West Seattle Fashion Night

Come to Shadowland this Thursday for our annual Winter and Holiday Fashion Show. It's always lots of fun and a great opportunity to shop and celebrate.

Carmilia's is TEN!

Come celebrate 10 years with us this weekend. Today, Friday, November 16, we will be offering hourly discounts. Check Facebook and our front window to see the discount for the hour and come save on one item. From 4:00-7:00 we'll be serving up Carmilia's cocktail punch, cupcakes and a Jules Accessory Design trunk show. Saturday, November 17, come play Carmilia's Trivia to see if you're a perfect '10' to receive a discount. We'll have champagne all day and Jules will be in store with her lovely jewelry. Hope to see you in The Junction! Thanks for 10 years of shopping fun! xo, Carmilia's

GO SHOPPING!

Did you realize the end of the year and all the big holidays that make life cuckoo are only eight weeks away? It's hard to believe since here in Seattle it feels like we've just finished summer, but the calendar is flipping ever forward. To help you with your fall wardrobe and maybe some early holiday gift shopping, Carmilia's is offering 15% off all apparel from now until Sunday, November 4th. Offer is valid on regularly priced apparel only and is not to be used with any other offers or coupons. Happy Shopping!

It's sweater weather

Seattle seems to have skipped fall this year and is sliding right into wintery weather and wind. You'll need to bundle up but stay cute and Carmilia's has you covered, of course! THML is a new brand to Carmilia's and is extremely well priced. This sweater has a distinct '80s vibe without going to far down retro street. Tulle has always had a home here at Carmilia's and continues to wow us with cute, affordable, stylish wear. Stop and shop soon, we'd love to see you and appreciate your continued patronage!

Fall Fashion Affai

It's fall and time for the Fall Fashion Affair! See you tomorrow night in the West Seattle Junction for shopping, libations and fun.

Tonight is art walk and it's going to be a beautiful night outside and in. Carmilia's will be featuring the artwork of Holly Siburg. We'll have snacks and wine and shopping. There are new deliveries in: Michael Stars, Nally and Millie and more. See you tonight! Mention this post tonight from 6-9 and receive a gift from me!

I don't know about you, but I've noticed a distinct 'crisp' in the air the last few days and that's a sure sign Seattle is rolling into fall. September is a beautiful month in Seattle. The sunny days are laced with a cool breeze and even cooler nights. Outfits this month can combine dresses with cute boots and no tight. Save the tights for later when the sun hides from Seattle for months! At Carmilia's, we have the perfect fall dresses to carry you through September looking beautiful and stylish. Color blocking is still big for fall and these dresses from Suzy Chin give you a pop of fall color!

Carmilia's is having a fall preview sale from now until Labor Day, offering 15% off new fall arrivals (excludes jewelry). There are great items to choose from including a Red Engine denim delivery (who doesn't need new jeans for fall?), Suzy Chin dresses that will take you from coffee to cocktails and Michael Stars, Ella Moss and Velvet not-so-basic tees. We hope to see you soon!

Tulle is one of our favorite brands at Carmilia's. Their pieces are always cute and unique and also extremely well priced. So far this fall, we've received two dresses and a darling cropped jacket. Each piece retails for right around $80. Every month we'll receive Tulle deliveries. They sell fast, don't miss out!

One of the best colors this fall (and every fall, for that matter) is deep teal. It's a great transition color because it works so well with sun-kissed skin and the great chocolate browns going forward to fall. Carmilia's has some great teal fashions in store. Michael Stars always hits the mark with colors and styles and this season is no exception. There are some beautiful teal tees in supima and shine to choose from. A new brand for us is Soul Revival and there's an amazing teal dress in store now. It's soft, slinky and sexy. Stop in soon!

The West Seattle Summer Fest was tons of fun and we saw so many great customers throughout the weekend. Thanks to the Junction for hosting such an amazing yearly event. There are still some great sales picks left at Carmilia's, and we never stop getting new merchandise. This week we're scheduled to receive Susana Monaco, Joie, Red Engine and Miss Me Couture. Yesterday, a box arrived from Awake Couture and contained beautiful silk tees featuring two of the hottest blondes of all time. These will be great right now with white skinny jeans (in stock!), but great in the fall with black skinnies and boots. Shop soon!

Carmilia's Winter Sale continues....

Every now and then, there's a fabulous dress that comes in but, for some reason, just doesn't sell. This dress by Frock! is one of those dresses. It's a perfect little party dress: well made, a tad sparkly, sexy and modest all at the same time. We have three sizes left and it's marked down from it's original price of nearly $300 to only $99! You should at least come take a look. If this lovely dress isn't for you, you just might find something else.

Happy shopping, hope to see you soon!
Carmilia's, xo
