We’ve had a number of requests for more ‘Outfitted’ posts, so as we began to receive our Spring pieces (and trust me, February is going to be packed with new deliveries), we’ll be sharing as much as we can here on the blog. For today, here are a couple of the styles we received this week, plus a number of our current favourite accessories that are perfect for layering.

Now's the perfect time to get creative with transitional dressing, mixing Spring's pastels and bright with neutrals and layers

We love the graphic print on this tee and the textured mix of blues and greens offset by the white outline

A wool cowl is a great way to winterize an outfit, especially with a brooch or pin to liven it up

Pistachio hues are popping up on our nails, and on this La Raffinerie necklace, with golds and a bright blue bracelet from Lauren ELan

Add bright punches of pink and yellow to an otherwise black and grey palette

A hand-dyed silk scarf by Denj is such a great way to add colour, especially offset by gold baubles by Lauren Elan

Loving the ombre fade effect in this graphic print

MIA loafers are always a great way to finish off an outfit, and Butter London's 'Black Knight' adds that always-essential dash of sparkle

“Lauren Elan celebrates a love for fashionable living, whether it is with a statement necklace, a multicolour cuff, or a fine cord bracelet. An appreciation for designer brands, creative styling, reasonable pricing, and well-made products has inspired the collection of necklaces and bracelets that are made up of eclectic looks and quality materials”

With the new Fall collection recently launched and a newly redesigned site to accompany it, it seemed like the perfect time to tease ourselves with a few new favourites. We’re currently gravitating towards mixed metals that have a cross between the masculine and feminine, a hint of sparkle (no surprise there), and offer the option to be layered with as many or as few pieces as you choose.

Up tomorrow? Our favourite wrist embellishments.

Full of layered textures, chunky knits and dashes of hot pink, allow me to introduce you to our September lookbook!

Today we received Eryn Brinie and I had to restrain myself from letting out a squeal when it arrived. Buying for the shop is one of my favourite aspects of the job, but it’s also the hardest. Not only are you buying for over 6 months in the future, but there’s also a tendency to fall in love with items only to have to wait until you’re able to lay eyes on them again, let alone wear them. The ivory sweater below is one such piece, and in many ways it exemplifies what Bicyclette stands for. It’s essentially a simple sweater, in a gorgeous ivory hue with a simple silhouette, but the beauty is in the detail: the feminine tulle hemmed camisole that comes layered under the sweater. Not only does it add that essential  je ne said quoi to the piece, but because it is separate from the sweater itself, it lends itself to a world of layering possibilities with other items. And that’s what I call true love.

Layered "basics" with hints of turquoise and lilac and a sprinkling of glitter

Our coveted Kara Ross midnight sequin clutch, Tocca 'Colette' and Butter London

'Henley Regatta' and 'No More Waity, Katie'

The lilac hued scent, with hints of vanilla, sandalwood, musk and incense

An ivory knit is offset by a structured clutch in a glittering finish

A charcoal Something Else rope print dress is layered under the tulle hemmed sweater. The perfect contrast

Without further ado, I bring you today’s outfit post, which is a nice indication of some of the new styles that the shop is currently bursting with: playful patterns, luxe silks, cropped silhouettes, and a delightful array of accessories.

Black and white prints, with a little metallic infusion and a touch of the southwest

Just-received lace bandeaus are the perfect layering piece, and gold accents and sunnies are a must

A rosy nude coloured silk crop tee is a staple, and the Biko fringe necklace adds just the right amount of industrial edge

There's no such as thing as too many prints, and this Miu Miu inspired cat print is a current favourite

The following looks are a part of Free People’s “Tiny Dancer” collection, which feature flowy textures and light colours. The grey sweater/pleated pink mini-skirt with boots look is by far my favourite, as it is the perfect combination of pretty and tough.

We’re currently gravitating towards the open knits and slouchy sweaters that we currently have in store, which are the perfect pieces to pair with lighter styles in this seemingly never-ending transitional season.
