Chic Transitions c/o Fashion Crimes

While venturing out onto Queen Street to find some hot summer sales, our intern Elena found a goldmine of lovely dresses at one of our favourite Queen West stores, Fashion Crimes. Although the summer will unfortunately soon be coming a close, there's no reason not to stock up on some cute dresses and wear them into the cooler months.

Our friends over at Fashion Crimes were sweet enough to lend us a couple lovely dresses, jewelry, and killer biker gloves for today's edition of our Daily Thread. Pictured below, our model Karen is wearing a Fashion Crimes pretty purple floral dress, but we've paired it up with some edgy booties and legwarmers, as well as a warm leather jacket and some biker gloves. Rock this look out with tights in the evening. Here, the shapes and textures juxtaposed are so right.

Karen also sports a darker and edgier night-time dress with a chic headpiece, both from Fashion Crimes, and paired it this time with some new and hot lace up booties from H&M and her own fishnets. If you're into this look but want to be a little warmer, don't be afraid to layer some heavy knits for some variation in texture or a bomber jacket for a sleek yet cozy feel.

Hurry over to Fashion Crimes and take advantage of some of their great summer/fall transition pieces, and don't forget to check out their year-round-worthy accessories as well! The sale ends soon so get going!

Hot Summer Sales!

Summertime is not only for the beach, barbeques and vacations (or being in an air conditioned office all day!) but a time to experience shopping at its absolute best. The transition that retail stores make from the summer to Fall/Winter lines presents an array of opportunities to fill your closet with pieces that can carry over through to next spring, or perhaps even your upcoming winter vacation to a sunny spot.
