Ella Moss: Neutral Goddess


You can always count on Ella Moss to do a great maxi dress, they haven't disappointed us yet! Their "Zadie Maxi Dress" in Black is perfect for those of you who still think colour is a foreign concept :) Maybe a turquoise necklace, or bracelet with this dress seems more palatable?!? Also, an added bonus...this dress is absolutely bra friendly, which is always a good thing!!!

Wildfox Cont'd...

"Need Ride To The Mall Baggy Beach Jumper" in Chill Pill

We all love Wildfox for their "Baggy Beach Jumpers." There are few things in this world more comfortable...soooooooooo we just HAD to do them in an array of graphics including the "Need Ride To The Mall" (pictured above) sweatshirt in Chill Pill. These are the most cozy sweaters to hang out in, you'll never want to take them off!!!

 Also, we're used to seeing these BBJs with a crew neckline, but for all of you who favour the openness of a  "V," they now come in that style as well...hooray!!! The following are some examples of this newer, sexier look...


As always, these gems never seem to last very long, so for the greatest selection, stop by soon!!!

Wildfox: White Label


If you're in need of a little cheering up today, Wildfox has just the thing. Their "Lennon 90's Smile Sweater" in White is guaranteed to brighten your day!!! Who wouldn't smile looking at that adorable face??? With its slouchy fit, extra long sleeves, and ripped detailing throughout, this sweater definitely gives off a vintage-y, well-loved vibe. Try pairing it with a black lace brace, denim cut-offs, and fringe booties...SOOOOO boho-chic!!!

"Robyn Jacket" in Soleil

The "Robyn Jacket" in Soleil with its sun-bleached fading and perfectly placed "holes," is a fantastic update on a timeless classic. It has all the traditional details such as a fold over collar, flap chest pockets, and button tab accents at the back, but with the added edge offered by the distress marks.

Rebecca Taylor

Well, aren't we the lucky ducks? We received yet another delivery from Rebecca Taylor today, and she NEVER disappoints!

"Beaded Collar Top" in Calla Lily

"Wheat Slouchy Tee" in White

"Peplum Jacket" received in Heather Grey

No surprise here, I LOVE them all, but if I had to choose, the "Wheat Slouchy Tee" would be my favourite. I love the soft V-Neck and drapey cut...perfect topper to all your favourite skinnies, denim or otherwise!

Sundry U.S.A.

Sundry U.S.A. founded by Matthieu LeBlan is a lifestyle brand focused primarily on an "attitude that embraces diversity and non-conformity." Though French born, LeBlan was soon beckoned by the ocean and surf culture of sunny California, and soon found himself relocating there. Matthieu lives by the motto that "these are clothes to live, travel, laugh, and love (in)." They're for "free-thinkers whose level of taste fuses high and low culture,...a balance between the city's impulsive pace, and the out door's rich and fluid surroundings." Pretty cool!!!

"Light Terry Sweatshirt" received in Royal And White

If you're a fan of Wildfox, you're gonna love Sundry!!!

Britt's Must Have!!!

As per usual, there is an item in the store that I MUST HAVE!!! Are you surprised? I'm sure not, and I know my poor wallet isn't either! Anyways...the item of which I speak is Rebecca Minkoff's "Mab Tote" in
Almond!!! It's true perfection, and I'm not afraid to admit that I am madly in love with it!

This fabulous tote happens to be the perfect size for all my girly necessities, and it would fit my school books perfectly! Might I also add that it would be the perfect travel buddy!!! I've been looking for the perfect bag for quite some time, and am relieved to say I've finally found one that meets all my needs and requirements!

WARNING: There may be faint traces of drool on this bag, and I cannot promise that the drool doesn't belong to me!

Introducing...


We ALL love Chan Luu scarves, that's not a secret, but there's always room in a fashionistas' closet for just one more brand...introducing LEIGH & LUCA. LEIGH & LUCA is a collaboration between Australian entrepreneur, Gillian Leigh, and award-winning European fashion designer, Susann Luca. Although a scarf brand, they are "much more than (that), LEIGH & LUCA pieces are highly addictive expressions of individual style....(Their) alluring collection captures the essence of ancient spiritual cloth with modern motifs and patterns, season after season."

