Welcome, Fall

It’s official, the first day of Autumn has come and gone and the cooler weather has started to hit. So we’ve gone ahead and prepared and pulled a few looks and must have items to help you transition into our favourite fashion season, Fall. 

This light, oatmeal coloured Fillipa K wrap is the perfect transition piece! Light enough to wear now, warm enough to wear until the snow starts to fall. We've paired this jacket with a beautiful new two-tone Krista Norris Co. scarf - because just like you, we love supporting local! 

Are you a Filippa K lover? Scroll down to see what other new goods we have in store!

But remember, a Fall look is never complete without jewelry! Here is just a sample of our new (Canadian made) Wolf Circus jewelry now in store!

Looking for even more Fall fashion inspiration? Visit us in store and talk to a shop gal (we love giving fashion advice!) or follow us on Instagram @vamboutique for daily photo updates of beauty Fall looks and new arrivals!

Summertime Sadness or Fall Happiness?

Don't get us wrong, we love us a good, hot summer. But when our Pre-Fall collection hit the floors, we got pretty excited about what to wear next. We're already seeing a drop in temperatures and those cool September mornings seem to have arrived a few days early - so you can imagine how thankful we've been for our Pre-Fall over-sized knits and long sleeve dresses!

For a smooth transition into Fall we suggest wearing a combination of dark and light colors, as well as light and heavier fabrics. Scroll down to see a few of our favourite looks and items currently in store!

MYNE LA Maxi Dress (Blush): $279
Glamorous Over-Size Knit (Grey): $98
Glamorous High-Low Knit (Dark Grey): $105
Janessa Leone Hat (Black): $160 Sale $80

Festival Fashion

Of all the festivals around the world (not that we've been to them all!) we're still head over heels in love with Ottawa's own, Bluesfest. It's charm? Friendly faces, a great atmosphere and a sea of fashion forward locals. What could be better than that?

But knowing what to wear to a festival can be overwhelming, so we're here to give you a few #festivalfashion tips and tricks!

Tip #1: A hat is always a good idea! They just seem to complete the look - it's the cherry on top of that perfect festival approved outfit. Trust us!

Tip #2: Bring a large enough bag to hold all of your daily essentials (like a blanket to sit on). This way you have two hands to hold your drinks ;)

Tip #3: Lace and/or fringe tops. Enough said. See below for a close up of one of our favourites now in store!

Tip #4: Jewelry, jewelry, jewelry. And then more jewelry! Pile it on ladies. You can never have enough of it. Nothing says bo-ho chic like layers of jewels. See below for a few of our festival must-haves!

Tip #5: If you like it, wear it! If you feel confident in what you're wearing, you'll shine!
