    Sweet Nothing
    Treasure Trove
    Calgary
    (Aug.17.10)

    We try and make the stop at fave Inglewood designer dis­count shop Espy a weekly endeavor. And now we’re shar­ing five favourites (with images online) from our most recent excursion:

    This multi-coloured Bionic wrap dress ($89) has us wish­ing for at least a few more weeks of summer.

    With fall around the cor­ner, we can’t wait to rock these cute black ruf­fle Friis Company booties ($89).

    Dresses with pock­ets — a design detail wor­thy of our high­est praise. This charm­ing Supreme Being dress ($79) does them justice.

    Elastic waist­bands are our friends — espe­cially when they are attached to this super cute plaid pick-up skirt by Supreme Being ($49).

    Soft, flowy and fem­i­nine, our favourite jeans will pair per­fectly with this St– Martins butterfly-esque silk tunic ($79).
