Fashion Friday: Local Fashion Favorites

Mine and Yours

          This Yaletown treasure trove of all things on-trend and covet worthy has just celebrated 1 year in business, along with recently moving ( next door to their previous location) into a larger space.  Partners Courtney Watkins and Jigme Nehring offer a unique take on the traditional consignment store. These two ladies gave me my first foray into resale by selling me a pair of Prada booties (worn twice and 75% off !!!!!) for a Holiday event I was attending. Well if there's anything that's going to get you hooked, it's going to be a pair of Prada booties ( worn only twice before they found their way into my closet) at 75% off.

Offering clients who are looking to resell their new and never worn or like-new items 30% cash or 50% in-store credit of the projected resell rice of said item back makes it an enticing way to earn dollars or shop without feeling guilty!  Check out their online store as well www.mineandyours.com if you need some more enticement.

Visit Courtney, Jigme and Joanna at:

1060 Hornby Street           (604) 620-8885                 Vancouver, BC.                  info@minandyours.co

Flash Back Friday: A Party at The Cross

A Party at The Cross

All things pretty, sparkly and fabulous culminated at an amazing party for Leah Alexandra jewelry and the launch of Party Skirts by Skot Apparel at The Cross Design last Wednesday. 

We were fortunate enough to be invited to this soiree, and while we were familiar with the FUN that comes with wearing a Party Skirt, we had not had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Leah Alexandra.  Check out the highlights below! 

If you have never been to The Cross Design (1198 Homer St, Vancouver) it is an SBDGirls FAVORITE place to just BE! So essentially it's a treasure trove of unique and gorgeous housewares, clothing, dishware, jewelry, books and did I mention they offer interior design services? Needless to say, it's THE best place for a party. 

Photographed by The Collective You with treats provided in part by Ferrero Rocher, we were warmly welcomed by staff from The Cross Design  and guided into all the girly excitement.  The girls from Party Skirts were our first stop, Lauren and Mariel Armstrong started Skot Apparel due to a need of something fun in their own closets.  Once friends and family took notice so did the fashion world, now their designs are carried online (skotapparel.com or shopbop.com) and across Canada at Rebecca Bree, Blu Bird, and all Holt Renfrew locations, just to name a few.  Recently featured in Teen Vogue, the sky is the limit for these two entrepreneurs and I for one can't wait to get my hands on their new shade of party skirt this holiday season!

Once we picked out our party skirts, various birthday cards, lusted after candles, tea cups and justified shopping for little ones as well (yes they have a baby section!) we made our way to all the glittery things.  Now, like any woman, we have a serious weakness for anything that sparkles, and Leah Alexandra's jewelry line satisfies all those necessities.

A modern esthetic with a little freedom and whimsy thrown in for good measure, we are sufficiently hooked!  The Ear Climbers were a particular favorite, as were the dainty rings and feather weight Y-chain necklaces. Now, while we didn't win their Instagram contest (sigh..) that didn't stop us from picking up a few baubles for ourselves. 

Vancouver based, Leah's collection is available at The Cross Design, Blue Ruby and Beauty Bar, her line consists of sterling silver, 14 karat gold fill, 24 karat gold vermiel, gemstones and fresh water pearls and is inspired by summers sent in Cape Cod. Celebrity clients include Jessica Alba and Reese Witherspoon and are all handmade here in Vancouver.
