by Robyn Yager | Dace has created the perfect ladies white button-up shirt. I love the relaxed yet structured style. Pair with a pair of loose trousers, a high-waisted skirt, or perhaps some tailored shorts.
The Legendary Army & Navy Shoe Sale continues until May 5th. It takes a little bit of searching around but you’re bound to find something amazing here. Scan the goods for Kelsi Dagger, Michael Kors, Pour La Victoire, and lots more.
Muttonhead opened a shop within Board of Trade Co. on Union Street over the weekend. Stop by to check out some seriously cool casual menswear (I’m eyeing their Raglan sweater in Heather Grey).
Chanel becomes a graphic novel. Illustrated by Bernard Ciccolini and written by Pascale Frey, the book is a history of Coco in a colourful frame-by-frame comic en Francais. Forget Batman, I’ll take Chanel! Here’s a preview. It’s not published yet, but you will be updated when it is!
Ring stacking is the new wrist stacking. You heard it here first. Get some pretty ones over at Nouvelle Nouvelle, where they carry brands like Catbird NYC, Wasted Effort, and Rish.
Always take Cary Grant’s Timeless Style Advice, but never take it for granted. One of his best gems: “If a man wears the kind of clothes that please him, then, providing they’re clean and don’t shock society, morals, and little children, what is the difference as long as that man is happy?” (via GQ Winter 1967/68)
Bathing suit season is quickly approaching. Check out Cuche Bikinis for some contemporary high-waisted styles. Available at Dream in Gastown (and currently on sale!)
Common clothing stains and how to remove them, because you never know when a Beaujolais mishap will strike, and when it does you’re going to need to deal with it!
