Oh hello Spring, is that you we see there?! It's been far too long since we've last seen the green grass, tall leafy trees and meadows strewn with wildflowers. We welcome this Spring season with wiiiiiide open arms!
With the changing of seasons comes a whole new to-do list just waiting for you to switch things up and transition into Summer-mode: Spring cleaning, redecorating, gardening, and refreshing your summer wardrobe. From reorganizing your garage to purging your closet, Spring is THE perfect time to clean up your room, home, habits and...well, life!
And why not do this revamping in style?! Get a sneak peek at our newly released S|S 19 Collection - sassy trucker hats, classic statement tanks, a new {and super gorgeous} Adventure Bag and the prettiest jewellery pieces are just waiting to be yours, Mountain Girl! Browse the new S|S 19 Collection here or, better yet, visit us at one of these upcoming local markets (see schedule of events below). Just wait until you see the new tank designs we've made for you. You'll want to book your next weekend getaway ASAP!
