Gift Guide 2020

 Tis the Season... 2020 has been some kind of ride! I think most of us will be hunkering down for a quiet winter holiday season this year with less travel and fewer hugs from those we love. So maybe more than ever I want to give meaningful, special gifts. I've been thinking a lot about the kinds of gifts people seem to love and putting together visually pleasing combos and also trying to keep things easily shippable! Yes, I think about that too... of course! 

While a lot of you will be shopping online this year, more than ever say all reports, please keep in mind that all of your favorite small shops have websites and would be more than happy to help guide you to their best sellers for gifts.  Try and limit your impulsive Amazon purchases or god forbid, those Instagram Ads that look all shiny but the actual merchandise is totally questionable and arrives weeks later in a mysterious package from abroad! 

Folly is always a good gift stop because we pay close attention to what people want and always have some "no brainers" in mind... that equals gifts that never get returned and later people tell us how much they loved this or that! So let me guide you with this gift guide! We wrap everything super cute too!

Our Instagram is a great place to see all the latest arrivals and we have fun putting together little combos.@follypdx 

GIVE GOOD GIFTS 


I love the look of lucite jewelry and think the simple round bangle makes a fun, statement gift $28, and of course the square dangle earring is extra fun for your friend who loves a big earring $30 & we have a bunch of cute French barrette sets most are around $16-$18/ pair.

Here are those awesome round bangles making another appearance because they really do go with everything $28,   how about a premium mask.. these are 4 layers, organic cotton against your face with a filter pocket and come in a million super special prints $30, add a matching purse $62! omg that is so cute and makes a fun gift set, I spy some cute heart barrettes because, yes, they are fun to add onto any gift $18.

Our new Thalia scarf is the lightest, airiest silk with a contrast trim all the way around $98, I've been enjoying the Cele Earrings a lot because they are sparkly and bright with various stones but they weigh nothing.. I love the way they move, shown in Emerald $68, and the Skinny Bangle Set of your dreams... these skinny leather cord bracelets come with either gold or silver plated bead and are super fun to mix-n-match. I love to get a few sets... mix them up and give as a gift ... you can have a miss-matched/matchy-matchy set with your bff! $45 for a set of 7.


And now for some CozyTime Business!
I don't know exactly what it is about the Everyday Cap but it is the perfect beanie... we have this every year and always sell out. Great color combos and unisex fit. $18

Another annual 'survive winter' favorite are these plush lil fingerless gloves. This year we have the teal and black and they are both so cute... get a pair, give a pair! $18

One of my personal tips for staying warm is adding these cute OTK socks! They are like "legwarmers with feet!" so cute and will stay up over your knee when you layer over tights or leggings.. or hey, perfect cozy house socks! Stay cozy $28


And of course we are still cranking out the cutest clothes in Portland! 
I love making clothing that you love to wear so keep us in mind 
when you need a treat or a "better basic"... we got you!

Coco tunic $128, Tasha Turtleneck $118 with Jane Jumper $188, Fiona Dress $235, Tasha Dress $178 with elastic belt $22. all are shown with the best Tummy Tuck Cropped Leggings $36


When you shop small you keep the money in your community and you are also making a real statement about building back the world the way you want it to look! 
This year has been full of challenges, that's obvious, but I have been so moved by the loyalty of so many #follygirls. I know that folly will make it through this time because of you!
Thank you for helping keep this dream, folly... truly my heart, alive!
xoxo. Sarah

and just like that it's Fall 2019!


You know my motto for fall is "ultra cozy EVERYTHING"... duh! There are so many soft and cozy fabrics out there that you should never settle for, "this feels okay..." you need to be like, "this feels AMAZING"!!! Whether buying fabric for my own clothing line or sourcing cute styles for the shop, I am always focused on how something feels against your skin so prepare yourself for mega cozy time! And of course, you need to come in so you can "feel it to believe it".


100% Cotton French Terry wrap sweater with good phone pockets! I love the Parker Sweater so much because this is the sweater you absolutely LIVE IN in the coming months. This particular French Terry is very limited this year because I bought every yard I could find on my last buying trip and I don't know what to do when we use it all up! It is warm and cozy and washable. YES!


Speaking of super soft.... this open blazer from Level 99 is amazing... it feels like ultra suede, made from a Poly/Rayon/Spandex blend it is washable and the perfect travel companion and for my taller gals, you will love this length! 


How about some beautiful color in the mix? Loving all the rich jewel tones this Fall and this hunter green is so cute on everyone! Quilted with fitted elbow length sleeves, this boxy sweater is super easy with jeans for a cute n casual day!

