Spring Scarves

Scarves are always stylish and this Spring they're hotter than ever. Affordable and accessible, scarves are a great way to update your look.

If you're not sure how to wear this fashion item, check out some great online stylings at The Sartorialist or Net-A-Porter for inspiration. Or, move beyond the scarf to a TUBE, like these lovelies at Oliver & Lilly's (Vancouver).

Free T?

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.

Ali Ro Trunk Show!

My New Year's gift to my girls is an Ali Ro trunk show. I know it's January and you need a pick-me-up. A new frock is just the ticket!

Leighann from Vancouver's hottest new boutique, Oliver & Lilly's is bringing her (exclusive to Western Canada) collection of Ali Ro finery to the FSC.

Watch for your email invite and save next Saturday, January 10th to come check out the goods.

I'm In Love

....with Ali & Ro.

Girls. When you know and love fashion, it's rare to have your "hair blown back". My hair was blown back last Saturday.

Last weekend, Oliver & Lilly's took me to Vancouver to experience their fabulous new boutique and whip up a Saturday fashion frenzy.

Mission accomplished.

Oliver & Lilly's is the only retailer in Western Canada where you will find my new favorite label, Ali & Ro. Think dresses that make you feel like a lady. Think separates that are ridiculously chic and (gasp!) comfortable. I know. I couldn't believe it either.

So my Saturday consisted of the following:

• trying on the entire store, loving everything
• eating sushi snacks courtesy of, the always cheeky, Darren
• admiring the fabulous customers who actually arrived with new shoes to try with O&L styles (LOVE that)
• dishing with Jen about how amazing the clients looked (it's so much fun helping people shine)
• watching Leighann work her special kind of magic - you MUST experience it first hand.
  

A Saturday in Vancity does not get better.

Too Many Coats? Never!

Awhile back I promised a blog entry on my recommendations for selection of that VERY important wardrobe item, the coat. So here it is, just not on the FSC blog.

Check out my guest post at Oliver & Lilly's for the details. And if you're in Vancouver, set yourself up with some outerwear-finery from O&L's (like the unbelievably adorable coat featured above)!

Shameless Self Promotion

Oliver and Lilly's is a new, and totally fabulous, boutique in Vancouver.

I recently had the chance to catch up with O&L's owner, Leighann Boquist, who picked my brain about all things FSC.

Read the interview here.

Announcing: Oliver and Lilly's

Oliver and Lilly's is now open for business in Vancouver!

Check out the rave review this lovely boutique received in today's Sweetspot. An excerpt:

"We've always dreamt of having a stylish best friend's closet to delve into when our own wardrobe went dry (you know, about a week after our latest shopping spree). Her place would be bright and spacious, and she'd be warm, smiley and always happy to help us find the perfect piece.

Or we could skip the inevitable you-stretched-my-sweater drama and head straight to Oliver & Lilly's, a charming boutique just opened last Friday by the lovely Leighann Boquist."

Make sure you check out Oliver and Lilly's when you're in Vancouver.

LB Etc.

A good friend is opening a boutique on South Granville in Vancouver (coming soon). Soooo excited to see all the interesting pieces at Oliver and Lilly's!

The owner has an incredible knack for spotting trends and an innate sense of what looks great on a woman's body. FSC clients in Calgary can look forward to exclusive offers on Oliver and Lilly's pieces.

You can check out her personal blog at L.B. etc and look for the Oliver and Lilly's website coming soon!