These scarves are essentially luxurious wearable art that have been inspired by exotic locales such as Asia and Africa. "Each piece is woven on antique wooden looms using the highest quality cashmeres, silks and cottons....Embellished with innovative hand embroidery, printing, and flocking techniques, the oversized scarves are made with love in Inner Mongolia." So, there you have it...is their room in your closet for yet another "must have" label? I THINK SO!!!

"Calla Lilly Square Scarf" received in Nude/Grey

"Hummingbird Square Scarf" in White/Pink

"Peacock Scribble Scarf" in Sand/Aqua

I looooove the "Hummingbird Square Scarf." Such a fabulous way to incorporate colour!!! Couldn't you picture it with a white tank, denim shorts, and flip flops??? Can't wait!

More Splendid

In addition to the "Ditzy Chambray Tank," we also received a number of other goodies from Splendid. As always, all the pieces are incredibly soft and easy to wear. The following is just a small sampling of what we got in:

"Eiffel Melange Tank" received in Pewter

"St. Tropez Hi-Lo Maxi Dress" received in Dahlia

Pop on in for a look at the entire grouping!

Splendid: Vintage Chambray

"Ditzy Chambray Tank" in Chambray

This "Ditzy Chambray Tank" by Splendid is SO adorable! Detailed with a petite floral print (I think they actually look like tiny clovers), this sleeveless chambray top has a definite vintage feel. I love it styled with white skinnies, but think it would be equally fab with coloured denim, especially all the soft hued ones, Mint in particular!!!
Share:

Parker

If your wardrobe is looking a little drab, and could use an injection of bright, "happy" colour, then this latest delivery from Parker may be right up your alley.


Either of these tops would be great paired with your favourite jeans. For an added touch of polish, top the look off with a blazer or leather jacket. I love the "Bambi Top" in Spearmint...imagine it partially tucked into dark skinnies, with a leopard print belt, and ballet flats. Uber C-H-I-C!!!


 Also, we are all currently OBSESSED with the "Prism Dress" in Black Tie-Dye; it is beyond gorgeous!!! With "leather" trim around the collar, arm holes, and strategically placed, side cut-outs, this dress is sooooo unique and special. If you've got a wedding or special function coming up, please, please, PLEASE consider this, you won't regret it!!!

7FAM: Short Story

It's hard to believe on a day like today, BUT spring IS just around the corner, and you all know what that means...shorts, shorts, shorts! 7FAM's "Mid Roll-Up Short" in Rich Dark Destroyed is part of their Vintage 7 Collection, so each hole and worn in detail, has been carefully thought out and placed...no two items will look alike.

What Do You Think???

TJ Rolheiser, one of my favourite fashionistas, stopped by this morning for a gab and shop session...LOVE those!!! We got to talking about mixing different prints and patterns when she very cheekily grabbed two Rebecca Taylor pieces, one she already owned, the other she was very close to owning, and asked me, "Do these go together?" Hmmmm, what do you think???

Good thing you're joking Teej!!! Xoxo

Vince

Prints, patterns, and graphics are all the rage this season.  Lately, when scoping out my closet for just a plain black tee, or a simple sweater to go with jeans, I realize I can't pull anything out of my closet without designs of flowers, and/or animals. No, I'm not writing this blog to announce that I am a crazy cat lady, but rather here to state the obvious: we are all in need of basics! Vince just sent us two pieces that fit our criteria of what we think are the perfect basics: the "Oversized Tee" in Black and "Linen Sweater" in White. Both of these would look awesome dressed up with leather leggings, or dressed down with a pair of your everyday favorite jeans. Have a look below at these two must haves:

What's Mabel Wearing???

