Is Boho Chic Your Style? What Does It Mean?
Boho-chic is a style that draws on various bohemian or "hippie" influences. She'll wear maxi shirts with t-shirts, maybe a jean jacket. Her wardrobe will include ankle boots and gladiator sandals, too! She knows how to accessorize with scarves, earrings, bangles, headbands and the perfect bag.

Classic Style - Timeless and Basic
It’s actually pretty easy to create an awesome, classic style. It provides the building blocks of a well-rounded wardrobe.
Included are some investment pieces but that is o.k. because they’re classics that you’ll have year years – maybe even decades!
What you need: A basic black dress; a simple cardigan or two, a white shirt, a variety of simple v-neck t-shirts, a basic black blazer, khaki pants, black dress pants, dark wash boot cut jeans, lighter wash skinny jeans, a variety of scarves, trench and pea coats, ballet flats, black pumps, and knee high boots.

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.

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 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!

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!
