  <description><![CDATA[<p>June 17, 2013</p><p><a href="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_state of sound.jpg"><img src="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_state of sound.jpg" alt="state of sound.jpg"></a></p><p>2013 is definitely the year that dance music has been revived. DJ's are the new rock stars, and even today's Top 40 musicians like Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, are donning heavy trance influences. But nothing is like the new dawn of House music. Influenced by the roots of this subtle dance genre, artists like Disclousre, have gained #1 record status in their homeland of England. Here is a list of some quality House musicians out there!<img class="mcePageBreak" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" data-mce-src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" /></p>
<p><strong>Disclosure</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bkk2H3Ztrfk" width="560" data-mce-src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bkk2H3Ztrfk"></iframe></p>
<p>This heavy hitting UK brother duo consists of Guy and Howard Lawrence. Gaining a name for themselves in the underground dance scene, Disclosure became something much bigger. Working with some of England's best talent such as AlunaGeorge and Jessie Ware, and touring internationally, these young brothers have a bright future!</p>
<p><strong>Teengirl Fantasy</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pT2_G6Dov0U" width="420" data-mce-src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pT2_G6Dov0U"></iframe></p>
<p>Another duo, Teengirl Fantasy are a Ohio formed group, made up of Logan Takahashi and Nick Weiss. Having toured with Bon Iver and Crystal Castles, TGF have been heard for their intrinsically unique approach to electronic and pop music. Highly textured and often sample free beats separate TGF from the DJ performer norm with their entire approach to performing live.</p>
<p><strong>Pictureplane</strong></p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ErLrK2_np4I" width="560" data-mce-src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ErLrK2_np4I"></iframe></p>
<p>Travis Egedy, better known as his eccentric House/Pop persona Pictureplane. Gaining high praise by critics for his albums Dark Rift (2009) and Thee Physical (2011) this Denver native has been seen touring alongside Major Lazer and Crystal Castles! The most amazing thing about Egedy is his ability to make dark sounds sound pop-like and uplifting. His lyrics mainly consist of Occult themes and the post-physical, yet still are catchy and fun to sing along with.</p><br><br><hr><br><br>]]></description>

<p> </p>
<p>We love the new Monk &amp; Lou Tencel Lark shorts ($65, also available in olive).  They are the perfect pair to dress up and add a formal touch to. We paired the shorts with the Monk &amp; Lou Nova cami in mint ($48, other colors available), and to add a sheer layer and some pattern, we threw over the Free People Geo Print top ($100).  The fold-over clutch is Street Level ($48, other colors available) and the the oxfords are the comfiest and softest you'll ever slip on your feet, by Frye ($228).</p>

  <title><![CDATA[Summer Trend : Mesh]]></title>

  <pubDate><![CDATA[June 11, 2013]]></pubDate>
  <description><![CDATA[<p>June 11, 2013</p><p><a href="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_MESH-TITLE.jpg"><img src="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_MESH-TITLE.jpg" alt="MESH-TITLE.jpg"></a></p><p>Let's be honest, mesh was the farthest thing from our minds when it came to trends to try this summer. Usually associated with workout or athletic apparel, we wouldn't dare to wear this look outside of the gym. Well, in case you've been sleeping under a rock this year, this look has been highly sought out by designers everywhere. We're seeing a lot of casual and active wear being worked into high end, as well as low end looks. Check out our favorite mesh pieces from our summer collection!</p>
<p><br /><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/b974ab1ab8884b739e42cd61702ad3db/tumblr_inline_mo16faKXvZ1qz4rgp.jpg" data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/b974ab1ab8884b739e42cd61702ad3db/tumblr_inline_mo16faKXvZ1qz4rgp.jpg" /></p>

