Vancouver Update: New Stuff!

Hello Vancouver Lily-ites! Just a quick rundown of some of the awesome new stuff we have in the shop (all items are available for sale on-line as well):

The Shuriken Tunic ($76) in a beautiful, rich aubergene merino wool.

Cute new tote--the Olaf ($48). A super simple denim bag with great prints.

Gorgeous new tunic in a deep, textured brown cotton. The Toddy Tunic ($92) will be great for layering over skinny jeans, tights, long-sleeved shirts, or with a cardigan. Shown here with one of our cotton obi sashes.

Portobella Skirt ($114) in an amazing camouflage cotton twill; With leaves instead of regular camo patterning, it definitely reads as less "armed conflict" and more "pretty!" The olive green inverted box pleat comes screened with the handsome Red Deer print.

Victoria Store Update: The wonderful Wollaston!

While getting ready for my work day, like many of us I stood in front of my closet hoping to find something that is easy to wear, looks great, and, most importantly, that will keep me cozy! It's definitely fall here in Victoria--rainy, cold, windy, and lets face it, grey, grey, grey! I needed something from my wardrobe that puts a little pep in my step, and there it was, the new Wollaston. Now available in luscious grey wool, as well as TWO other geometrically inspired prints. I like to wear this frock with a long sleeve boatneck top, my Cape of Good Hope, and, of course on a day like today, my Wellies!

Lily Inspiration: Nature

While photographing tees yesterday, Diana noticed a snail hovering on the cement wall near her.

At first she thought it was dead, but when she gently removed it from the wall, she realized it was alive.

We admired the structure and colours of its shell and the delicate movements of its antennae (maybe a snail print would be strange/beautiful?), and then gently placed it on the grass nearby. We got all caught up in the moment and giggled in our childlike state of being in awe of nature. Beauty and joy are everywhere - even on cinderblock walls in driveways - how uplifting!

Too bad we won't be quite so enamoured with the slugs who are soon to creep out onto our wet sidewalks.
