Whatever time of year its is, come rain or shine, a woman never has enough jewelry. Am I right?

Look no further for beautiful, fun, feminine jewelry that you can wear year round. We just got some new items in from Biko. Their jewelry goes with pretty much any outfit, which is good if you are already in fall shopping mode.

Come in and see for yourself!

So I’m on vacation and I’m thinking a lot about important things, like my fall wardrobe. (How else to combat the end of summer blues?) I’ve been studying the September issues of my favourite fashion magazines and reviewing all the new collections that are already pouring into LIV (can’t wait for the big fall unveiling next week when Julie gets back from her honeymoon!)  I also did some intense window shopping in NYC this week while on a buying trip for linens. And this is what I’ve come up with for my Top 12 Must-have Items for Fall:

1. Tweed hound’s tooth blazer (Imagine: horseback riding)

2. Skinny cargos

3.  Silk pocket shirt

4. Camel coloured-sweater

5. All Saints Booties with buckles

6. Velvet blazer

7. Silk holiday dress

8. Military jacket

9. Velvet boyfriend shirt

10. Leather leggings (That’s right. Leather pants. It’s time to bring them back.)

11. Black skinny-bootcuts (May as well bring back boot-cuts too. But these are a more current version.)

12. Diane Von Furstenburg dress in army green and dusty pink (my 2 favourite colours this fall)

  Luckily, I can pick up most of my list at LIV! And so can you!!

The bad news is summer is coming to an end. The good news is we are getting new fall clothing in and for us lovers of fashion this should be cause for great joy. The transition from summer fashion to fall is always a fun one, seeing as it’s a chance to go shopping for new clothes. So enjoy these hot days and remember that although fall brings us cooler weather, you can always find great clothing here at LIV to warm you up!

For fashion inspiration take a peak in “The Sartorialist” available here at LIV $31.00.

Fall/Winter clothing is just around the corner here at LIV…

As a way to share the experience with everyone in our Au Lit + LIV family who could not be here, and as a special little tribute to Jule + Jer, herewith is an album of the day’s festivities. And for those of you who love what we do at LIV + Au Lit, you’ll find this a feast of merchandising, graphic design and fashion excellence!

Enjoy! And to Jule + Jer, may you have a long, joyful life together. (And at Au Lit)

The sign that says it all!

Julie Brown is getting married to her betrothed, Jeremy Watt, today. Happy Days.

All of us at LIV wish them all the best. We truly do.

A good job never goes unnoticed.

Thanks for the lovely treats, it was a great surprise on this sunny Saturday afternoon.

I’d like to believe that our beds at LIV are the most luxurious and not to mention cozy beds that can be found in the Greater Toronto Area.

Bella Notte bedding is gorgeous looking. It’s available in many colours and fabrics. Bedding that your heart desires.

Our very own Lavato line mixed in with Chelsea Stripe. Casual, livable luxury.

For a natural color and comfort go with natural linen.

“Nobody minds having what is too good for them” Jane Austin knew what she was talking about. And when it comes to bedding, so do we!
Oh and last but not least, our summer sale is in full swing. Our bedding is now at 20% off!

I don’t often mention my personal life on our blog, but I’m excited to announce that I’m getting married in one week! The wedding is at Joanna & Miguel’s house in Kennebunk, Maine and has been very much inspired by the Au Lit/LIV style. I’ll be away until the end of August, but I look forward to sharing photos and stories when I get back. Happy summer everyone!
