Eye Spy : Gold Hawk

22 Mar

Spring is officially here!

So there’s a few different ways I’ve figured people like to dress when the heat turns up:

Super tight and short – let’s call this the SEXY look

Super loose and baggy – let’s call this the BOYFRIEND look

Super Trendy – let’s call this the COCHELLA look

Super Comfy – let’s call this I LOVE COTTON, LETS GO TO THE COTTAGE look

To be honest…the list can go on.  I’m gonna stop it at that and introduce Gold Hawk.  The reason I mention all the above looks is because with Gold Hawk, it can fit into every category because it is so easy to wear.  Although most of it is made with silk (not cotton), it’s just as comfy and you feel super sexy and feminine in it.  The lace details just add that extra sass to it too!

Here’s some photos of what we got in (note: colors may vary)

Image

I’d pair this skirt with an over-sized white baggy off-the-shoulder tee, slightly tucked in at the front.

Image

This is pretty cool as is – I’d throw on a leather or jean jacket since Calgary get cold but how easy would it be to dress up a pair of skinnies with this drape top?

Image

Image

LOVE this dress…i’d do it with a nice biker studded jacket or just simply on it’s own.

And I know it can get hot but we prefer if you take these pieces and do some layering!  These are the perfect underpinnings to replace the ribbed tanks we normally throw on as a layering piece.  I’d even tuck it into my fave cut off, high waisted shorts with a cute isabel marant type bootie :)

Eye Spy : Rebecca Taylor

12 Mar

Rebecca Taylor always cuts a mean corset strapless.  Whether it’s a top or a dress, it always fits well and looks ahhhmazing!

For all you ladies looking for a beautiful summer-time maxi or for those of you looking for a grad dress that doesn’t look like a “grad dress”…you know what I’m talking about, the ones that look like they’re from 1999!  Come on down to COCO+VIOLET to check out what we just got.

Below is the corset gown…but we ordered a stunning CORAL color.  The image below does no justice on how pretty this dress really is!

Anyone need a sexy little sequinned dress?

And here’s a sweet pop of color!

We got the bright orange, but here’s what the sweater looks like on in a different color.

It’s snowing today but in the fashion world, Spring 2012 is already upon us…

No complaints here!

Especially when one of our favorite lines, Rebecca Taylor has made it’s way into the store.  Not only are we huge fans, check out some of the lovely ladies who attended the Spring 2012 show in NYC.

Rebecca Taylor is a line that should be worn mixed and not matched.  The ladies above really show how mixing can be edgier yet still feminine.

Mixing fabrics and prints is HUGE for spring so if you’re unsure of how to do it, come on in and we’ll give you a hand!

And whoops!  Almost forgot!  Here’s a few of the pieces we received today!!!

Python Suede Halter…straight from the runway!

Eye Spy : Equipment Femme

6 Jan

Winter blues?  Barely!

Since Calgary’s weather has been amazing thus far,  *knocking very hard on wood*  plus the incredible Resort/Pre-Spring arrivals that have already hit COCO+VIOLET, I couldn’t be any happier!

Good weather + Amazing styles and bright colors = Happiness!!

One of my favorite brands is Equipment Femme.  Beautiful button down tops, made of silk that go from classic solids to bright bold prints that can be styled in so many ways!  (Stay tuned for my next post: Equipment Femme How To)

Here’s a few of the styles that are currently in store (yes we have more other great styles!)

So great dressed up or down, that’s why these tops make it a no brainer for me.

New Year, Fresh Start : Helping Women In Need

4 Jan

It’s that time of year again ladies!  I think some of us are gonna get started sooner than later as Calgary’s Spring-like weather and our enthusiastic, resolution filled minds encourage many of us to get an eager, early jump on our Spring Cleans!!

During the month of December COCO+VIOLET helped out the Women In Need Society by accepting gently worn clothing and in return provided a 10% off discount towards your next purchase.  The results?  Fantastic!  We couldn’t be any happier with the amount of donations that came through!

Since we were successful and many of us have more free time now that the holiday’s are over, we thought why not start the New Year fresh by doing something good and continuing our campaign of Helping Women In Need. 

For the month of January, we will continue to accept lightly worn clothing and in return, we will continue to provide a 10% discount towards your next purchase (please note: this does not include already discounted merchandise).

Start your new year by doing something good and help us help others!

xoxo
