Fashion Crusader
Kaitlyn is the modern Pocahontas. Romans 12:2 is her blog, and modern boho chic is her game. We stumbled upon Kaitlyn’s blog months back and fell in love the moment we started scrolling down the page. For a southern dame, Kaitlyn mixes just the right amount of west coast hippie with a dash of east coast edge and rocker spunk. Her style is beautiful, her personality is original, and her...

Last Whif of Summer
It’s hard to believe that it’s officially Fall now, considering the wacky summer we’ve had up here in Canada. Last weekend was the oddest on the west coast…hot 20 degree weather one day…down pour with high altitude winds the next…so paying tribute to our “last” summer day, we’re giving you some awesome summer streetwear before we upload the...

Leg Action
Slits are major this fall and were seen all over the runways. While you might feel obliged to cover up as the weather cools, this fad requires a little sex appeal and a lot of leg action. Leg-baring slits entered the fashion world around the 1970s. Designers like Halston and Givenchy honored the female form by snipping a sliver of fabric, letting ladies show a little skin while still leaving a...

sweet dots.
Dots. Dots. Obsession.
It’s no wonder that up-and-coming designers like David Koma presented a FW collection inspired by Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. Known for creating art work based on infinity, self-image, and compulsion repetition to obsessive levels, Yayoi is known for the frequent use of polka dots and use of colour.
Why polka dots? She says: “…a polka dot has the form of the sun, which is a...

We decided to pay tribute via their photography campaign of leathers....

FW 2011 - Leather. The Next Generation.
Leather has been with us since the dawn of time. Are you even surprised that a major Fall trend for 2011 is leather, leather, leather. However, leather this season is pushed to another level. For the past few years, we’ve seen this trend develop from jackets, to skirts, to tops, to dresses. This season, leather takes on a whole new dimension. Super soft leather is melded into accessories,...
A sheer thing, everyday
Mother Nature did not prepare us for a heat wave in September, especially in Vancouver! For those of you who are waiting for the sudden rainfall to start off our coming days of dreary fall/winter, enjoy Fall’s new transitional trend: sheer. Long sleeve, short sleeve; short skirts, maxi skirts, whatever you like! This past week, we’ve been sharing all of our finds on the runway that...

Black and Nudes
Don’t be afraid to wear this look to your office. Best options to make it look extra professional? Go black or nudes. These sheer tops bring this rad look back to a more conservative level. Just remember to keep the under garment clean and classic. Want a vintage one? Check ours out here.
Lace + Sheer = The New Feminine Chic

Layering length with sheer
If our late summer here in Vancouver isn’t going to burn up fall, this will. A solid-colour mini-length piece paired with a sheer midi or maxi skirt creates an engaging stop-start visual effect. Thakoon Pre-Fall 2011
