New Line | GLAMGLOW MUD

Posted by on July 18th, 2011

I dis­covered GLAMGLOW MUD on my latest buy­ing trip to LA. I imme­di­ately was drawn to the pack­aging and needed to learn more.

GLAMGLOW was designed for Hollywood’s enter­tain­ment, music, fash­ion and award indus­tries for camera-ready soft glow­ing skin and has just been launched to sell at retail oulets. GLAMGLOW is an amaz­ing rapid gentle exfo­li­ant mud mask for men & women, high in ancient vol­canic pumice rock, super anti­ox­id­ants and minerals.

The res­ults:

* Leaves skin notice­ably radi­ant & glow­ing
* Activ­ates mois­tur­ising col­la­gen syn­thesis
* Provides gentle resur­fa­cing exfo­li­ation
* Provides smoother tighter skin tex­ture
* Leaves skin bright & soft
* Absorbs skin impur­it­ies without remov­ing nat­ural oils

We are excited to be the first to carry GLAMGLOW in Van­couver. Pop by the boutique and dis­cover what GLAMGLOW can do for you. All of us at LYNNsteven have been thor­oughly trained on the bene­fits of this amaz­ing product.

New Line | Josa Tulum

Posted by on June 7th, 2011

We are super excited to be car­ry­ing this amaz­ing line at our boutique! These dresses are the pre­fect go-to piece for trav­el­ling as the dresses are all wrinkle-resistant! I can’t wait to take mine on my travels this summer.

We have two col­ours avail­able in the long ver­sion, black & army green and two col­ours in the shorter ver­sion, navy & oxford grey. Lim­ited quant­it­ies so get here quick!

JOSA tulum is a life­style cloth­ing brand that is inspired by the calm beaches of Tulum and the soph­ist­ic­ated, chic style of New York City.

In 2009, Joanne Salt bid farewell to the hec­tic New York pho­to­graphy industry and headed down south to Tulum Mex­ico to start a new chapter with her new­born son, Luca. It was there in Tulum that Joanne met her friend and trus­ted busi­ness part­ner, Ana Cabello. A trans­plant from Monter­rey Mex­ico, Ana has been liv­ing in Tulum for 12 years now and also owns the pop­u­lar boutique in Tulum town, called Suwus. Together they col­lab­or­ated to form JOSA, and the first boutique, loc­ated on the hotel prop­erty (of Posada Mar­gher­ita), was offi­cially opened.

Their idea was simple – to take their favor­ite vin­tage kaf­tans and trans­form them into con­tem­por­ary, sexy dresses for the beach that were chic enough for the even­ing as well. The JOSA dress reflects the simple, care­free Tulum life­style, yet also pos­sesses the fash­ion­able soph­ist­ic­a­tion of the New York scene. 

With a style and shape that is com­ple­ment­ary to all body types, every­one will find a JOSA dress style that fits to per­fec­tion. The goal and concept of JOSA is to provide women with dresses that can be tossed into a beach bag in the morn­ing and are there on hand through­out the day as a cover-up, yet are styl­ish and sexy enough to take you into the even­ing hours for a late cock­tail or a glam­or­ous din­ner – the per­fect go-to dress for all occasions. 

JOSA tulum is inspired and designed for a con­tem­por­ary, eleg­ant woman who is fash­ion­able and nat­ur­ally com­fort­able both on the beach and in the city.

New Arrivals | A Peace Treaty

Posted by on April 11th, 2011

Each sea­son, A PEACE TREATY travels to a par­tic­u­lar region and seeks out local vil­lage artis­ans to re-define an access­ory, cre­at­ing lim­ited edi­tion pieces in style unique colorways.

For the S/S 2011 sea­son A PEACE TREATY presents ADIRE, an ode to the almost extinct res­ist dye pro­cesses of Yorube Adire tex­tile mak­ing. Tra­di­tion­ally craf­ted by women artis­ans and entre­pren­eurs, Yor­uba Adire tex­tiles were indigo dyed cloths pop­u­lar in Nigeria and parts of West­ern Africa. Chal­lenged by the dis­ap­pear­ance of these mas­ter­pieces, A PEACE TREATY traveled to one of the few exist­ing places with a thriv­ing indigo res­ist dye and hand block-printing industry — Rajasthan, India — to recre­ate these treas­ures of the past.

The mak­ing of ADIRE involved com­mis­sion­ing artis­ans to carve spe­cial wood blocks used for print­ing the neg­at­ive form intrinsic to res­ist dye tech­niques. The res­ult is a col­lec­tion of lus­cious silks and silky cot­tons dyed on with nat­ural and eco-friendly inks and dyes exhib­it­ing vary­ing pro­cesses like dabu and indigo dye­ing, wood block-printing, and hand-weaving cul­min­at­ing in vibrant West African inspired designs.

New Line | Winter Kate

Posted by on March 7th, 2011

With the suc­cess of House of Har­low 1960 jew­elry, designer Nicole Richie launched Winter Kate in 2010. A com­bin­a­tion of her daughter’s middle names, Winter Kate cloth­ing reflects Nicole’s love of eth­er­eal, flow­ing fash­ion in time­less prints and shapes. Dresses, blouses, and kimono tops are accen­ted with bohemian details like fringe, embroid­ery, and mac­ramé, and are eas­ily dressed up or down. These fem­in­ine, romantic, easy-to-wear pieces chan­nel Nicole’s sig­na­ture mix of vin­tage and classic.

We are super excited to have Winter Kate at the shop and have just received our first delivery.

