Beautiful appliqued scarves make great gifts for men or women. These are just a few examples of cozy and stylish scarves from Cipolla. Come in to the shop to see the full selection!

A cluster of pins

Add a touch of whimsy to any outfit with a cluster of pins. We chose a dog theme here, but you could mix it up, or match a funny mix of things by color. We have loads of fun brooches and pins at Fresh Collective, made from all kinds of materials, and with all kinds of themes. Come and have fun picking up a couple for yourself, and do some gift shopping too, while you're at it!

Time to treat yourself to some new jewllery!

Every day more and more gorgeous jewellery arrives at Fresh Collective. I'm in love with so much of the new MaRGie Jewellery made by Michelle Goldfinger. She uses a fun mix of unconventional items but transforms them into the coolest stuff you've seen. Here are some pieces from her "Clockworks" series, but you also have to check out the thimbles and vintage wooden rulers she's made into necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Come on in to the shop and have fun poking around and looking at all the great accessories we have in stock!

Hats and Scarves galore!

We've got a great selection of "Crazy Scarves" from Fresh Baked Goods. We mix and match all colors and textures of yarn to make the cutest and craziest scarves, which are cozy, cute and make great gifts for guys or gals. At $59, one of the beautiful and unique scarves may be just the gift you've been looking for for that special someone.

The hat makes the woman!



Sometimes the outfit just needs the right hat, especially when the temperature take a nosedive! We've got gorgeous, unique hats from Fresh Baked Goods with scarves to match! Ranging from casual toques with big pom-poms to chic retro felted hats, you're sure to find something to make your outfit just perfect!

From yoga class to lunch, this skirt will take you through your day. So easy to throw on over your leggings, tights or yoga pants, these Whirl Girl skirts come in cozy polar fleece and boiled wool and each have a unique waistband made from vintage fabrics. Adjustable buttons make the fit a breeze!

Cozy skirts to get you through winter!

These polar fleece wrap skirts are just what the doctor ordered to get you through the coming months! Wear them with tights or leggings and you're ready to tackle any Canadian weather!

Whirl Girl- Elegant Whirl


So cute and casual! Each waistband is made from vintage fabric, and the skirt is boiled wool with a side pocket. So easy to wear, I have to make a conscious effort to wear something else for a change. In fact, I find my Whirl Girl skirts comfier than jeans- and 100 times as cute!

Whirl Girl Skirts!


I'm hooked on Whirl Girl Skirts! They come in cozy polar fleece and boiled wool and are super wearable and comfy- perfect for winter weather! I have 2 already; a gorgeous deep teal and a rusty orange. They're a simple wrap design, but so stylish and wearable. The polar fleece ones make a good topper for yoga pants or leggings, to dress up the super casual clothes we all wear when running errands around town. Check out the website at www.whirlgirl.ca and come on in to the shop to see the full selection. The last time I was in the shop, I noticed a very tempting sale basket in this section, so hurry in before the best bargains are gone!
