Weston Wear, You're 30!?!?

We can't believe you've hit the big 3-0. You're certainly wise enough to be 30 (it shows in your great fit). Plus you're the kind of dress maker that works so well for 30+ year old women (thank you for that, it's not easy to find a dress that makes you feel NOT your age and your age at the same time). So we'll believe you when you say it, and we'll toast this impressive milestone every time one of your dresses makes one of our customers feel amazing. Your colors, prints, fit, function and style are always the bomb.

Consignment Sale '10 Scrapbook

Notes-to-Self for next time:

• Check for rain on set-up day and plan accordingly (wet clothes=not good)
• Eat breakfast before the sale starts (a.k.a. don't open doors until we get breakfast)
• Remember to smile when ten people are waiting to pay and cranberry juice spills all over the counter
• Have back up calculator for when cranberry juice spills all over counter (or don't use calculator and practice adding in our heads!)
• Remind shoppers it's tax-free weekend (cha-ching for them)
  
• Ask Allison to work ahead of time (thanks A for stepping in literally mid-sale:)
• More mirrors in the backroom
• Hang sale clothes by color (it's so much prettier that way)
• Mark sale jeans so full-price jeans don't go for $25 too (oops)
• Convince Penny Griffith to bring more consignment:)

We had a great weekend! Thanks to everyone for bringing in, coming out, and buying up! Until next year...

Consignment Countdown

We were at work all day yesterday setting up for our BIG sale event. The store has been transformed into a hunting ground:) Everything has been marked to sell: all jeans $25, all shoes $20, all boots $30 and everything else $50 or less. Some of the finds up for grabs include pieces by Catherine Maladrino, Betsey Johnson, Michael Stars, Free People, and a few vintage dresses thanks to one very stylish consignment customer. We have lots of brands/designers you don't always see at Wildflower (plus a ton that you do!!!). We hope you'll stop by (a couple times) this weekend to find your next favorite outfit. See you soon.

Desigual for All

In Spanish, Desigual means "unequal" and when you see our newest brand's Fall '10 collection this name will seem just about right. Anytime we carry something from Europe the colors and prints are always super unique and Desigual is no exception. So far they've offered boldness and graphics galore; like their skirts and dresses, which will transition nicely into cool weather but can still be worn now with a bright tee and sandals. Pictured here is just a sample. Stop by to see their winter knits and coats too. They're making a name for themselves this side of the Atlantic and we're happy to help out. Viva la Desigual for all!!!

Cali Comes a Callin'

We're constantly trying to find new and inspiring musicians to share with our customers. Thanks to last Saturday night's show at The Garage we found some right in our own backyard.

You'll want to claim Rose's Pawn Shop as your own. They sound like good 'ol homegrown Appalachian boys. Yet another local bluegrass band we can take pride in. But they're not and that's one thing that makes them intriguing. These boys come from Los Angeles wearing Vans slip-ons and all.

Preview them on our video playlist (see below) then check them out at Floydfest this weekend (we'll be there with bells, feathers & our Vans on too).

Melts In Your Mouth

Here's a few of the pieces by MM Couture that we just got in. A 'lil bit street & a 'lil bit high fashion, this line by Miss Me is fast becoming a Wildflower Girl favorite. We can't stop at just one!

Street Peep Emilie

If you don't know Emilie Taylor, you should! She loves cashmere in the winter, cotton in the summer, and Prada bags all year long. A little bit high fashion and a lot free spirit, friend to everyone (a.k.a stranger to no one), we love when she drops by to chat and try on. Like yesterday, when inspiration was needed, there was Emilie with the latest Barneys Co-Op catalog (check out the model's braided hairstyles!), speaking German to some little ones (kids speaking German is fun) and sharing her wisdom, as always.