Some pieces from our first delivery!

Cali Dreaming

Posted by on November 25th, 2010

For those of you lucky enough to be head­ing some­where hot & trop­ical over the Hol­i­days we just received our first deliv­ery of swim­wear called Cali Dream­ing.

CALi DREAM­iNG draws inspir­a­tion from nat­ural and nude pig­ments, along with sand speckled skin tones bathing in the golden hues of the Cali­for­nia sun­shine. The col­lec­tion is made up of time­less styles in vary­ing tones, with an emphasis on seam­less sil­hou­ettes and tex­tures. The nat­ural col­ors of the swim­suits blend with the wearer’s own skin tones, mak­ing the suits subtly dis­ap­pear. Due to the under­stated and simplistic nature of each style, the line can also double as under­gar­ments. Their swim­suits place emphasis on a woman’s own nat­ural curves by allow­ing the wearer to appear nearly naked at first glance.

CELEBRATE BEING NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL, SUN KISSED AND HAPPY!

Introducing Shereen de Rousseau

Posted by on November 20th, 2010

Another new jew­ellery line at LYNNsteven. We are so excited to now be car­ry­ing Shereen de Rousseau. Her pieces are stun­ning and are some­thing you will have forever. Can be worn with a simple white tee or dress it up with your favour­ite black dress.

We have more pieces then are pic­tured so be sure to come the shop.

3 strand neck­lace with oxid­ized ster­ling sil­ver and aqua­mar­ine beads, hand knot­ted on grey silk. oxid­ized ster­ling sil­ver medal­lion. 29″

A little about Shereen…

Shereen was born in Canada, but spent many of her impres­sion­able years grow­ing up in Brazil. Liv­ing in one of the world’s most vibrant cul­tures, she was exposed to its beau­ti­ful art, archi­tec­ture and design on daily basis. Brazil is still with her today and provides a wealth of inspir­a­tion and ref­er­ence along with her extens­ive travels around the globe.

5 rings of oxid­ized ster­ling sil­ver. Can be worn together or sep­ar­ately. 3/4″ dia­meter medallion

Her love of fash­ion led to a 20 year career work­ing for vari­ous high-profile brands and the even­tual launch of her own in 2007. Shereen de Rousseau – the brand is still young, but in its short life has gained acclaim from the fash­ion media and a loyal fol­low­ing from styl­ish people through­out North America.

Shereen’s design philo­sophy is mod­ern with an eclectic nod to the past that con­tinu­ally feels fresh and unex­pec­ted. Mix­ing iconic images and sym­bols, she rein­ter­prets them with her own refined sens­ib­il­it­ies and tech­niques to cre­ate pieces with a dis­tinctly time­less feel. Shereen de Rousseau is for any­one that appre­ci­ates clas­sic style, but seeks to express their cre­ativ­ity and indi­vidu­al­ity through the jew­ellery they wear.

3 Strand neck­lace of oxid­ized ster­ling sil­ver chain and charms with howl­ite beads, hand knot­ted on silk. 37″

Oxid­ized ster­ling sil­ver. 1 1/2″ dia­meter medallion.

Neck­lace of oxid­ized ster­ling sil­ver beads and charms with howl­ite beads, hand knot­ted on silk. 41″

New from A Peace Treaty

Posted by on November 3rd, 2010

What we are lov­ing right now in the store…our latest deliv­ery from A Peace Treaty. We can‘t keep from try­ing on these yummy, soft scarves.

If you are not famil­iar with A Peace Treaty here is a little blurb about their latest collection:

The PITANIA Col­lec­tion is a col­lec­tion of pure alpaca wraps, ponchos and hats, using the finest fibres from the Andes Moun­tains’ alti­plano region of Peru, Bolivia and Chile, and draw­ing inspir­a­tion from the simple geo­met­ric pat­terns and unlikely col­our pair­ings found within the Bauhaus women’s weav­ing work­shop in Wei­mar and Des­sau. The PITANIA hand-knitted alpaca col­lec­tion bol­sters irre­place­able tra­di­tions and ancient tex­tile tech­niques while employ­ing Indi­gen­ous Aymara and Quechua artisans.

Granted FW10

Posted by on September 23rd, 2010

With fall in the air there is noth­ing bet­ter than put­ting on a cozy sweater. Good thing we have received our Gran­ted Cloth­ing delivery.

If you are not famil­iar with this amaz­ing Van­couver brand, here is the scoop…

Gran­ted is a fam­ily busi­ness inde­pend­ently run and oper­ated right here in Vancouver. They use tra­di­tional knit­ting meth­ods and have been labeled a new and unique genre of neo-vintage clothing. Their clas­sic inspired sweat­ers and accessor­ies are made from 100% pure new wool.

Although the Gran­ted label deb­uted in 2007, their hand-knitting busi­ness was estab­lished in 1978. The design­ers of Gran­ted, a brother sis­ter duo, remem­ber grow­ing up with knit­ting needles and bags of yarn every­where. The founders of the busi­ness, their par­ents, ran a suc­cess­ful cot­tage industry for many years and so as time passed it was only nat­ural for the chil­dren to come on board with a new chapter to the company.

Gran­ted uses only the highest selec­ted qual­ity of pure new wool.  Each of their items are metic­u­lously knit by hand and go through strict qual­ity con­trol before they reach stores. You may find that some of their gar­ments have wood zip­per pulls. These sig­na­ture pieces are hand-crafted on Van­couver Island using only salvaged yew wood. Each piece is unique and rep­res­ents the hand-made nature of their brand.
