There was a time when baby boys and girls were not gender identified by the little blue onesie, or frilly pink dress, rather, they were largely, simply attired in white as it was easy to bleach. Then in 1927,Time Magazine published a colour guide for what should be worn on the wee one. Until then, believe it or not, pink was felt to be the stronger colour thus, thought better for boys. Recently I heard some pre-teens correcting each other...'there's no such thing as boys and girls colours!' So, perhaps, gender distinguishing colours...could they be a thing of the past? Thankfully blue jeans, are not and never will be just for boys! Let's have a look at some blues and some possible pairings!

I love this t shirt for when I'm happy, unhappy, annoyed, irritated, frustrated...and pretty much any emotion we humans are equipped with as, I always figure it might help me espouse the feeling. That or a donut! These classic jeans are an unbelievable fit. A totally wearable length for, boots, booties, high heels, espadrilles or flip flops. Such is the beauty of jeans... they go with everything from pearls to Plimsolls!

B Young happy T shirt (white) $29

Mavi Tess highrise skinny (dark grey vintage) $118 until April 28 $98

I love these botanical prints. At first glance I thought maybe they looked a bit like Grandmother's old throw cushions. But, hey, what's old is new again. And if you tend to be a huge pink fan, it's all about the pretty!

Bolide floral blouse (pink or white) $60

Kaffe print cotton t shirt (blue/white) $49

Yoga skinny highrise ankle jean (white) $138 until Apr.28 $118 (made in Canada)

And because we now know Kimono's are everywhere, they of course look amazing with jeans. Soon we'll be looking for things that add to the look, but with an appropriate lightness to match the weather.

Cream Kimono (blue/green) $119

Mavi Tess highrise skinny (deep supersoft) $128 until April 28 $108

Yoga skinny highrise ankle jean (white) $138 until Apr.28 $118 made in Canada

Another thing to try is a fabulous scarf such as the one above left. Wrap it around your neck in a whimsical fashion or open it up, and use it as a shawl. Plum has some fabulous Jewellery and I'm sure you'll be able to find something that draws out the metallic. As well the blue ties into the denim so perfectly.

Cream broad stripe scarf (blue/brown/metallic) $39

Mavi Alissa highrise super skinny (mid indigo Tribecca) $118 until Apr. 28 $98

ImageImage

Above left is a light breezy blouse that compliments the jeans on the right with such perfection. Add a few pendants and a wide brim hat, and it's a great look for a dinner date!

Grade+Gather long sleeve blouse (cream or rose) $69

Kaffe gather waist short (midnight marine) $69

Yoga Rachel classic rise skinny jean (Prague) $130 until Apr.28 $110 made in Canada

ImageImage

Perhaps you have some upcoming fun events planned, like the Calgary Beerfest or the Stampede. This is a really sexy look without being too over the top. The jeans on the right, try wearing with a pair of killer black boots or open toed booties.

Maronie twist front speckled knit top (grey or taupe) $59

Yoga Dominique straight leg jean (dark indigo or medium indigo) $130 until Apr.28 $110 made in Canada

Thankfully, by the time little ones can talk, they are able to express... 'I DON'T LIKE PINK!' (well, that would have been me). I really prefer to find my pink on the inside of a steak, a tall lemonade, cotton candy or cherry blossoms! And despite the fact that it's known to produce feelings of hopefulness, comfort and calmness, it's still not for me. Perhaps it could be a worthwhile uniform for military!

While quantities last, Plum has some of it's best, and most popular Yoga jeans styles on sale at $ 79 and $ 89. So, unless you have a uniquely special way of making even 'Mom' jeans look great, it might be time for a pair of Yoga jeans. Mom or not, we all want comfort AND style! Put them on, don't give them a second thought, this is likely what 'Second' was thinking when they created these divine jeans. Make them comfortable, make them stylish, make them in Canada. Looks like they hit all important points.

Plum's owners took a little trip to Quebec where Yoga's are made, to have a look for themselves. This is the busy Canadian factory where these jeans are produced.

Image

You don't need to be a prima ballerina to test these out. Any regular day will do! Made from only premium denim and designed specifically so they do not gape at the waist. Bend over, dance, have a nap, these will not fail you in any of your activities. Mainly helping you reach your goal of looking super sexy!

ImageImage

Boot cuts are such a great option to the ever present skinny.  Contrast them with a lovely lace, cut out top. Look for a cut out leather bootie or open toe wedge or espadrille's to tie the two together. Yoga jeans are made with extra dye to produce a more rich, unique look so remember to wash them before wearing them.

