Hope to see you there!!

Scenario #5: OK, I'm a shoe girl, I admit. I start with the shoes then figure out what to wear with. 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...

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

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

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!
