Our F/W '10 collections have arrived in stores and, could it be, we're actually looking forward to cold weather? One of the most desirable things about chilly temperatures is dressing up in Fall layers and all the mixing and matching goodness that entails - it's amazing what a beautiful piece of clothing can do to banish those winter blues.
Perfect way to start planning your wardrobe for the months ahead? Take inspiration from the latest online lookbooks of our exclusive labels TNA, Talula, T.Babaton, Wilfred, Wilfred Free, and Le Fou by Wilfred - each a click away for your sartorial viewing pleasure.
Military-inspired style has been having a field day in the fashion world adding a tough, cool factor to even the girliest of outfits.
Let's be honest. If we have to decide between wearing something that is purely utilitarian versus wearing something that simply looks great, we tend to go with the latter. These military-esque pieces from our latest F/W '10 collections have choices that fit the bill, quite perfectly, for both so you don't have to pick one over the other. Whether you go for a structured military coat, a lightweight army anorak/shirt-jacket (like our TNA one) or a pair of skinny cargo pants, you want options and we've got them.
The key is to pick one piece at a time to wear and let it shine - it's not about excess, it's about military precision.

'Pretty Little Liars' star Shay Mitchell shopped up a storm at our Pacific Centre flagship yesterday and picked up a flurry of the latest Fall/Winter '10 Wilfred, Wilfred Free, T.Babaton, Talula and TNA pieces to tide her through an upcoming season of events, parties, appearances and, well, R&R time. Suffice to say, she got a little something for all occasions. Check out some of the pieces she took home with her - she's must've been as happy about her picks as we were to see them on her because she tweeted, and we quote, "@shaymitch: Just had the best shopping day @ Aritzia in Vancouver! Soooo many cute clothes! Be sure 2 check out their website!Thanks @aritzialoves! :)". Big smile right back at you, Shay!

We can't wait to show you how amazing the pieces from the F/W 2010 collections of our exclusive labels are ... but, you're going to have to sit tight. Because we aren't entirely cruel, here's a sneak peek to whet your appetite for what's to come. The wait will be worth it.
We've been flooded with requests to bring back the exact same TNA canvas bomber jacket worn by Kristen Stewart's character in the new *you-know-what-it's-called* vampire movie as well as on fellow castmates Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed (pictured below) and, of course, we were paying attention! The grey colour (also known as "Dark Shadow") with the red and black plaid flannel lining will be making an encore performance back in stores this Fall. But, if you want to make sure you don't miss out, special order yours today! Call or visit any Aritzia or TNA store location to place an order.
*The version with the striped lining (as pictured above) is available in store now*
1. This light-weight, silky skirt from Talula can easily take you from spring to summer to fall to winter. Florals are big now and that trend isn't going anywhere.
2. Up the va-va-voom factor with this figure-hugging bustier dress by Wilfred. Be prepared - people will be checking you out. 3. Any beach vacations on the horizon? If so, be sure to pack along this tie-dyed romper by Wilfred that's super comfy, super stylish and, most importantly, super effortless. 4. Jeggings, anyone? If you haven't yet jumped on the jegging bandwagon, once you pull on a pair of these ultra-soft Current/Elliott ones, we're sure you'll be converted. Even better that they're now on sale.
5. Summer must-haves: chambray - check, romper - check, chambray + romper - check, check. Need we say more? Romper by Wifred Free. 6. Nothing like a little 80s-inspired neon to make you feel like hitting the surf running. Summer's arrived and there's no better time to take this super soft, hot pink tank treated with a special burnout wash out from hiding. A tan is recommended. Tank by TNA. 7. Our Talula hoodies are a fan favourite season after season and we particularly love this minty green hue ... and the lower price tag.
While filming this latest installation of the Twilight series right here in our hometown of Vancouver, the film's female stars - Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and Elizabeth Reaser - were snapped many-a-time shopping at Aritzia or spending their downtime in our pieces. We're curious to see if any of these pieces ended up in Eclipse's final cut ... let us know if you spot anything!
Lucky for Twihards out there, many of the Twilight cast-approved items the ladies were pictured in were revived, some in updated variations or with more new colours to choose from. Bonus: most of it is on sale now too!
UPDATE: Kristen Stewart apparently wears the TNA bomber pictured below in the new movie!
TNA Canvas Bomber Jacket as seen on Nikki Reed above (and below right on Elizabeth Reaser) - updated with a striped lining. Also available in black and other colours.
TNA Raglan Tee in heather grey as seen on Nikki Reed (above left). Also available in turquoise, red, dark grey and more.
TNA Flannel Shirt (above left) as seen on Kristen Stewart many times will return this Fall in a new, hooded style like this black and white version. For the spring, get your hands on TNA's lighter, more summer-appropriate plaid and gingham piece.
Ashley Greene's oversized Wilfred cardigan (top) and crinkled Talula boyfriend shirt (bottom) are also available now!
We saw just a few of Michaela's images that she posted on our official Facebook page and were instantly drawn to her obvious fashion savvy when accessorizing her pieces from Aritzia. She certainly has a flair for the dramatic, don't you think?
