3 Girls... 1 Dress.


The Debbie dress ($130), which arrived in stores on Thursday, is already a hit! Here are three of our lovely clients all modeling the same dress, and they all look gorgeous. Available in black, red and eggplant, the Debbie is made out of our Ponte jersey, which is nice and heavy so it doesn't show any lumps and bumps that you might have! It can easily be dressed up with the right jewellery and footwear, or can be layered with a skinny turtleneck or long sleeve t-shirt and flat boots for an office-appropriate ensemble.

What's in the Window this Week!


Dress: Girl Friday Shannon in chocolate brown- $130
Necklace: HEN vintage necklace- $44
Bracelets: Erica Weiner belt bracelets- $15 each

We all love to wear black, but the deep, rich brown can sometimes be more flattering, especially when we're all sun-deprived! I also think the colour complements gold accessories much better than black.



Cami: C'est Moi black cami- $18
Jeans: Dish Deseray Portofino- $92
Cardi: Free People woven cardigan- $148

The Deseary Portofino from DISH comes in a regular 9 inch rise. A perfect option for those who prefer not to show their muffin tops. The lurex threaded cardigan adds a little bling to a super cozy sweater.

New York, New York

I spent a glorious long weekend in New York this month! The weather was perfect, the hotel was excellent, the restaurants were divine, and the shopping was great! I thought I would show y'all some of the trends that I saw in New York, all available at Girl Friday. Most of these are no-brainers (I know), but thought you'd enjoy looking at them all the same! Plus, it helps me write off my trip!

What's in the Window this Week!


Sweater: Free People striped knit oversize sweater- $164
Jeggings: Yoga Jeans in blue rinse- $110
Cami: C'est Moi black camisole- $16
Necklace: ZAD Ship Necklace- $20

I love contrasting dimensions in my wardrobe. Nothing pairs better with a super-skinny jean, (which are soooo comfortable by the way) than a cozy, oversized sweater.


Dress: Girl Friday Pauline plaid dress- $145
Cardi: Pure & Simple loop cardigan- $64

This is an homage to "Mad Men". The show has helped bring the classic shapes from the early 60's back to the forefront of fashion. With the Pauline dress, you can give a little nod to times past, while still looking great in the present!









Shirtdress: DEPT plaid shirtdress- $125
Clutch: HOBO Aston wristlet in Rogue- $68

This is a perfect no-fuss top. Throw it on with some leggings, put on your boots and you're out the door ready to face whatever Toronto has in store for you.

What's in the Window this Week!


Coat: Soia & Kyo Cali grey wool coat- $385

Made in Canada by Canadians, Soia & Kyo coats can take you through the harsh winter. The wool is blended to provide more durability and resistance to the elements. Not only will you be able to brave the bitter winter, but you will do it in style with this stunning grey coat. (also available in black)


Dress: Kensie print dress- $68
Shrug: Kensie knit shawl sweater- $68
Necklace: CPAK beads- $26 each

Don't be a wallflower at your holiday parties this year! Wear a dress that will stand out, like this one from Kensie. It's a beautiful purple winter floral and is sure to catch everyone's eye.









Blazer: Girl Friday Carmen blazer- $160
Jeans: Dish Trixie "diamond" wash - $94
Tee: Numph "shy box" print tee
Necklace: ZAD deer necklace- $15

Another classic blazer from our Girl Friday label. The Carmen (also available in brown) is the perfect blazer to dress up your favourite denim, or to throw on with some trousers for the office. We love it paired with the Trixie jean from dish, perhaps the best selling denim in the store. Trixie is a classic straight cut, a great option for those who want the look of a skinny, but don't want to wear jeans that could pass for leggings.

Friday, November 13, 2009

What's in the Window This Week!

Necklace: ZAD tree necklace- $20

Holiday parties are fast approaching and this black number from Numph is guaranteed to get you a few kisses underneath the mistletoe.








Dress:Justine Red- $140

Wrap dresses are a customer favourite at Girl Friday. They fit any body type, and can be worn almost anywhere! The Justine is a 3/4 sleeve, perfect for the fall! It comes in red, paisley print, blue print, chocolate brown and black.









Top: Free People Mist top- $121
Jeans:Second Yoga Jean- $110

'Love the look of denim, and love the feel of yoga pants. Try on this hybrid pant, and we promise you, you won't ever want to take them off. They are incredibly soft and stretchy, but still look sharp enough to dress up with this beautiful tank from Free People.

Monday, November 9, 2009

The structure of this dress is beautiful. It is immaculately tailored and sure to be an instant closet classic for any season.

Featured this Week: Sweaters!

It seems like everyone has a cold, or heaven forbid... the flu right now. Dr. Girl Friday's prescription is to have some chicken noodle soup, watch some bad reality TV (The Real Housewives of Atlanta, anyone?) and cozy up in one of our gorgeous sweaters. This is a sure-fire remedy, even if you're not sick!

Kelsey's wearing:
Sweater: Michael Kors black open cardigan- $175
Belt: BRAVE belt- $44

I love the versatility of a sweater like this. Keep it casual and wear it open, or give your outfit some pizzazz and belt it like Kelsey did.








Tessa's wearing:
Sweater: Odd Molly grey knit wrap- $205

Warm, cozy and stylish; the alpaca/wool blend provides so much warmth that Tessa needed to go outside to cool off in style on Queen street. An alternative to a fall jacket!












Dee is wearing:
Sweater Dress: DEPT batwing sweater dress -$110
Belt: Brave piper belt -$44

Perfect with a pair of boots, this is a great way to stay warm and look hot during a cold winter! This sweater dress looks great as is, but becomes more versatile layered with a tank or skinny turtleneck underneath and a pair of leggings or skinny jeans.












Jenn's wearing:
Sweater: Michael Kors double breasted cardigan- $175

Warm, but slim enough to wear under coats. Perfect for layering.

What's in the Window This Week!



Dress: NUMPH Siljie Black dress w/Sequin-$125
Clutch:HOBO Ally black patent wristlet- $68
Bracelet: Three's Company Bracelet $16

Every girl needs a little black dress, and I love this one in particular. I love the sequin detail, it's sparkly, but not too much. This dress would be perfectly accessorized with a martini in hand.












Dress: Girl Friday Loretta in Chocolate Brown-$130
Cardigan: Michael Kors Leopard Cardigan -$145
Necklace: CPAK necklace- $44
Bracelet: CPAK bracelet-$18

The beautifully cut Loretta dress, from Girl Friday's own label, paired with a cardigan is perfect for any event. This look is an instant classic. You could wear this 10 years from now and still look incredibly chic. We think that the mark of a great dress is one that never goes out of style... and can be worn a million ways!










Blouse: NUMPH clickity blouse- $130
Pants: DISH Paris "raven" wash- $88
Belt: BRAVE Heather belt-$50

I always love black denim. It gives the look of a dress pant, but still keeps an outfit edgy. It also allows for your dressy top to really stand out and the jeans are so versatile they can be worn with a t-shirt, cardigan and flats!
