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.

Shades of Pink

April begins next week - it's the perfect time to shed your winter layers and re-introduce a splash of colour to your look. Blubird has some new additions that will add some punch to your wardrobe and a spring to your step…

This week we’re fawning over rebelliously bold pink hues like fuchsia and magenta. Equipment’s Grayson Dress in Magenta is a fresh redefinition of the classic t-shirt dress that flatters and surprises. The popular SKOT partyskirt is a Vancouver style essential which manages to be both girly and sophisticated in the same stroke. (Try the bolder Wild Strawberry or, for those who wish to make a more subtle statement, the Lady length in Tickle-me-pink.) One of our favourite additions to Blubird’s Spring 2014 collection is J Brand’s Scuba pant in Signal Pink. We can’t guarantee that they won’t cause major fashion envy amongst your girlfriends! Heading on vacation? Give your bikinis the treatment they deserve with Wildfox’s Bel Air Vinyl Bikini Bag, which doubles as a cosmetic case.

Sometimes brightening your look can be as simple as choosing the right lip colour. For a day-time look we love the chicness of this pale pink pout and nail combo. Deborah Lippmann's La Vie en Rose polish does the trick, adding just enough oomph without being overwhelming. For a girls' night out or social event, you can kick things up a notch with a bold pink lip in a neon or fuchsia shade, like ILIA's Call Me. This colour is always on trend and is the only accessory you’ll need.

It’s time to cast away the winter blues and start fresh. Spring is all about new beginnings and new beginnings take confidence. Confidence makes all the difference in the way others view us and, most importantly, the way we view ourselves. So don’t be afraid to be bold, get active, and indulge in the sweeter things in life! Treat yourself with a trip to Blubird to get inspired…

EQUIPMENT

 

The easiest and chicest throw on and go shirts (or dresses) EVER! So many fun colors and cool shapes, the Leandra (shown in the stripes) in our new favorite shape...although, we do love the classic fit of the Brett (the mini red and turquoise floral print helps too). The Mina (shown with an apple print all over this cropped tank) is the perfect shape to wear with anything high-waisted. Throw any of them on with a mini skirt or cut-offs or a great pair of jeans, even open over a tank and you will be ready for anything!

CURRENT/ELLIOTT

Loving the Spring 2012 lookbook for Current/Elliott! We just received 5 new styles that we are dying over! The most perfect shorts and cute jeans that are super wearable for everyday. All we need now is another order of our Equipment shirts to wear with the new denim and we are set!
