Vince Does Blue

As mentioned in a previous blog, blue is the colour of the season, and Vince, being the fashion leader that it is, decided to jump on this trend. One of their many interpretations is the "Twist Seam Crew Neck Sweater" in Eclipse.

This long sleeved, sheer knit top with it's widened neckline, dropped shoulders, and twisted seam detailing is the perfect way of introducing this very popular colour into your fall/winter wardrobe.

Glamorama To The Max!!!

"Fur Trim Cardigan" in Black

Speechless. LOVE it with a basic tee and leather pants...what else do you need?!? All I can say is I'm glad I have mine!!!

7FAM: New Body

We'd like to introduce you all to 7FAM's newest body: the "Slim Cigarette." These jeans are essentially a relaxed skinny leg...slim through the hip and thigh, but definitely not a legging. It's shorter inseam gives off a cleaner, more polished look...perfect length for flats, boots, and/or heels.

*If you're a fan of Ags, these are very similar to the "Stilt."

Cobalt, Cobalt, Cobalt

If you've picked up any magazine of late, or subscribe to any of the gazillion fashion bloggers out there, you're sure to know that cobalt blue is THE colour of the season! As we know, 7FAM is not about to let a trend pass them by...introducing the "Skinny" in Bright Cobalt.

Ugg

"Calynda" in Fawn

Stay warm and fashionable this winter with Ugg's latest "fashion" boot: the "Calynda" in Fawn. With its suede body, fold over lace up style, round distressed toe, and Italian boiled wool lining, these will be in constant rotation this season and beyond!

Oh My...

7FAM's classic "Skinny" in Black Velvet with Gold Foil Brocade is nothing short of spectacular! Pair these with a simple cashmere sweater and boots, and you're sure to get noticed!!!

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! Seriously obsessed with these!!!

Rebecca Taylor

I love it when we receive Rebecca Taylor; she can always be counted on for something fabulous whether it be a great silk blouse or an incredible dress. Hers is a collection somewhere between rocker chic and girly girl, categories we all belong to in one way or another. The following are some of my top picks:

"Crocodile Tee" in Leche

I love the "Crocodile Tee" in Leche...so simple, yet with incredible detail. Everything about it screams chic to me, from the sheer neckline and cap sleeves, to the tonal croc print body. Throw this top on under your favourite leather jacket, skinnies, and platform booties, and you'll be the best dressed girl anywhere!!!

"Camille Floral Blouse" in Sand

As many, if not ALL of you know, I adore silk and anything girly, so it should come as no surprise that the "Camille Floral Blouse" in Sand is on the top of my "pick" list. I love the sheer, silk chiffon fabric married with the heather grey trim...perfect mix of dressy and casual. This top would be an easy no brainer for lunch with the girls, or a day of errand running.

"Leopard Wool Shift" in Heather Grey

I absolutely adore the "Leopard Wool Shift" in Heather Grey!!! Its mod silhouette is modernized with both leopard print and leather detailing. How fabulous does it look paired with booties?!? ADORABLE.

Paige's Pick: A Stormy Story

It's that time of year again, you know, the time when the leaves change, the wind picks up, and the coolness of fall sets in - you know, the time we ALL dread. Luckily, with this time of year, comes a very exciting switch to fall clothing: that is, boots, scarves, over sized sweaters, and leather jackets! How can you possibly be sad about the weather now?!? This week's "Paige's Pick" is one of my faves ever; it consists of boots, an over sized sweater, and a scarf! I started with Line's "Divider" sweater in Grey and 7FAM's "Skinny" in Black. I then added the "Kaleidoscope" sweater in Stained Glass (also from Line), and a Chan Luu scarf in Griffin. Finally, to top everything off, I added the Ugg "Gillespie" boots in Charcoal. This outfit could not be any more perfect in my eyes...what a way to face the up coming weather!

 

You can't beat this combination of ultimate comfort mixed with style!

HOH: Bangle Story

As often as we look to Nicole Richie for the clothes she wears, we also always take note of her jewellery as well. Like us, she too enjoys an arm party!!! Here are some of the latest and greatest from House Of Harlow...

"Skull End Cuff"

"Aztec Bangle"

"Palladium Crystal Pave Bangle"

I'm loving these bangles worn high up on the forearm like Ms. Richie... the perfect solution if you've got a smaller than average wrist size!

Nation Ltd.

It's always a great day around here, when we receive Nation Ltd.!!! Their tanks and tees have become the foundation of many of our wardrobes...the perfect topper when we're feeling slim, and more often than not, when we aren't!!!

"Oregon" Tee received in Espresso and Charcoal

*Also in is the "Magnolia" tee in Espresso, but this time done in a delicate knit.

Velvet: Lace

"Pita" Top in Charcoal and "Ocean" Top in Black

Because I have such a penchant for lace, I thought that the following two tops from Velvet deserved a special entry all their own: the "Pita" top in Charcoal and "Ocean" in Black. Aren't they pretty? With the subtle shimmer of the lurex, and scalloped edging of the lace, both tops are utterly delicate and feminine. Either top would be great tossed under a cropped leather jacket, or fitted blazer, and your favourite pair of skinny jeans.

Velvet...Part One

For those of you who follow us on Twitter, you already know that we received our first fall delivery of Velvet last week, and you know what that means?!? DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!! I feel that this particular delivery will present a quandary for many of you; there are just too many fabulous pieces to choose from! The following are few of my personal favourites:

"Hadara" Top in Tokyo Garden

"Monica" Top received in Sand

I LOVE the "Tempest" top (pictured below)!!! Everything about it is delish: the cut, the fit, the draping, the fact that it highlights "mixed media" to perfection!!! I'm absolutely loving this top paired with leather pants; it couldn't possibly get any better!

