Look at this cute painting of folly and gift guide part 2

Really loving this beautiful painting of the folly storefront by Portland artist, Jenna Lechner. I think she perfectly captured the essence of folly! I found the perfect spot to hang this painting so next time you visit you can see it in person! 

I love making a festive holiday window and am really happy with how this one came out. It's hard to see all the special stuff of a window display from far away and I have learned it's much more about an overall vibe unless you are up close! I love the plaid in the background and all the cute presents. The center tree is on a turning platform but I swear it turns so slow that no one even notices! For someone not much into subtlety that tree is taunting me! hahah. 
The message is simple and sweet... GIVE GOOD GIFTS! I love to help you pick out gifts that I think have a very good chance of being well received. I love a useful gift, a cozy gift, a thoughtful gift!  And I listen to what people say about things all year so I do feel pretty qualified to give advice about all these goodies.
Everyday Cap $18 - this beanie is one of those funny things that everyone loves, Cashmere socks $38 always a great gift, Heart barrettes $18/pair cute lil stocking stuffer, Fingerless gloves $18 love and we sell out of these every year,  Cele earrings $68 I think these are so pretty on everyone
Cele necklace $68 if you like the earrings you will love the necklace too.. I don't recommend giving a set but the style is so cute. Biggie claw = awesome $22,  Skinny Bangles.. these are so good! mix and match a few sets and keep some, give some! sets of 7 for $45
This beautiful Dua Scarf is amazing... it is super light and airy viscose with a touch of cashmere and two prints that are both stunning $148, another great biggie claw $22, Pavi Earrings $48 these are also an absolute no-brainer for any style person!
Love the Thalia scarf $98 we have many different prints available and it is a perfect gift!

Shopping small this year is more important than ever before... do I say that every year? Maybe! But this year is truly special. As you know all small business have faced tremendous difficulties in 2020..... we pivot and pivot until we are dizzy! I am so incredibly grateful for my #follygirl community who show me so much love and support. I feel like folly will be fine and in the end I'm sure there will be parts that I will be grateful for but it is a lot of work. I love being a refuge from the world for my customers and feel really proud of the deep bonds I have formed with women all over the country.  

Every small biz has a website these days and I am simply encouraging you to visit them directly vs. shopping on amazon, etc... Don't be lured in by a glossy instagram ad that takes you to a mysterious website... visit a small business in your immediate community and buy something and then tell someone you did it! Sharing on instagram/fb, etc is free and does so much to encourage us to keep going.   

I love making clothing you love to wear year after year. I feel so proud of the production that we manage to pull off right here in the back of the shop.  I hope to be able to do this for a bit longer! 

xoxo. Sarah 

Always happy to wrap a present for you! I actually really love doing it. 



 detail from the window... so cute!
We make our infinity scarves every year too.. they are amazing and I save some favorite pieces of fabric all year so they can meet their final destination in a single loop infinity scarf $68 and those perfect skinny bangles! $45 for set of 7.

Happy New Year! Start it off Fresh with Goodies from Folly!

The perfect little work dress in the deepest shade of navy blue. So cute with a tight and cozy sweater, even better with your fave flats once the sun comes back out! Aren't you excited for the impending spring season? I know I am!

Tall girls get in this! Lovely long jumper. Your legs will go on for miles and miles! Cute and a little quirky layered over a fun printed shirt. Plus pockets of course!

Your new bff. You know what we say about having the perfect "desk cardi"! I know your office is cold year round, you're always telling us all about it! Well this is the perfect fix. A goes-with-everything cardigan is an absolute must have.

Speaking of basics, don't miss out on this batch of Caroline Tees! A little 3/4 sleeve ballet style top is the perfect basic. Great with skirts, under a blazer, with jeans, you name it! It's way more flattering than your plain old tees and a little more refined too.

Perfect for your Hawaiian getaway. These Johnny Was dresses never stay in stock for long! Gorgeous patterns, the softest silk. A great timeless piece for lounging around or dressing up!

XOXO Happy New Year!

Perfect Pieces for Your Holiday Party Outfits!

We know it's such a pain to pick that perfect special something to wear to your holiday parties. We've got some amazing easy to wear and statement goodies. You'll be looking SO fresh in all those pesky group photos!

The perfect thing for an office party! So smart and sweet. Who doesn't love a gold glittery dress? Easy to dress up or down. Try some pumps and sheer stockings for a professional event or some cute booties for a night out with the girls!
This cardigan is so perfect for those holiday obligations that might require your "comfy jeans." Throw this on over a slim tee with your favorite Level 99s. 
Everyone will envy your effortlessly chic look!

For the girl who just loves the vintage vibe! A classic and sweet dress with a hint of sparkle. Pair with a red lip and some statement shoes for a look as sweet as mincemeat pie!


Oh the Zoe! We absolutely love this dramatic circle skirt. A nipped in waist and asymmetrical lace ruffle are sure to be noticed! A festive and gorgeous look for a stylish gal.


Perfectly adorable and foolproof! This dress speaks for itself, but don't be afraid to pair with a quirky accessory like these adorable spotted tights! This dress absolutely begs for a cute jewel toned shoe.

A wonderful finisher. The Stevie shrug is the perfect go to for when it's a little bit chilly, or if you just want some arm coverage! We absolutely love Copper Union's one size fits all fixer upper!

Don't forget to top it all off with a little shine! We love that Favor is made in Portland. The designs are all so easy to wear, but are so unique too! A perfect and subtle statement. 

