Charming charm bracelets

Vintage charms and unique beads make Buttercup Days jewellery so great! Even jeans and a tee shirt would be tranformed into a great outfit with one amazing piece like this.

Fun earrings

These owl earrings by Odd Bird Designs are just one of hundreds of cute earrings we have in the shop. Fun, funky, whimsical, dressy, we have it all!

Necklaces on tees

A tee shirt looks great when topped off with dressy jewellery! Mix it up with a few necklaces of different lengths and have some fun creating a unique and funky outfit!

Designs by Peeno

Pretty pendants by Designs By Peeno are the perfect finishing touch for just about any outfit, whether dressy, casual or somewhere in between!

Try a cardi instead of a blazer....

Try a cardi instead of a blazer, like this one by Paper People Clothing. Made from recycled vintage sweaters, they are each one-of-a-kind and ready to take you to work and beyond!

A pretty blouse and the right accessories...

A pretty blouse like this would be perfect with dress pants and a blazer. Top it off with a great necklace, and you'll be ready for a promotion! (Momiji top and pants, Electric Lollipop necklace)

Mandala makes great clothes for work


Tons of our customers swear by Mandala for great work seperates. I especially love her jersey tops; dressier than a tee shirt by far, but as comfy and easy to wear. She also has a knack for making skirts that are different enough to be fun, but wearable for lots of occassions.

Momiji Jackets

One of our newest labels, Momiji, makes the best jackets! Why not take a break from the typical blazer and wear one of these feminine and pretty little numbers?

Dresses, tops and skirts!


Our shop is just full to the brim with cute printed dresses, tops and skirts for summer! Come in and just try to decide on just one.... you'll end up stocking up!

Black and White Pleated Skirt

Sexy summer tops

These tie-around summer tops have been a big hit this summer. They come in two styles: the apron style with a fuller back and the handkerchief style with a very bare back. Both can be worn bare, or layered over a tank, and we have a great assortment of prints and solids. From $32-38, they are affordable enough to buy two or three!

Circulate!


I love the way the circular cut of the bottom of the top echoes the circle on the skirt. Then there's all the circles printed on the top, and the circle pendant to finish the look. While most people opt for a plain color to go with something with a print, it's fun to think about other ways something goes, and play that up instead.

Have some fun with accessories!


Accessories can tie the whole look together by making the whole mismatched look purposeful. It's the "I meant to do that" of dressing. A smattering of brown toned pins on the red sweater make it all make sense, and make an unconventional choice really work!

Mix and match, with an emphasis on match!

"It's too matchy-matchy," I sometimes hear and think, "What?!" Personally, I love a bit of matchy-matchy-ness, and find that blatant matching can pull an outfit together is a great way. I'd top this look off with a strawberry hairclip, myself, and I love the way the different elements are made to work together by the strawberry theme.

Dress up a Tee shirt

Cool tee shirts should be showcased as part of a great outfit! Why not accessorize with a fashionably wide belt and wear a cool tee with a great skirt?

Jewellery should be an everyday treat!


Jewellery is the easiest way to perk up any day, and any outfit! All of us have our jeans and tee shirt moods, but even if grocery shopping is the biggest event of the day, there's no reason not to finish off the outfit with something special like these gorgeous pressed flower pendants. Made by Designs by Peeno, these unique little pendants are an affordable treat, at around $28.

Sizzling Summer Tops

Here's the ultimate summer top. From Fresh Baked Goods, it comes in two styles, handkerchief style with the more revealing back, and apron style which is more covered up. Both styles come in a ton of different colors and prints, and at only $32-38 why not treat yourself to two? These tops look great on their own but can also be layered over a tank top.

Dancing Bear Tank Top Dress

This dancing bear tank style dress would be great over leggings or skinny jeans, or as a swim cover-up. Belted or not, it's cute and different.

Light and Breezy!

The ultimate cute and casual summer dress! So pretty, you'd never know it's made from vintage men's shirts and bedlinens. Light and breezy, it's the perfect summer dress for everyday wear!
