Behind the Scenes: Fall 2011 Photo Shoot
Our Fall 2011 Collection was photographed by the talented Candace Meyer on 20 acres of land in Langley, BC. Inspired by the great outdoors, the photographs tell a beautiful story of life in the country. Stylist Tracey Pincott played around with autumn colours, fabric textures, and contrasting themes for what we feel is one of our best photo shoots ever! We love working with a model like Lauren who has so much personality, fits our clothing really well, and has that all around "Plumness" about her.
A special thank you to Johnny Bellas for doing fabulous hair and makeup, and to Thomas for letting us use his property for the day! We can hardly wait to see the photos, promise we'll share them with you as soon as we get them :)

It finally feels like summer and what a great time for Plum to have the last big markdown of the season! All seasonal fashions are on sale, and I went to our South Granville store to scope out what kind of great deals I could find. I was definitely happy to see lots of military inspired pieces, summer beach cover ups, and pretty floral dresses still in stock and greatly reduced.
It was hard to choose only a few items, but here are some of the NEW markdowns:
The sale applies to ALL Plum locations and merchandise varies by store. Leave a comment and let us know what kind of deals you've seen at Plum lately! Happy shopping :)

Jen is the gal behind Her Waise Choice, a Vancouver based personal style blog. We look forward to her outfit posts, as she always seems to be perfectly on trend, while staying relatable and effortlessly put together! We couldn't help but ask Jen a few quick questions about blogging, shopping, and traveling. You can continue to follow Jen's fashion adventures on Twitter and Facebook or herwaisechoice.com. Enjoy :)
How would you describe your personal style?
I always fear this question a little bit as I don't want to box myself up in a particular style, but I feel my best when I look feminine and put-together with something whimsical thrown in the mix. I love using pattern or colour to make an outfit more fun!
What are your greatest sources of fashion inspiration?
Other blogs, naturally, and Olivia Palermo. I'm also a sucker for European editions of fashion magazines!
Are there any fashion websites or blogs that you recommend?
My current favourites are The Glamourai, Atlantic-Pacific and Saucy Glossie-- I can always count on these ladies to sartorially inspire! My favourite street style blog is StockholmStreetStyle and I love visiting dustjacket attic for beautiful editorials.
The last trip you went on took you to...
London, Copenhagen, and a cruise around the Baltic. I'm now dreaming of a vacation home in the Scandinavian countryside!
Tell us, what are your top places to shop? Do you ever shop online?
A large chunk of the clothes in my closet are adorned with "Zara" and "Club Monaco" labels. Also, one of my favourite things to do is to discover little consignment store gems around town. There are a few on West 4th and West Broadway that I frequent often. I've toned down on the online shopping in recent years but could still spend a good amount of time perusing ASOS and Shopbop. And though I've yet to order from them, I keep going back to Queen's Wardrobe to admire their pretty pieces.
My most recent purchase was...
A pair of new (to me) Marc by Marc Jacobs colour-blocked sandals from Front & Co.!
What is your favourite thing about blogging?
It's going to sound cliche, but the community. It's such a blessing to have 'met' so many kind, real and stylish girls. The opportunity to work with some amazing companies has definitely been wonderful too!
Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to start their own fashion blog?
I'm definitely not the best person to ask, but I'll tell you the things I wish I had done when I began blogging last year and still struggle with today: post frequently from the onset (with quality photos and content that you are passionate about), build genuine relationships with other bloggers, and don't sell yourself short. Reach out to companies and don't be afraid of rejection. Also, be prepared to invest a lot of time, hard work and commitment into it. It's worth it!
