Welcome to our newest member!

Why not come in and welcome our newest member by buying one of her gorgeous dresses at 40% off? That's right! Tricia Mulhern is coming in with a bang, by offering her fall/winter line at 40% off! She needs to make room for the fabulous spring stuff that's in the works, but her stock won't last long at these prices. Her styles are really cute- understated with flair, stylish and classy, but still funky. This gal is going to go places, and we're lucky to get her at the start of her career. Her line is called Spruce Clothing, and you're going to love it!

Valentine's Gift Ideas for the Off-beat Gal


Not your typical Valentine's gift, but you'll go straight to her heart with these pieces. A domino pendant and domino earrings, these are the perfect gift for a woman who really knows her own style and is too cool for those typical romantic gestures. You might think a woman fitting this description is too cool to care about Valentine's Day gifts, and if you keep believing that, stock your freezer with single serving TV dinners, because you will be dining alone for a long time to come. Save yourself the scene, and march out now to get your ladyfriend a great gift. You'll be glad you did!

Doily Cardigans from Paper People Clothing

We have a lot of these great cardigans in stock- not exactly like this one, of course.... part of the fun is that they are one-of-a-kind! So you'll have to come in and see what we have, and the best news is, they are only $45! See you at the shop tomorrow! (Don't forget to pick up a belt from Embody, to finish off the look!)

Houndstooth, greyhounds and paw prints...

What a fun coincidence to find this paw print skirt from Desserts and Skirts in colors to match the houndstooth top from Fresh Baked Goods. We couldn't resist the greyhound necklace from Odd Bird to finish off the outfit!

Dots and stripes.... why not?

The crazy scarf from Fresh Baked Goods picks up some of the colors in the dots, and a coat from Momiji finishes off the outfit in style.

Just look how stylish!

This top by Mandala is tied in to the mix of prints below with the felted pin by Keri Rounding on the neck. Just enough, but not too much going on in this outfit!

Mix prints and fabrics with confidence!


When the tones are similar, you can mix and match with ease. We've got a belt from Embody, a skirt from Fresh Baked Goods, and a coat from Momiji in this outfit.

The Milkmaid Dress

One of the designers at Fresh Collective started to refer to this dress as the "Milkmaid dress" because of the lovely neckline, and if the name fits.... wear the dress! All our Fresh Baked Goods dresses are super wearable, and equally washable, I'm proud to say! I can't stand when I buy something and it never fits the same after the first wash, which is why we go to a lot of extra work to pre-wash our fabrics. Our dresses are wash and wear, and wear and wear, because of this. Totally pre-shrunk, they can totally go in the drier.... our dresses will be your favorites for years! We have so many customers collect our dresses in all the colors, prints and styles season after season, because they know out cuts flatter, the styles are wearable, and they last and last!

Amoeba Pins

I love these Amoeba Pins by artist Keri Rounding. She's also make the felt "Tentacles Pins" which I just can't get enough of! We've got a great selection of her stuff in stock right now, and she's always busy making more on Tuesdays when she takes her turn running the shop.

Black and Red-y to go!

Go out and have some fun in this cute outfit! The little jacket is from Mandala Designs, and would be great for fun or work, depending on what you wear it with. The skirt is Fresh Baked Goods, and it's a great fit, skimming your curves through the hips and flaring out just enough at the bottom. We topped it off with a necklace from Odd Bird.

Perfectly coordinated!


Right down to the two color necklace, this brown and pink outfit just works! Great for a fun date, or to meet the gals for a drink. Top and shrug by Fresh Baked Goods, skirt by Mandala Designs and necklace by Precious Pink.

Flirty Peek-a-boo sweater dress

Paper People Clothing makes great sweater dresses, which look amazing over leggings or skinny jeans, or just with tights! Add accessories, like this belt by Paper People Clothing, a cluster of pins, or a choker necklace to make it different each time you wear it.

Cute Tops by Utility Grade


Images are silkscreened, then handpainted by artist Frederica Tomas. She sews them on to tops, tees, tanks and hoodies, with her special windowpane technique, making each shirt a wearable work of art. We have lots of tops in stock, and lots of sale right now, so come on in to check it out!

Paper People Clothing Sweaters

The temperature has taken a nosedive, so it's time to stock up on cozy sweaters to get you through the coming months. Cute and cozy sweaters like these make winter a lot more fun, and make me want to sit by a fire with a hot chocolate! Shown with a Mandala skirt and belt.

Yes, we have super cute tops in stock (and on sale!)

Here's just one of the great and super popular Candi Factory tops! Shown with a polar fleece Whirl Girl wrap skirt, both items shown are now 20% off!

Fun and Funky in Black and Turquoise

This is a great dress by Fresh Baked Goods, in printed corduroy! A favorite feature- pockets! So cute and casual, yet easy to dress up a bit with accessories like the shrug shown here, and the necklace by Odd Bird.

Layers of necklaces

Accessories are better in pairs. Why not mix and match two fun necklaces in the same tones? These turquoise cubes from Precious Pink Designs go perfectly with the birds from Odd Bird Designs.

Smartie Pants!

Cute and fun undies make a great treat for those mid-winter blues. $16 each or 2 for $28! Go ahead, you deserve a little pick-me-up!
