Valentines Day is this week and Twice Loved has a selection of looks for you to choose from to make your sweetheart swoon or to catch that cute stranger’s eye!  We have pieces that range from sophisticated and sleek to flirty and chic!

When styling your outfit, take American fashion designer, Bill Blass’ advice- “When in doubt, wear red!”

This bright red blazer is sure to get you spotted from among the sea of black peacoats!

This sexy red wrap dress allows you to be as conservative (or risqué) as you want!

If you truly believe that red isn’t your colour, don’t worry! A flirty polka dot dress with a sweetheart neckline is perfect for that night out with your significant other or with your girlfriends… and you can still have your dash of red by pairing it with red heels. Don’t forget your red lipstick to complete the classic pin-up look!IMG_20130210_134013

And if you haven’t heard, Twice Loved is having a party this Saturday, Feb. 16th! Hope to see you all there!

Shopping is better than sex.

Did I catch your attention? Good.

Because it’s true. If you’re not satisfied after shopping, you can make an exchange for something you really like.

If you guys have been following our Facebook page, you’d know that we have a 50% sale (excluding consignment items) starting today. So drop by for a quick visit!

I also included a few photos to convince you guys to head down to the store:

Stressed over the upcoming mid-term season? There’s actually a term for it. Perhaps retail therapy isn’t all bad?

And if I didn’t convince you guys enough, maybe Queen B will:

Obsession of the Moment: ring and wire

Tags

,

I walked into the store today and stopped in my tracks when I noticed this charming and quirky jewellry line: ring & wire.

IMG_4308

I don’t wear jewellry at all, but when I saw all of the stunning pieces, I wanted everything. It’s rare for me to fall in love with every single item from a jewellry line, but ring & wire certainly proved me wrong.

And honestly, how could you not want at least one thing? Just look at these delicate cross bracelets:

They come in gold, black, and silver. Priced at $10 each.

And what about this stunner? It’s honestly the coolest way to wear a bracelet!

$16

Not only is it astonishingly affordable, but it’s all handmade by our very own volunteer Laura Ardieta. You have no idea how proud we are to say that!

Feather earrings: $9

Genuine Pyrite Skull Necklace $16

Oh and I’m not joking when I say that Laura’s jewellry line is ring-ing (get it?) up a storm on my Facebook and Instagram! I’m literally being bombarded with messages that read:

“Want!!”

“It’s so cute I’m coming by!”

“Where can I get them and how much much are they?”

Drop by our store and grab this arm candy!

We open everyday from 11-6pm :)

XOXO,

V

On behalf of everyone here at Twice Loved, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to a beloved volunteer who recently lost a loved one.

Stay Strong

Stay Strong. We love you and we’re always here for you.

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

 

 

2012 in review

2012 marked a remarkable year for Twice Loved. Not only did the store start it’s very first blog, but we were able to direct amazing traffic to the site. Views skyrocketed and we couldn’t do this without the loyalty of our amazing customers!

Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible.

XOXO,

TL

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 2,800 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 5 years to get that many views.
