Leopard print, geometric pattern, lace, AND a wristful of blingy baubles...PERFECTION!!!

It feels sooooo good sending our Yu girls out into the world!!! Thanks for the great representation!

Vince

Dolman Boat Neck Sweater received in Oceanic

Just in from Vince is the "Dolman Boat Neck" sweater in Oceanic. This super soft, relaxed top, with dolman sleeves and boat neck line, is THE perfect piece to throw on when you're in the mood for something cozy!

MEOW!!!

LOVE these!!! Pair them with a leather jacket, Nation tee, and motorcycle boots for an edgy look, or to "dress" them up, switch the boots out for some fabulous red shoes...Grrrr!!!

Stretchy "Premiere"

Premiere Jeans in Stella

Good news for those of you who love stretch in your jeans! We just received the "Premiere" jean in Stella: a super stretchy, dark denim. Because of it's cut, a skinny straight leg, these jeans would be great worn with flats, or tucked into boots.

*To quote an owner of these jeans, "They're dreamily delicious!!!" Need I say more???

Finally!!!

The wait is over, we now have coloured denim!!! The AG "Stilts" have arrived in Dark Teal and Deep Purple. So far, they've been a huge hit with everyone...super rich colour and incredibly soft. MAH-JOR!!!

*Lola, do you  think you could try this?!?

Paige's Pick: Heartloom "Cameron" Shirt

This week's pick is meant for all you glamazons! The "Cameron" shirt is great paired with leggings and boots, or jeans and flats. Both looks are meant to add some fun and pattern to your every day, day-time style. Although the pictures show a simple look, I recommend layering bracelets upon bracelets with these outfits...adding big earrings to the mix will dress the look up even more. You'll be looking sleek and chic in these day-time glam looks!

Gold Snake Print Skinny

The Skinny in Gold Snake

Metallic gold detailing and snake print....YES PLEASE!  Seven For All Mankind has out done themselves with this glamorous pant. Pair with sky high heels, and you'll definitely be turning heads!

What's Mabel Wearing???

Mabel's outfit this week is a cross between modern-cool and glamour-diva. She's all glittered out wearing a Heartloom sequin tank under a sequin Line cardigan. Because of the ultra glitzy tank and cardigan, this look is finished off with glam pieces from Claudia, along with a Jocelyn Kennedy Swarovski crystal pendent. With the shimmer of the sequins, and sparkle of the Claudia necklaces, this is one high-fashion stylista!

We "Heart" Funktional!!!

Funktional always comes up with the most unique pieces, and boy, did they deliver this season!!! Each piece elicited "ooohhs" and "aaahhs" all around!!! Here are some of our faves:

The following is my favourite piece of the whole grouping: the "Mullins" dress in Navy. Tell me it's not absolutely "to-die" for!!! LOVE it.

New Belts From Brave

Good news for all you belt lovers out there...We just received a shipment from Brave Leather, and the belts are all outstanding!!!

Narrow ones, wide ones, printed ones...we have them all. Come have a look before they're all gone.

The "Dai Hairy" (Leopard) belt is my favourite!!! Adorable!

Introducing Heartloom

Heartloom is a new brand we have brought to YU Fashion. Based out of New York, Heartloom is for those who like a "casual, cool, yet modern" look much like all the west coast celebrities we follow in Us Weekly and In Touch! Heartloom is a cross between Yu's favorite brands: Joie, Vince, Graham & Spencer, and Free People. The best part about this brand is it's versatility; it is quite easy to take an item from the Heartloom collection, and wear it both during the day and at night...It is definitely a brand we could all use more of! Here's a sample of the items we received:

"Britt" Dress Received in Gunmetal
"Yolanda" Tank Received in Gunmetal
"Taylor" Tank Received in Black
"Cameron" Shirt Received in Black

Happy Holidays From Splendid

Splendid, well-known for their use of stripes, has decided to do one for the holiday season!!! Their "Lurex Crop" top in Navy, has threads of lurex woven into the fabric interjecting some festive cheer into your casual dressing...always a good thing in my book!!!

Day To Night Dressing

It's getting to be that time of year when the invites for "after work" functions seem to be pouring in. Without much time to spare between day and night functions, it makes sense to be dressed in something that would work for both; we like to refer to this as "double duty" pieces. Ella Moss' "Amie" dress is a must-have for the girl with a loaded calendar.

Throw a blazer on over top, add some tights, and ballet flats, and you've got an uber cute work outfit...replace the blazer with a leather jacket, and ballet flats with platform pumps, and you're ready for a night on the town!!!

*We received this dress in Black.

Look What (Who) The Wind Blew In???

You can always count on Claire to make a fashion statement...

Scarf, check. Fur, check. Animal print, check...P-U-R-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N!!! All she needs now is someone to take her out...David, are you listening?!?!

What's Mabel Wearing?

Mixing prints and textures is a great way to add some excitement to an outfit. Mabs is showing us how it's done, pairing a Free People chunky knit sweater, with FP lace shorts. This outfit wouldn't be complete without an animal print cashmere scarf from Chan Luu. To winterize this ensemble, add a pair of Plush fleece lined tights, and motorcycle boots.

** A little reminder from Mabel: Tomorrow is The Royal Glenora Christmas gift sale! It will be open to the public from 10am-3pm and for RGC members only from 9:30am-10am.This is a great chance to do some early Christmas shopping or pick up a little treat for yourself!

AG really knows how to make a great pant, so hurry in, these styles won't last.

Charlotte Tarantola

I have said it before, and I'll say it again, Charlotte is queen of the cardi. These beauties arrived today, and the combination of color, animal print, and sequins is enough to put a smile on any fashionista's face!

Merry Christmas From Ella Moss

Isn't this lovely? I adore everything about this cropped sweater from Ella Moss...love the colour, shimmer, texture, cut...everything!!! Wear it alone with jeans, or layer it over a long-sleeved tee, or dress shirt for a different look. LOVE.

*We received this in "Silver."

Karma Coin Initial Pendants

New from Jugar & Spice are these "Karma Coin Initial Pendants." They can be customized on white, yellow, and/or rose gold with diamonds. Wouldn't you like to find one of these under the Christmas tree???

*This comes with or without a chain, and can be ordered at any length.

Catherine Popesco

Once again, we are thrilled to introduce our Yu fashionistas to another fabulous line: Catherine Popesco. Catherine is a native of Paris, France, the city whose Art Noveau and Deco periods inspired her jewellery collection, "La Vie Parisienne." This collection is based on old molds and stampings, some of which were designed by celebrated artists such as Lalique, Galle, and Picasso. Not only are the Austrian crystals individually hand set, but they are all made of either "old silver," or a 14K gold finish.

Well?!? What do you think???

*Melissa, you don't have to go to Vancouver for these anymore!
