Flora Robe in Orange Poppies - Sabine & Sailor

I’m in love with these robes by Sabine & Sailor. I find robes are a really personal piece of clothing, different types of robes suit different situations. Like for a spa day you want a soft, fluffy, cotton robe. On a cold winter morning getting out of the shower you want some oversized terrycloth. But for Valentine’s day, don’t you think this Flora Robe in Orange Popies is perfect? It says, ‘breakfast in bed, followed by all day in bed’. Perfect.

In luxuriously soft to the touch silk cotton voile, the Flora robes features a flattering straight line cut and belt. Gathered sleeve. Side pockets. Orange poppy print. Design by Sabine & Sailor. 20% silk, 80% cotton.  Hand wash in cold water and hang to dry.

Cowlneck Sweaterdress

Did you know Victoria’s Secret made clothes? And nice clothes too. I’m desperate to get a sweaterdress. None of my other dresses are really winter appropriate, but I think a sweaterdress would be perfect. They’re cozy and sexy, most items of clothing can’t be both, no matter how many times say they are.

Soft angora and an open back make a curve-skimming knit even more sensuous. Imported angora. 17" from waist.

Girls Taffeta Holiday Dress

We always get dressed to the nines for Christmas. Not Christmas morning with immediate family and presents, but for dinner and presents with the whole family at Grandma’s we go all out. I don’t know if this is something other families do or not. I think some people must or there wouldn’t be fabulous and adorable dresses like this Taffeta Holiday Dress. It just seems to make everything that much more special when everyone puts so much effort into their appearance for family get togethers.

Her style will shine with this taffeta dress from Marmellata just in time for the holidays.

Warehouse Bandeau Pleat Side Pencil Dress, Red

Have you seen the photos of Jessica Simpson at the Footwear News Achievement Awards at the Museum of Modern Art? She is wearing a stunning red Donna Karan dress. It made me wish that Jessica would dress better when she’s not pregnant too, but one step at a time I guess. In honour of Jessica’s styling triumph get yourself this Warehouse Bandeau Pleat Side Pencil Dress in stunning red for all your upcoming holiday parties.

This Warehouse bandeau dress is perfect for the party season. It has a pleated style bust creating a flattering ruched side and wrap-style skirt. Complete the look with glittering metallic accessories.

Patina at the Party Dress

It’s mid-November. Holiday parties will be starting really soon if they haven’t already. What are you going to wear? I’m thinking of trying something bronze this year. Just as eye catching as gold, but a little more unexpected.

The dim lighting over dinner creates a dreamy glow that emanates from the breathtaking bronze sheen between tactically tarnish-like black muted blooms on this marvelous party dress. Bashful eyes gaze over at you as you dab your lips.

Leather and Ponté Dress

So would you rock this leather dress at work? Last week a colleague and I took an ‘executive lunch’ and went on an hour and a half shopping spree in the middle of the day (Yes, the place I work at and my boss are beyond awesome!) I picked out, among other items, a white blazer and a coral knitted tank covered in coordinating sequins. I loved the pieces on their own, but once I got into the change room…damn I had a killer work outfit! My colleague remarked that she loved the outfit but she would never have the courage to wear sequins at work.

The next day in the dentist’s office I was reading an interview in Fashion with Michael Kors and he mentioned he never though he’d see the day where sequins were appropriate at the office, then I noticed the receptionist was rocking a gorgeous white tank with silver sequin accents. It’s weird how things always happen like that isn’t it?

I’m not saying I think work dress codes should be thrown out the window, on the contrary, I actually like dress codes and I’m adamantly against ‘casual Fridays’ (Mostly because people today don’t seem to know the difference between ‘business casual’ and ‘casual casual’.) I think the rules actually allow for more sartorial expression. These are the parameters – now make it your own. So, I ask you again, would you rock this leather dress at work?

This sleek leather and ponté dress takes two of our favorite fabrics and puts them together for one amazing look. The front and back panels are leather while the side panels are ponté knit for smoothing comfort.

Poetic Penumbra Dress

This is called the ‘Poetic Penumbra Dress’, I affectionately call frocks like this ‘mullet dresses’. I usually hate them. I was checking out the fashions from VMAs and Selena Gomez was wearing another in what seems like a long line of mullet dresses for her. She looked cute, and I realized this trend isn’t going away. So maybe you have somewhere you can wear this more subdued version of what Selena was wearing last night. For now I’m going to stick to dresses that can decide whether they want to be full length or minis.

Its sweetheart bodice, coursed through by architectural boning, sculpts your figure into that of Aphrodite, and its asymmetrically tiered skirt spills into long sheer panels that drift about ethereally like evening shadows.

Photo Pro Dress

This tiny photo of this Photo Pro Dress doesn’t do justice to the larger photo on the web site, and I bet the larger photo on the website doesn’t do justice to the actual dress. The chiffon, the lace, the classic 50’s silhouette combined with the structured modern shoulders, the colour! What’s not to like about this dress?

Its finishing touches of a bronze exposed zipper in the back, and a purple tie belt would look 'snap-py' with deep blue low wedges and a matching flower headband in your hair!

Tutu's

Let me preface this by saying that I am not a mother. But if I was, I would totally let my little girl wear a tutu just for fun. I’d also probably let my son wear a superhero costume on days other than Halloween. Is that bad mothering? I figure with things like hair and clothing, things can grow back or be changed easily. Piercings and tattoos are more of a non-negotiable. Do tutus and superhero costumes lead to piercings and tattoos?

These tutu's are fun and exciting for girls of all ages. All tutu's are handmade with 2 to 3 colors of your choice. Special discounts will be added for large orders, please inquire upon purchasing.