Yoga bootcut highrise rinse indigo jean now $79

Grifflin shell lace top $49

ImageImage

Generally speaking, black jeans will go with anything....just experiment, after all, it's not dental surgery.  T shirts are frequently the obvious and easy choice. (you will be beautiful, and not so much broke, as the jeans are on sale). Brains and beauty, hard to beat that combination.

Yoga highrise skinny jeans $79

Michelle 'broke but beautiful' t shirt $49

Image

There are far more styles than shown here. Without a doubt you'll find yourself in a pair that will blow your mind.

Yoga jeans are made right here in Canada, from premium denim. In some cases, the denim finish is hand worked to give it the authentic, lived in look. Truly a company that cares as much about quality as you do.

Made in Canada with Love

As Rebekah said goodbye to Plum, I'd like to introduce myself as the new face behind the No Guru blog. My name is Lindsay and I am a lover of all things fashion. I think we'll get along well!

Here at Plum, for this Canada Day long weekend, we are celebrating all things Canadian, especially our favorite fashion brands designed and made with love right here at home.  Plum shoppers adore the fact that our in-house designs are made in local Vancouver factories. 

Image

Manufacturing locally, we have a distinct advantage in ensuring the excellent fits that we are known for in our Simone and Tobias lines. Our designs are made in limited quantities so each style is unique, not mass-produced, but is still right on trend.

Image

Second Jeans also designs and manufactures our favorite Yoga jeans in la belle province of Quebec. By keeping their manufacturing 3 hours from their headquarters in Montréal, they are able to respond immediately to new denim trends. Also, by producing locally, they need to meet Canadian environmental standards so their dyes and washes won't pollute our waterways.

Image

This season, we are loving the ankle cuff skinny Yoga jean in red, blueberry and teal regularly $120, now on sale for $75 for 5 days only! Two other deals you will want to take advantage of are the high-rise skinny Yoga jean in white regularly $120, that is now priced at $89 and our high-rise skinny ankle length Yoga jean in black and classic blue regularly $110, that is now priced at $85.

Midnight Cactus, our lovely jewellery line, is proudly made by hand in Nova Scotia. Pat Manthorne, the designer, uses only sterling silver and semi-precious stones to create stylish earrings. This weekend, all jewellery, including Midnight Cactus, is 50% off for 5 days only!

Plus, there will be many more specials in store.

I hope to see you there!

Your New Favourite Pair of Jeans

 

 

Image

Image

Highrise skinnies in Indigo, $120 on sale for $95! Plum's Yoga Jeans (in Black, Ink, Indigo, and Recycled Brown) will be priced at $95 for four days only (October 25-28), so get them while they're hot!...which is always. 

How do you explain Yoga Jeans, by Second Denim, to someone who has never tried them before? I'd love to tell you that they're  the comfiest pair of jeans you will ever put on your body. But honestly, you need to feel 'em for yourself to truly understand the level of comfort I'm talkin' here (side bar: I once had a customer come by and tell me she actually went to yoga class in her Yoga Jeans. I'd like to see any other pair of jeans take you into downward facing dog and back.).

             Image

While that's not really what they're meant for, the point is that these jeans are as flexible as you are! So how do they do it? How do you make jeans that don't sacrifice fashion for function?

It starts with premium denim containing 97% brushed cotton and 3% elastane on a diagonal weave (that means 4-way stretch, my friends). Add a six-piece waistband contours your body for a fit that always hugs, never gaps. Put it all together and you've got a pair of jeans with a 92% shape memory - rated highest in the world.

Plus, Second Denim is a Montréal brand, and Yoga Jeans are made right here in Canada.

Summer in the City

Remember the days before retailers like Zara and H&M came to Western Canada? It was so exciting to shop their stores in the US and Europe because you knew that when you got home, no one else would be sporting your look. And that's exactly the kind of experience Plum gives visitors and locals alike. With about half of our merchandise produced in Vancouver by us, your look is truly unique and truly Canadian.

Image

Here are some of my favourite new arrivals (I guess you could say I'm falling for them, groan). These beauties are in stores now!

Left to right: A sophisticated sheer blouse, $59, and a sexy snakeskin print dress, $135.

These are my favourite jeans! So comfortable I can do yoga in them. Made in Montreal they are both Highrise skinny's, (left) $110 and the right has leg zips at the cuff $120
