Travel the World with your Wardrobe

If you have been hiding under a rock, where fashion is concerned, you may not be aware that world prints are where its at for Summer 2014.  This trend is also being referred to as tribal, but it's all the same. These looks are glowing with personality, and can be found almost everywhere this season.

Something about the glamorous colors and outrageous prints, of this tribal world trend,  draws my inner world-traveler out. Usually these looks drape The National Geographic and various other travel magazines, but today they are gracing the most stylish fashion covers and are completely everyday style. 

One place to find these pieces to create a divine, worldly look is at Silkwood boutique. Silkwood has pieces of tribal flair in spades. If you are looking for that unique piece to truly show off this style, Silkwood is the first place to look. There, you will find pieces that will elicit pure envy from all your fellow fashionistas. I, in particular, drool over the jewelry they are carrying right now. It not only speaks to the trend, but also represents local artisans. Not too shabby, my friends. 

Whether or not you have been hiding from it, or sporting this look everyday, wordly prints are completely where its at this Summer. And, if you aren't into getting all decked out in the latest trends, wearing a subtle piece of jewelry is sometimes all it takes. 

Come check out what Silkwood has...and as always, let's shop together soon!

The Rack is not your Body

Do you ever find yourself glamorized by a trendy dress on a rack, slimming denim on a mannequin or an  itty-bitty bikini in a store window? Later, you find yourself in the dressing room, not quite measuring up. Stop torturing yourself. Even though everything won't look the same on your body as it does on the rack, you can still find a look that makes you feel just as glamorous by knowing what to look for. 

The first rule of thumb when shopping should be try everything on.  Every time I meet with a client, the dressing room becomes 'the place to be' for the day. It is a must. Of course, it helps when choosing pieces, to know your body shape and size. This is only a guide, however. Unfortunately every designer sizes things differently, so learning to embrace the dressing room will help you get the fabulous look you desire, faster. 

Second, let the clothing really do the work, by understanding your body type. If you are not sure of what your body type is, contact a stylist or use an on-line resource. This small diamond of knowledge will assist you in choosing looks that flatter your body, and not the rack. Some stylists use the fruit method: pear, apple, banana, etc. Others use shapes: triangle, circle upside-down triangle, etc. Regardless of what method  you choose, when you know what pieces work with your body type, you enable yourself to consistently pick the pieces that work for you. 

Stylists and versatile clothing, for every body type, can be found at Silkwood. Walking by their window, you will indeed be glamorized by the distinctive, eye-catching looks. Once you walk through the door, you may utilize these tips to turn the look you love on the rack to the look that rocks on your body.

Shopping Silkwood

Silkwood

Silkwood is one of those hidden gems, for all those fashionably-inclined. It is a place that truly has those one-of-a-kind pieces that you must have in your closet; when you find it you can't believe you didn't know about it before. From the moment you walk through its doors, you are greeted with beautiful clothes in a comfortable, chic atmosphere. 

With windows from floor to ceiling (in the Pearl), an open space full of lush furniture and beautiful clothing, entering is just the beginning of the experience. Sometimes the simple act of walking around the beautiful clothing in this inviting store is just enough to be great. Other greats at Silkwood are Sandy Varzarschi, the owner, the unique, stylish looks and the unforgettable events. 

Originally located in Lake Oswego, Sandy moved her locale to the Pearl in 2011. Shortly after the Pearl move, she launched another location in Beaverton. What's great is you can shop Silkwood's high-fashion looks in both the urban and suburbia environments, with the same product and lively atmosphere! You also have many opportunities to meet Sandy, as she makes it a point to alternate between locations every other day. Knowing her customers allows her to serve and stylize best by providing you exactly what you want.

Of course it wouldn't be 'the place to be' without the clothing. A big priority of Sandy's is to provide you with pieces of clothing that not only look great, but are lasting and comfortable on, too. Like I said, at Silkwood, simply walking through the racks and feeling the silky tops and smooth leggings gets you excited! On top of all this, the pieces are surprisingly affordable. Silkwood can dress you from head to toe for under $100. Whether it be attending events or hitting the boutique with a friends, Silkwood provides an experience like no other.
