The long weekend is almost upon us, and with a weather forecast promising lots of sun and high temperatures, we figured it was the perfect time to showcase the bright colours and layering options we currently have in the shop. Whether you’re heading up to the cottage or spending the weekend exploring the city, we’ve got you covered!
After every lookbook shoot, I’m convinced that this one is my favourite, and yet each month we seem to outdo ourselves and I fall in love all over again. We are oh-so-lucky to have an amazing little team here at Bicyclette, and I’m always impressed by the creativity, imagination and sheer talent of all involved. This shoot was so much fun to work on because of it’s lighthearted nature (dollhouses, tutus and candy-coloured wigs? Yes, please!), and I’m sure the two-bite brownies on set and Nicki Minaj on repeat didn’t hurt either. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday evening, that’s for sure.
Last week we posted the inspiration, a peek at the props and accessories we were using, and some behind the scenes shots from the studio, and now we’re thrilled to share the lookbook in it’s entirety. Enjoy!

I came across these photos by Alexandra Valenti yesterday and instantly fell in love. I’ve been dreaming of the summer a lot lately and these photos capture an essence of a romantically vintage summer with a dash of bright surrealism that makes them extra special. Hope everyone is out enjoying the sun this week!
It’s been a beautiful few days and it looks like the sun is here to stay, finally. Pintrest is filling up with dreamy images of the summer that’s on it’s way and with a forecast of +20 for next week I’m excited to share a few. We’ve been playing feel good funk music all day long and enjoying our door being open to the bussling Queen W.
Happy Saturday!
Last night we headed to the studio (complete with pink backdrop, of course) to shoot our May lookbook. As I mentioned before, the concept started with a thrifted dollhouse and it was so much fun to put together the shoot based on that idea and see it evolve to include pastel arm parties, DIY’d rosette and pearl sunglasses, a tutu, and flamingo prints, to name a few elements.
As I’m packing everything up for our shoot tonight, I thought I would share a little sneak peek at a few of the props and outfits we’ll be featuring. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter or Instagram for a visual play-by-play.
We’re shooting our May lookbook tomorrow night, so I thought I would share a little bit of inspiration that I’ve gathered. The concept started with a dollhouse that I found at Value Village a few weeks ago that was begging for a fresh coat of paint, and has evolved to include candy-hued wigs, monochromatic pastels and black and white polka dots. Needless to say, we’re pretty excited about this one.
With Mother’s Day less than a week away, we decided to put together a few gift ideas to make your job a little easier. The shop is full of options right now, including jewellery, purses, nail polish, perfume, hand creme, sunglasses, shoes, gift cards and so much more. And while you’re here, why not treat yourself to something special as well?
As I come across hundreds of fashion images online daily I am always so easily drawn to photos of the simplistically chic Gwyneth Paltrow. She exemplifies how to wear beautiful basics and strikingly simple shapes to accessorize natural beauty and confidence. Her classic femininity and easy going style make her a refreshingly honest fashion icon worldwide.
It’s no secret that Australian line Something Else is one of our favourites here at the shop (peek here), and of course we all love a good shopping party, so we’ve decided to bring the two together next week for an in-store event. All Something Else product will be 20% off, and we’ll have additional pieces available for that night only. We’re also going to have SS12 samples available, which includes one-of-a-kind pieces and items that aren’t available anywhere else. It doesn’t get much better than that! We’ll have samples on display from the FW12 collection to view as well, so you can have a look at what to expect next season, and even put a pre-order in, if you’re so inclined.
It’s the perfect opportunity to stock up on unique summer essentials, see all the new merchandise we have in store, and have a drink and a bite with us in-store. Invite your friends and spread the word! Details below, and on the event page.
