Twelfth Street By Cynthia Vincent

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent always delivers beautiful and timeless classics, with a hint of bohemian flair. Their most recent "drop" perfectly exemplifies the brand's free, yet sophisticated spirit!!!

"Lace Bib Peplum Blouse" in White

I'm SOOOOOOO loving the "Lace Bib Peplum Blouse" in White! Gorgeous, no?!!! I love the pairing of such a delicate and feminine blouse with edgy, leather shorts, but can't wait to see it with distressed skinnies and ankle boots...I'm ALL over the bohemian vibe of this top, FABULOUS!!!

"Wide Placket Shirt Dress" in Black

I absolutely LOVE the "Wide Placket Shirt Dress"...definitely a new contender for my favourite LBD!!! The loose and flowy fit gives it a carefree feel, while still maintaining some structure. This dress is a breath of fresh air in a world where "sexy" means tight, curve-hugging, and revealing...Cynthia Vincent proves that a combination of casual and classy CAN be sexy! Hooray to that!!! 

Happiness

These new tees from Happiness Brand sure live up to their name! How can one not smile looking at these fun, cheery tops?!!

My personal favourite is "...It's Hard to Be Me", because SERIOUSLY who hasn't thought this? The struggles we go through daily in order to look fabulous are all too real, LOL! Perfection is hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain...am I right ladies?!! ENJOY.

AG: Denim Update

Just in from AG are the "Stilt Roll Up" in 11 Years Journey and "Legging Ankle" in 11 Years Swapmeet...

"Stilt Roll Up" in 11 Years Journey

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the "Stilt Roll Up(s)"!!! These are the perfect cigarette fit, this time in a flattering cropped length giving you the perfect amount of "ankle cleavage"! Pair these with a basic tee and flip flops for an everyday, casual look, or, with a silky blouse and pointed toe pumps for a dressier option.

"Legging Ankle" in 11 Years Swapmeet

With the same cropped length, the "Legging Ankle" again gives the perfect peek of ankle, while shredded detailing gives it a feel of a vintage flea market find.

As always, AG delivers denim that you'll be LIVING in!!! You do NOT want to pass these two pairs up, especially with the spring season (soon) upon us!

What's Mabel Wearing???

 

Mabel's in absolute HEAVEN with this beautiful Joie shipment we've received!!!

Mabel has layered necklaces by Catherine Popesco and Julie Voss, with Rebecca Minkoff's "Mab Tote Mini" in Elephant as the finishing touch to her outfit. This mix of girly lace and edgy military is super stylish and makes it the perfect outfit for movie night with the girls!!!

Joie's new "Brighton Tank" in Steel is absolutely AMAZING!!! We love the neutral tones of the exotic leopard print as well as the luxe silken feel. The cut is super simple and modern, an easy body to incorporate into any existing wardrobe. Pair this top with crisp, cropped skinnies, black suede loafers, and stacks upon stacks of golden jingle jangles on your wrists for a fabulous outfit anytime, anywhere!!!

Joie: Flower Power

Spring's just around the corner, and with spring, comes FLOWERS, Joie flowers!!!

We're losing our minds over Joie's STUNNING "Annabeth Tank" in Nineties Blue and "Michi Blouse" in Caviar. They're both absolutely gorgeous, and would be perfect paired with lace shorts and heeled wedges.

"Annabeth Tank" in Nineties Blue and "Michi Blouse" in Caviar

If your man is planning on buying you flowers this Valentine's day, tell him to pick up one of these blouses instead, Joie flowers last a lot longer!!! ;P

Cargo: Have you tried the trend yet?

OMG, I'm totally LOVING Soft Joie's "Elexus Jacket" in Fatigue!!! As you know, the cargo trend is HUGE right now and will only get stronger as the season progresses; this topper is most definitely a MUST-HAVE! I love how soft and lightweight it is; the perfect layering piece all year round. The slimmer silhouette is also a plus, making for a more feminine shape. I can't wait to wear this jacket with skinnies, a graphic or striped tee, heeled booties, and a silky scarf, you?!

"Elexus Jacket" in Fatigue

Free People: ADORABLE Sweatshirt!

"Victorian Lace Pullover" in Heather Grey

Free People's new "Victorian Lace Pullover" in Heather Grey is absolutely ADORBS, a total essential piece for spring! We LOVE the contrast of the intricate crochet back mixed with the ease and simplicity of the sweatshirt front; it really makes for a great statement! I picture this cozy gem styled with our FAVE "Josephina(s)" by 7FAM and converse sneakers for a casual spring look.

"Jackilyn" in Black

Ladies, it's that time of year again, time to get that pedicure appointment booked!!! Just in from UGG are this season's MUST HAVE sandals: the "Natassia" in Gold Washed and "Jackilyn" in Black. Both wedged  beauties have a substantial platform furthering adding to their comfort. The former would be fantastic worn with cropped jeans while the latter would finish off a summer dress beautifully.

