Fall Accessories

Happy Friday #follygirls!

I hope you all had a fantastic week. 

I went to the Flaming Lips concert last night and I had a blast! It was an outdoor concert with some light showers, so I got a bit chilly and wish I had brought a scarf like our NEW Biggie Scarves...

We have a TON of scarves at Folly like our very popular silk scarves. The Biggie scarves are perfect for Fall and sooo soft and cozy that you'll feel like you're wrapped in a warm blanket. Just try not to get cozy and fall asleep at work! 

Not only do scarves add a beautiful pop of color to your outfit, but they're the perfect layering piece I always try to have in my bag or car during fall and winter time. I love grabbing a scarf before I leave the house, rather than a jacket if the weather isn't cold enough for a jacket. 

If you still struggle to plan for our temperamental Portland weather like me: try throwing a scarf into your purse next time you leave the house to stay prepared for any weather change. #portlandnativetip.

The next accessories I want to talk about today are the three NEW Sweetie Bags by Busy Mushroom aka by our wonderful lead seamstress Ying.

Polka Cutie

 

And here's what I would pair with the polka cutie bag:

 

Next up: mittens! Similar to scarves, mittens are also a great accessory to have in your bag this fall. 

What I love about these mittens is that they're finger-less; meaning you can use your phone, button your pants, and open cans, all while your fingers stay warm inside of these cutsie little mittens.

Black/Golden

Oh and did I mention that they have a flap that unbuttons to cover your fingers? What more could you ask for !?

  

 

Well.. you could ask for more Fall weather to come faster. Don't worry, were trying. 

Have a great weekend #follygirls! Thanks for reading.

How do you make leaves fall off of trees?
You don’t - they do it autumn-atically

 

 

Accessories we LOVE!

Happy Friday #follygirls!

Today I wanted to talk to you all about the accessories we have here at Folly, and show them some much deserved love!

Classic Beret & Reversible Sun Hat

Slouchy Bag & Fishy Knife necklace in Silver

(I've also been tackling the task of re-photographing the accessories on our website- and look how cute Fanny and Stella the mannequins look in our accessories!)

One of my favorite accessories here at Folly are the Slouchy Bags by Busy Mushroom aka our amazing lead seamstress, Ying!

I think these are all soooo cute and perfect for grocery runs, walking around town, and especially travel. Their collapsible-ity makes them great for travel, so you can take it anywhere!

My favorite prints are the Dinosaurs and Apples. ---More pics of bags coming soon to the website!

Also by Busy Mushroom are our Reversible Sun Hats. These guys are… you guessed it… reversible!

Simply pull the hat inside out, pull one tie out, then wrap it around the back of the hat into the opening, and ta dah you have a whole new hat! Two for the price of one. These hats are made out of the same material as the slouchy bags (quilter weight cotton) so they're also very collapsible and amazing for travel. 

Speaking of travel- we LOVE to see you #follygirls send us photos of you traveling with your Folly clothes and accessories. Here are some of our lovely customers showing off their Reversible Sun Hats!

 

 

  

 

 

Have photos of you wearing your Folly clothes or accessories? Whether you're traveling abroad or hanging around in town: we’d love to showcase your pictures on our Instagram stories we call “who wore what wear.” DM us @follypdx for a chance to be featured.

 

 

Also lets talk necklaces! I showed you in the beginning of this post a photo of our adorable Fishy Knife necklace (we also have one in gold too!) We have a variety of jewelry here at Folly, from earrings to necklaces we got you covered! And when you're traveling (with your Reversible Sun Hat and your Slouchy Bag of course), you want to avoid bringing your grandmas precious pearls...

Here are some our necklaces and earrings I think would be so cute added onto any outfit of your choosing this summer:

Bags, and hats, and socks,

all the accessories for going to the docks.

Or wear them to the store, shore, or while doing chores. 

We make things that make you say "score"! 

 

Come See Us For New Fall Treats! We've Got Cozy Accessories and Perfect Basics!

Fall is officially in the air and we’ve got so many cute new arrivals! Come by and find a cozy treat for you and your bff! 

We just got in some new prints of our favorite Thunderpants, which make for an easy and affordable gift. They are made in Portland from organic cotton and once you try them you might just fall in love with how comfortable and cute they are! I have a pair of the hi-rise bananas and they are perfect for lounging or sleeping in, and they pair nicely with our striped Babe Tee to make an adorable lounge set. 

   

   

Another couple great gifting items are our fingerless gloves and beanies! Who doesn’t love a good hat and glove combo?! Stay cozy on these chilly fall days with these accessories!

You might remember these basic turtlenecks from last year. We loved them so much we brought them back again this season! These are just the piece you need for layering under practically anything - dresses, short sleeve tops, cardigans - or wearing on their own paired with a necklace and jeans for a classic and flattering silhouette. 

Another great basic is this Sanza Top in the softest grey fabric and a little ribbing detail! This top is so soft you just want to cuddle up in it! Easy fit and pairs nicely with a pair of blue or black jeans - which we also have in stock! 

Be sure to stop by if you’re looking for a little fall treat for you or someone you love! We can help you pick out a few things and gift wrap them too! Or if your special someone prefers to pick out gifts themselves we have gift cards too! 

See you soon!

XOXO,

Have Fun with Accessories! We’ve Got Summer Bags and New Jewelry!

Looking for a cute summer tote or weekend getaway bag? We’ve got just the thing! Our Shopper Beach Stripe Tote is perfect for a picnic or a trip to the coast with two inside pockets and a canvas interior. This pretty pink and orange stripe is subtle with a little pom pom flair to keep things fun and whimsical. Pairs great with our Rusty Fiora Jeans, Navy Stripe Leah Top, and Rose TWT Watch.

Headed out on a quick summer trip? Our Indigo Weekender Bag is just what you need for a couple days out of town. This navy stripe is super neutral and adorable so it will pair well with almost any outfit, but if you want a little extra stripe style, pair it with our mini-stripe Razzle Caroline Tee, Leafy Painter Pants, and Secret Garden Johnny Was Scarf. The Weekender Bag is also lined with a pretty pink floral print. 

If you’re loving stripes as much as we are this summer you’ll appreciate our Ellie Convertible Backpack paired with the most adorable Cuban Cocktail Federica Dress. You can carry this bag as a backpack or tote! What a duo! The Federica Dress is a super cute vintage cut and also has pockets. Pair this dress with a metallic sandal or white sneaker and our Teal Seed Bead Earring for a super stylish look. 

Going out to happy hour and need a little clutch that converts to a crossbody to hold your phone and wallet? We’ve got that too! These Kimono Clutches are so cute and unique. My favorite is the yellow Deco print since it pairs well with so many other colors! How amazing is it with this turquoise hand embroidered Abril blouse? Stop by the store to check out this top since its in-store only and one-of-a-kind!

Just last week we got in some Lucite Bangles, Hoops, and Half Round Earrings. We’ve been pairing these pieces with all kinds of outfits! They’re kind of mod, super fun, and very wearable. A nice pop of color without being overbearing! These make great gifts too. Come down to the shop to say hi and try on some fun summer pieces and jewelry! We’ll help you put outfits together and mix and match accessories so you don’t have to sweat it! 

See you soon!

XOXO,

Folly Girl Hope
