This is a sponsored post for all the readers in Washington: win a trip for two to New York for Fashion’s Night Out, one of the biggest fashion events in the world. Fashion shows and parties will occur simultaneously all over the world September 10-12, and shopping destinations like The Bravern are organizing plenty of events to entertain over the entire weekend. But NYC is the epicenter of all the action, and if you’re 21 or over and reside in Washington, you can enter to win with a simple click here. Entries accepted until August 29.
If you’re not in Washington, be sure to check out the Fashion’s Night Out website for events in your area.
Take one of Vancouver’s top stylists, Deanna Palkowski, add a serve-yourself ice cream sundae bar, throw in some clothes and jewelery and you’ve got yourself one helluva good time. New Fall arrivals have made their way into the store – check out the Oliver & Lilly’s blog for a sneak peek at what you’ll find. Lots of great basics that have just enough class and elegance to be extremely versatile foundation pieces for your wardrobe.
Tomorrow night! Thursday August 12 at 1520 W 13th between 6:30-9:30.
Two local designers will be setting up temporary shop in Gastown soon… Mono is launching the Monoshop: Provisional on August 5th, while lily & jae is shacking up in One of a Few beginning August 26.
monoshop: provisional
Mono’s on the right track with the notion to take the pop-up shop concept on the road, with plans to travel to Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, and eventually Europe, selling the latest collections and projects by designer Heather Martin.

lily & jae will be sharing space with One of a Few starting late August and kicking things off with a fantastic launch event – not only will you find lily + jae items in this shop, but also vintage pieces hand picked by designer Judith Feller.
I was guiding a friend through my closet this morning as she prepared to dress up for a stagette this evening, when she remarked that I had “a lot” of dace in my closet. Yes, yes I do indeed. One of my favourite lines ever, and they’re based in Vancouver which means I get to harass them in person at their studio when I’m itching to shop!
Shop now and receive this adorable little stationery set by The Paper Whale with your order.
I love the new collection – the best equestrian man trousers a girl could ask for, and perfect sweaters & cardigans that are stylish enough for the city but rugged and subtle enough for the country. I’m also especially fond of the Terri Blouse:
Inventory Magazine opened up a little shop in Gastown just over a month ago and it’s stocked with treasures that have been carefully curated by the magazine staff. For a publication whose features revolve around fine clothing and innovative brands, this step between publishing and retail is a smart one to take – so long as the stockroom exists to serve and support the magazine, and not the other way around. The space also doubles as the Inventory offices, and it’s great to see a magazine of such quality and style being produced right down the block.
I’m lusting after the Quoddy Ring Boots, hand-sewn in Maine; National Anthem tees because I’m all over the nautical theme; and another pair of vintage Levi’s to add to my closet. Good thing I’m keen on donning menswear, as that’s all they carry thus far in the Inventory Stockroom. Also a nice selection of magazines, including hobo, Monocle, and of course Inventory.
Check out their online store or visit in person at 45 Powell Street in Vancouver.
Front and Company, one of Vancouver’s most cherished consignment shops located within the Main St. district, is hosting a friends and family night that will be, for the first time ever, open to the public. Food, music, and discount shopping – it’s a trifecta of awesomeness.
I seldom set foot in this store without finding something amazing to take home, and consider it not only my duty, but my pleasure, to take all my goodies there whenever I purge my closet. I have…shall we say…habits when it comes to shopping. Which means I cycle through clothes every couple months, and another massive bag of garments and shoes is about to make the mass exodus out of my crammed closet and into their sorting room.
Mention this invite on The Conveyor Belt for admission and enjoy 10% off all regular priced clothing and 20% off gifts, for one night only. Get there early to be one of the first 50 people through the door and Front will throw a goodie bag your way as a bonus.
July 14, 3772 & 3746  Main Street from 6:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. Don’t be square.
