Hmmm… what’s the best way to layer? We asked Katie Frappier and Regine Paquette this question. They’re the co-owners of Ottawa boutique Victoire where winters can get as cold as -39. We figured that they MUST be experts. Also, we just wanted an excuse to talk to them. These are two awesome ladies.

The Hunted Few
Vancouver’s The Hunted Few has been super busy on Garmentory. People can’t get enough of the Young Frankk and Odette NY jewelry she stocks. So we asked her what she looks for when she buys jewelry. She got rad taste.
Summerland
Everyone who’s ever been to Portland, Oregon falls in love with the city. How could you not? There’s no tax, everyone rides a bike, and there’s great shopping. We know all the reasons why we like Portland so we had to ask Summerland owner Megan Hart why she loves it as much as she does.
Vincent Park
We looove Cara Stryer and Lauren Kurc. These two sisters own Vancouver’s Vincent Park Boutique and are too adorable for words. We asked them about their fave footwear purchase and they had the same answer. So cute, you wanna puke.

Meet the Designers: Alynne Lavigne
ALYNNE LAVIGNE is a Canadian jewelry brand with a focus on both statement and versatile pieces. The current designs link medieval-era chainmaille, Art Deco, and late ’80s and early ’90s style by way of geometric shapes and exaggerated proportions.
Designers Alynne Lavigne and Eve Tobolka have been collecting vintage costume jewelry for nearly a decade, which has been a source of great inspiration. So we asked the duo to show us their mood board (above) and to tell us about their process, because they cool like dat.
Violet Boutique
We’re getting an itch for a getaway. A trip to Paris would be amaaazing. So we asked Genevieve Allen of Vancouver’s Violet Boutique what we should check out. She always knows the sweetest places to visit.
