fashiontruck Canada

It’s hard to imagine something this amazing! I get excited when I see a food truck. To hear about something called fashiontruck Canada? Amazing!

fashiontruck Canada is a cashless fashion mobile retail experience – basically they bring the retailer to you. How much more convenient can it get?

fashiontruck canada is a new retail concept from two Torontonians – Emily Dobbie, owner of Vocado fashion boutiques, and stylist Ashley Barber. The truck only accepts electronic payments to ensure fast transactions with their customers.

This summer you will see fashiontruck at festivals, concerts and events in Toronto now and across Canada this summer.

On the truck you will find a mix of women’s clothing and accessories, all priced under $100.

fashiontruck Canada had just teamed up with MasterCard Canada, and MasterCard cardholders will also receive a 20% discount when they make a purchase with their MasterCard at fashiontruck canada.

Today you can find the truck parked at 171 East Liberty Street in Liberty Village, Toronto. Check their Facebook page for more updates!

Liana Marie Jewelry Line + Necklace Giveaway!

I met designer Liana Soper at World Mastercard Fashion Week in Toronto a couple weeks ago. There was no chance of me passing her by, because I was immediately drawn to her designs!

I’m a bit of a jewelry addict. I love buying costume jewellery, but that sort of stuff comes and goes with different trends, and doesn’t tend to last long without breaking or tarnishing. My favourite jewelry buys are from independent designers who make quality pieces, and you know that there is some serious love put into each design. It’s also comforting to know that on a night out you aren’t going to run into 5 other people with the same necklace on (hello H&M?).

Liana describes her designs for Liana Marie as whimsical and evocative, and she often uses vintage pieces and chain in her work.

Liana’s designs are sold in many different stores across Toronto, Hamilton, Oakville, and Collingwood, and she also has an Etsy store as well if you need a quick fix! You can find her store here

Here are some images from her upcoming Fall 2014 line. Her pieces for this collection were inspired by the period drama “Downton Abbey”.

The amazing news is that we are giving away one of her necklaces from her Spring 2014 line!

The necklace is called the Kensington Beaded Brass Necklace, and it retails for $88!

Here are a few shots of the necklace up for grabs!

And how do you win you are probably asking? Well, we are being very nice and have multiple ways for you to enter and win!

Where to Shop – Easter With Pottery Barn Kids

I’m not sure if you know this about me, but I’m actually the reigning Easter Egg Hunt Champion in my family. It’s kind of a big deal. There was this one time I lost on a technicality, but otherwise my record is impeccable. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I take Easter rather seriously.

Now that I have a toddler I’m looking forward to not only training him on my stellar egg hunting techniques, but celebrating the holiday in a fun way for him.

Pottery Barn Kids is pretty awesome for coming up with fun ways to celebrate holidays like this. I’ve added a few of my favourite items below, along with some recipes from Pottery Barn Kids for Easter as well! Click on the title of each image to see the product on their site, or to get the yummy recipe seen in the photo.
