Hair Jewelry by Deepa

Friday, September 30th, 2011

A real customer favourite has just been restocked at the store; this year’s new Deepa headbands are in and they are seriously beautiful. These hand-made, Swaroski encrusted, headbands are so unique and eye catching that they should be considered more as jewellery then a hair accessory. They can be worn as part of a formal outfit for a big event or you can just throw them on any time you’re wearing a t-shirt to spice up your everyday outfit. Here are some of the new ones:


Gorgeous! And so sparkly! Can’t figure out what to get your friend for her birthday? This is the perfect gift for all noggins, they stretch enough for bigger heads and can be knotted for those with smaller heads. Come on down to the store and frost yourself with the unique and adorable pieces of jewellery or pick one up for a friend :) See you soon,

Penguin F/W 2011 Campaign Video

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

You’ve definitely heard about Penguin, you know the brand, you watched Seth wear it on the OC… don’t lie.  So you know it’s great and you know that it is one of America’s longest standing clothing brands that is always evolving. They just put out a video for their Fall 2011 collection which encapsulates what they think they are all about and the lifestyle they picture Penguin wearers would subscribe to.

Look how much fun they’re having! Such a supermodel party. You can look this good and have just as much fun doing it wearing all the cool threads we keep down at the store from this historic brand. Party on Roadtrippers!

Men’s + Women’s Spiewak 2011/2012

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

We have such immense success with these winter jackets from Spiewak that we had no choice but to bring them all back and then some for this year. Spiewak is a brand that has been around since 1904, so you know they’re legit in the coat department. They use Thinsulate to line their jackets, which is warmer than goose down and has a fraction of the volume. That means you will stay uber warm this winter without looking like an orange on a toothpick, sweet! Here’s what we brought in for both the boys and the girls:

What a unique colour, we love it! If you’re looking for a departure from the typical grey or black coat, then this one might be right up your alley. Little details like the oversized buttons are what make these jackets so one-of-a-kind.


These guys are both practical- because they are exceptionally warm, and functional- because they’re going to look great casually or over your suits.


A classic look with a modern twist.


These are SO cute and SO warm! They’re the perfect winter and we only get a couple of each size in so you can be sure that you won’t be walking around in a sea of a million girls wearing the same jacket as you, so original.

If you’re looking for a quality outerwear brand with fantastic style, then look no further- Spiewak is just what the doctor ordered. They’re commitment to the industry and long-standing name in quality is so aptly displayed in this season’s collection of jackets. It’s an investment that you won’t regret, so come on down and see which one looks best on you! See you soon,

BB Dakota Tux Blazers

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Trend Alert!  Tuxedo blazers are the new ‘it’ item and they are growing in popularity around the globe as we speak. The good news? We just brought in what we think are the top of the crop in terms of style, colour, versatility, and price point… your welcome ;) Say hello to the BB Dakota ‘Trail Blazer’, it’s business in the front and prince charming in the back with fun little coat tails.  We brought in this must-have layering piece in black and brown and we have a million ideas as to how you can wear this little number dressed up or dressed down. Check it out!

In it’s most dressed-down possibility, we paired the blazer with this floral tee from Lucy Love and a pair of Fidelity jeans on Anjali.  Throw on some flats and you are casual while still looking put together.

An example of how you could wear this in a business casual way to the office is with a tie-neck blouse like this purple one that Jordanna is wearing. Pair this with a high-waisted skirt or dress pant and an “i mean business” purse and you’re good to go.

I threw this deluxe tux blazer over a more formal, full-skirted, dress for a dressed-up look. It goes well with something as voluminous as this but looks just as fantastic with a form-fitting cocktail dress or maxi. So many looks, so little time!

There you have it, the blazer that can go so many different ways. No wonder it’s this year’s hottest piece! We have a variety of sizes so come on down and pick up one of these versatile new tuxedo blazers for yourself. You will be amazed at how much use you will get out of something like this. See you ladies down at the store!

Autumn Lorelai 2011

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

You can’t get enough of it, we can get enough of it- so we brought even more new Lorelai in to the store. Fall shouldn’t mean less colour, it should mean different colour and that’s where this brand hits it on the mark. Gorgeous subdued jewel tones will help you stand out without making you look out of season. And we can’t say it enough, it’s about pieces that you can wear with bare legs while it’s still a little bit warm and then being able to  pair them with tights and a blazer or cardi for the fall and winter. This is the new stuff:

See what we mean about the colour thing? These are totally fall and winter appropriate without being drab and neutral, in fact- they’re the total opposite of that. So If you’re ready to knock ‘em dead at your next cocktail party or you want to wow them at the office every day, then come on down and check out our new customer-favourite brand. Hope you’re soaking up that sun while it’s still hot!