<div><strong>Ribbon Mesh Charlie Tank</strong> - $26</div>
<div><strong>RVCA White Shadow Tank</strong> - $44<br /><br />When it comes to choosing mesh pieces, it's important to know that mesh comes in various styles - from open knit to micro mesh. You can play around with different styles and weights, which will change the look you're trying to achieve. Mesh has a tendency to look very casual, so pair it with silks for contrast, or treat small mesh like lace.<br /><br /><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/8782a2871238b51f13f2965cf0621acd/tumblr_inline_mo16gqLUKU1qz4rgp.jpg" data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/8782a2871238b51f13f2965cf0621acd/tumblr_inline_mo16gqLUKU1qz4rgp.jpg" />

  <description><![CDATA[<p>June 09, 2013</p><p><a href="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_coffee.JPG"><img src="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_coffee.JPG" alt="coffee.JPG"></a></p><p>This one goes out to all of you city goers with a harsh coffee habit. Yup, I hear ya...I am a caffeine junkie, too! But I've been thinking, wouldn't it be nice to make my own iced coffee at home? And with all the money I save, I can buy that cute Monk &amp; Lou top from Plenty! Yes, we all nod our heads in unison, because that does seem like a fine idea. So here's a very easy recipe for you. Enjoy!</p>
<p><strong>What you'll need :</strong></p>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1">- 1 cup fresh-ground coffee beans (a robust bean and a medium grind works best)</span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1">- 4 cups water</span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1">- Ice cubes</span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1">- Sugar or brown sugar (optional)</span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1">- Milk or cream (optional)</span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1">- Vanilla or agave syrup (optional)</span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><br /></span></div>
<div><strong><span data-mce-bogus="1">How to :</span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span data-mce-bogus="1"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><span data-mce-bogus="1">1. Add the coffee ground and water to a large jar or pitchers. Stir. Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight, or up to 12 hours.</span></span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><span data-mce-bogus="1">2. Strain through a coffee filter.</span></span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><span data-mce-bogus="1">3. When servicing, mix 1.5 parts coffee mixture with 1 part water (for a strong cup). Reduce coffee if you like yours a bit weaker.</span></span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><span data-mce-bogus="1">4. Add cream, brown sugar, or you can also flavor with vanilla syrup or agave syrup. Yum!</span></span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><span data-mce-bogus="1">5. You can keep the rest in your refrigerator for up to one week.</span></span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><span data-mce-bogus="1">6. Add ice cubes. (You can add coffee ice cubes, as seen in Kitchen Treaty. Love that idea!</span></span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><span data-mce-bogus="1"><br /></span></span></div>
<div><span data-mce-bogus="1"><span data-mce-bogus="1">Image from (</span></span><a href="http://cravingcomfort.blogspot.ca/2011/07/last-iced-coffee-recipe-youll-ever-need.html" target="_blank">Craving Comfort</a>).

  <description><![CDATA[<p>June 04, 2013</p><p><a href="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_BLACKWHITE.jpg"><img src="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_BLACKWHITE.jpg" alt="BLACKWHITE.jpg"></a></p><div>One of the biggest trends this summer is also one of the oldest: Black and White.</div>
<div><br />This classic combination has been seen on the runways for years mostly associated with formal attire, but has now made it's way into our daily wardrobe.<img class="mcePageBreak" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" data-mce-src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" /></div>
<div><br />Marc Jacobs (below) for example. This monochromatic look has an endless amount of possibilities when it comes to personal style. You can go for a demure look with clean lines and minimal layering, or go bold with stripes with prints and patterns. Check out our favorite pieces from Mink Pink, Free People, and Propaganda!</div>
<div></div>

<p> </p>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>1: BOLD</div>
<div><br />Here at PLENTY we love our knits and we couldn't be without this one. It's the perfect sweater for the summer. The stripes can give any outfit a whole different look. This Street Level bag is also a must - the stark white just demands attention, and the texture will definitely add an element of surprise to a solid black and white outfit.</div>
<div></div>

<div>FREE PEOPLE FRENCH CREEK PULLOVER - $121</div>
<div>STREET LEVEL FOLD OVER ZIP BAG - $48</div>
<div><br />2: CLASSIC</div>
<div></div>
<div>Here's our take on the old shirt and skirt combo. The sheer blouse with plackets is the new collared shirt. Wear a nude tank underneath tucked into our favorite high waisted pencil skirt complete with pleather detailing. With this outfit, who knows? You might just get that promotion you were looking for.</div>

