Street Peep Debra

So Debra pulled out her winter stuff and found the PERFECT sweater coat (which she got from us a couple of years back) to go with her new XCVI top. The sweater coat is one of those pieces that "got away". You know, the one you wished you'd bought. The one you'll go searching for on eBay. The one you want to borrow and never return!

But seriously, Debra has inspired us to do two things before the Fall season is over: 1) go fishing through our own winter storage bins for that piece we'd forgotten about...AND 2) buy a Fall piece that we LOVE before they're all gone!

Thanks Debra!

Do We Have This Dress?!?

Another sighting of a Press Darling! OK, so the picture isn't that great (we grabbed it from a YouTube video), but we're pretty sure this is the Rojas dress we have at the store. Mollie, from So You Think You Can Dance, wore it on their "Meet the Top 20" episode a couple of weeks back. Their costume department went to town with tutu feathers and patches, which make it look really crazy. Our version is actually really cute. What do you think? Is it the same dress?

Street Peep Nicole

Nicole stopped by on Saturday wearing her Tulle raincoat, which was totally appropriate considering our crazy weather. We love her long flowing skirt, especially in this Fall's biggest neutral color, gray. Nicole is a graduate student at North Carolina School of the Arts and just completed the sets for "Fences", a play by August Wilson, that we're planning to check out this weekend. Can't wait to see her work and her next outfit. Come back soon Nicole!

Quote, Beija-Flor Rocks!, Unquote

When jeans change someone's life it's worth blogging about, don't you think? Just like the Beauty Editor at People StyleWatch, our customers have been raving about our newest denim line, Beija-Flor (pronounced "beige-a- floor"). Across generations, lifestyles, occupations and body types, here's what a few have said:

When she took them on a long trip to London, Heather, from Ego Hour, was amazed that they really "don't stretch out". She wore them a ton and they kept their shape.

Because of the rise and contoured waist, Kim, owner of The Garage, says, "Winston-Salem no longer has to see my 'plumber's butt' when I change a keg or stock bottled waters. Plus they just feel like sweats."

Our very own Anne can't resist giving away all her cute jeans to her daughter but she said, "these I'm keeping for myself. I'll have them for years."

Cissy, who just turned 50 (happy birthday!) and loves her Beija-Flors, said "They form to my curvy body better than any jean I've ever owned. They're as comfortable as leggings."

After Monta bought her second pair she announced, "I'm giving all my other jeans away."

The line is woman-owned by a mother-daughter team and grew from their love of all things Brazilian (where women are known for their curves). Their jeans have memory stretch, are contoured to eliminate gaping in the rear, and have a rise that's higher but still looks modern.

Beija-Flor means hummingbird in Portuguese; at Wild Flower it means "my favorite jeans ever".

The Art of Boot Packing

If you're anything like us your 10+ lbs boot collection has quickly lost it's ranking when it comes to packing for a fall trip. With all the new weight restrictions on luggage, finding that one perfect pair (that can go from day to night, country to city) is money in the bank.

Well Seychelles has it figured out with "Meteor Shower II". With a side zipper, for easy on and off access, you can even wear them on the plane without holding up the airport security line; one less thing in your bag means two more things to bring back. Can anyone say Barneys!
