CELEB LOOK-A-LIKES!

Monday, November 28th, 2011

OMG, lol. We stumbled upon this hilarious collection of celebrity look-a-likes on New York Daily News dot com. As you scroll through you will be in awe at how many celebs really do look identical and you’ll find yourself asking ‘How did i not notice this before??’. What’s even more hilarious is that they throw in some cartoons that look like Hollywood’s stars. Here are some staff fav’s:

Looking to kill some time at the office? We were engulfed and couldn’t stop scrolling… 52 photos later… We’re sure that some will have you literally laughing out loud, just be careful your boss doesn’t hear you! Here’s the link so you can see all of them in all of their glory. Happy browsing Roadtrippers,

Winter Minnetonka

Friday, November 25th, 2011

You were not kidding when you said you wanted more Minnetonka moccasins! In fact, you ladies cleaned us out almost as soon as we put them out on the shelves last month so we made it our mission to restock. Now we have tons of sizes of these crazy comfortable shoes and even a couple of new styles to add to the team. Check out the new ones we brought in:

We already have them in black and brown but these snow-appropriate mocs were so popular that we brought on the grey ones too. They are so fluffy and warm on the inside that you’ll never want to take them off!

You asked, we listened. We received a new style of the original mock but now with beading. Vraiment adorable!

If this winter you can’t get a dose of Uggcitrin (the vaccine for Ugg boots), then consider this a safe alternative to elephant feet. They are the perfect everyday shoe, ankle boot, and snow boot. Once you’ve had a pair you’ll be hooked, and now we have loads of sizes to satisfy your Minnetonka needs. If last month was any indication of how fast these shoes move then we suggest that you make it down to the store quick as a bunny to ensure you get what you need. See you soon!

BB Dakota and JACK for the Holidays

Monday, November 21st, 2011

We just got hit with an absolutely fantastic new shipment from two of our most favourite brands, BB Dakota and Jack. Although owned by the same company the two brands exude femininity in different ways. BB Dakota is all about celebrating the classic glamour girl like Audrey Hepburn. The lines are clean, cute, and super versatile. Most pieces will take you from the office with a cardigan to a dinner date or dancing later in the evening. Jack gives classic femininity a modern twist that will suit your everyday fashionista needs. The colours are bolder and edgier, but both brands will surely make there way in to your heart if they haven’t already.

What we love about these dresses is that they can sneakily be worn during the day with cardigans or blazers, but when the time comes you can wow people with the strategic and sexy cutouts. These are also great for holiday parties!

We were holding out in the skirt department because we were just waiting for these adorable goodies. The lace overlay is classic yet modern and perfect for almost any occasion when paired with the right top. And we can’t get enough of this 1920′s inspired number!

These floppy blouses are so comfortable yet completely structured. They look best with a pair of slim fit trousers or skinny jeans and a long necklace. Sweaters are killer because they can be dressed up or down, plus are so delicate-looking and sweet.

Can you say New Years Eve? These sequinned blazers make us drool. They are so beautiful, they will bring to attention to you without being too too flashy. We have very limited sizes in this style, so get them while they’re hot!

Beautiful, just beautiful! We love every single piece that arrived from these guys and we know that you will too. The holidays, (and their affiliated parties), are just around the corner, so it’s time to gear up on things. Come on down to the store and check out all the new styles we are continuously bringing at ya. See you down in the market ladies,

New Bright, Shiny, and Fun Jewelry

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

You cleaned us out of almost all of our fun, statement-making, jewelry so we had no choice but to bring in a whole bunch more. The necklaces are the kind of pieces that perfectly accentuate your special event outfit but can just as easily be worn with something as casual as a t-shirt. The earrings are to die for, lots of colours, studs and dangly ones, styles for every occasion. And in addition to our bright and bubbly bangle collection we brought on some more subtle and cute bracelets that will become a staple in your everyday accessorizing. Here is just a taste of what was delivered at the store:

There’s a lot more where that came from- so many beauties at a really affordable price! Come on in to the store and try on the new stuff, find your ultimate accessory, or the perfect gift for that glam girl in your life. See you down at the store,