<div>These dresses don't really need an introduction. The lace detailing and the bold pleats paired with the long solid stripes steal the spotlight. <br /><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/9d3c35ec71035a96076442df5c1aa59e/tumblr_inline_mnuw4jtydP1qz4rgp.jpg" data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/9d3c35ec71035a96076442df5c1aa59e/tumblr_inline_mnuw4jtydP1qz4rgp.jpg" /></div>

It was created by Michael Yabut (MEGA) and Alfred De'Tagle. Yabut, a former employee of HUF in San Francisco, was mentored in the ways of independent business and clothing production by HUF's owner, Keith Hufnagel. While they made their official debut in 1997, the project was five years in the making. The underlying focus is expression of deeper issues that effect us all in an archetypal sense, but somehow elude daily discussion (Religion, Politics, Death). Made famous by rap's newest wierdo, A$AP ROCKY, BLVCKSCVLE is popular among his music listeners and the like.</span></p>

  <title><![CDATA[The Beach]]></title>
  <link><![CDATA[http://www.plenty.com/blog/fashion/the-beach]]></link>
  <pubDate><![CDATA[May 28, 2013]]></pubDate>
  <description><![CDATA[<p>May 28, 2013</p><p><a href="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_BEACH_TITLE.jpg"><img src="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_BEACH_TITLE.jpg" alt="BEACH_TITLE.jpg"></a></p><p>We're a few weeks closer to summer, and although the weather doesn't seem to be a reminder of that, that doesn't mean it should stop us from being beach ready! We've put together a couple of looks for a typical Vancouver summer, whether it be cold, warm or hot.</p>
<div><br /><strong>Look 1 : THE OPTIMIST</strong></div>
<div>There are days we need to go to the beach because we convince ourselves it's summer, and that is what this look is all about. Wear a top that you can take on and off - dress in layers. Remember, It's easier to cool down than warm up.</div>
<div><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/3c1bf8bf245d57fe30f785334cedc137/tumblr_inline_mn9rorhXWb1qz4rgp.jpg" data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/3c1bf8bf245d57fe30f785334cedc137/tumblr_inline_mn9rorhXWb1qz4rgp.jpg" /></div>
<div>FREE PEOPLE ZAHARA SHIRT - $98
<div>PROPAGANDA STRIPE SKITTLES - $29</div>
<div>FREE PEOPLE COLORED CUT OFF - $78</div>
<div>VANS AUTHENTIC STRIPE - $65</div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;">|</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Look 2 : THE REALIST</strong></div>
<div>The easiest look for the summer is a tank top with denim cut offs. You really can't go wrong here. Our favorite summer tank, in coral, is dyed imperfectly to give that, 'I've been outside everyday this summer' vibe.</div>
<div><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/6ed52d045edcf023e472332a410b3536/tumblr_inline_mn9rrpPBPI1qz4rgp.jpg" data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/6ed52d045edcf023e472332a410b3536/tumblr_inline_mn9rrpPBPI1qz4rgp.jpg" /></div>
<div>RIBBON GDBLAST SHORELINE TANK -$36
<div>PROPAGANDA MAPLE CROP BUSTIER -$26</div>
<div>LEVI'S BLOCK PRINT SHORT - $64</div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span><br /><strong>Look 3 : THE DAYS YOU WISH YOU WEREN'T WEARING ANYTHING AT ALL</strong></div>
<div>This look isn't for everybody, but when the sun is scorching (and we hope it will be soon) this look is equivalent to diving head first into a pool. <img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/f97b4a5ff5b69f68894b1055b86926d2/tumblr_inline_mn9rz65JKY1qz4rgp.jpg" data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/f97b4a5ff5b69f68894b1055b86926d2/tumblr_inline_mn9rz65JKY1qz4rgp.jpg" /></div>
<div>
<div>PROPAGANDA YANA BUSTIER - $35</div>
<div>MINK PINK SLASHER SHORTS -$79<br />BASS CHAIN PRINT LOAFER -$99<br />ONE FATED KNIGHT BAG - $78</div>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><strong>THE SUMMER TANK / PROPAGANDA CHIFFON LINA TANK </strong>- $45</p>
<p>This tank is going to be your best friend when the sun decides to come out and play. It's light weight, airy and totally versatile. Wear it with denim shorts, skinnies, sneakers, heels... We could go on. It doesn't end here either! In the Fall, pair it with a blazer and you'll find yourself a whole new outfit.</p>
</div>
<div><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/048919c9e34c035b413d8eea7a43f792/tumblr_inline_mn9s204t5H1qz4rgp.jpg" data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/048919c9e34c035b413d8eea7a43f792/tumblr_inline_mn9s204t5H1qz4rgp.jpg" /></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></div>
<div><strong>THE SUMMER TOTE / THE HERSCHEL MARKET TOTE</strong> - $60</div>
<div>If we could bring one bag with us anywhere and everywhere, it would be this one. Take it from the office, to the grocery store, to the beach! It was made for the daily grind without looking like your average tote bag.</div>
<div><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/4f0fffeb603cc7bd9321b9e7d942f398/tumblr_inline_mn9s3lBlyl1qz4rgp.jpg" data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/4f0fffeb603cc7bd9321b9e7d942f398/tumblr_inline_mn9s3lBlyl1qz4rgp.jpg" /></div><br><br><hr><br><br>]]></description>

