J.Crew’s Crewcuts is Coming!

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

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 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

Pottery Barn Kids Nursery Style Event

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 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.

Design Specialists will be available to provide one-on-one assistance and offer design ideas & how-to tips for nursery and registry essentials.

Guests will enjoy:
· 10% OFF purchases (excluding furniture)
· A chance to win an UPPAbaby VISTA stroller
· 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!

Launching today! Sophia Webster for J. Crew

Today is the day J. Crew launches their collaboration with British footwear designer Sophia Webster.

The 13 piece shoe collection is bright, cheerful, and I haven’t seen one pair that I wouldn’t love to have!

The shoe collection was designed to highlight the colour and patterns found in the J.Crew S/S ‘14 Women’s Collection.

“Sophia Webster is one of the most exciting and talented British designers. Her shoes are like miniature sets – a beautiful world for your feet to spend the day in,” says Jenna Lyons, President and Executive Creative Director of J.Crew. “Each shoe tells a unique story.”

Items in the collection range in price from $320 to $695.

Check out the collection in stores, and to see more from J.Crew check out www.jcrew.com.

Studs!

Accessories are my jam. I think I actually have more scarves, shoes, and jewelry than clothes. It seems like buying just one necklace or a pair of earrings is insignificant and harmless as opposed to buying a jacket, but really it adds up. Especially when you do it a lot! Right now I’m really into stud earrings. Mostly because I cleaned out my circa-2006 chandelier earring collection recently, and now I have a giant hole in my jewelry box which needs to be filed. Here are a few fun ones for spring/summer!