There's so much more but the store is busy so I'll BRB and give you more later!
Stay tuned and come see me!

Tuesday - Friday 10-7
Saturday 11-6
sun/mon closed.

Freshness just keeps coming..... oh hey jumpsuits!

Okay, we talk a lot about dresses and everything related to dresses, like slips to wear under your dresses and our great OBI Belts to style your dresses.... yes, we LOVE dresses! You know it and it is true. But you know what else is super cute to wear to a wedding or whatever... a fun jumpsuit! We have a couple of dressy jumpsuits that would be just as appropriate for a festive occasion as a dress and we also have a few casual ones too that would be perfect for travel or work or just kicking it at your favorite happy hour. Let's talk about jumpsuits!
this beauty by LA designer, Eva Franco would be excellent to wear to a wedding... wide, flowy legs and deep V-neck make this super sexy and chic. This jumpsuit is curvy friendly and runs pretty true to size. Check it out HERE $218 & made in USA.

Here's another jumpsuit in the dress-it-up category. We love this one from dRa ... another deep V-neck, pockets, open back, and side slits... this jumpsuit has it all! I think this would be a great piece to wear to a wedding whether in the city or on the beach! check it out HERE.  $164.


Now for a more casual look... we love this jumpsuit from Bel Kazan!  Bel Kazan is a super cool, small clothing line that manufactures in their own facility in Bali & they also screen print their original designs! How cool is that?! Yep, pretty darn cool! This perfect, loose-n-easy fit has pockets and wide, cropped legs. We have it in two colors. Ash & Mustard. Check them out HERE $165.

We have more jumpsuits coming in because this is a trend that is here to stay (at least for another year but I bet even longer because everyone loves a jumpsuit, romper, onesie... whatever you call it)!

Keep checking back for more "what to wear this season" tips!

The Lily Skinny Straight is the most classic fit. Not too tight, but just right for boots! Shown in Rustic.

comes in two gorgeous colors! Glacier is a beautiful deep teal, and Steel is a classic light charcoal grey.

Sweater Weather!!!

Leaves are starting to change and the feeling in the air screams fall! I know everyone is sipping on hot lattes in the morning and bundling up in old sweaters that somehow seem more threadbare than they once were...I know I'm feeling that way! But Folly is stocked full of cashmere, fuzzy fleece-y things, and soft easy knits! No more dull fashion moments! Fall is absolutely the time to shine and then some! Dress yourself head to toe in yummy and gorgeous goodness!

 

Check out this beautiful Jenni Dress in Forest Green! Made from recycled athletic fabric, this dress both insulates and breathes like a dream! Plus so soft! Paired with my new favorite Silver Mini Obi Belt and super cute knit blazer by Louie et Lucie. A perfect work outfit and then just take off your blazer for a date night. <3 p="">


 
And for a casual day off, try something like this Wilt Back Slant Sweater in a beautiful marled grey. Made of a silk and cashmere blend...what! So soft and cozy. Pair with your favorite jeans (we have lots of options), boots, and a beautiful scarf. Effortless and so cute! And so easy to get everything at one small business! Minus the shoes :) 

 
Last but certainly not least is this Window Tunic by Cameo. Brushed rayon inside means YUM! Feels like the softest finest fleece in the whole world! Wear it over tights or leggings with your fave boots and you are absolutely set. So easy to get dressed in the morning and it feels like a hug! <3 p="">

The Jenni for Fall!

The Jenni by Sarah Bibb comes in so many different styles...check out the sleeveless maxis for the summer! So cute. But now that it's Mid-September and the nights are chilly, a pretty fluttery sleeve or a classic long sleeve sound so yummy in the Jenni Dress. Soft as always and so easy to care for in these super soft jerseys. And in pretty cobalt and plum! Such perfect and flattering colors for everyone. Dress it up with an Obi Belt by Sarah Bibb and some pretty shoes and jewelry! Or dress it down by wearing with your favorite fall boots. Getting dressed in the morning has never been easier. Just throw it on over your Sarah Bibb Ava Slip and out the door you go!

And for the separates kinda gal the Jenni Top is just so lovely. Also made of super soft slinky fabric, the universally flattering cowl neck and extra long and fluttery short sleeve make this shirt so so perfect for any size. In wine and a deep chocolate-y brown you can not go wrong. I personally think wine is THE color of fall 2014! Wear with your favorite skirt...a-line or pencil it will all look amazing! or just wear with your favorite dark wash slim cut jeans or pants. So comfy cute and sophisticated! 
Jenni Top in Wine and Brown
