Frustrated by pants that don’t fit?

What’s a “Cold-Shoulder?”

There style is called “cold-shoulder” and customers love it! Here’s why: first, it shows off a little skin without being overly exposed. AND, at practically any age, the top of the shoulder still looks good! Second, it’s bra-friendly! Lastly, it draws the eyes up toward your beautiful face :)  In our opinion, nobody does the “cold-shoulder” better than Clara Sunwoo.  Stop in today to see what’s in-stock for fall! ... read more

This Season’s “IT” Color!

The most abundant color we saw for fall is what we’d call SPICE.  Think a rusty-red or paprika.  Just about every designer we saw had some version of it!  It’s a great color because it goes perfectly back with black, brown or denim.  We also love the way it looks blended into a print because it gives your garment a POP of color! ... read more

“IT” Color for the Season!

The #1 question we get asked every season is what is the "it" color?  This season, look for NAVY.  It's everywhere!  Navy is a nice neutral that works really well with some of the hot “pop” colors of the season like yellow, lime and coral.  Navy also works nicely with two all-time favorite spring themes: nautical and polka dots! We've just received a big shipment of Clara Sunwoo that is centered around this trendy color. ... read more

EI Dishes on the Royal Wedding Gown!

Our official weigh-in on the new Princess' Wedding Dress...we LOVED IT!   We thought the gown was a perfect combination of modern sophistication and traditional feminism.  The sweetheart neckline of the bodice (which fit her lithe figure like a glove) was slightly edgy with a little cleavage.  However, the  intricate lace gave her gown  a softer, vintage look.   Very reminiscent of Grace Kelly.  Now, while we could see her in a slinky biased cut gown, we realize that her circumstances called for ... read more

Unbelievable Quantities of NEW!

One example of what came in today is the Libra Striped "Kangaroo" Top.  It's called Kangaroo because the striped panel is another layer of fabric which creates a "pouch."  ... read more
