The Denim Darlings

Now that the sun has come out to play in Vancouver, it’s time to find the perfect pair of denim shorts to show off the legs you’ve been hiding all winter. This season, denim shorts are more chic than ever - we've chosen four denim looks to inspire your spring style...  

The Bread Winner

For when warm weather is enticing enough to wear your jean shorts to work (and provided your office culture allows for some wardrobe creativity!), make a statement. Keep this look sophisticated and professional by choosing a neutral blue cuffed short with a slightly longer length. These medium-length stunners from Joe’s Jeans fit the bill nicely. Pair them with a feminine heel to complete your office ensemble.

The James Dame

Channel your inner James Dean and rock a darker denim. J Brand adds extra edge to their Rita Zipper Cut-off shorts with double zippers. Add a vintage leather jacket and a white tee to gain instant indie street cred.

The Coachella Queen

Coachella attracts notoriously wild fashion statements from concert-goers. Set yourself apart from the crowd and choose denim with interest. The delicate stitching and light fade on these D-DID shorts pairs seamlessly with a loose white blouse to keep you cool in the Cali sun.

The High-Achiever

Every girl’s closet needs that staple pair of denim shorts that are tried and true. The high-waist on these Current/Elliot Bicycle Jean shorts is flattering and versatile. Add a chic striped tee and structured blazer and you’re ready to conquer the world.

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…
