Well friends, obviously I love this dress, and long-time friends know why; does this dress look like it's from the future OR WHAT! I feel like we have to be careful with colour blocking because sometimes the combos can look a little cartoonish. But the combo of black and cream here is elegant and just bperfect! The boxy shape makes it look a bit more casual and like it doesn't take itself too seriously. And, oh yeah, it's from our fave, Oak+Fort!!
Oak+Fort dress; Size M, $42
And can you see this zipper detail across the skirting? It's just there to be cool; it is completely non-functional as a zipper....keep being you, Oak+Fort!
This awesome raincoat from J Crew is not pretending to be something it's not, it is straight up just hangout, being a raincoat. Which you think could be boring, but....
J Crew coat; Size 8, $45
...these saftey-hook clasps are just enough to punch it up! I love the contrast of the industrial rigging all glammed up in brushed gold! (The coat has a zipper too...they thought of everything!)
Look what I found in the mens' section? A Burberry shirt!
Burberry Brit shirt; Size M, $62
Adorable red Miz Mooz boots to carry us through the grueling last weeks of winter weather:
Miz Mooz boots; S7.5, $48
Just so much Kate Spade revolving through the shop lately, friends! This one still has its tags! I actually love the busy-ness of this print; the colours are easy to work with, and it's sophistiacted while also being distinctive.
Kate Spade skirt; Size 6, $82
Friends, I kept coming back to this top, there is something so feminine and breezy about it. I love the tunic shape...
Max Studio top; Size M, $28
...and these flowy trumpet sleeves!
And the print is gorgeous. All around, this one is mesmorizing and stunning!
Ok, here is one of my favourite tags this week:
And here's its linen dress (with pockets!):
Mermaid tag dress; Size S, $30
Weeeeeeeeee, check out this awesome romper!!! I think this is the nicest one I've ever seen! The colour is elegant, the pleats give it some structure and the bishop sleeves remind everyone that you are still a grown up! This is something a contestant on The Bachelor would wear to a cocktail party to hang out with all her friends until a producer forces her to talk to the boring bachelor, amiright?
Topshop romper; Size S, $28
I don't think we've ever talk about this, but I am kinda a sucker for calf-hair hand-bags! This one is the Servant tote from Pour la Victoire! (Come to the shop and pet it!)
Pour la Victoire purse, $65
It's the little things here, friends! You know I enjoy a jockey cuff (because pants with jockey cuff possibly come from the future!) (I'm not even kidding, friends, this is the actual reason I like jockey cuffs), and that fuchsia drawstring totally makes me smile!
Maison Scotch pants; Size M, $32
What else makes me smile? The tag!
Les bon vivants!
More fuschia!
Birkenstock sandals; S8, $42
Lovely yellow top from Edmonton's-loss Loft 82. We'll never forget you, Loft 82!
Loft 82 top (NWT); Size M, $36
This skirt is just too fun!
J Crew skirt (NWT); Size 4, $30
The backroom is getting so Spring-ey these days, and turnover in the shop is just bananas. I barely know where to look! I'll be in all day Saturday and Sunday again this weekend if you want to come say hi!
