L’Ecole Des Femmes – Normandie

May 14, 2013November 11, 2014Leave a comment

I only very recently came across L’Ecole Des Femmes. I had been browsing lookbooks trying to get a feel for Larkspur’s upcoming Summer one, and I was pleasantly surprised when I found these images. I can confidently say, almost all their lookbooks are captivating. They have a knack for picking the right photographer, location and models, mashing all those things together and creating images that are utterly breathtaking. This particular one was shot by David Shama in Paris and Normandy (actually click the link, he’s amazing!!!). Model, Adeline Jouan could have one of my favourite faces. I have a soft spot for any girl with a gap tooth and a face that is stunning without copious amounts of make-up (curse you!). Jessica Pare, meet your blonde doppelganger and my new girl crush.

Even if naughty professor and school girl attire is not your cup of tea, I highly suggest checking out L’Ecole Des Femmes. If only for the decades past vibes and some artistic inspiration vibes.

Monday has a feel…Tuesday doesn’t have a feel

Don’t let this blogpost fool you, our weekend in Toronto was actually hail storms, winter coats and staying indoors. We took these pictures last weekend when Kira’s fiance, Dave was in town, and the weather was still wonderful and Summery! I can’t complain though, Alex and I faked Spring by making a really delicious sangria on Saturday night and staying in her apartment watching stupid internet videos and talking non sense. Otherwise, it was a quiet couple of days, mostly, I just skyped with my Mom for Mother’s day and went on a solo adventure to Ikea. My new items will be delivered this evening, so Kira’s coming over to get a little bit tipsy with me and attempt assembly…

We’ll be extra busy this week getting all our stock ready for the Spring Vintage Market in Montreal next weekend. As a reminder, the shop will be closed starting this Friday, and will re-open on Tuesday, so if there are items you’ve had your eye on, now’s the time!

Shop Update (Not)

The month of May is a busy one for Larkspur, and is flying by all too quickly for our liking. We won’t have shop updates this week or next on account of some prep work that we need to be doing for the Montreal Spring Vintage Market next weekend. We’ll be putting the shop in vacation mode while we’re away, and we think (hope) that a lot of our items will be going at the sale, so if there are things you’ve been eyeing, now’s the time to snatch them up! Our regular weekly shop updates will resume on the 23rd of May.

We have some pretty exciting things coming up as well, including a giveaway through one of our favourite blogs, and a Summer lookbook which is being shot soon by our favourite girl, Kira Crugnale. So, stay tuned for that!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Lauren Moffatt (belated) SS13

May 6, 2013Leave a comment

There couldn’t be a collection more suited to my idea of Spring and Summer than Lauren Moffatt’s SS13 collection. Perfect outfits for date nights to ice cream shops, sangria in the park, outdoor movies, lakeside bike rides and girls nights eating oysters & drinking champagne on a patio somewhere.

I’m well aware how late I am on posting this, but until recently there was no point torturing myself with Spring/Summer collections at all. But it’s warm now, and with my first sunburn of the season, comes my first post about Summer clothes. So bear with me while I make my way through all the amazing collections that have already been covered by every other blog out there!
