Peter Kaiser Spring

 

After a long winter of cold, rainy days and bundling up in woolens and sensible boots, nothing says spring like shedding the bulky layers and stepping out in a fresh and ladylike look.

 

Nobody does pretty and elegant like Peter Kaiser, and this spring is no exception. From this season’s must-have kitten heels to trendy block-heeled pumps to delicate flats, the line includes feminine neutral shades of blush and cream and eye-popping shots of colour like lipstick red and hot pink. Peter Kaiser’s signature patterns round out the collection, with pointillist stripes of multicoloured dots banding a classic pump, or sophisticated jungle florals gracing a slingback. With unparalleled craftsmanship and style, each pair puts a perfect finishing touch on spring looks.

 

Put on your most colourful pair of Peter Kaisers and you’ll blend right in among the stunning tropical flowers and birds of the Bloedel Conservatory. This oasis of tropical warmth in Queen Elizabeth Park boasts more than 120 free-flying exotic birds and 500 exotic plants and flowers. Enjoy the stunning view from the top of Vancouver’s highest vantage point.

For example: GIFT CERTIFICATES, new pillows, new coffee makers, new towels, new toasters. In previous years, the event raised over $15,000 in cash making it possible for us to continue offering a safe, supportive home, counselling and programs to women and children who have left situations of domestic violence. Please go to www.wingsofprovidence.ca for more information about WINGS and the Home Next Door, our child and youth programs, and the many other services that are offered to help families heal from abuse.

Orchid Care 101: How Do I Care for a Resting Orchid? www.justaddiceorchids.com Did you know resting is a normal part of your Phalaenopsis orchid's lifecycle? Follow these orchid care tips while your plant is in hibernation.

 

The white orchid stands for innocence, beauty and elegance

Most of us know or relate to meaning of rose colors. Red means love, Pink means I like you and Yellow means friendship. We never associate orchids and their color meaning. Orchids are more symbolic. For example, during the Victorian Era, it was custom to give an exotic and rare flower to show your love and affection. The more exotic the flower, the deeper, the more passionate love you had for the person.

Of course, times have changed a bit. Certain orchids, like Phalaenopsis Orchids are not considered to be as rare as they once were in Victorian times. One thing that has not changed, are the orchid colour meanings, a plethora of colours to symbolize distinguished people and situations in your life.

 

Try on the elegance and distinguished style with the newest collection from Lord's classic brand GERSHON GRAM. The Spring & Summer Looks from this colleciton are soft and simple; featuring subtle prints, spring blouses and tuniques for the women who wants class and something with a touch of delicate beauty.

While Canadians are generally the first to point out our homegrown fashion designers who have made it abroad — hey there, Erdem! — we're always proud to draw attention to the names and labels that maintain their home base right here in Canada.

 

A long time Canadian designed and made line at Lord's is our beloved PERIPHERY from Toronto. The spring collection features classic cuts, sharp lines and everything from basic blacks to soft blush pinks plus all shades of greys in between. Come down to South Granville and view the entire collection while sizes and colours are in full stock; the collection is limited.
