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 blackjeans - 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!
We’re really starting to feel some hints of fall in Portland in the last week or so. The light is changing, the wildfire smoke has cleared off of the city, and we’ve finally gotten some sprinkles of rain here and there. We love a season change at Folly, and we were so excited to be able to kick off our fall collection with the semi annual Fade to Light fashion show where we can experiment with new styles and designs.
Sarah Bibb’s collection made an entrance first with a lighthearted short video centering around the idea that bright colors don’t have to die off at the end of summer, and in fact, we should keep vivid fashion around for the often grey and gloomy Portland fall days. Doesn’t that just make sense? Check out the video below!
Her runway collection was full of playful, yet sporty designs aiming to bring a cheerful mood to the start of fall. The first look out was a teal velvet bra and panties set paired with a kimono style jacket in an abstract printed silk organza.
Next out was a hot pink exaggerated turtleneck paired with a black jumper featuring some oversized buttons. This hot pink dress echoed the silhouette featured in the opening video. I love this idea of a neon pink dress in a fall collection! Following this theme, you can expect to find bright solids and prints along with button details in our in-store fall collection!
The next look down the runway was a bright teal hoody paired with a flowy black patterned skirt with a pop of tulle peeking out. This was a fun way to pair a casual sweatshirt with a more feminine skirt to give a unique and playful look. The fabric of the Mina Skirt is one of our favorites this year! Both of these pieces are very versatile and can be mixed and matched to give a more dressy or cozy feel. Stop by the shop to come check out the Audrey Hoody and Mina Skirt!
Another piece from the runway that's now available for you in-store is the Mary Tunic! For the runway, we paired this with some ombre tights, but for every day, this tunic pairs really nicely with some of our Tummy Tuck Leggings. This tunic is a great way to feel cozy and comfortable, but still look cute!
Next up was a teal velvet tank featuring an exaggerated turtleneck and a silver lining paired with a silk organza mid-length circle skirt lined with a golden yellow silk. The silver lining on the tank gave her an intergalactic type of feel, while still feeling very fall being paired with teal and golden hues. This look was so fun and lighthearted, yet sophisticated and sexy! Come check out these ombre tights we have in the shop too!
Following the theme of velvet and extra long turtlenecks, the next look featured a pink velvet tank paired with a black corduroy jumper with oversized red buttons down the front. I love this look, especially how the ombre tights work with the black jumper to create a seamless gradient.
Second to last was a really fun jumper in a black based print paired with a corduroy bow belt. The wide legs of this jumper move really nicely and gave a balance to the more fitted, strapless top. This fabric is gorgeous and has so many beautiful fall colors! Check out this fabric in one of our Fiona dresses available in the shop!
Lastly, the most dressy and festive piece made an entrance! This look was a one shoulder teal velvet dress with a flowy skirt and silk organza lining. We paired this with a corduroy bow belt, ombre mermaid tights, and the most perfect turquoise pumps to create a seamlessly gorgeous look.
A big thank you to Ama Hathaway for these beautiful photos!
We love the idea of having the runway collection inspire the fall collection we have for you in the store! There will definitely be more fun and colorful pieces inspired by elements of Sarah’s Fade to Light collection coming soon, so stay tuned!
Can you believe fall is almost here?! I swear summer goes by too fast every year, but we’re trying to ease into the season with some of our new fall arrivals! We just got this beautiful mock turtleneck bodycon Valda Dress in Midnight and Iris that could easily be dressed up for a wedding with a necklace and one of our Kimono Clutches or worn in a more professional setting with a blazer or pair of heels. This dress is super soft and the side ruching makes it a flattering fit!
We just got two new Caroline Tees in stock too, and these fabrics are so dreamy for fall! I’m loving this solid Sangria color and Viola floral print. This print has navy, teal, magenta, and the same rust color as our Fiora Jeans! All of these colors seem to be pretty popular for fall this year, and since there’s some black and white in the print too it’s really easy to pair with a pair of black flats or a black cardigan. We love this fit since it’s not too long and not too short, and just perfect for tucking into a skirt or pants. A must-have basic!
Want to come see Sarah Bibb and other Portland designers show off their latest designs in a fashion show? Make sure to get tickets to Fade To Light on August 21st and 22nd at The Crystal Ballroom here.
