It's All in the Handbag

"While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence - which, I believe, does make the woman."

Let's face it, somedays we only feel as good as what we're wearing. Self-confidence is a woman's best friend, but the right handbag is next in line. Hence why it's vital that you find the bag that will be there for you everyday! The Italian handbag line Coccinelle produces 4 collections of gorgeous handbags every year and we have chosen our top three picks, all available in Blubird.

The Perforated Clutch is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Versatile, ageless, and light-weight this clutch will stun in the evening or in the sunshine.

The Crossbody with large metal detail is designed with function in mind. The long strap allows you to sling it over your shoulder when you're on the go, or wrap the chain strap around the bag for an edgy evening look.

The Saffiano's beauty lies in its simplicity. A classic black bag at first glance, the soft-gold detailing sparkles when paired with a LBD.

Summer Blooms with Malene Birger

Some of the best fashion design is inspired by the world's greatest muse: Mother Nature. Designer Malene Birger has taken summer's bloom and imprinted its natural beauty on her new collection now decorating our Pre-Fall section. 

The delicate Amanda Silk Tank rests effortlessly underneath the retro Cuzia Bomber Jacket and gives your natural feminine style a little edge. Combine the Synna Neoprene Sweatshirt with the Dickow Flower Printed Skirt for a look that is as sophisticated as it is youthful. Both looks suit a seamless transition from the workday to after-hours.

Design Icon: Rebecca Taylor

For the past fifteen years Rebecca Taylor has been establishing herself as a designer to watch, and we're taking notice. Her designs are timeless, effortless, and sophisticated. No wardrobe is complete with out a "perfectly Taylored" piece hugging its hangers. 

Clockwise from left: Rebecca Taylor's Silk Embellished Tank is subtly embellished and ideal for a night-out. The Embellished Floral Top is for the days when work transitions into a sunset bike-ride on Jericho beach. The girl bosses of Vancouver will love the Diamond Tweed Blazer which is stitched with sophistication. Finally, the Rebecca Taylor piece we cannot get enough of this season is the flirty Floral Maxi that never fails to impress.

Whatever you covet, all items are available in store!

Picnic Season

That West Coast rain is starting to be less and less of an uninvited party guest in Vancouver. With summer fast-approaching we want our Blubird girls to be prepared for all the essential summer activities, one of the classics being the picnic party. Whether it’s a laid-back, rosé-equipped affair with your best girl friends or a romantic adventure, we’ve got you covered for the elements. 

The laid-back diner should be sophisticated and cozy. We love this ivory knit ALC sweater paired with these appropriately checkered Equipment shorts. Deborah Lippman’s iconic polish in “Daytripper” and this soft-pink Gianni Chiarini Gum Bag add just enough summer splash to your ensemble.

To bump your picnic-game up a notch we suggest a flirty Party Skirt balanced with an Equipment blouse that says fruit isn’t just for dinner. Polish this look off with a Fresh Sugar lip-balm in “Cherry” and let the magic of a summer night do the rest.

Spring Style Recap - Our VIP Shopping Event

A few weeks ago we hosted a little VIP shopping event to showcase our favourite spring pieces in an intimate fashion show.  From Clover Canyon's surrealist prints and Risto's textural knits to our exclusive collections from Italy and must-have accessories, the evening was full of eye-catching fashion that runs the gamut from essentials to showstoppers. 

Lyndi Barrett, PR maven and Editor-in-chief of StyleCalling.com, writes, "Pretty pastels, bright citrus colours, lace, and fun prints were on display. We loved the fabulous array of accessories including the shoes, hats and purses."

In true Blubird fashion, what event would be complete without champagne and canapés? For a full event recap and additional photos, see the Style Calling article here.
