Winners – THE SEASON’S BEST FASHION BETS FOR LESS!

Winners is one of my all-time favourite spots. There are weeks when I will visit the same one twice because when new stock comes in, I don’t want to miss anything.

Sometimes it’s expensive to buy what’s trending, so Winners is a great spot to pick up key wardrobe pieces.

Elizabeth Cabral is an award winning Fashion/Creative Director and stylist who has worked with A-listers such as Kirsten Dunst, Beyoncé, Olivia Wilde and Keira Knightley. A staple on the international show circuit, her personal style has also been featured on Style. com, jakandjil, The Coveteur, and countless other sites and blogs.

She has released her Winners must-haves for spring, and I’m hoping I come across a few of them when I stop at Winners this week!

Spring Fashion from Whistle Kids

image

I’m a big fan of what Whistle Kids has to offer, and their new stock for spring doesn’t disappoint!

It’s so difficult to find cute boys clothing, so having a store like this makes the hunt a lot easier. If I had a girl I would buy the match to all of my outfits here for her. I love all of the kids versions of adult styles that they carry. Here are a few items to give you an idea of what’s in store!

My personal fave is Joah Love Cool bro tee and Joah Love camo shorts!

Zara Terez printed leggings - $60.00

J.Crew’s Crewcuts is Coming!

J.Crew's Crewcuts

I’ve blogged before about Crewcuts, J.Crew’s stylish and adorable line of children’s wear, and now Crewcuts will be available in Toronto!

On May 7th, J.Crew’s 6th store in Toronto will open – this time at Sherway Gardens. So far in Canada Crewcuts is only available in-store at one of the locations in Vancouver, but finally we are getting a location that will feature Crewcuts here in Toronto!

The Crewcuts collection is for boys and girls aged 2-14, and the clothing is ridiculously stylish.

The store will also carry J.Crew’s Men’s and Women’s collections, along with ‘In Good Company brands’, which is a collection of brand partnerships hand-selected by the design team. Those are usually my favourite items to shop at J.Crew!

You should take advantage as well of J.Crew’s Very Personal Stylist service – did you know it is complimentary? The service provides one-on-one style appointments with a J.Crew expert, and is offered throughout the day, as well as before and after store hours. You can even take advantage of the service online at www.jcrew.com.

You can check out the Crewcuts collection online as well at www.jcrew.com before you head to Sherway and fight everyone else for a piece of the collection!

Blogger Fashion Week Presented by FASHION Magazine, Trend Trunk, and Style Democracy

 

Blogger Fashion Week

 

 

I’m excited to announce I’m taking part in Blogger Fashion Week from May 5th to 11th, presented by FASHION Magazine, Trend Trunk and Style Democracy.

Trend Trunk

Trend Trunk is an an online marketplace where you can shop people’s closets for amazing deals on designer clothing and accessories, or you can start your own closet to sell some of your clothing and accessories yourself!

Trend Trunk allows you to easily set up your closet – it only takes seconds to post a photo of your item, a description, and then it’s posted online for others to shop! Trend Trunk handles the shipping which makes everything so much easier. They are partnered with Canada Post, so once your item sells you are emailed a trackable pre-paid, pre-addressed shipping label. All you need to do is print the label, pack your item, and ship.

Once delivery is confirmed, Trend Trunk will deposit 80% of the selling price into your Trend Trunk account. That’s it!

It’s a slightly addictive website. There is so much to look at, and you can easily shop by brand or style.  Trend Trunk even has an App!

100 emerging and established Canadian bloggers are taking part in Blogger Fashion Week, and each day will see a limited number of closets unlocked and featured each day.  It’s a great way to find some amazing Canadian blogs to follow, but it’s also a great opportunity to shop!

I will announce when my closet is being released, but in the meantime you can RSVP to the Facebook page here

You can also visit Trend Trunk at www.TrendTrunk.com, or check out www.BloggerFashionWeek.com

Pottery Barn Kids Nursery Style Event

Pottery Barn Kids

One of my favourite places to shop when I was planning for my baby’s arrival was Pottery Barn Kids. I spent hours going through their website ordering blankets, towels, decor and toys. I love buying gifts for friends with babies on the way from there as well to get my fix of cute baby gear! Lucky for me their toddler lines are just as adorable, so my addiction continues with no end in sight.

Pottery Barn Kids

Pottery Barn Kids has teamed up with Jennifer Flores of Rambling Renovators to host their popular Nursery Style Event on Saturday, May 3rd, 4pm – 6pm at their Bloor Street store.

· Samples from luxury skincare line, Noodle & Boo

You need to RSVP to this event! Call the Bloor Street store (Toronto Pottery Barn Kids, 100 Bloor Street West) at (416) 961-2276 to get your name on the list!
