Why We Love Britannia

Britannia Plaza-Elbow Drive & 49th Ave SW

Britannia is an older neighbourhood in Calgary, and is home to the whimsical Britannia Plaza. Located just off of Elbow Drive, this cute community treasure is perfect for an afternoon of Christmas shopping, and an alternative to the busy malls. Some of the must-see stores; Manon's & Leonidas Chocolates, Owl's Nest Bookstore, the Paper Trail & Britannia Flowers, SKIVVIES for her, and Sunterra

Best Website Ever


If you're like me, you lose your phone on a daily basis. That is why this website is ingenious!

Split Pea Vintage

Split Pea Vintage is a perfectly merchandized vintage clothing company that nails the recycled clothing movement niche. If you're not in the buying mood, the pictures prove to be a great inspiration for creating new outfits with your own collection. The website also has an inspirational blog.

Mariah

Mariah is a new store located in Aspen Landing at the VERY end of 17th Ave S.W (near Spring Bank Estates/ Westside Recreational Centre). I was pleasantly surprised to find a shoppe like this with labels for all ages, including Wildfox Couture, Rich&Skinny, Paige Jeans, and Free People. Definitely worth checking out.

Street View


Finally, the book I have been waiting for. A second addition to the Nylon look-book collection, this gorgeously illustrated book covers new cities, including Montreal. Included is a shopping list directory from the cities covered by Nylon photographers and expertly written excerpts on Barcelona, London, Tokyo, and Los Angeles.