Folly is chock full of lovely beauties to wear and the jewelry to go along with it! Whether you need to stop in totally last minute on your way home or are planning and hosting a big bash, we absolutely love to dress you! 
XOXO

Rich Jewel Tones and Fun Prints for Fall!

Oh how we love fall...as sad as we are to see summer go, there is nothing quite like gorgeous fall clothing!

Our favorite trends so far this fall are vintage inspired prints, cute mini skirts to wear with tights, bright and rich colors and LOTS of layers! Love it! Whats big on your fall fashion forecast Folly Girl?

Easy peasy! Cute and sweet. Pair with leggings and a tall boot. Mod Cute!


The Cynthia is a CLASSIC Sarah Bibb dress! Comfy, pockets, statement collar. Love it in this slate grey!

The Syd is swingy cute. A circle skirt that isn't so crazy voluminous but with lots of movement. Love.

Perfect instead of a tee! Cardi up with this one for cool weekend mornings. 

Love this mini a-line. Perfect with a legging! Vintage cute!

It's Starting to Get Cozy In Here... New Fall Arrivals!

The perfect soft and easy tee. Split sleeve cuff, hi-lo hem, great with your favorite skinnies.


We love these blouses from Velvet! Soft, light, fluttery. Wear with jeans or your favorite pencil skirt!
Under a blazer or a cardi, this will be your new favorite.

Yep, that's right. Tunic season is quickly approaching! Nothing like wearing your favorite leggings with an easy tunic. Belt it or not, wear it now with sandals and later with boots! It's one of our favorite looks.



The Jamie in two new colors! Are you an original or mini obi kind of girl? 
The Jamie is the best work dress. Season-less, fun to layer, pockets and comfy!


Need a dress to take you directly from work to play? This lovely hand printed dress by Bel Kazan has you covered! Pockets, heavy jersey, wraps on top with a cute keyhole back! 


WE LOVE FALL!

Cozy fabrics, deep rich colors, and layers galore! I'm excited to get to wear my favorite booties again!

New Sarah Bibb Styles and One of a Kind Garments!

Sarah has been slaving away to whip up these new limited edition cuties!

I LOVE the Kestly! Flowy, flirty, and SO FUN! It's the perfect dress to wear for a funky wedding, a day at the coast, or just out and about the town! It's comfortable, light, and move so beautifully.
Available in this pretty floral print in three one of a kind dresses

The Georgie is a new tunic we're trying out! Swingy silhouette, loose and easy. 
Cute belted or not! Love the kimono-esque sleeves and the pop of pink. 

Isn't this fabric just the sweetest? Love these twirling girls! Apron style top. So adorable. Lace accents, in just the lightest cotton! Cute with jeans or tucked into a skirt.



P.S. Do you follow us on Instagram? It's a really fun way to keep up with what's new at Folly. We post regularly and even post some behind the scenes stuff for you to see. The life of a rag hag can be pretty  interesting sometimes! Oh, and we try to make you giggle now and then.

Cozy up! New Cold Weather Accessories, Lounge Wear & More!

Ah. We are having a lovely crisp autumn day! I love when it's chilly and bright without a cloud in the sky. Holidays just around the corner...cozy family memories... Definitely my favorite time of year! What about you Folly Girl? Leave me a comment letting me know your favorite season and why! 

Here's a sampling of lovely things to bundle up in on these cold nights!


I LOVE!I mean absolutely LOVE this denim shirt jacket! It's a perfect weight denim. Soft and supple but warm and durable! Pockets. Mid thigh length. So cute as a layering piece, or button up over leggings for a cute denim dress! Love! And they're selling super fast so don't miss out! 

This new style by Sarah Bibb is so yummy! Made in the absolute softest stripe fabric. Fitted cuffs = perfect sleeve length every time. Cozy. Cute layered. So good with jeans, a skirt, or cozied up with your favorite joggers in front of the fire place!

Loving this PomPom Beanie! My style rule this winter is to not stop wearing bright colors! On dark dreary days, a pop of color helps me stay in a cheerful mood. Now, I still have a LOT of black in my wardrobe. I can't stay away! But I find that the easiest way to keep it bright and happy is accessories. They're just so easy!



Cameo always knocks it out of the park with cozy goodies! So soft. Perfect easy fit. Pockets. The perfect alternative to your ratty old college sweatshirt. Much more grocery store appropriate ;)

This Ombre Paisley Printed Scarf is a go to! HUGE first of all, so soft, and classic no fuss!
Also in

Hey look! There's that Kendra top again. It's so cute tucked into this lovely faux-suede a-line skirt! Snap front buttons. Super stretchy and soft. The shape is oh so flattering on everyone!
Also in Roselle, a brick red color.

And I'm never going to stop raving about All Things Fabulous! Made in LA. And Made out of the softest clouds harvested right out of the sky! Just kidding. But might as well be! Seriously the softest thing you've ever felt. The most perfect line for lounging around.


Last but certainly not least...treat yourself to a cashmere scarf. Seriously! You won't regret it. So soft and cozy and with care will last you forever. This triangle shaped scarf is perfect for wrapping handkerchief style (as shown above) but is also great wrapped around your shoulders! 
In four different colors!

Hope I've inspired you to stay cozy! In the meantime, did you know we've started personalized wishlists?
Make sure you get what you want this year!

xoxo folly girl!
