Milly for Banana Republic: LOVE!



Milly, for those of you who may not be familiar, is a relatively new American brand - designed by Michelle Smith.  After refining her craft at NYC's famed Fashion Institute of Technology, then interning at Hermes, Michelle created this gorgeous line of sportswear with vibrant colours, detailed prints, and excellent tailoring.  It's got femininity and style that is distinctive as well as flattering.

Milly just launched a collection at Banana Republic, making it a little more accessible in terms of price-point and in terms of logistics too, since there are Banana Republics at almost every mall in North America now.  I highly recommend checking it out and adding some happy colour to your summer wardrobe!

Jewellery Event in Burlington Coming Up Soon!

One of my fave jewellery lines in Burlington (or globally, for that matter) is glamjulz.  Totally modern pieces with lots of fun detail and uniqueness.  They are wardrobe staples, and take a simple white t-shirt up to entirely new levels of stylishness.

Lucky for us all, there is an event coming up that will help you stock up for summer and spend a little less than usual!

glamjulz is offering free shipping on their special Hummingbird Bracelet that benefits the Juravinski Cancer Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, as well as having a Mother's Day Open House at their Studio in Burlington on May 9th.  While you're there, I highly recommend talking to owner and designer Monica Graves about designing a layered custom necklace for summer.  I did that last year and she made a gorgeous multi-strand necklace with silvers, clear stones and whites (with a removable strand for when I want to lighten it up a bit) and honestly - it goes with almost everything I wear all summer long!  People compliment me on it all the time.  


I guarantee you find something stunning and shiny that you'll wear all the time.

Cheers to the warm weather that is finally here and all the fun spring outfits & accessories we can now finally enjoy again :)