FP: Perfect Toppers

Obviously NO Free People blog entry would be complete without mentioning what they're perhaps best known for, their bohemian inspired tops. With each and every delivery, there's always a slew of them to choose from making it difficult to pick a favourite. Because of this, we've decided to "compromise" and feature our top two...

"Shellshock Top" in White and "Free World Tank" in Ivory

Both these gauzy beauties practically SCREAM summer, don't you think? I can't wait to see these paired with denim shorts, flip flops, and wrists FULL of wooden and sparkly gems!!!

FP: Romper Delight

"Shortall Linen Romper" in Chambray

If you're fortunate enough to be blessed with model gams (Jessie!!!), FP's "Shortall Linen Romper" in Chambray is an absolute MUST!!! These striped linen (short) overalls with a relaxed, slouchy fit are an ideal companion to your favourite basic tee and booties, or, pretty lace bandeau and flip flops. ADORBS.

FP: Tunic LOVE

"Skyfall Embroidered Tunic" in Black Combo

RIDICULOUSLY beautiful, no?!! There are NO words to adequately convey my obsession with FP's "Skyfall Embroidered Tunic" in Black Combo, NONE! This floral embroidered gem features a soft V-Neckline, relaxed silhouette, and my favourite detail, the bell sleeve!!! Worn alone as a dress with slouchy ankle boots, or, over a pair of denim cut-off shorts, gladiator sandals, and an arsenal of jingle jangles, this gorgeous tunic is sure to get you noticed! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

Free People: LOVE

"Lace Denim Jacket" in White

OMG, I'm totally LOVING Free People's "Lace Denim Jacket" in White!!! This classic jacket has been updated with a modern, feminine twist featuring a lace inset bodice throughout the front and back, and a super soft, cotton peplum. How to die for FABULOUS would this jacket look with a simple tank and jeans? Or, over an adorable summer dress and booties?!! Fabulosity at its finest!!!

What's Mabel Wearing???

Mabel couldn't wait to get her hands on our NEW Cuchara necklaces, so her outfit today is centered around her favorite one, the "Frozen". She loves this necklace for its edgy feel, and pop of turquoise. To compliment this stunner, Mabel has decided to wear Rebecca Taylor's "Embellished Tweed Blazer" in Cream and structured "Floral Lace Tee" in Black. She also has on Chan Luu's "Sequin Bralette" and Rebecca Minkoff's "Darcy Satchel". Although each piece is rather edgy on its own, the overall look is classy and sophisticated, the perfect outfit to wear for a night on the town!

Britty's Bargain!!! GET EXCITED!!!

Well, it appears my frequent bargain finds have given me a bit of a reputation; I've now earned my own little column, "Britty's Bargain", and this is my first "OFFICIAL" entry!!! I never thought I'd be considered a responsible shopper, but apparently, anything's possible!

This week, on our sale wall, I've discovered Line's "Nonchalant Sweater" in Cast Iron. I've liked this sweater since we first received it, but now that it's on sale, I like it even more! This sweater is such an easy piece; I love its longer length...perfect for both jeans and leggings. The initial asking price was $185, now on sale for $129.50, WHAT A DEAL!!!

Britt's Must Have!!!

This week's installment of "Britt's Must Have" also coincides with the introduction of a new and FABULOUS jewellery line, CUCHARA!!!
Based out of Toronto, Canada, CUCHARA is created and designed by Edilou Canedo. Her jewellery line,  best described "as an amalgamation of edgy and playful, with a dash of elegance...(combines) island bohemian chic and grimey city edginess (in the BEST possible way)." Combining rare gemstones, beads, and heavy chains, Canedo's work are definite pieces of art!

I am MIND BLOWN over Cuchara's "debut" collection of statement necklaces! They're absolutely STUNNING!!! I can't even begin to tell you which ones I like best because I love them ALL, and for different reasons. However, if I had to limit myself, I would pick the "Bubble" and black toned "Cherish" necklaces. I love the former for its bright pops of color, and interesting shape, the latter for its edginess and use of chain and gems.
These are SUCH great necklaces; I would definitely find a reason to wear them with everything! My fave look though, is with a leather jacket and simple tee...PERFECTION!!!

The "Bubble"

The "Cherish" in Black

I really look forward to seeing what other ones we get in, too bad my bank account doesn't feel the same way!!! :(

Wait, There's More!!!

"Striped Zip Back Crew" received in Fog/Workshirt/Cloud

Along with the AMAZING boyfriend sweater, we received a few more IRRESISTIBLE Autumn Cashmere goodies, just in time too, for the return of winter! The "Striped Zip Back Crew" sweater in Fog/Workshirt/Cloud is one of our favorites. We love its sophisticated color blocking and striped pattern. The BIG zipper in the back is a fun, playful statement that gives this sweater a touch of whimsy. 

Our FAVE feature, the zipper!!!
