The "to and from" sweater does double duty on the plane ride there as well as warding off the chill of the night when temperatures dip. The nautical look is the perfect piece to pack for it's versatility... after all you can't wear a tank top to the airport. The sweater also looks great over Point Zero rolled cuffed cargo shorts in light weight cotton poplin.

Everyone needs at least a few tank tops - perennial resort favourites. Ours come in a light weight ribbed cotton spandex in 8 delicious colours. Don't leave home without one or 4 for that matter. Seen here over Mavi knee length Denim shorts.

At Plum we are famous for our Simone dresses and these new tank dresses for resort are no exception. Get your beach party on.
 
These two easy care dresses are throw on an go. No muss no fuss and that just means more time at the beach.

Sale Into Summer

 
Drum roll please!!!
 
The much awaited season has arrived ahead of schedule. Sorry east coast but summer season has arrived here and we're keeping her!
 
In honor of this glorious, blissful, sunshine emitting season, we have a great great sale in progress. Are there pieces you've been obsessing over for a while and can't rest until you have them in your wardrobe? I absolutely, regularly do that, however, waiting for a sale is not something I excell at. Obsess no more, that much mulled over item may now be reduced:
 
Take a look:

This breezy beautiful kimono cardigan... is so lightweight, you'd likely forget your wearing it, but offers just a touch of coverage and an irresistable color pallette. Now at $45, hard to resist (two print options)

Perhaps it was this botanically inspired, light as air number. Now $52

 

So, time to get going, while selection is still available. Here's a refresher on sale shopping to get you prepared:

  • Pull your hair back, put on your Allstars and be ready for a workout.
     
  • Don't be stuck on your size.  Before you pass it up (not officially your size), give it a try. Stretchy fabric has a way of being more forgiving and can change the fit from something very loose and drapey to a fitted garment. Or, it's a size too large? Consider slight alterations.
     
  • Think outside the box - never been a fan of pink (did I just say that out loud?). Maybe this is the time to venture into another color spectrum. If it's on sale, less of an investment.
     
  • Don't forget any upcoming vacations, what a great time to make a reduced price purchase, then pack it away for the trip so you have something fresh and brand new when you arrive at your destination.
     
  • Buy more than one (something you like and a friend might as well?), think future gift giving.
     
  • REMEMBER - S.L.B.....SEE IT, LIKE IT BUY IT....because if you like it, someone else will too. How many times have I gone back to get something I had now become decisive about, and clearly someone beat me to it. Thus my CLOSET obsession has now kicked in...
     
  • Saved on the garment...now you can splurge on some accessories, a fabulous necklace or clutch to complete the outfit
     
  • Bring a friend. Sharing is good! Shopping a sale with a companion definitely makes it more enjoyable
     
  • Reward yourself for saving with a nice cappuccino later!

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.
