I Like Your Sundress
The beauty about spring/summer ( well, along with about one million other things) is that you can really stick to simplicity. You can look incredibly cool just by throwing on a pretty sundress and subtle accessories. Tuck a jean jacket in your bag and call it a night!
Nokomis Moth Dress for 160$
Vintage letter pendants. I picked 'S' for Shasha but we also have M T A and N.
These are 39$.
And if our mannequin had any legs or feet I would put these brown gladiators on for a nice earth toned summer ensemble. But she doesn't so you will have to stretch the old' imagination a bit.
Et voila! All that's missing is an ice cream cone!

Little Joy
It's Monday, school break is over, Obama has come and gone, and there is still snow on the ground. On a day like this we all need a little joy, like cutie-pie studs (or the fact that you don't have to take math class anymore):
"Give a short way of multiplying by 20, by 30, by 40, by 50."
Steel Magnolia, $24
"Change 6 cords 106 cu.ft. to cubic feet."
Sugar Frosted, $20
"A frieght car is 36ft. long, 8ft. 4 in. wide and 8ft. high. How many bushels of wheat will it hold, if full, there being 1 1/4 cu ft. in one bushel?"
Erica Weiner, $24
"An Italian came to Canada on June 20th, 1889, when he was 23 years old. How old was he on June 20th, 1909?"
Salvage, $35
"Multiply 35,976 by 399 and then by 400. What should be done to the second product to make it equal to the first?"
Steel Magnolia, $24
"If you have 780 inches of wire, into how many foot pieces can you cut it?"
Steel Magnolia, $24
"If for the use of money I pay each year 1/25 of the sum borrowed, what should I pay for the use of $225 for 3 1/2 years?"
Erica Weiner, $38

Take a little piece of my heart
Again this season Sessun makes us fall on our knees. The pieces have such cute little details while keeping the overall look totally classic. If there is anyone out there who needs convincing that dresses are the easiest way to look adorable, no matter the occasion, let this line show you the light!
Sienne dress, $129
Inframint dress, $205 (also availible in black)
We don't usually do things like this (because it makes us want to die of embarrassment!) but we are just so proud of Sigi. You all know that we know our customers are smart as hell (honestly gals, there has been so many calls between us starting with "Did you know a ---- shops at our store? So cool!"). Sigi is a young journalist (with bitch'n style) who wrote the best article we have ever read on Victoire. Pat yourself on the back Sigi, and sit back and wait for the Globe and Mail to call!

New York Fracken City
Probably the best proof that Katie and I's trip to NYC last week-end was the BEST EVER is that immediately upon returning home, Katie's body completely shut down and she's been home sicky since then, and I've developped a raspy/sexy/totally disgusting phlemy voice. This is our bodies on party times overdose. We ain't spring chickens anymore, so after a week-end like that, it's no surprise we have to pay the price.
But let's start at the beginnig. It started innocently enough, as most of our road trips do, with a stop at the Scone Witch for some sconewhiches for the road.
It was just Katie and I driving up together, and since we talk to each other um, like every 15 minutes of every day, we came prepared with books on tape by the barrel full in case conversation needed some stimulus. Let me re-phrase that. We weren't actually all that prepared since half-way through the day on Friday I called my mom at the library to see which books were on the shelves. That is how come we ended up driving with Bill O'Reilly and Sharon Osborne. Oh, and we may have learned a thing or two about the history of Yiddish.
The drive was hickup free, and before we knew it we were listening to our favourite radio station HOT 97! We were happy to realize over the week-end that the new Beyonce single Diva is exploding!
Not more than 15 minutes after we arrived, we met Clayton and Adam in the lobby of our hotel and headed out for the evening. It was sooo enjoyable to stay in somewhere nice for a change. I don't think we'll ever be able to go back to Greenpoint after this!
We're just so giddy about the fact that it's Fashion Week and we're off to the first of many parties with open bars!
Err, many hours later....This picture might not stay up more than 24 hours, but this is just one of many "action shots" I took of Katie struggling to take her boots off after a long night. I think this is the exact moment where she almost gave up and was about to sleep in those dang boots.
On Sunday, we went to the Brooklyn Flea which was hands down one of the best flea markets Katie and I have ever gone to! Of course we were in absolute heaven. It was almost overwhelming how many amazing finds there were, I wanted to grab everything. It's hard to describe how I feel in places like this, but my heart beat races, my eyes are darting everywhere and I think my palms even get a little sweaty. It's just total ecstasy. I bought a beatifully framed vintage photograph and a cream lace blouse with a little collar (you'll see it later on in this trip!), Katie got an old wedding cake bride & groom, a book about botany for her man and an old medecine jar.
That evening we had dinner with Clayton, Adam and Louis and Jeff, co-owners of one of our most beloved NYC shops Oak. Before settling in at the amazing sushi place they had picked, they sent us on a wild goose chase around Brooklyn. Mistaken metro stops, bar names, etc, etc made for a long trek but in the end it was all worth it - we had probably the best sushi ever and the company was wonderful. In the middle of all this disorienting madness, we took the time to take some pics at another cutie cute bar along the route that had its walls covered in all kinds of different floral wall-paper.
The next morning we went over to Erica Weiner's studio to pick up some new goodies for y'all, and it was no surprise that the studio where such beautiful creations come to life would be equally echanting. I felt that same flea market excitement looking at all her giant mason jars filled with amazing vintage charms.
After some shopping around the Lower East Side, it was time to get ready for the reason for the season - complexgeometries A/W 09 launch party at Santos Party House!!
Between all the positive affirmations on the wall and the rainbow projection, you might have already guessed that this club is co-owned by Andrew W.K. Needless to say, I was supremo psyched. (Just ask, and I will gladly tell you all about the Andrew W.K. show that changed my life. Actually, you probably don't even need to ask. I'd be talking about it right now if I wasn't writing this blog post.)
We met up with Erica from Species by the Thousands and made a new friend. Already looking forward to our next trip so we can hang out with her lots more. And we brought lots of her amazing Ts and some jewelry back with us too.
We danced, we drank, we took more pictures.
Hip hip hooray (and PEACE!) to Clayton. Thanks a bunch for inviting us to tag along. This was a trip for the ages.
