Karolina Kurkova Loves Her Hudsons!

 If you've been on the fence about the new Hudson 'Phosphorescent Invasion' line, this outfit will have to convert you!  We're absolutely LOVING the chunky knit stripe sweater and oversized orange clutch paired with the striped denim.  It's the perfect pairing with a usually 'racy' pair of jeans to bring a chic twist to the look and feel of them.  Check out the rest of the photo shoot here:

LOVE: Mia Melon Spring!

We recently started representing Mia Melon - one of our favorite brands that just happens to be designed in Vancouver as well.  Below are a couple of our fave pieces from the spring collection.  The whole line is so wearable and comfortable while still making a fashionable statement.  Check out their website to see the complete line or to find out what retailer near you carries it.

We love this one worn as a little dress with an oversized cardigan & flats or with tights & flat boots at the office.

This is the perfect top to throw on with your favorite pair of denim & head out the door with a big scarf ready for the day!
