VELVET LINING
OCTOBER 23RD, 2007
Now that it’s finally safe to leave the house without a lifeboat, get your gumboots up to Kerrisdale to check out the new Velvet Room Boutique.
Find great fall coats and knit, fingerless gloves from Vancouver’s rising star Mellinda-Mae Harlingten who studied fashion design in London, England.
Scope the Vasanti cosmetics line with colours to flatter Asian and South Asian skin tones and don’t miss locally made “scoods” (a hood-scarf hybrid)—perfect for blustery days ahead.