<p><em>Album: Raw Solutions</em></p>
<p><em>Year: 2013</em></p>
<p><em>Genre: Dance, Electronic, New Club<img class="mcePageBreak" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" data-mce-src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" /></em></p>
<p><em><br /></em>One  of 2013's most talked about underground electronic artist, Slava, has  given us a high powered dance album that is both energetic and  thoughtful.</p>
<p>This New York based artist first made his name known  through the popular dance genre Juke/Footwork. But on this album, it is  much more of a futuristic club feeling with a nostalgia for analog dance  music circa 1990's.</p>
<p>Slava  also incorporates a unique style of vocal sampling using artists like  Ciara, Beiber and t2! Their voices are chopped and hurled  at high-speeds along ethereal synthscapes and intelligent drum beats.</p>

  <link><![CDATA[http://www.plenty.com/blog/music/ladies-of-the-moment]]></link>
  <pubDate><![CDATA[April 29, 2013]]></pubDate>
  <description><![CDATA[<p>April 29, 2013</p><p><a href="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_ladies moment.jpg"><img src="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_ladies moment.jpg" alt="ladies moment.jpg"></a></p><p>Sometimes female artists get overlooked for their talent but there are many that are paving new and exciting avenues in the music world. Here are my current favorite female musicians:<img data-mce-src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" class="mcePageBreak" /></p>
<p><strong>Laurel Halo (Pictured to the Left)</strong></p>
<p>Originally hailing from Michigan but then moving to New York, Ann Arbor aka Laurel Halo, takes influence from her Mid-Western roots with incredibly composed techno. Her album of 2012, <em>Quarantine, </em>was a fav of mine, landing in my Best of 2012 list.</p>
<p><iframe data-mce-src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-VoGPL9WxWk" width="560" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-VoGPL9WxWk" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Kelela Mizankristos</strong></p>
<p><img data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/a04dba5afe9c09e371922afcb3afb752/tumblr_inline_mm0aevsAEh1qz4rgp.jpg" src="http://media.tumblr.com/a04dba5afe9c09e371922afcb3afb752/tumblr_inline_mm0aevsAEh1qz4rgp.jpg" alt="image" /></p>
<p>The young and talented Kelela is turning heads right now with her unique approach to R&amp;B. Powerful vocals would find this girl working with pretty much any producer, but Kelela seems to roll with a different kind of musical crowd. Teaming up with some of the scenes most promising and talented acts such as Teengirl Fantasy, Arca and Kingdom. Her track with Kingdom <em>Bank Head </em>is by far one of my favourite songs of 2013!</p>
<p><iframe data-mce-src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tCS-pNQMPKk" width="560" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tCS-pNQMPKk" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Fatima Al Quadiri</strong></p>
<p><strong><img data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/6f5352d678da80a99d89863b3076b7c1/tumblr_inline_mm0amiDMGi1qz4rgp.jpg" src="http://media.tumblr.com/6f5352d678da80a99d89863b3076b7c1/tumblr_inline_mm0amiDMGi1qz4rgp.jpg" alt="image" /></strong></p>
<p>New York based producer Fatima Al Qadiri brings a unique approach to club ready genres like Dubstep and Bass. Her latest release <em>Desert Strike </em>turned heads is 2012, an EP influenced by her experience as a child during the Gulf War. But not only does Qadiri produce, she also finds time under another musical alias, Ayshay. A very vocal and ethereal project. Qadiri is also a reporter for popular internet art magazine DiS.</p>
<p><iframe data-mce-src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jV8t0lD94q0" width="560" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jV8t0lD94q0" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Ciara</strong></p>
<p><strong><img data-mce-src="http://media.tumblr.com/5f34baa1fee11cffb68c9b76b784d1f3/tumblr_inline_mm0axiEnda1qz4rgp.jpg" src="http://media.tumblr.com/5f34baa1fee11cffb68c9b76b784d1f3/tumblr_inline_mm0axiEnda1qz4rgp.jpg" alt="image" /></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of my favourite R&amp;B singers is back, and my reaction is, "Wow is she ever!" Ciara's newest self titled album (released in June), is her first release in 3 years and it has definitely delivered thus far. Her track <em>Body Party </em>is incredible boasting an onslaught of great remixes. Ciara has managed to capture the world's attention once more.</p>

