cowichan.


jumper. aritzia. shorts. vintage. booties. zoom

cowichan. what? That's the name for this glorious jumper of mine. Although this is not an original ( those run from $300-$600) and are knit all in one piece by local women, my love still lingers. These sweaters are proudly Canadian and come from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. This detail adds that little bit of home for me, as I reside oceans away from my loves.
Another obsession of mine. These booties... I've been looking for a pair of black. suede anklets for years (yes years. along with over the knee suede's, which I have yet to find) and last week I came across these yummy. yummy. beauties ( Louboutin style )... at an OUTLET mall for a price that is ludicrous. Simply crazy I tell you. I still can't believe it. I knew they were out there for me. It just took years to find you.
***side note: Does anyone use or has anyone tried Creme de Le Mer ? I've heard about it for years and for some reason it intrigues me. Is it really that special + worth it ?

Love the booties ;) and that sweater is PERFECT...esp for the damn cold canadian winters (well not so much in BC...)

Dear, this outfit is what I call PERFECTION! I love everything, congrats!!!
I'm also very interested in Le Mer, I know it's expensive but I would like to read if really works.

Thanks for the info, I will definitely have to check out the Jeffrey C. alternative, then. Love your boots here, by the way.

I hope it gets cold enough here to wear something like what you have on. xx I love it. Especially the lighter color of denim with black tights. :)

PS: I have 14 pairs now. (shhh!) I am crazy. LOL. <3

um you did NOT get those at an outlet mall. now i'm terribly jealous. this is a great outfit and i would recommend chinese laundry for their over-the-knee boots. if you check my blog, it was my second post EVER that i wrote about them :)

Your sweater is darling! The whole look is very chic.

ashleigh said...

killer whales! on the sweater. that sweater is great and look amazing paired with your shorts and tights. you do the shorts and tights like no other!

ohh i definately feel you on the search for the suede over the knees. i failed this winter, but i'm sure i'll keep searching next winter.

those booties are unbelievable! my mum! yes my mum (she has perfect taste in boots) has a pair similar only about 5 sizes too small for me. what was the store called! are they online :(?

thanks for your well wishes on my health i'm getting there :)

Hey you,
Isn't that a crazy thing: a fact that were both Canadian and Ukrainian... that's so awesome.I was so excited when I read your comment... :D

I have always wanted one of those original Cowichan sweater but I think Aritzia knock-off will do for me this winter.... If I was you I would totally obsess about those booties as well, they are gorgeous :)

July Stars said...

Really cute outfit and those ankle boots are such a great find ...
I really don't think that you should be using Creme de la Mer: your skin is way too young for that stuff. I have tried it and tested several of their products for a couple of months. It's great if you have super dehydrated skin but I found it all too rich for my skin. I went back to my usual NeoStrata and Avene range.

love your boots !

Mimi said...

The outfit is awesome and I adore your booties.Yesterday I read in the In Style how to wear shirts like yours and you did it so well.
