HeartLoom: Celeb Watch

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the "Blair Dress" in Blush by HeartLoom!!! This dress proves that you can be both comfortable and glamorous at the same time...wow, what a novel concept!!! Seriously, can it get any easier?!? All you need to complete this look is a pair of nude pumps and a great clutch, your "jewellery" is basically taken care of; however, if you're indeed a glamour puss, I DO believe, "more is more!"

Absolutely S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!!!

Ella Moss

 We're all super excited about the "Enchantress" dress by Ella Moss in Peony. With it's modest neckline, adorable print, rich colouration, and high-low hem, this is the perfect dress to ring in the fall. Pair it with a fitted jacket, textured tights, booties, and a grand statement of a necklace, and you're guaranteed to have tongues wagging!!!

Rebecca Minkoff

I love myself a Rebecca Minkoff bag, and my obsession of late is the "Cupid." I adore everything about this bag...the shape, size, weight, but most importantly, I LOVE the multitude of colours it comes in. As a proud owner of three of them (so far!!!), I may have to make room for yet another one...so loving the Royal!!!

7FAM

7FAM's latest "Skinny," the "Glazed Pebble Sateen" in Burgundy, is the perfect blend of two huge trends: colour and texture. These wine coloured pants have a "leathery" feel to them, which gives them an edgy vibe. Paired with a classic tee, boyfriend blazer, and a pointed toe pump, you'll be ready for just about anything!!!

LOVE the pumps, don't you?

Wildfox...White Label

Wildfox's latest White Label shipment has us all enthralled. We're loving the cozy feel, fit, and graphics on both these sweaters...L.O.V.E.

"Sequin No. 9" Sweater in Cream

"Sequin Heart" Sweater in Clean Black

Which one to get??? Both? I think so!!!

What's Wearing Mabel???

Look out ladies, we have the "Gossip Girl" of Edmonton walking through the city streets! Mabel's wearing the new Free People "Floral Lace" dress in Red Hot, along with Doma's "Cropped Suede" jacket in Sand. To accessorize this fabulous ensemble, Mabel's wearing a range of different Chan Luu necklaces, as well as a House of Harlow necklace. Finally, she threw on her favorite Rebecca Minkoff "Wallet On A Chain" purse in Red. This transitional outfit from summer to fall is perfect for this gossip queen, not to mention totally in with this season's obsession with red!

Winter Kate: Showstopper

WOW. If you're looking for that one special item to add to your closet this season, that one special "piece" to inspire, puh-leeeeeeeeze let it be this!!! Winter Kate's "Silk Crepe Beaded Jacket" in Black is, in my opinion, her statement piece of the whole collection. Throw it on over a basic tank, skinny jeans, and towering platforms for a jaw dropping, night on the town outfit, OR over a classic black sheath dress and to die for shoes for a quick, and easy update.

This is a Bohemian Princess' "must have" item, will it be yours?

Winter Kate

I hate to sound like a broken record, but once again, I'm going to say it: "I LOVE Winter Kate!" I really can't think of anyone who does "Boho Glam" better than she does. The latest pieces from her collection have a vintage-y, old world glamour vibe to them. I see each and every piece with dark skinnies, and/or leather pants, sky high booties, and tons and tons of BIG, BOLD, GOLD jewellery!!!

"Silk Crepe Deep V Crossover Top" in Teal Ink

"Silk Crepe Printed Top" in Cobalt/Olive

If you really want to channel Ms. Richie, throw on a big floppy hat and super over sized sunnies!!!

Maison Scotch

So much fall stuff, so little time! Just in from Maison Scotch is their new fall collection! We have  tons of awesome pieces, everything from super casual to dressy...we have it all!!! Here's a preview of some of the goodies:



"Basic Boxy Fit" Top in Red Combo



"Double Layer Silk" Blouse in Black



"Cashmere Mix" Sweater in Black

Come in for a closer look at the collection; I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Autumn Cashmere

The time for cozy sweaters has come, and so has a shipment of one of our favorite sweater designers, Autumn Cashmere! We received numerous pieces that are ALL casual, comfy, and effortless; all pieces are unique, some with elbow patches, and others with zippers down the back. My vision of the perfect fall outfit consists of a pair of skinny jeans, an over sized casual sweater, big comfy scarf (preferably a Chan Luu), and a pair of booties. Lucky for you, YU has all the necessary pieces to make that outfit come true! I never thought there'd come a day I said this, but can fall please hurry up?!?

"Side Button Hi/Lo" Sweater in Pebblestone



"Hi/Lo Zip Back Crew" Sweater in Banker's Grey

"V-Neck Tunic w/ Slit" Sweater in Birch

 

Talk about perfect timing!!!

