Here’s a tip on how to maintain dark blue denim: Mix a teaspoon of vinegar with a pinch of baking soda and use this instead of detergent the first time you wash your jeans. This will set the color and keep them looking like the day you bought them!

To continue with one of our favorite trends that WE just can’t get enough of – your weekend look is all about PRINTS!
Some of you may feel you may only get a few wears from an outfit with a bright bold print such as this gorgeous Milly tunic pictured above – but contrary to what you may think it’s quite the opposite! A printed tunic is the perfect way to transition your outfit from season to season because of a tunics versatility.
Ways to wear it:
- With peep-toe pumps and a clutch for a night out (pictured above).
- With ankle booties and a leather bomber for a cool spring evening.
- Over tights and boots in the fall with a boyfriend blazer over-top.
The options are really endless – it’s all about the pairings. There is one rule you must follow when it comes to prints however… Go bold or go home!

WE are LOVING this sun!!! Hopefully this gorgeous weather stays for the weekend and you can wear this look and hit the streets. The cotton Theory button down, distressed Paige denim and canvas Longchamp give this look a cool casual feel but the shoes make it dressy enough to go into the evening. And don’t be fooled by these strappy little bad boys – you can go all day in them because Cole Haan uses Nike Air technology that will have you forgetting you’re even wearing them.
Have a great weekend!

Two words: Daring edge.
One of spring’s hottest trends – and this look nails it. A sexy stretch cotton Rebecca Taylor dress with paneling to accentuate what you have or trick the eye into thinking you do. Paired with one of the hottest shoes from the Stuart Weitzman collection this spring – the strappy ‘Tijuana’s’. Sling this Badgley Michka ‘Karen’ bag across your body and there won’t be a place you can’t get in this weekend… WE promise you.

WE’re loving the first street chic weekend look of the year! This is the perfect look as each of these items will all transition perfectly with the spring trends – where you will still see tons of skinny pants, bold bright prints, leathers and studding!

Enjoy!

Harem pants and bondage tee’s are an edgy combo of hard and soft… but those combination’s are always the best ones! WE played up the differences with these two looks by using this amazing harem pant that is brand new from our Theory line paired with a So LA bondage t-shirt and strappy Michael Kors sandals. This look will take you from dinner to the lounge to the club – and if you’re daring enough throw on a fitted blazer and wear it to work!

It’s ok to go short when it’s loose and flirty like this adorable yet sexy dress from Theory. This ruffled silk sheath is the perfect shade of charcoal grey so you could really pair it with any color accessories you want. WE piled on multi-tone chains and beads from Zuka but you could go with gold, red, teal you name it! This shoe has been a hit in past seasons when we brought it in suede and you have asked us to bring it back again so we went with patent leather. The Nike Air in it makes you feel like you aren’t even wearing a high-heel… everyone who has tried on a pair has left with it and they’ve only been in for a week!

Looks like everyone is starting to gear up for their holiday parties! Our cocktail dresses are in super-high demand and none more than this sexy little number by Nanette Lepore.
There’s not a lot to say about this dress as it pretty much speaks for itself. What WE will say however is that it is even more stunning in person. This silk shift features gorgeous parachute sleeves with peek-a-boo beaded detailing and is completely hand stitched with gorgeous ornate and crystal beading.
For those who don’t dare to go too short to that office party this can also double as a tunic and looks stunning over fitted dress pants. There are many colors in the beading that you could choose to pull from when accessorizing, WE choose to go with pewter and paired this outfit with t-strap Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes and a matching colored clutch from our ’so LA’ line.
Have fun with this one ladies!

It looks like you all loved the Donni Charm scarves and Shared T’s as they were both our biggest sellers this week!
For this look WE paired:
- A navy long sleeve ‘Shared-T’
- Navy/Grey mix Donni Charm scarf.
- Our new Bailey 44 Drumstick pants.
- One of our holiday must-haves… a Badgley Mischka messenger bag!
- Franco Sarto cowboy inspired suede and leather boots.
- One of our private label winter coats! Zahra recently wore this very coat to Toronto for the Flare Magazine 30th anniversary party and if it could keep her warm in that Toronto cold it can surely keep you warm here! She received a ton of compliments on it from some trendy Torontonians while strolling around downtown asking where they could get it – so come in and get yours!
Pair this look with any one of these great gloves shown below!

What was with the non-stop rain this week??? Our private label down coats were flying out of the stores along with the La Canadienne waterproof boots – just because the rain won’t go away doesn’t mean your style has too!
To create this look that is sure to keep you warm and dry WE used:
- A skinny Cambio chocolate brown jean
- This gorgeous orange cowl neck Maj top which actually has amazing bat-wing sleeves
- Celeb favorite – Tolani scarf
- A Longchamp messenger bag which is perfect for these rainy days on the go!
- Our private label down coat which comes in black and chocolate brown – it is impossible to be cold in one of these, but fully possible to be stylish!
- Suede La Canadienne boots which are fully waterproof – every Vancouver woman needs a pair!
Stay dry, stay warm… but most of all stay stylish!
