What I love about belts is that they are so multi-functional. One day a belt can be holding up your pants, and the next it can be used as a fabulous addition to a dress!

I generally find that when adding a belt to an outfit, you want to make sure that the belt does not take away from the outfit itself. You can avoid this by using this general rule of thumb: When wearing a neutral outfit, add a pop of colour with your belt, and, when wearing a colourful outfit, use a neutral belt to tone it down. If you’re wearing a belt over a dress or sweater and are ever in doubt about where the belt should rest, just use your natural waistline.

Right now, we have a huge array of belts, from skinny to chunky and neutral to colourful at all of our boutiques!

Bohemian Luxury

The beach-life, West Coast influence is found in both dresses and separates. Vibrant prints & embroidery adorn ultra flowy tops, maxi dresses and floor-length skirts.

Lady-Like

Audrey Hepburn & Grace Kelly would be proud! We can thank Kate Middleton for bringing back this look. A refined style with a 1950’s-1960’s vintage flare. Sleek, clean-line dresses with retro floral prints & stripes, sophisticated lower hemlines and fuller, A-line skirts.

Sporty

High-style is alive and thriving in the casual world. Cottage dwellers can relax in stretch cottons, knits, linens and denim capris. Colour blocking, stripes & tie dye are making a splash on tanks, tunics, dresses and sweaters.

Hipster

For the effortlessly ‘cool’, ultra-current look found in all of the celebrity mags, pair silk dresses with long knit cardigans. Get comfy in loose-fitting graphic tees and knits (the tee-shirt is BACK!), all easily paired with coloured denim, or a maxi skirt.

Ethereal

Flowing fabrics in both tops and dresses to channel your inner Greek Goddess. Delicate, light-weight watercolour chiffons drape softly over form- fitted silhouettes to create airy movement. Short, long or hi-lo, this trend will keep you feeling feminine and sexy.

Feminine

A sprinkle of femininity kisses everything this season, from delicate beading, to light fabrics, floral prints, spaghetti straps, crochet and lace details. You’ll find these ultra-feminine details on denim, formal gowns, cardis, tanks… you name it!

Visit any of our locations for a peek at our full collection + some helpful styling tips to make your spring/summer extra fashionable!

Happy Shopping!
