We love when customers share their shopping experiences with us. Catherine from princessavalon.blogspot.com recently purchased these lovely headbands from us and shared it on her blog. Here’s what she said:
… I bought these two headbands from Liv by Au Lit… They are a Toronto-based store, with the prettiest things. (Thank you to Marta for introducing her readers to them!) I have been looking for a long while for whimsical, and high quality hair accessories, and the ‘Tai’ headbands that LIV carries did not disappoint me.
So very pretty, and so very meticulously made! I feel quite fairy-ish when I wear them.
Of course I had to buy two of them!! lol (Thank you, Zoey! You are a darling!!)
Thanks Catherine, happy you’re loving them!

As Julie mentioned, my name is Naomi and I recently moved to Toronto from Reykjavik, Iceland. I was welcomed to the fabulous LIV team in early May and have now joined the LIV blog. I am delighted to be considered part of the team at LIV by Au Lit. As a Sales Associate I am at LIV 5 days of the week which gives me the opportunity to keep you, the reader, updated with what’s happening in the store at all times.
Last week we had an Au Lit, Au Lit Outlet and LIV by Au Lit staff get-together, the whole team went out for dinner. This is a great example of what it means to be a staff member here. We enjoy each others company at work as well as in other more relaxed surroundings.
A picture is worth a thousand words. I’ll leave you for now with a couple of pictures from last weeks get-together.
Until next time,
Naomi

Our group has a certain “je ne sais quoi”

Here´s to a great summer