How gorge is the sheer back on this top?!? TO DIE!!!

 

*Although pictured in Black, we received the "Tempest" top in Grey.

What's Mabel Wearing???

Mabel's off to Hawaii!!! She just recently purchased an outfit from YU, but realized it would be perfect for those hot summer days, so off on vacation she went! (She was dying to wear it!) Mabel has on the Ella Moss "Marcell Scoop" top in Cobalt, as well as Joie's "Zandra Dress Shorts" in Caviar. She's accessorized with a variety of necklaces from of some of our favourite jewellery designers: Jocelyn Kennedy, Chan Luu, and Claudia. What's the best part of Mabel's outfit? Everything she is wearing can be worn into fall! I know she got spontaneous on us, jetting off to Hawaii for the sole purpose of wearing her outfit, but she's just as excited to come back and wear the "Marcell Scoop" top with a pair of skinny jeans, boots, and a cropped leather jacket. She also can't wait to wear her "Zandra Dress Shorts" with a pair of tights, long sleeve sweater, scarf, and booties. You just can't beat those year round pieces in your closet!



Starry, Starry Night!!!

We love stars, and apparently, so does the design team at Maison Scotch! Just in is the "Fancy Star" top in Black...super adorable, and easy to wear. The stars themselves are laser cut into the fabric (NOT a print), so have fun and layer with a coloured tank, OR fabulous bra if you dare!

"Fancy Star" Top received in Black

Dolce Cabo

We're so ecstatic to welcome Dolce Cabo into the Yu Fashion family!!! Founded in Los Angeles, California in 1999, Dolce Cabo is one of  North America's leading women's knitwear manufacturers. They use superior craftsmanship and materials to create the most exquisite quality knits, ALWAYS with an innovative edge.

Words cannot aderquately describe how lush and beautiful these furs are. Not only do they look fab, but they're also thin enough to be layered under a heavier coat for added warmth. LOVE these!!!

Brrrr, It's Cold Outside!!!

Despite the beautiful sunshine, there most definitely is a bite in the air. No worries though, to soften the chill brought on by colder weather, we've just received another gorgeous sweater from Line: the "Kaleidoscope" in Stained Glass.

Yes, it's as yummy as it looks!!!

Jessie's Diary

Greetings from across the pond! I can't believe I have already been in London for 3 weeks; it has been a crazy whirlwind that's for sure! So many things to do, places to see, and stores to browse (and of course, school must fit in somewhere as well). Yu Fashion will always hold a special place in my heart, so I thought a monthly "diary" would be a great way to stay in touch, and share some of my favorite things/experiences.

So, for those of you who don't know, I am doing an MA in Fashion Retail at the London College of Fashion (I just found out that Jimmy Choo is a former graduate!!!). My campus is located right in the heart of downtown London, and so far I love it! My first assignment was to walk down Regent Street (one of London's most notorious shopping districts) and evaluate the stores based on the level of customer service they provided...it also gave me the opportunity to do some major shopping of my own! 

Aside from school and shopping, I have also gone to some amazing museums, my favorite being the Victoria and Albert museum (this museum is entirely dedicated to fashion). An amazing exhibit of ball gowns from the 1950's to 2011 were on display...so glamorous!

Can't you imagine Diane twirling around the store in this number? 

Stay tuned for more posts from across the pond...once a Yu girl, always a Yu girl!!! xoxo Jessie

 

Maison Scotch

If you thought your fall wardrobe was finally stocked...think again! A girl's wardrobe is never complete, especially with the new pieces we just received from Maison Scotch! They both fall in the essential fall colour pallet, and thus are perfect additions to your closet!!

 

"Kimono Print Dress" in Multi

"Silky Breton Striped Top" in Navy/Black

 

The picture of  the "Kimono Print Dress" doesn't do the print any justice, you'll have to come in and see for yourself! Since the weather is a bit forgiving right now, I see this dress with a big, black floppy hat and distressed brown leather boots. As it cools down, pair this dress with tights, your favourite pair of black booties, and you're good to go!

Ugg

We're all brimming with excitement over Ugg's latest bootie: the "Jamison." With its platform front, cone shaped heel, and whip stitch detailing, these booties are the perfect mix of high fashion looks and "real life" wearability...fabulous!!!

"Jamison" in Black

 With ankle length jeans being all the rage, and dresses being worn more frequently into the fall and winter months, these booties will be a constant grab!

L.A.M.B.

So far as celebrity labels are concerned, I don't think there is another "star," except maybe Nicole Richie, whose own image is sooooo evident in their clothing line. I really believe that she would wear, and can actually see Gwen in each of the pieces she designs. The following are just some of the latest and greatest gems from L.A.M.B. Enjoy...

"Block Print Blouse" in Red/Black

"Block Print Blouse" (Back)

"Dip Dyed Top" in Ivory

"Mixed Media Blazer" in Black/Ivory

I am loving the "Mixed Media Blazer" in Black/Ivory!!! Everything about it is spectacular: the cut, the colour, the fit, the leather pockets...STUNNING!!! Can't wait to see this with a simple white tank, leather jeans, and boots!!! Such a modern take on an equestrian inspired jacket! TO DIE.
