What is the new neutral this Spring?

2012-03-23T17:01:00.007-04:00

It's fresh and sophisticated, yet soft and elegant.
The new neutral is Ivory this Spring and you will see so much of it!
JS Boutique out of Montreal has linked Ivory to amazing patterns and fancy lace.
JS Collections also featured fancy chevron sequin and burnout gold and ivory creations.
These looks are appropriate for second weddings as well as great for bridal showers.
Take a closer look at this Spring's stunning neutral ~ Ivory !

Women just wanna have .....

2012-03-17T10:24:00.010-04:00

Women just love shoes !
On a recent buying trip, I meet a wonderful group of women who had a shoe shop in Calgary.
They were laughing and telling stories as they popped on shoe after shoe.
The ladies told me their clients enjoyed the new looks of lace but adored color in their shoes.
I clicked with these women as a shoe shopper and buyer.
We all love color and care to experiment with great shoes, after all, shoes make the outfit!
I had an advantage as a retailer who sells clothing and told the women how easy it is for me to choose the right shoes after seeing the amazing clothing colors offered in a collection.
This allows me to match up styles and color options to make the outfit complete.
The ladies were great, best buying trip ever for me and they taught me that .... women just wanna have fun, I mean pumps !

BodyWrap

2012-03-04T23:24:00.004-05:00

We have all heard of Spanx - the popular under garment that was endorsed by Oprah Winfrey and become an essential undergarment in every woman's drawer.

It is said that a revolutionary fabric made right here in Canada has re vamped the girdle, made famous in the 1900's along with the corset to make the women look like their waists were 8 - 12 inches smaller than their hips.

The infamous Bodywrap made of breathable jersey, geared to warm climates has made a name for itself as a compression garment that trims the silhouette of women.

These garments can be washed and they never lose their shape or break down of fibres.

The line has introduced Bride - delicately embroidered and designed in both White and Ivory in all the classic designs. Bodywrap brings the high waisted thong and full underwear, the bodysuit, the body slip and the high waisted shorts to the bridal industry.

Stop by and take the bodywrap test today.

Twist Dress - must have dress this Spring

2012-02-15T17:05:00.000-05:00

One great dress worn in many ways and available in 28 great colors from bright and bold to stunning pastels.

"The convertible dress! Change the wrap to change the look. The Twist wrap dress is a chance to design your own dress! Available in cocktail length or full length, your bridesmaid dresses can match or each can create her own style. Your bridesmaids could even change their style part way through the day. Constructed in luxurious, hand washable matte jersey (dress is un-lined), the Twist dress packs well and is ideal for destination weddings, prom, or even your honeymoon. You could have a different look every night of your trip. The Twist dress can be wrapped in countless ways from demure to daring. From a classic Grecian column to a sexy strapless style, get many looks from the same dress." DessyGroup

A perfect Fall wedding....

2012-01-22T16:34:00.000-05:00

Here is our wedding picture from October 9, 2010. It was Thanksgiving weekend and the main colour of our wedding was copper (not easy to find!). The Dessy dresses, ties and pocket squares in butterscotch were amazing, and they all matched each other wonderfully. We bought an extra pocket square to use as a swatch and it really came in handy when planning with the hall, florist, bakery, etc. If you'd like to see a couple more pictures of the dresses to see which one you like better, 2 or 3 of these pictures (there are about 20 total posted from the day) show the dresses really well.

Take care, see you for the next wedding...
