Oh it's that time of year again.
The nights are chilly and the days not much better.
So you look in your closet and realize... you need to spruce up that Fall wardrobe.
That's where we come in!
So many great pieces in the shop right now, and best of all, a huge Betina Lou order just arrived.
We just love Betina Lou.

Kerry is an author, teacher and psychotherapist.
Her book, Loose Girl: a memoir of promiscuity, is her "captivating memoir about her descent into promiscuity and how she gradually found her way toward real intimacy."
Her follow up, Dirty Little Secrets: Breaking the Silence on Teenage Girls and Promiscuity came out on September 1st, and explores the subject in broader detail, creating "a riveting look at today’s adolescent girls who use sex as a means to prove their worth."
Every woman knows this subject, weather we were 'that girl', or only watched 'those girls' ignore their own self worth.
Societies reluctance to even acknowledge this issue is sad and destructive, and Kerry's books are so important because of this!
As the mother of a little girl, and a woman who has been a teenage girl, I'm both scared and excited to delve into both books.
I know it's hot out there, but wow, we really have some amazing new pieces that will set you up for an amazingly fashionable fall season.
Here's your jam of the day to help you peruse...
It's kind of the Canadian invasion over here, and it's no wonder, they do such lovely things up north!
first, Betina Lou!
Hailing from Montreal, where all of her clothes are made, we love her, we really do.
Sweet, amazingly tailored looks, timeless and feminine.
From her lookbook:
The cutest every navy wool sweater with three-quarter length sleeves and brass button detail at the shoulders,
paired with a khaki twill skirt with dark buttons and great side pockets.
Such a great finish look.
This shirt is just de-lovely. Burgundy yarn-dyed with pleating detail at the front and contrasting buttons, and a cute little collar.
Paired with a navy twill pencil skirt with button and removable strap detail at the waist.
So so flattering on every silhouette.
Just look at Marissa!

Great structured pieces that are just begging to be worn with a great pair of boots!