Mabel is showing off her inner GIRLY GIRL these days! This week shes decided to wear Lauren Moshi's "Nancy Foil Tank" in Ballerina and Joie's "Jordyn B Blazer" in Caviar.  In addition to these fabulous pieces,  Mabel has on a ton of glitzy necklaces by Catherine Popesco and Jocelyn Kennedy. She is sparkling up a storm and catching everyone's attention as they walk by! Stereotypical girly girl I know, but we think this outfit is perfect for an afternoon spa session with the gals!

7FAM: Denim And Pearls


7FAM's "Denim Jacket with Pearl Embellishment" in Light Destroyed is the perfect balance between girly and edge. It has all the "prettiness" offered by pearl and silver studs along the front and back panels while maintaining the "edge" with just the right amount of distressing. How amazing would this jacket be as a topper to a graphic tee and lace short combo? Sooooooo good!
Share:

7FAM: Bold And Pretty Prints

If you have loads and loads of coloured and printed denim in your closet, and are worried that they may be "out" this season, rest assured...they most certainly are NOT!!! 7FAM's latest grouping of bold and pretty printed pants have us all squealing with delight...

"Slim Cigarette Pant" in Denim Tropical

"Crop Slim Cigarette" in Blk/Wht Gloss Stripe
I love the "Crop Slim Cigarette" in Black/White Gloss Stripe, aka the "Beetlejuice" pants. It's both incredibly bold and simple at the same time. I think they would look sooo chic paired with just a simple black tee and flats, BUT imagine it with a graphic tee, leather jacket, and biker boots...sooo cool!
Share:

7FAM: (Spring) White

"Slim Cigarette" in Clean White

We all know of "Winter White," but what about "Spring White?" Is there such a thing?!? According to 7FAM, there most definitely is!!! Their "Slim Cigarette" in Clean White is the most perfect pant for the upcoming spring/summer season. Roomy through the thigh, yet slim in the leg, these pants will be fabulous with all your favourite footwear...a major criteria for most of us, isn't it???
Share:

Rebecca Taylor: Spotted Peplum


Adorbs, no?!? As expected, Rebecca Taylor's design team is at the forefront of ALL that is hot and of the moment, so obviously there needed to be a peplum top of some kind...introducing the "Leopard Peplum Tee" in Grey/Black. Made of the softest jersey imaginable, this top hits and drapes at the absolute puuuuuurrrrrfect spot! Not only do I love the look of it with jeans, but can you imagine the beauty that would result from a spotted, peplum, and leather pairing?!? TO-DIE!!!
Share:

Rebecca Taylor: FAB Basics

Aside from all things lace, silky basics are my second favourite things to buy. Lucky for me, included in the Rebecca Taylor delivery are some FANTABULOUS finds:

"Racer Basic Tank" in Calla Lily

Rebecca Taylor's "Racer Basic Tank" in Calla Lily is ideal NOT only to wear on its own, but would be great companions to all your existing jackets and blazers. I'd wear mine under Joie's "Fanny" and "Elvia" tops.



I LOVE the "Lace Racer Back Tank" (above) in Black, loooooove it. It's absolute perfection in my eyes...modest V-Neck front, soft hi-lo body, and most importantly...lace detailing!!! SOOOOO pretty.

This light-weight, feminine shirt would look great with a pair of skinny jeans or denim shorts, keeping the look casual and easy. Not enough boho? Try a pair of flared jeans and wedges; this will surely bring out your inner boho-ness and maybe even a little bit of your past hippie days!

Quote Of The Day

Something happened in the store today that had us ALL in stitches!!! A loooooong time regular, and absolute store favourite stopped by today for her weekly visit, which we ALWAYS look forward to; however, I had a bit of bad news to break, so was feeling a tad nervous. I was waiting to see whether or not we could bring in a top for her which had sold out weeks ago. Needless to say, we couldn't. Although very disappointed, I said not to worry she'd "survive," to which she replied, "Of course I'll survive, I always survive, but...not very well!!!" LOL!!!

DIVA problems!!!
