    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).

Espy spe­cial­izes in find­ing the per­fect fit just for you, big thighs, small waists, big bums, small bums, long legs: up to 38″ inseam, short legs, we have just about every­thing! And where we need to tai­lor, we will, to make those jeans per­fect for you!

    MEN pay atten­tion too! If you haven’t had the espy styl­ists fit you in a pair of jeans, you are miss­ing out, your butt never looked so good!
