirts, tops and dresses. Keep your eyes open for the one that’s perfect for your shape. They can help define your waist or give the allusion of adding curves to a more boyish figure. What do you think? Do you or would you wear one?

It's Almost Time for Coats!

Willow Tree has always been famous for their unique selection of great coats. Whether you prefer pretty pastels, warmer tones, or the amazing faux-furry coats that are so popular, great outwear is a must-have accessory for Fall. Here you see two of our early arrivals; one a faux leather and the other a great new faux fur. We already know that they're a HIT. Don't you love them?

Menswear Fabrics? You Bet!

Menswear fabrics lend a chic and professional touch to your outfits. It’s time to embrace some classic prints! That’s right, say hello to houndstooth for fall! It’s fantastic and you’re going to see it in all kinds of applications. Keep in mind that houndstooth goes with everything! It’s really just another neutral.

Use Your "Grey Matter" This Fall!

Not everything is black or white, that's for sure. Fall's runways were filled with many colors “in-between”. Look for lots of neutrals…from charcoal to slate to granite to pewter. Grey is the NEW neutral!

Keep Walkin' on the Wild Side!

Ladies – don’t put away your leopard print just yet. That’s right -- you read it correctly. One of Fall 2013's hottest trends is probably already in your closet! We do suggest that you play with different colors of leopard this season, though. Classic brown and black will always be in style, but now many designers are adding a touch of fun and color, too! We've seen it on the runways -- which means YOU'LL see it at the Willow Tree!

Pantone 2013 Color of the Season

Pantone color for the season (drum roll please) is Emerald Green! That’s right, folks, Pantone chose the shade as its top color for 2013 so it's no surprise that it was seen all over the fall 2013 runways - and in the collections for Fall. Don’t ignore how great the color looks with other jewel tones like garnet, amethyst, or sapphire. We do suggest that you look for different ways to incorporate the shade into your wardrobe. Add a handbag or heels in a vibrant Emerald. Just fabulous.

Want Some Fall 2013 Fashion Trend Information? The First is "Pile on the Layers"!

Sure, we just finished up Street Fair and have and entire month before the kids head back to school. BUT, it's not to early to start paying attention to what we have in store for you for FALL! One trend we've seen is that many of the designers are doing a lot with layering. It’s such an easy way to add interest to your outfit. Mix textures with your pants, skirts, and tops. Pair a sheer tunic or blouse over faux leather leggings. This combination allows you to layer without looking bulky. Looks fantastic, too!

Are You Ready for Some Red?

Fire engine, deep port and candied apple red bring an expressive and dramatic look to the season. Red is the color of energy, strength, determination, power, passion, desire, love and confidence. Are you ready for it?

Watch For These Rich Fall Colors

Burgundy, Magenta, Plum. Don't you just love them all?

Plum, Burgundy and Purple Pour Through The Collections

The Fall 2013 Runway Shows were filled with deep violet, burgundy, plum, purple, oxblood and magenta - so you know that these wonderfully rich colors will make it to the designers collections that you'll see at Willow Tree this Fall. Such a great palette, don't you think?

Got the Blues? You Will This Fall!

We were excited to see so many great shades of blue in the market. Watch for deeply saturated blues cascading through the Fall collections.

Fall Color Palette - What Are You Expecting?

Black is back and is the star of today's collections. Black and White, the never-ending classic is also hot. But designers have not ignored color. Look for multi-shades of emerald which continues to be popular. The Fall 2013 Color Palette is fantastic.

Playing it Safe? Yes They Are!

For Fall 2013, designers have decided to play it safe. That's according to Fashion And Beyond (FAB) our Buying Office in New York City. I'll bet you didn't know we had consultants, did you? Anyhow, according to FAB, designers are moving forward with some styles that have done well in the past. That means you'll have a second chance to get that favorite item! BUT, you'll be able to get new fabrics and patterns. They've tweaked their "old faithful" items with interesting and novel details to intrigue and amaze you.