<p><em>Album: Chunky Monkey</em></p>
<p><em>Release: 2013</em></p>

<p>Gatekeeper's, Aaron David Ross, brings you his latest solo work under the moniker ADR. His latest release, Chunky Monkey, gives an homage to late 90's electronica Trip-hop such as the likes of Acid Jazz. ADR's sound on this album contains Acid dripping synths, tripped out drums, and the occasional tropical beat. A perfect easy-listening album that makes you think. You can stream the whole album below:</p>

Well that's no excuse not to look stylish, especially with this outfit because each piece is UNDER $100! A floral pant is a great way to add depth to a look, and it can still look simple and classic. If you don't already have one, then the crop pullover is a must for spring. It will keep you warm enough, but not weigh you down. If you choose to layer underneath, as we did here, then we definitely recommend a sleeveless button up. This minimizes the bulkiness in the arms and gives a slimming effect. If your outfit is primarily built with neutral tones, then have fun with your accessories! These bold colors work well together as accents. See below for a complete list of products and prices.</p>

<p>Denim jackets are the spring essential. You can basically wear it with anything (even denim) depending on the wash - you can brighten or tone down an outfit.<br /><br />If the ladies can layer, guys can too. Layering adds a certain depth to an outfit and also shows off how well you can style yourself (assuming you do it right). The baby steps to this trick is to start with button ups, V-neck sweaters and the like. In this case, we paired a striped henley over top of a button up. The stripe helps break down the blues and gives the outfit more of an interesting look.  We paired the outfit with Levis' classic chino in light tangerine for a pop of color.</p><br><br><hr><br><br>]]></description>

Our new PGD striped pullover (also comes in heather grey) is the perfect spring sweater. Light enough to layer and thick enough to be worn on a cold spring morning - or take it straight into fall. Whatever your surroundings, this sweater is sure to follow you around.</p>

Cuff them with flats, wear them with heels, tuck them into your favorite Frye's...These jeans will get a lot of use this season!  Next on the list is the recently back in stock Ivy Long Cardi. Speaking from experience, (I own it in two colours) this sweater gets a lot of mileage! Throw it in your beach bag, wear it on the airplane, and even throw a jean jacket over top. What an easy way to look great with little effort. Third on the list is the flowy pleated Monk and Lou skirt.  The secret is in the texture. It's so soft, no one will believe how comfortable you are when you look that good in this skirt.  The Chelsea Crews are just a must. For everyday use, comfy and cute, you can't go wrong there.  Lastly, the Matt &amp; Nat cross-body is the perfect pop of colour for any outfit. And the fact that they are environmentally friendly including the tags they use for their products, makes it an even better purchase.  Have fun with your spring look this season, everyone!</span></p>

