i LOVE johnny was

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Johnny Was is a line out of California that I absolutely adore. It is so interesting and unique, every piece not only fits beautifully, but looks like art on your body. It’s a little pricier than some of our other collections, but definitely worth the investment for that one special outfit.

How sweet is this?

I notice in reviewing some recent blogs that I use alot of the dot, dot, dot (aka…)
If anyone finds this annoying, I apologize…

Tie-Dye (Tye-die?)

Friday, April 24th, 2009

I can never remember how to spell it, but I can tell you tye-dye is unbelievably hot right now at LIV. Everyday someone comes in looking for something – anything! – in tie-die. Here are some of my favourites at the store right now…

This dress is only $49!!! Also comes in pink...

We do have alot of NON-tye-die clothes too, so come and check us out. We’re looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Remember, print up my last blog entry to get 25% off pretty much anything in the store. Why? Because it’s going to be warm and sunny; because there’s a recession; and because we MISS YOU SHOPPERS and we want you back!

Peace…

Spring? Rain, sleet and windchill BE GONE!

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I don’t mean to gripe, and I certainly don’t want my blog to become a forum for complaining about the weather, but I mean COME ON!!! What was today all about? What was that torrential wind and hurricane-like rain? I’m grateful we had a wee taste of spring at the end of last week, but today was just outright abusive.

But hang on, folks. I’ve studied the 10-day forecast and they’re calling for sunshine and 23 degrees on Saturday! So let’s celebrate together. Drop by LIV on Saturday April 25th and enjoy 25% off EVERYTHING storewide (unless it’s already discounted.) And just like last time, you’ve GOT TO BRING THE PRINT-OUT OF THIS BLOG ENTRY.

We’ve got tons of new spring clothes on the floor and our coffee bar is up and running. So we’ll see you Saturday for some much deserved spring shopping!

The yellow thing hanging on the line is a T-shirt....You may actually be able to wear one this weekend! With those cute capris!

Thank you!

Monday, April 13th, 2009

I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out Saturday and shopping! You came, and you shopped. It was wonderful to have you back. Keeping reading here for more unadvertised sales and promotions. If the sun shines this Saturday, I’m going to do another storewide sale again! Anyone know the weather forecast?

The other exciting project unfolding this week is our much anticipated coffee bar! We’re hoping we’ll be ready with lattes and tea by Saturday. Hope to see you then…Lat’s pray for sunshine!

Is anyone out there??

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Hellooooooooooooooooo???? Is anyone out there? March break, Passover, Easter, recession, snowstorms…Hey, people, we MISS YOU!!
Are you there? Are you reading this? Are you shopping?

If you are out there and you are reading this and you like fashion and you need spring clothes and you live in Toronto or you don’t mind travelling, print this blog entry and bring it to LIV on Saturday April 11th and we’ll give you 25% off anything you buy. That’s right. Twenty-five percent OFF. Anything. Saturday only. But you have to print the entry and bring it with you or the salespeople won’t believe you. I haven’t given them a head’s up on this. So you MUST present it. Don’t tell them you saw my blog and I said there was 25% off blah blah blah. PRINT IT AND BRING IT. Or they won’t give you the discount!

Call it an experiment. Call it your lucky day. The offer is valid only on Saturday. That’s 25% off anything, including all the new spring clothing. We really miss you.

Stay tuned for more unexpected antics and we hope to see you on Saturday.

How will you choose today?

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

“Being happy is the cornerstone of all that you are. Nothing is more important than that you feel good. And you have absolute and utter control about that because you can choose the thought that makes you worry or the thought that makes you happy; the things that thrill you, or the things that worry you. You have the choice in every moment.”

– Abraham-Hicks