October is here and the holidays are just around the corner! Time flies. Yesterday as I was leaving the shop, Sarah and I remarked at just how dark it was already! Full on dusk at 6:30 PM. Sigh. Goodbye summer!
I seek solace in fleecy PJ's and cozy cashmere. (And probably way too many cups of hot apple cider.)
Before you get all caught up in holiday madness, don't forget to treat YOURSELF to a little something.
You deserve it!
This Tunic!!! The perfect cozy up. Gorgeous navy mouline wool.
Beautiful detailing. Seriously. You HAVE to click through and see the detail shots. Dreamy!
While we're talking about lovely wool essentials, check out this top by Sarah Bibb!
A perfect basic. Great for layering or not! A wide, fittest wrist cuff and extra long sleeves are perfect if you're tall or small! The sleeves sit perfectly on your wrist. easy through the body. A wool blend t-shirt! You will wear this more than anything else in your wardrobe when the days are short and cold!
Seriously my favorite thing in the store right now! Oh I have hearts in my eyes! The softest thing you've ever had on your body. Fuzzy. Warm. And adorable! A bunny print with little fox shadows! Could it be any cuter? Yes. But only when wearing matching ATF sweat pants! Oh and Made in LA! Because who doesn't love supporting American made products and workers getting paid real wages?!
Have you been working SO hard all year? Have you been running around taking care of the little ones constantly? Do you deserve something extra special? Yes. To all those questions!
This gorgeous heavy weight cashmere wrap is basically your own personal blanket! wrap her around you in front of the fire...You'll be so glad you have this if there's a snow day this winter!
A personal fave of mine! Super skinny hi-rise jeans. My go to all year round! Hi rises are more comfy for me, not having a waistband dig into your hips is A+! I love a classic dark wash. Goes with everything!
If you're in the mood for something a little different, a colored jean is the way to go. Just as easy to wear as a classic denim, a colored jean is a fun way to add a big pop and not feel like you're wearing the same old blue jeans every day! This brick red looks great with all warm and neutral colors.
And if you want a treat just for you...Try this cashmere hoodie! It's OMG soft, has pockets, and it's cute too! No more beat up college hoodie. Wear this tot he movies instead!
Around the shop we always joke that the moment it feels like Summer has arrived is when we start getting Fall styles in! Ha! Of course, that's just the life of a shop girl. Well, even though it's kiiiind of sad to know Fall is just around the corner...I find solace in the fact that Fall fashion is just the best. Soft and luxe sweaters, comfy cozies, extra tailored details. In Summer we are so used to easy breezy and flowy. Fall is really the time to bust out your inner style maven. ♥
This drape back sweater is so cool. Pair with a cami or a cute bralette with back detail. So soft, cozy, and easy. Over a pair of your favorite Level 99 jeans, you really can't go wrong.
This marled tunic is the perfect transition piece! Heavy weight and such a cute fit. Dart in the back helps it lay nicely too :) So cute over skinnies or leggings!
Folly Fan Fave the Amanda! In the perfect stretchy snappy and slightly heavier weight fabric. This lovely grey is the perfect transition color. So cute for the end of summer with some fun printed accessories, but also the perfect shade for fall! Looks lovely with black, navy, oatmeal, burgundy... ♥
And! Yay! We have received our first piece of cashmere for the season! I have hearts in my eyes for this one. It's a linen cashmere blend and its oh so cozy and cute. Perfect with jeans or be a boho princess in palazzo pants! Ah what a lovely piece this is.
Ah October. The chilly breezy mornings have me so excited to throw on a sweater and sip on a hot coffee... Folly has in these new, gorgeous pieces by Mickey and Jenny. Quirky, chic, and cozy! You couldn't ask for more!
Check out this adorable Milly Sweater! Beautiful navy, sky blue, and white marled knit with a super cool tri-point hemline. It really is beyond a basic. Just because you are comfy doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your unique style! A perfect fit, and it feels soooo nice...Super cute with your favorite jeans or even over a cute little skirt!
Or try this seriously amazing Scarlette Sweater Dress. A unique hemline also, with beautiful charcoal and ivory stripes..and an absolutely WOW neckline! Sleeveless turtleneck to really show of your shoulders. Sexy and demure! And the beautiful hemline makes for a perfect stage for your favorite fabulous boots or heels.
Both of these make amazing subtle statement pieces for your fall wardrobe. Unique, but not so trendy they will be out of style next season. These are really unique pieces that will last you forever!
