Hey guys, thanks for coming out to the Queen of Hearts shop crawl last night! In case you couldn’t make it and haven’t had a chance to check out our new window display yet, here are a couple of photos (thanks, Anabela!) of the feathers made by Robin and the amazing birdhouse by Jason McLean:
It all looks even better in person, so try to stop by soon!

This Thursday!
After last year’s roaring success the Queen of Hearts Stroll is back! Valentine’s Day is nearly here and the shops along Queen West are heating things up… here’s how it works:
Visit one of our 15 participating shops (look for the attached poster in the window) and pick up the Queen of Hearts passport. Have a drink, get your passport stamped, and move on to the next boutique. Once your passport has 10 stamps, you can receive the special gifts or promotions offered by all of the shops (valid until Feb 28, 2010). Not bad for a night of festive fun!
The Queen of Hearts Boutiques are:
Greenshag, Cabaret, Simon Carter, Cat Tilt, Preloved, Tealish, The Spice Trader, Olive Pit, Ziliotto, Carte Blanche, Charlie, Robber, Heel Boy, Neat, and Type.
At Robber, your reward for taking part in the Queen of Hearts is a pretty sweet one: spend $150 or more, get $50 off, until the end of February!
Hope to see you Thursday night!
Wiarton Willie says we have six more weeks of winter, but we say spring is here! Big news at Robber – we’re bringing in three new lines that you are going to love! Let me introduce you to our new friends (with info mostly cut and pasted from their websites!)…
Filippa K
By combining timeless simplicity with contemporary edge, Filippa K makes distinctive fashion for modern urbanites with personal integrity and an eye for good design. Plus, whenever we see our rep Emma, she plies us with Swedish chocolates. Everybody wins.
Karen Walker
Karen Walker is a brand from New Zealand with a reputation for its original, effortless and unpretentious style. Karen Walker collections are high casual with one foot in tailoring and the other in street wear. The reoccurring theme is taking extremes and pushing them together – masculine and feminine, tailored and street, luxury and non luxury, dark and super-cute. This season, her prints are nautical, girly and whimsical all at the same time. I love it.
Lover
Susien Chong and Nic Briand’s Australian line has long been a favorite of ours. With a unique approach to feminine fashion, the label’s pop culture references, quirky detailing and intimate fabrication have seen in placed on numerous “One to Watch” lists. Be prepared to like Susien and Nic even more after looking at their profile on The Selby.
We’ll let you know when pieces start to arrive in the shop, but thought you might need some good news to get you through the next few weeks!
Just got a couple gigantic boxes of new Spring basics from Alternative Apparel! Here’s a sampling…
Molly crop burnout tee in tomato (we have this in black too):
Modal silk boyfriend tee in cairo (and we also have navy):
An old favourite in new colours – the deep V burnout tee in violet (plus washed navy):
And the Tootie deep V floral tee in black:
Start getting excited about Spring, you guys! Lots more shipments coming soon.
