Carmilia's Boutique - West Seattle

Carmilia's Winter Sale continues....

2012-01-13T08:52:00.000-08:00

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!

Michael Stars delivery has arrived....

2011-08-02T14:34:00.001-07:00

Michael Stars has great basics for fall, but they're more than just basic. They're cute, wearable and just what every closet needs for this time of the year. The skirt pictured here would be adorable with a tank and sandals but just as cute with boots and a chunky sweater once the fall snap hits Seattle.

There are lots of cute tees to choose from. The two styles pictured here come in other colors, as well.

Stop by The Junction!

Tulle delivery has come and is going.....fast!

2011-08-01T11:53:00.000-07:00

Tulle is one of our favorite and best-selling brands at Carmilia's. The prices are fantastic, the styles are reliably adorable and, even though it runs a bit small, it's worth sizing up for these cute pieces.

The blazer is a must have for fall and comes in both grey and black. It's made out of stretchy sweatshirt material and can dress up or down. The roll neck trench is in the window and drawing customers in with its great stand up collar and 3/4 sleeve detail. The dress is almost sold out already, but at $55 it's worth stopping in to try and snatch the last one.

Hope to see you soon....

Transition items arriving daily at Carmilia's!

2011-07-30T12:30:00.001-07:00

I know the sun has just begun to reliably shine in Seattle, but the retail engines chug on into fall without fail. Carmilia's has started receiving the first fall 'transition' deliveries and they're perfect to wear now and on into the cool days that are bound to come our way.

These photos are from the Velvet Fall I delivery.

Next week we'll be getting Michael Stars and Nally and Millie pieces in, and August is a BIG month for deliveries with Plenty and Frock, Ella Moss and more.

Don't forget about SHOP LATE in The Junction on Thursdays. Nineteen stores are open till 9:00 on Thursdays through the summer and we always have drinks and treats to share with shoppers. Mark your calendar and stop in this week.

Featured Local Jewelry Designer ~ Jules Cechony

2010-10-04T12:09:00.000-07:00

My love of making jewelry has been growing since I can remember. My mother had beautiful jewelry and I was mesmerized by it. I was 12 when I made my first bracelet and took classes in high school and college always using jewelry making as a hobby never thinking of myself as an artist. Eight years ago I was lucky enough to have my good friend, Linda Sabee, owner of Carmilia's, tell me to stop giving it away and start selling it! All of my jewelry is handmade by me with the stones carefully selected. I use their cut and color to lead my way using only sterling silver, fine silver and 14kt gold fill metals. Although I do have some designs that I mass-produce, most are one of a kind pieces that can be worn whether you are dressing up or down, t-shirt and jeans or a black tie affair!

Many styles are available at Carmilia's. Watch for upcoming trunk show on November 18 at Carmilia's where the entire lovely collection will be on display and available for purchase!

At Clementine, I recently fell in love with these open-toe, wedge booties from Jeffrey Campbell (I bought them, of course!). Now, how do I complete the look? From the advice department at Carmilia's - SHORTS! Here are two cute options from Tulle and Red Engine.

Scenario #2 ~ What to wear to get noticed, again...

2010-04-21T10:00:00.000-07:00

West Five, last Friday night - I saw you sitting at the end of the bar (next to Dave). Before you sat down, you bumped my arm and I spilled my rum and Diet Coke, remember? Let's try this again....Friday, West Five. I'll be wearing sexy gold boots and a tie-dye dress with some bling. Trust me, I'll be the best looking thing at the bar, thanks to Clementine's and Carmilia's.

Join us for weekly outfit trouble shooting....

Scenario #1: Those walks to The Junction every Sunday don’t seem to be enough exercise anymore. Could it be that the stop at Bakery Nouveau for a chocolate croissant and a quick smile from the cute bakery boy are nullifying any attempt at weight loss? Or worse yet, could it be the dreaded over-40 metabolism shut down? Whatever the cause, I need to look 10 pounds thinner, pronto, I've got a date with my new online match. He’s seen my picture from two years ago and might not recognize my new butt. Carmilia's and Clementine's to the rescue...I have something to wear. I KNOW the shoes won’t make me look fat, and this dress will cover up most of my croissant-shaped lumps without looking, you know, tent-ish.

Thanks C&C,
WS Shopper #1

Save the date ~ April 29th NWHH Fashion Show

2010-04-01T11:09:00.001-07:00

Be there for this year's show coming up on April 29th at the Showbox SODO. Buy your tickets online or at Carmilia's. Hope to see you there!

Ella Moss Pantsuit ~ $128

2010-03-29T14:11:00.000-07:00

One of this season's cutest trends, the pantsuit, takes on new lengths with cropped styling. Wear it with heels for a chic, dressy night out, or pair it with flip flops for a casual stroll down on Alki. (The sun is coming, isn't it?) Also, watch for Clementine's shoe pairing tomorrow (3/30) on Facebook to see what she would put with this hot little number.

Clementine's meets Carmilia's, what a beautiful combination

Sun, sun, sun!

California Avenue...a sunny(ish) Monday. Local West Seattle ladies open their closets and decide they can't stand one more day of jeans, sweaters, socks and boots. The air may be crisp, but the upswing in the temperature is cause for bare legs, a fresh dress and some cute sandals. But where to go? Clementine's and Carmilia's, of course.

This Laundry dress (Carmilia's) and Chie Mihara sandal (Clementine's) are just the thing for spring...see you soon!

We love West Seattle!

2010-03-12T14:38:00.000-08:00

I was talking with an old friend the other day and she said she was sad to hear I had closed my store! Yikes!! I assured her that we're still here and happily selling clothes to our wonderful West Seattle shoppers. Gave me a chill, but otherwise made me count my blessings for all of you out there who shop and support us. Hope to see you soon.
