A Little Viola


I know you've all been wondering when the next FSC event is taking place. If you've already received your email, you know it's Saturday, March 7th. To make space for all the ADORABLE spring pieces I'm bringing in, Fall/Winter merch will be yours for a steal!

For those of you who showed such great restraint shopping FSC - your reward has come. That coat/dress/shirt you loved but felt guilty purchasing may still be waiting for you to take it home! Make sure you attend on March 7th.

And if the winter deals didn't grab you, Calgary designer, Elina Viola, is showcasing her adorable yoga/lounge wear and ethereal summer tunics at the FSC on March 7th. Elina is best known for her gorgeous bridal and costume creations. Lucky us, she's venturing into clothes we can wear more often. Put away the passe yoga attire and rock the latest in sexy-comfy.

Ladies, if you haven't already been to Oliver & Lilly's in Vancouver, or attended a FSC trunk show featuring Oliver & Lilly's fashion, now is great time to visit this amazing Vancouver boutique.

Lou Lou magazine's City Deals is currently featuring an O&L giveaway. If you buy a pair of jeans (and trust me - you won't want to buy just one pair) you receive a free T-shirt by Alternative Basic from LA.

So get your fine butts in there and discover how great your Spring denim can look.

Feels Like Spring


Despite the weather-tease, I highly doubt spring is going to happen anytime soon.
But don't let that stop you from getting ready!! Spring fashions are hitting the shops, and the Fashionista Social Club.

If you're not quite ready to shelve the sweaters (I wouldn't) but you're feeling like a little spring, I have two words for you. Lip. Gloss.

Not any lip gloss. MAC, Plushglass lip gloss in "Fulfilled". It's the perfect, light pink/coral color and looks lovely on everyone. Buy a few and stash them in your winter coat pockets for a little hit of spring in February.

Good news! Bangles are encasing the scrawny arms of runway models everywhere this spring. Big, colorful, sparkly, you name it, bangles are big. Literally.

Love a trend for the masses. Unlike Christian Louboutin shoes, bangles are accessible to everyone.

Bangles are also a "cheap and cheerful" way to incorporate other current trends into your wardrobe. Instead of buying a canary yellow suit, try a bright, resin bangle of the same shade. Way less commitment.

You'll be seeing bangles of every description at the next FSC event. They're guiltless!
