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!

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!

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!

picture perfect

We love the images Electric Lollipop has printed on this super simple, super cute necklaces. Each rectangle features a fun print with bold, bright colours. Our favourite is the anchor!

New Dress from Spruce!

Spruce Clothing has some amazing new dresses for summer and this one is by far our favourite! It features a black and white print and fits in a super cute, super flattering, babydoll style. We especially love the little cap sleeve!

comfy jersey dresses for summer!

If you're looking for the perfect, breezy, summer dress, look no further than this adorable empire waist slinky-jersey dress from Candi Factory! It's super soft, super comfy, and the prints are super fun. There are even more prints available in store, so you should definitely come in and try one on. We guarantee once you have this dress on, you will leave the store with it. These dresses are irresistible!

for gals on the go

For all of you working gals with your gadgets, we've got the perfect accessory! These pouches from Cipolla are for smart phones and MP3 players. How cute! We love the fun prints and they are padded to keep your electronics safe in your purse or pocket. Cute AND functional, we love it!

keyhole top dresses!

This is one of our favourite dresses for the summer. The keyhole top is so flattering on just about every body type. You should definitely stop by Fresh Collective to try one on soon!

Chippy Skort!!!

Here's something fun for those who want a short & sexy look without being too...ahem, revealing: we have cute skorts in the store right now! The heather grey skorts are printed with a chipmunk image that's just too cute.

So one can wear them for bike riding, hiking, jogging or just hanging out on the dock at the cottage without worrying about exposing themselves since they have "hidden" shorts inside. They work worn over leggings too.

So get yourself some if your looking for an alternative when tired of wearing shorts & skirts all the time in the warmer weather!

Utility Grade tanks and tops

Utility Grade tanks and tops are perfect with jeans and skirts! The beautiful printed detail is sure to make a great conversation piece while your out and about this spring. Our favourite is the shoe print (feature below in a t-shirt and tank). A girl can never have too many shoes!

Welcome Norma W!

You just HAVE to check out these sweaters. They are super-duper-duper adorable. Each up-cycled vintage sweater features an adorable little character and, best yet, they have names! The robot, G-Bot, and squirrel, Miss Julia, are our faves!

It will be hard to choose just one, especially since each sweater is one of a kind, so we advise that you pick out a few (at the very least). At $44, how can you resist?




Norma W. also does a super great foldable bag (And it holds up to 25lbs, amazing!), also with an adorable little creature friend. We recommend getting a bag to be friends with your sweater!

Feather and Swallow earrings

More fun pieces by Odd Bird Designs! Swallows and feathers on earrings pendants and more. Check out the great selection of jewellery like this at Fresh Collective today!

Round and Round

You'll want to spin yourself around in one of these
flirty skirts by Desserts 'n Skirts!

We have retro pink flowers or black and white polka dots
for the girly girl or a "tougher" plaid print or grey and black
multi stripe (probably my favorite even though I am a girly girl!!)
for the "not-as-girly" girl.

Paper People's Low V Layering Top

This is another great spring time layering piece. Wear it over your favourite tank tops and dresses for an added layer of warmth or to add a little spice to a simple outfit. The neckline is outlined with a delicate ruffle trim. It comes in sage with fuchsia trim (shown), brown with turquoise trim, brown with purple trim and burgundy with green trim.

Paper People's Ribbon Tie sweater

This is one of my favourite sweater styles. It's ultra feminine and perfect for layering over dresses and tank tops that you still want to show off while keeping warm. I used the lightest weight sweaters I could find so you can keep wearing them throughout the spring.

A dress can still mean business!

Unless you work in a super straight-laced place, you could totally look pretty and professional in a great cotton dress like this one by Fresh Baked Goods. Top it off with a lightweight cardigan in red or brown and finish the look with some great retro styled pumps to match and you'll probably end up getting that promotion you've been hoping for 'cuz you look so darn professional and make everyone happy at the same time!

We have your cute tops for work!

Spring time is a time to brighten up and break out. But at the same time, pretty pinks, ravishing reds, and beautiful blues will go great with those oh-so-serious suits in grey and brown. Mix it up a bit, by picking up some cute tops and accessories, then get out there and kick some butt at work!
