a great dress for work or play

We've been working hard at Fresh Baked Goods HQ to come up with some amazing fall dresses that are not only cute, but super versatile as well. We're calling this one our 50's Style Dress and it is adorable! It features a tie at the waist, a skirt that flares out, and pockets. Pair it with a sweater and heels and you've got a great outfit for the office. It can also be paired with boots and tights and be worn well into the those brr-worthy winter months.

We know you'll love this dress the moment you try it on!

transition that summer cami!

Now that the cool(ish) weather is finally here, we can finally start thinking about layering again! We love taking our favourite summer camis and pairing them with longer skirts and sweaters for a sophisticated fall look. The cami that Janine is wearing is by Momiji, sweater by Fresh Baked Goods and skirt by Mandala.



Layering is such a great way to get a little more wear out of your favourite summer pieces. All of our designers are bringing in new fall merchandise daily, so be sure to stop by the store soon!

Robin's Egg Blue

We love this necklace from Designs by Peeno. It features a pretty little bird and a nest with three pretty little blue eggs. This very special necklace will be sure to brighten your day!




Another necklace from Peeno that we love is the pressed flower necklace. Each necklace features a different pressed, dried flower between glass. They are one of our best sellers here at the store!

Carrying Summer Clothing into Fall

The summer heat is on! Odd Bird is not quite ready to get into Fall just yet….as she still wants to enjoy the hot & humid weather for a while more.

Check out some of Odd Bird's printed Summer attire, this time being modelled on an actual human (rather then the usual mannekin) and accessorized with pieces from the store's members.

When the economy's tight many customers want clothing that can be carried into the next season. But they are usually unsure how to do it. Its surprisingly easy to build up an outfit to wear into another season. Don't be discouraged by colour either: if you love pink & it suits you why not wear it all year round? Don't think that's its just for one season like Spring! The trick is accessorizing & layering to either pump up or tone down the outfit for the season or occasion.

So the first outfit is for wearing during the summer weather & the second outfit is layered up a little for the transition into the cooler weather as Fall approaches.

The latest Odd Bird summer offering: the Rose & Scissors T-dress! Here it is worn with a resin ring & vintage rose necklace. Isn’t that outfit adorable with those polka-dot shoes?

Here's how it can be worn for cooler weather or for a more business-casual look: Mohair shrug, tights, chunky necklace & Damask bag.

The Bunny T-dress, worn with a shell-disc necklace & resin ring....barefoot for fun-in-the-Sun time by the pool or at the beach!

Then toned down with accessories in shades of black, white & grey: Sweater shrug, argyle socks & daintier necklace. What a cute outfit for Back-to-School!

The Songbird Pocket Tunic/Babydoll dress worn with bold & bright necklace & earrings. The jewellery isn’t exactly a matching set but look how nice they compliment both each other & the print on the dress!

Who says you cant wear white after Labor Day?

Now the dress is worn over cropped pants with tall boots & a chunky chain necklace. We used a teal coloured sweater shrug here to keep the outfit bright & fun....but if you wanted to tone it down then obviously a darker shrug would be worn instead.

A Dress Some"Bunny" Will Love!

Some times in the summer months ladies aren't into the frilly/

fancy dress thing but still would like to wear something thats well...still girly! But also comfortable in the hot weather. A t-shirt dress can be the answer to that dilemma....and Odd Bird has just the thing as part of the Summer offering. It may be a basic cotton t-dress but it has the sweetest Bunny image printed on it!

But this dress doesn't have to be just for Summer, you can carry it into Fall by wearing it with darker coloured leggings, jeans, sweaters etc. Then in the Spring with lighter & brighter acessories. And this dress looks nice when worn with a belt too.

If you look closer at the fabric you'll notice that it is ash grey woven with Sea Foam green...another detail that makes this dress simple & sweet!

Odd Bird has something fresh & new for the Bric-a-Brac line….introducing the Beach Collection!

These are all made using genuine pebbles & beach glass so size & colour will vary. These pieces are truly very one-of-a-kind! And because of this, the collection is extremely limited.

Earring threaders with teeny tiny pebbles & another made with much larger ones

More threaders, the one on the left is beach glass

2 different pebbles on a chain make a really neat necklace

These pieces are perfect to wear at the beach, for those who love nature or for anyone who loves to ”Rock On” haha!