  <description><![CDATA[<p>March 31, 2013</p><p><a href="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_afterglow-1.jpeg"><img src="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_afterglow-1.jpeg" alt="afterglow-1.jpeg"></a></p><p>We now carry Erin Templeton bags, and we are so excited about it!  Did you know that these bags are 100% produced in Vancouver? <img class="mcePageBreak" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" data-mce-src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" /> The  pieces are handmade, some even by Erin herself, and recycled leathers  are used too.  We also love the little design details, like the adorable  pencil holder in the "Good Girl" bag, and the metal bottle opener that  comes with the BYOB bag!  Yes, and we love the names and the multi  functionality of the pieces too. The Pocket Pal even has enough room to  fit a bottle of wine for those evenings on the beach.  Prices range from  $125 to $175, so reasonable for an Earth friendly, Canadian brand!</p>

  <description><![CDATA[<p>March 28, 2013</p><p><a href="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_plenty-wsale2013_social-media.jpg"><img src="/media/resampled/articleMenuElement/1030/resampled_plenty-wsale2013_social-media.jpg" alt="plenty-wsale2013_social-media.jpg"></a></p><p>Our annual warehouse sale kicks off tomorrow at 9AM at the Vancouver Convention Centre (under the Five Sails) until Monday. Expect ladies' and men's brand name clothing, accessories, ladies' house label (Propaganda, Monk &amp; Lou, Big Blue, Ribbon, Ribbon Luxe), and samples galore! Everything will be 60-90% off - don't miss out!</p>
<p>We've put together a list of do's and don'ts over our past few sales, here it is for a little refresher. See you bright &amp; early!</p>
<p><strong>DO:</strong></p>
<p>- Dress in layers. There will be fitting rooms, but it's easier if you're wearing leggings and a tank. And of course, comfy shoes!<br />- Bring a buddy or two! The more eyes the better, plus you can get an opinion.<br />- Bring cash, debit, credit. We'll be accepting all forms of payment except store credit and gift cards.<br />- Come fed &amp; hydrated. Bring some water too!<br />- Go to the bathroom beforehand<br />- Bring a reusable bag for your new goodies</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>DON'T:</strong></p>
<p>- Bring heavy layers, things of value, and large purses. We will be asking that bags be checked at the door.<br />- Bring young children or pets - they won't enjoy shopping as much as you!<br />- Bring in food - no spills please<br />- Wear heavy perfume - save it for the evening, there will be lots of people who may be sensitive to smells.<br /><br /></p>
<p>We're looking forward to seeing you this weekend! Be sure to follow us on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/getplenty" data-mce-href="http://www.twitter.com/getplenty">Twitter</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.instagram.com/getplenty" data-mce-href="http://www.instagram.com/getplenty">Instagram</a> for updates.</p><br><br><hr><br><br>]]></description>

The capped toe and the vintage style lattice work adds a perfect amount of design and texture.  <img class="mcePageBreak" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" data-mce-src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" />They are priced at $89, available in tan and black, and will be a great pair of shoes for work or play.  We also love the CoLab Kate Mini Crossbody bag for $40. The selection of bright colours for spring are a perfect way to add colour to your wardrobe without changing your entire look.  Come on Vancouver, ditch the grey for a while!</p><br><br><hr><br><br>]]></description>

The variety of parfaits is my favourite part of Chicco and they're just that - perfect! A layered dessert with lots of treats including ice cream, fruit, macarons, pudding, you name it. Top picks include Black Sesame, Green Tea, and Mango. <img class="mcePageBreak" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" data-mce-src="http://assets.tumblr.com/javascript/tiny_mce_3_5_5/themes/advanced/img/trans.gif" /></p>