7FAM Does Brocade

We just unpacked 7FAM's "Skinny" in Black Jacquard, and we're all drooling over the print!!! These are fabulous and can be styled a multitude of ways. To play up the feminine print, throw on a silky blouse, platform booties, and a neck full of sparkly gems; for an edgier approach, I suggest a graphic tee, leather jacket, motorcycle boots, and a Chan Luu scarf.

L.O.V.E.

Free People, Free People, and More Free People!

Along with the gorgeous "Floral Lace Mesh Dress," we also received a TON of other great Free People goodies! From sweaters to tees, we've got everything you need! Here are only four of the items we received (yes, there's more, WAY MORE)...



"Keep Me V Tee" in Purple Power



"Morning Bell Pullover" in Blue Moon



"Tiger Eyes" Top in Ivory




"Bright Day Jacket" in Ivory



The "Bright Day Jacket" in Ivory is absolutely to die for, but my personal favourite is the "Morning Bell Pullover" in Blue Moon. It's the coziest sweater, but with the crochet back, there's nothing ordinary about it...perfect for those university days when you need a snuggly sweater, but also want to look your best.

The Magical World of Free People

Free People is the mastermind of what I like to call "Storybook" dresses. Storybook dresses have a dreamlike quality to them, not an elaborate princess-y dress, but more ethereal and slightly whimsical...something right out of a fairytale! They have created yet another magical dress with the "Floral Mesh Lace Dress" in Red Hot.

 

 

I LOVE the colour of this dress, a gorgeous firecracker red! It injects a bold pop of unexpected wow into this girlie dress. I love the way it is styled in the pictures; the chunky wedges and socks provides a nice contrast to the dainty dress. Remember in fashion, juxtaposition makes for the most interesting outfits!!!

Line

Perfect timing...we just unpacked a box of sweaters from Line! As per usual, they did not disappoint; we received everything from classic, cashmere pullovers to boxy, over sized knits.

"Chameleon" in Charcoal

"Divider" in Charcoal and "Manipulator" in Caviar

"Infinite" in Pinot and "Billower" in Poseidon

Hurry in for a closer look!

Free People

"Willow Glen" Top in Tea

Just in from Free People is the " Willow Glen" top in Tea; I love the bohemian yet romantic vibe of it. For the perfect fall outfit, I suggest throwing it on under a cropped fur vest, dark skinnies, chocolate riding boots, and a Chan Luu scarf.

Have I mentioned how excited I am for fall?!? :)

I Heart "Heartloom"

We just received a small, but lovely grouping from Heartloom. They always seem to put forth a collection that is both feminine and edgy at the same time. The following are some of our favourites:

"Zelda" Top in Indigo

I love the "Zelda" top in Indigo. Worn under a fitted blazer, with leather skinnies, and sky high boots, it has all the makings of a jaw dropping outfit. The best part? The top is so heavily embellished that "extra" jewellery isn't a requirement...although, in my opinion, it never hurts to add!

"Brie" Dress in Ultramarine and "Sophia" Dress in Berry

If you're a fan of dresses, you're going to love both the "Brie" in Ultramarine and "Sophia" in Berry. Top either dress off with a cropped leather jacket, tights, and booties for a fabulous day to evening look.

L.A.M.B.

We LOOOOOOOOOOOVE Gwen Stefani!!! There couldn't be a better spokes model for the girlie girl/rocker chic set. She is the perfect mix of both, and so is L.A.M.B., her eponymous clothing line. The following is a small sampling of the pieces we just received:

"Silk Gauze Top" and "Triacetate Pant" in Black

"Hounds Tooth Cocoon Sweater" in Multi and "Mohair Striped Cocoon" in Purple/Gray

Come on in for a closer look, you will NOT be disappointed!

A.D.D.

A.D.D. has developed somewhat of a cult following here at the store. With their amazing designs, fabric, and attention to detail its no wonder why. Here are two of the styles we just received:

"Fur Border" Coat in Black

"Icon" Coat in Tree

My favourite, of course, is the "Fur Border" coat in Black; the detachable fur collar gives the jacket just that little bit of something extra.Throw this on over a lightweight sweater, skinny jeans, and your favourite pair of Uggs, and you won't even mind that you're about to spend endless hours at the hockey rink!

Who says you can't be practical and stylish at the same time?!?

Great "Basic"

Along with some of our fave Joie pieces that were replenished last week, was this beauty: the "Mellea" blouse in New Moon. With graduated pleats framing its button placket, this semi-sheer, collarless, silk crepe blouse provides the perfect backdrop to this season's must have furs and jackets.

Remember, "basics" belong in every fashionista's closet!

Look Of The Day

Look who the sun brought in?!? Jackie, a long time Yu girl, is shown here in Rebecca Taylor's "Nailhead Tee" in Eclipse and AG's "Leatherette Legging" in Black...one of my favourite looks this season. Who needs accessories when you've got the cutest little guy evvvvveeeeeeeeer?!? TO-DIE!!!

Congrats Jackie, he's a gem!!!
