We absolutely love getting new deliveries at Meese! Today’s surprise was getting J’Adore as well as Birds of North America. Here are some awesome pics of the new Birds of North America pieces….

The pieces are so amazing, trust us, we haven’t even finished unpacking everything and we already sold a ‘Plover Dress’ while it was being steamed…

( the ‘Plover Dress’ is the navy blue one with the white buttons on the shoulder, pictured last, oh so sweet! )

We have started to receive our new spring at Meese! Come on into the store to see the new SESSA Wearables, Cinder & Smoke, and more Second Denim jeans.

(here are some pics of the new Cinder & Smoke pieces)

stay tuned because we are sure next week will be full of more new spring gems!

So after much debate I finally bought my winter coat. I really surprised myself by going with the black Elroy coat in the end. I personally don’t own a tonne of black, but I decided maybe I should have a solid black wool coat. This Elroy jacket is amazing, not only is it made with recycled material its super cute too. The sleeves are nice and big so I can fit a sweater or blazer under it, and the waist is nicely highlighted with a tie belt. Oh yes, and the pockets are HUGE! Which is really important, they can hold an entire lunch including my banana. All in all I would have to say that this is officially my new favorite coat. Thank you Elroy for giving girls like me a reason to go out in the cold.

…..if you don’t have your favorite winter coat yet, come on down to Meese and find it…..

Last night with Meese crew in tow (even through my ear/vertigo troubles) we attended the kick-off to Edmonton’s Fashion Week.  The show was featuring the new graduates from Marvel College. ( which I had the pleasure of meeting and teaching them draping earlier this year )

Every year Marvel College puts out an awesome variety of talented designers, and as always we were very impressed with the collections, and fit of the garments.  Great music, beautiful hair and make-up, and fantastic models.  What a grande way to start off Fashion Week.  So keep your eyes on these new budding designers…. we are sure to see them in the future.

Congraduations!!
