Edgy Chic Your Style?

What does it mean, anyhow? She loves black. She is into faux leather leggings and skinny jeans. She loves ankle boots with everything! Her jewelry is trendy and different. Her lipstick and nail polish make a statement. Think Rihanna - and you're there!

Fit and Flare Dresses - Step Back in Time!

The sleek, slimming fit of a FIT & FLARE dress is a great look, don't you think? This style dress works perfectly with a great pair of sandals, wedges, or even ballet flats! Many of the current fit and flare styles come with a belt which can be easily changed for a completely different look with another color. Imagine a red patent leather belt with red shoes. Why is this so popular? It's the way the shape of the dress hangs on the body! It's just so flattering....a timeless look, reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960s. Perfectly suitable for casual events and work, yet equally perfect for a night out or guest of wedding outfit! Julie looks fantastic, doesn't she?

Willow Tree Welcomes cinda b

Cinda b is a new brand for Willow Tree. We love the story behind the brand and the person! Cinda b partnered with one of the most experienced sewing companies in the United States after outgrowing her home space in Atlanta. She moved the cinda b offices and facilities to Fort Wayne, Indiana, taking over the abandoned Vera Bradley facility. (VB moved their production to China leaving behind many skilled workers and an empty factory). Now thousands of cinda bs are made each week by the experienced and skilled professionals that made Vera Bradley for years! Cinda still works and lives in Atlanta, but travels back and forth to her Fort Wayne facility regularly and often. Each and every cinda b bag is still designed with love and care personally by Cinda herself.

Dansko = Good Foot Health

Many Dansko collections carry the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. The APMA is the leading professional organization representing the nation’s podiatrists. The Seal of Acceptance is used to recognize footwear, hosiery and other foot related products that promote good foot health. This independent certification confirms that Dansko delivers shoes with the wearer’s comfort and long-term well-being in mind.

These shoes are so popular with anyone that spends hours each day on their feet. Hair dressers, retailers, restaurant personnel, medical staff, nurses, surgeons, etc. Willow Tree is the only retailer in the area that carries them, too! And, if we don't have the style or size you have in mind, we CAN and WILL get it for you! Come test walk a pair today.

Who Wears Dansko? Here's a Letter from One Fan

I am a school teacher and as a result I am on my feet for hours every day. Dansko shoes are the only footwear that keep me going all day. It is such a welcome end to the day when my feet don't hurt! Thank you for making the only shoes I want to wear. MEAGAN D., CHARLOTTE, NC This is a REAL testimonial -- but we've got lots of those inside the store! Janelle, Julie, Jude, Heidi, Arlene....the list goes on and on. We all wear the Dansko shoes. We all would be lost without them. There are many days that we are on our feet for 10+ hours so we rely on this great brand to keep our feet happy! Come in and chat with us about them!

The Dansko Story

More than twenty years ago wife and husband team, Mandy Cabot and Peter Kjellerup, discovered their first product in a tiny store in Europe. They realized that a simple pair of clogs would not only change their lives, but that of everyone who might wear them. So, believing that when you have something great you share it, they gave pairs to friends. Then their friends told their friends. And just like that, a comfort legend was born! Today, their 100% employee owned company based in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, offers a complete line of footwear - heels, boots, sandals, wedges, flats and many, many types of clogs. Every pair is infused with legendary Dansko all-day comfort and support.

Willow Tree is happy to be able to provide such high quality and healthy footwear for our customers. If you've not worn them before, it's time to give them a try!

Lisette is EVERYWHERE! Style and Essence Magazines, too!

Did you know that Willow Tree was the first boutique in the United States to carry this line? Our customers have been fans of the "Flaterie Fit" and the "Magical Prada Pants" for years already! We knew long before Kathie Lee, Hoda, Oprah or Taylor Swift! The pants are amazing. These pants are the brainchild of a Canadian couple, Lisette Limoge and her husband, Neil Small. They're pull-ons with no buttons or zippers...but they are NOT "old lady pants". The fabric and a fit flattens and flatters, slims the abs, contours the hips and shapes the butt. No neef for Spanx under these fabulous pants because they shape you just fine! They have the weight and feel and look of slacks but fit like a glove. They fit and feel as though they've been tailored perfectly for you....but they're straight off the rack.

Lisette - as Seen in Marie Claire - AND at Willow Tree

As Seen In Marie Claire Magazine & at Willow Tree in Wyandotte, Lisette L Pants are the only pant with "Flaterie Fit".

Whether you are running to the market, or running a company, you deserve to look and feel your best. The fit and feel of Lisette L is so good, you'll want a closet full. Kathie Lee discovered Lisette L in a Florida boutique, and she and Hoda have been raving about Lisette L on The Today Show ever since, enthusiastically sharing with the audience, "they fit like a dream!" Now they're Oprah's "go to" pant, too! Never has there been a product so easy to slip on that delivers such gorgeous results. Lisette L pants address the body issues that most women struggle with. They slim the lower abdomen, contour the hips and shape the behind without the feeling of being bound in tight. Lisette L pants hold you close but they let you breathe, with comfort and mobility in incredibly soft stretchy fabric. Women love throwing them on like a favorite pair of leggings. The secret, their special rayon, nylon and spandex stretch fabric and uniquely constructed waistband. They are affectionately called "Magical Prada Pants". Come in and we'll tell you why! We're here for your convenience EVERY DAY!

Lisette L Pants: Oprah's Favorite and a Willow Tree Customer Favorite

Talk about a ringing endorsement. When one of the most famous people on the planet wears a pant - not once but several times, you've know you've got a home run. Looking chic and sporty, Oprah Winfrey graced two covers (October 2013 and March 2014) as well as several inside pages of O, The Oprah Magazine, rockin' pants by Lisette L. Lisette L has become a media darling with top fashion magazine editor's picks in Good Housekeeping, More, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar and Glamour. The pants hit the big time when NBC's The Today Show co-hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hota Kotb held a pair up saying that the pants "fit like a dream." "Well, now that Taylor Swift is said to love the pants, they're serving many generations from mothers to daughters and granddaughters. The tummy control waistline is a hit as it doesn't cut off your waist when you sit down. The pants wash and pack well, too," The pants, which go up to size 16, come in numerous styles (capri, boot cuts, skinnies, flairs and straight), colors and prints, including polka dots, gingham, medallions and leopard. You MUST come in and try on a pair!

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!

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!

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?

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.
