Canadian Content: Yoga Jeans

Last week we featured new Canadian knitwear line John & Jenn. We recieved a great response to their amazing collection, and everyone's really excited that the line is based out of Toronto. So every week for the next month, I'm going to share other fabulous Canadian based clothing companies. So let's celebrate our Canadian Content!


Yoga Jeans have hit the nail right on the head with their perfect blend of style and comfort. They really are the most comfortable denim you will ever wear, you will never want to put on your stiff old blue jeans again! Yoga Jeans retain the integrity of the jean (no slouchy knees or saggy bums here!), they bend and stretch as you move, and they look great any way dressed up or casual! Based out of Montreal, and manufactured in Canada, (how many denim companies can say that!) they are a true Canadian success story. Everyone's talking about them from New York to LA, and we are proud to have been carrying them from the start! They have a great selection of styles and washes, and keep your eyes out for the coloured Yoga Jeans arriving this Spring!

High-rise super skinny in Indigo $120

We also carry High-Rise skinny in Ink, Charcoal, Over-dye Black, and Indigo, Mid-Rise skinny in Ink, and Over-dye Black, Mid-Rise bootcut in Blue-Black, and the new Pull-On High-Rise Straight in Black.

Valentine's Outfits!

Whether you love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is almost here!! The great thing about Valentine's Day is that it can be anything you make it! A romantic dinner out, a fun lunch date, or a night out with your best friends. We each picked our favourite outfits to wear on our V-day dates!

Stephanie chose the classic Girl Friday Diane dress in black -$130 (also available in coral!) for her romantic dinner date. The Diane is a classic wrap dress that flatters EVERY body type. You will be amazed at how great this dress looks on. It's feminine and flirty, but also versatile and extremely comfortable. Steph dressed it up with a vintage inspired locket from Erica Weiner- $55, and will pair it with a classic pair of heels. We're sure her man will agree that she looks smashing!

Tessa is meeting her main squeeze for a daytime lunch date. She's staying super cute, but relaxed and casual in this amazing print top by DEPT- $89. Paired with a navy Press cardigan- $89 and the new high-rise Yoga Jean pull-ons in black -$118, Tessa is super comfortable, yet edgy and stylish. Plus with the super soft waistband of the Yoga Jeans, she can indulge in a delicious lunch, instead of picking at a lettuce leaf.

Kelsey is meeting her Valentine for an after work cocktail. This new Freeway bubble dress- $65 is sweet and girly, without the frills. Accessorized with some great Jayu bow studs- $15, Erica Weiner bracelets- $35 and a HEN feather necklace- $36, it's a complete outfit for less than $150!
