    I adore the minimalism of this room. It’s so relaxing, I want to crawl into the bed and spend an afternoon reading in it.

    It’s a beautiful day! | No Comments »

    February 18th, 2011

    The beautiful sun and spring weather has inspired us to do a little bit of spring tidying and sprucing around the store today. Things are looking good, inside and out!


    This new Factory dress is set off perfectly by this table of accessories, especially the Edmoure Ralph Monthly Charm Necklaces and the 442 McAdam bags. It all looks so elegant!


    We love the beautiful light linens and cottons in the new pieces Fine Collection, and the colours are as soft as the fabrics!

    Hope you enjoy the beautiful day and maybe get inspired too!

    February 8th, 2011

    Finding jeans we love that also fit well is something many of us struggle with. On the frustration meter, I find it can be right up there with shopping for a bathing suit! That’s why I have to share about the new Fidelity jeans that have just arrived @ Liv. They have a comfortable rise and sexy fit for all kinds of body types. Come in and try a pair, they won’t disappoint!

    Bold colours like deep purples, yellow and orange

    CHALLENGE: Six items or less in 30 days! | No Comments »

    January 22nd, 2011

    You may have heard about http://sixitemsorless.com/
    It challenges people to wear only six items or less for 30 days and blog about their experiences while doing it. (the six items do not include shoes, accessories, undergarments or outerwear) This inspired us to come up with some tips on how to do this at LIV.

    For our six items we chose a pair of black leggings, dark wash skinny jeans, a black blazer, a long sweater, a dress and a long sleeve top to mix and match for the 30 days. We were able to come up with 10 different outfits using these pieces. It was important to choose items which were solids and didn’t have much pattern, so they would be less memorable when worn over again. We also tried to pick pieces that could be layered so that we weren’t just matching 3 tops to 3 bottoms. Of course, we used different accessories to create visual interest and diversity for day to day wear (which is allowed) and shoes would help achieve this as well.

    Here’s what we came up with:

    Overall, it’s a great little experiment to try out in your own closet. It forces you to get creative with what you have and helps to determine what you might need to complete some awesome new looks. With our sale still going on, the total cost of the six items selected for our experiment was $552! For 10 new outfits thats a great deal! Who’s up for the challenge?
