Alberta shop notes: Calling all angels!

Photography by Jason Eng

This is the time of year to revamp your lingerie collection. Treat yourself this Valentine’s Day with a trip to one of Alberta’s two new Victoria’s Secret locations (Kingsway Mall, 109 St. and Princess Elizabeth Ave., Edmonton, 780-479-4221; Southcentre Mall, 100 Anderson Rd. SE, Calgary, 403-278-4881; victoriassecret.com), both fully stocked with all the fine lingerie and satiny goodness you’ve been fantasizing about since the brand’s Canadian launch nearly two years ago.

Edmonton shop notes: So Pretty

So pretty jewelry from $105. Photography by Carlo Mendoza.

The aptly named So Pretty Jewelry (sopretty.ca), by Edmonton gem Cara Cotter, delivers precious stones in Caribbean hues–just in time for your mid-winter tropical getaway. Her Gum Drop Seafoam Chyrsoprase & Gold Vermeil Locket ($165, shown) stole my heart. Available at the new So Pretty pop-up shop in Coup Garment Boutique (101-10137 104 St., Edmonton, 780-756-3032, coupboutique.com). Read more »

Boxing Day: It strikes fear in the hearts of retail workers, and trumps Christmas celebrations for all bargain addicts. For the rest of us, it’s an opportunity to pick up what our well-meaning significant others didn’t end up buying us for the holidays. If you are willing to brave the cold, the lineups (like the one pictured above at Toronto’s Eaton Centre), and the inevitable Christmas hangover, here are some shops that you should check out.

Edmonton shop notes: Runway-inspired pieces for less

I love spying runway-inspired pieces for less, and this tailored Ellis jacket by BB Dakota ($160) fits the bill. With its sleek silhouette and chic black leather collar (very Hermès), this polished staple is sure to add sass to your sugar-plum holiday dress. Available at the Bamboo Ballroom (8206 104 St. NW, Edmonton, 780-439-1363, bambooballroom.ca). Read more »

Can’t think of anything better than dancing the night away with the Yeti from that 1964 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV special? Neither can we. Well, that’s exactly what happened last Saturday night at what’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful new buildings in Canada, the Art Gallery of Alberta. A ticket to what might be the hottest party in Edmonton, the AGA Refinery late-night art party is in its eighth run since the new building, designed by Los Angeles-based architect Randall Stout, opened two years ago.

Edmonton rolled out its red carpet last week for the city’s biggest fashion event of the year—also one of the largest fashion fundraisers in Canada—the 15th Annual Fashion with Compassion breast cancer fundraiser. Over 700 guests wined, dined, and bid on auction items, while models and breast cancer survivors from the Compassion House walked the glowing white runway. The show featured clothing and accessories from local retailers, and closed with stunning couture gowns from New York’s Michael Kaye.

After launching a website that merged art and fashion, Oak + Fort (10416-82 Ave. Edmonton, 780-758-9199, oakandfort.com) decided to spread its wings, opening a second boutique (the original flagship is located in Vancouver) this past spring. With an emphasis on modern pieces that boast clean lines, the store’s well-edited selection calls for a fashion-forward customer. We like the chiffon capelet blouse ($120); its stand-up collar and exaggerated side panels are perfect for shaking up a tried-and-true suit.
