Stand Up Collar Pleated Dress in Midnight from ShopBlaineAshley.com

As the premiere personal shopper and wardrobe stylist of Oahu, Blaine Ashley has assembled a virtual stylist’s closet in her recently launched online boutique ShopBlaineAshley.com.

In her seven years as a fashion stylist, Blaine has serviced the entire island chain as well as Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Japan.  Samples of her work may be found in People, US, OK, In Style, Sports Illustrated, Women’s Wear Daily, and American Airways magazines.   Her celebrity clients include Elizabeth Mitchell, Matthew Fox, Malia Jones, Josh Halloway, and Shannen Doherty.

After nearly a decade of experience in wardrobe styling and personal shopping, Blaine realized just how much she loves helping people play and have fun with fashion.  Launching ShopBlaineAshley.com allowed her to provide a platform to a greater audience showcasing her favorite seasonal selections from contemporary boutique designers.

Boasting an artfully edited, handpicked selection of feminine, flirty, and forward seasonal hits from the hottest new designers like Crispin & Basillio, Myne, Nanushka, and Thayer, ShopBlaineAshley.com is stocked like the closet of your favorite fashion icon full of dresses, tops, flirty skirts, and rompers.  Whether you fancy a vintage-inspired print, an antique button detail, or an unexpected color or silhouette, this boutique intends to be a virtual stylist’s closet meant for the style-seeking shopper who refuses to scour through a plethora of hit or miss trends.

We received the Stand Up Collar Pleated Dress in Midnight by Satori.  This 100% silk dress is made in Hawaii and retails for $175.

If you’re not familiar with this designer from Hawaii, now would be a good time to try.  The dress is gorgeous – simple and effortless.  It drapes beautifully, has fabulous movement, and is unbelievably comfortable.

Not being familiar with the Satori line, we weren’t sure how the sizing would work out.  This is where the beauty of this online boutique comes in – we specified my size (chest, waist, hips) and let them figure out which size to send out.  Guess what?  The size they shipped fit perfectly!

I love the understated elegance of this dress, very chic and easy to wear.  I’ve worn it as a tunic over leggings and jeans, but my favorite way to wear it is as a dress (bare legs and all).  It’s fabulous with a pair of nude-colored sandals from Jimmy Choo and some colorful bangles from Juicy Couture.

Now, if you’re afraid to order from an online boutique because you want to be able to see the color in person or you’re not sure if it will match your skin tone, here’s the other beauty of ShopBlaineAshley.com – you can ‘ask a stylist’ online and a staff stylist will help you out!  You can even ask what’s appropriate to wear to an occasion you’re planning to attend.  Whatever style question you have, ask and you shall be answered.  You can say ‘Mahalo’ to me later.  For now, click on over and check out the boutique.  Aloha!
