Stripe Spotting – HBC

May 29, 2012 by Lofthouse

I LOVE LOVE LOVE HBC, ever since I was a little girl, I have fond memories of spending time at the Paddlewheel Restaurant with my Nanny, Pop, Aunt, and Mum.  We would order delicious food, and talk about what kind of a shopping trip was ahead of us, followed by walking the many floors of the Bay Downtown.  Two years ago I gladly registered Jesse and I at the Bay for our wedding.  This is where I became a little […]

Street Style: Cathedral

May 21, 2012 by Lofthouse

London has had some beautiful weather this past long weekend, what better way to soak in the sun, then with a friend on Richmond Row.  These pictures were taken outside of a beautiful Church Cathedral downtown.  My outfit features a new NYC graphic Maison Scotch t-shirt, high waisted American Apparel shorts, Aldo sandals, French Connection belt, and a Tommy Hilfiger scarf.

Mullet Skirt

May 14, 2012 by Lofthouse

I’m just loving my new Mink Pink vintage floral mullet skirt from Leslie’s Clothing!  This skirt has so many great colours to pair a top with.  Not to mention it’s so fun to wear, I feel like a girly super hero when I walk because the train flies like a cape!  This look I wore to work recently, and I finally was able to pair socks and heels!  This skirt just arrived at Leslie’s, we only have three left, be […]

Paper Feather Decor [diy]

May 9, 2012 by Lofthouse

A friend and I spent an evening making decorative window feathers, inspired by the Fine & Feathered blog.  I was able to put these feathers to good use in the  Leslie’s Clothing latest window display!

Oak + Oar

May 7, 2012 by Lofthouse

When it comes to my fellow Winnipegers I can’t help but feel a sense of pride, love and excitement when I see young aspiring entrepreneurs making their mark in the fashion world.  May 7th marks the day Winnipeg’s Oak + Oar opens it’s online shop, featuring it’s “Summer Loitering” collection.  I’m so thrilled for my friend, the founder, creator of Oak + Oar, Chris Watchorn. To help promote the launch of Oak + Oar, Camren Friesen of Nice Productions filmed […]

Summer Co-op

May 6, 2012 by Lofthouse

Summer 2012, my co-op placement is at Leslie’s Clothing.  I love the freedom Leslie’s is granting me to experiment in the different fields of work, being at a boutique.  Media, networking, paperwork, selling, steaming, merchandising, styling, windows, etc.  Everyday I work there, I’m learning something new!  One of my projects this week was photographing a portion of the store, to use on the website, I had fun arranging, and photo-styling for each picture! Can you tell what the pantone colour […]

Hanging Art Frames [diy]

May 5, 2012 by Lofthouse

A couple weeks ago I dragged my poor friend out to Wortley Village to pick up some window frames that were up for grabs at the end of a driveway.  We packed as many as we could into my already full car. For a few weeks these beat up, old, frames sat in my living room.  Today is the day I finally “DID IT MYSELF”, and I must say I love how beautiful the frames transformed into hanging art!  We […]
