We are also very excited to tell you that we are now stocked with the popular Jag Jeans line!  Great quality, great price point, and great fit!  Yay. Here's a note from their designer... When l think about my lifestyle - my likes and dislikes, what I value and believe, I seem to land on words like "simple", "comfortable" and "uncomplicated". When you hit a certain age that is what you want your clothing to be - especially denim. You want to look stylish but not stand-out. You want to find that one brand that fits every time. You want to find a pair of jeans that are so comfortable that you forget you're wearing them. At Jag Jeans, it's all about great fit and just the right amount of fashion. Our jeans will flatter your figure - lifting, shaping and slimming in all the right places while always keeping you comfortable. All our waistbands stretch with you, which are unique to Jag Jeans, and they will never restrict you or your style. For Jag, it starts with fabric and a perfect fit, and ends with a customer that has found her perfect jean. I should know...l design Jag Jeans - for me and for you.   Ann K.

The Perfect Cardi.

The perfect cardigan. It's a constant quest. I was recently looking at my school pictures from k-12 and I was struck by the cute cardi I was wearing for my 10th grade photo. I remember it fondly, the way it would pull my outfits together in a cute and stylish way. That same cardigan could be worn today and not look dated. (hmmm, wonder what ever happened to that sweater??) I was hooked on cardigans then and not much has changed. 

Like a warm hug or a best friend, cardigans bring us comfort and warmth and asks for nothing in return. Cardigans make dresses, skirts, and pants look and work better together and never discriminate.

The right cardigan is the perfect wardrobe staple, never needing to be the star, it's content to be the workhorse.  Wear it over blouses or tees or your favourite sleeveless dresses, belt it, wear it under jackets and blazers or just throw one into your bag as you're leaving the house in case you get chilly.

Cardigan styles change but the classics are timeless.

My favourite cardigan right now?

Diane Kennedy's Affair Cardi is made from viscose from bamboo it's amazingly soft and comfy. The shorter cut with shawl collar 3/4 sleeve and three button styling make this the perfect thing to throw on over dresses and skirts or your favourite jeans. The Affair Cardi comes in Black, Navy and Mink and it's in the shop right now! Proudly made in Vancouver, Canada!!

This might just be the piece you are looking for to pull it all together. Come in and have a look!

Whale or Mermaid?

Diane Kennedy sent us this story and I thought it was definitely a good one!  Hope you enjoy...

Recently, in a large city in France ,

a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.

It said, "This summer,

do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"

A middle-aged woman,

whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster,

responded publicly to the question

posed by the gym. _

To Whom It May Concern, Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans.)

They have an active sex life,

get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp.

They play and swim in the seas,

seeing wonderful places like Patagonia ,

the Bering Sea

and the coral reefs of Polynesia .

Whales are wonderful singers

and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures

and virtually have no predators

other than humans.

They are loved, protected and admired

by almost everyone in the world.

Mermaids don't exist.

If they did exist,

they would be lining up outside the offices

of Argentinean psychoanalysts

due to identity crisis. Fish or human?

They don't have a sex life

because they kill men who get close to them, not to mention how could they have sex?

Just look at them ... where is IT?

Therefore, they don't have kids either.

Not to mention,

who wants to get close to a girl who smells

like a fish store?

The choice is perfectly clear to me:

I want to be a whale.

P..S. We are in an age

when media puts into our heads

the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids,

a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver, and a piece of chocolate with my friends.

With time, we gain weight

because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads

that when there is no more room,

it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy,

we are enormously cultured,

educated and happy. Beginning today,

when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think,

Good grief, look how smart I am!?
