Street Peep Achilleas

This is Achilleas Boutis! We don't know much about him except that he's 5-years old (at least he was in this shot taken in October), he dresses himself, and with a name like Achilleas Boutis and a face like that he's destined for the runways of New York.

Street Peep Kristin

 

 

 

Anyone who knows Kristin is in the know about her wit, beauty, generosity and all around positive vibe. We love it when she walks in the door at Wildflower. She would truly give you the shirt off her back, even this super cute one, if you were in need. XOXO to you sweet Kristin.

Street Peep Keira

 

Keira is a Wildflower old-timer. She definitely doesn't look like it but she's an old soul and she's been one of our favorite customers since way back in her high school days dancing at NCSA. Now she's blowing us away with her smarts at Swarthmore College, and, even more impressive, she spends her weekends dancing the Argentine Tango. See we told you...an old soul and a cool chicka!

Loving Our Neighbors

Love and inspiration was flowing this past Saturday at downtown's Centenary United Methodist Church. Their annual fund raising fashion show brought together some amazing high school students and two locally owned clothing boutiques to build support for "Love Thy Neighbor".

It's always a whirlwind to put on a fashion show. Imagine thirteen girls descending on Wildflower to get fitted and styled. In between soccer, track and homework they all found time last week to stop by and pick out their favorite things with the help of the show's coordinator, Caroline Morgan. Because of everyone's efforts, the show turned out to be a big success. With the girls all decked out in their Wildflower finds and the boys in styles from Cahill Swain, enough was raised to support Centenary's youth lead ministry, "Love Thy Neighbor", which provides monthly outreach to Winston-Salem's downtown homeless population.

Inspired by a Youth Group visit to Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco, "Love Thy Neighbor" provides a meal, some type of activity (i.e. Bingo), and a free medical clinic once per month. This fashion show is their only source of funding so we were honored to be asked to help out. Not only was it a fun and inspiring fashion moment but even more importantly it brought together and supports all walks of Winston-Salem life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank You Dries

We're off to Market tomorrow so an online peek at the Spring '13 RTW shows was a must. The big find of the evening (after scrolling through hundreds of images for inspiration) was Dries Van Noten's collection!!! It makes our heart go pitter-patter. Here are a few favorites but Google the rest of the show. It's ultra cool and actually makes the pointy-toed shoes that EVERYONE is showing look tempting.
