that the chance of snow is so unlikely!

Young Blossom

This Week’s Inner City Blossom was pink like the trees
such a graceful little one who loves to dress herself…

Creatively she reminds us to add a little bling to anything and
that the bigger stitches can make any outfit more island feminine.

Toque Series – Black on Black

THE TOQUE
Weekends, days off and two-day or three-day hair wouldn’t be the same without them on the west coast.
This is especially fun when you pair the toque to your own hair colour…
add soft waves and your afternoon outdoors is quick and easy!

Quick morning tip:
If you go with a black toque any colour works in the middle if you pair it with black pants.

Find a few toques that work with your look, hair colour and pant / skirt collection.
Keep make up lush and natural.

Umbrella Series
Shelter any time you can find it is helpful even if you have to grab your golf umbrella – it might just be raining hard enough that it’s called for!

Why this works..
the blacks, the taupe, the tan and grey are neutrals that are classic and very combo-versatile!

Love the edgy neckline and that her coat and dress hem length are the same, long enough to be chic.
