Fabulous European Clothes by Clarice J. at InsiderPages

Oilily is definitely an acquired taste. The colors and patterns are vibrant and the perfect antidote to gray Northwest weather. Oilily creates unique prints and then embellishes their clothes with the incredible details that European designers are known for.

They have developed a huge following on Ebay, in part because the retail prices are too expensive for most budgets. The exquiste party dresses for girls run close to $200 and the boots are as expensive. The Oilily store in Bellevue is a great place to see all the lines in person and pick up a free Oilily catalog.

PROS: Unique European quality clothes

CONS: price

Whimsical upscale apparel for newborns, kids and women.
