BattlePink: Help Conquer Breast Cancer in Style!

For those who haven’t heard of BattlePink, its a not-so-friendly battle between some of Canada’s top beauty editors and bloggers. And while the winner of the battle gets some major bragging rights, the real win is the value of funds raised for the battle to find a cure against breast cancer. For every vote cast in the competition, $1 is contributed. Yes, you heard right – all you have to do is check out the participating campaigns and cast your vote with just a click of a button! So how did Pavlyn get involved? Well, when we were approached by Beauty Connexion to participate in this amazing campaign, we were thrilled!!!! We pulled a few of our favourite pieces for Fall 2012, which was then combined with some unreal hair styles, amazing makeup, one very talented photographer and a drop-dead-gorgeous model and the rest is history!

So, please take a look at the winning campaign and don’t forget to cast your vote right here,  for this very important cause! Although only the top three shots made the final cut, we had so many other favourite shots that we couldn’t help but want to share with you…

Dress of the Week: Keepsake’s Lost Without You

Here at Pavlyn Boutique, we’ve always been huge fans of Keepsake. This brand provides glamorous pieces with the sort of unique detailing that guarantees to be a show-stopper.  And of course, all this comes at price points that cannot be beat. For this season, one of our favourite pieces by Keepsake has been the Lost Without You Dress. Right on trend, the dress features subtle cut-outs at the bodice, adding a dose of sexy with glimpses your skin. The dress is further complete with a ruffled v-neckline and a baby doll skirt, creating a real flirty effect.

A-list celebs, including Hayden Panettiere and Nicky Hilton have been spotted rocking the latest colour addition to this dress – Spearmint. Which is why  we couldn’t be more excited about adding  Keepsake’s Lost Without You Dress in Spearmint to Pavlyn Boutique!

Hayden and Nicky are glowing in this season’s hottest  colour. We love the way Nicky paired her Keepsake dress with neutral coloured pumps and clutch, allowing the gorgeous mint colour to shine.  And while Nicky’s look is great for a night out, if you’re looking for a more casual look, we suggest wearing gold gladiator sandals matched with cute gold jewelry.

Looking to tone it down for fall? We love mustard yellow and blush. Sarah Carroll opted for Keepsake’s Lost Without You Dress in Blush while Nicole Richie looked beautiful in Keepsake’s Lost Without You Dress in Mustard Yellow! We love that this dress comes in so many colours, making it easy (or hard) to choose the colour that works best for you.

Recently, we had the opportunity to style the girls from the Nat & Marie show  for their final show of the season. We chose this flirty dress in Mustard for Nat, pairing it with white pump and gold accessories.  We loved the results and so did she!

With so many celebs rocking this gorgeous dress, who do you think wore it best?

Pavlyn Girls meet Nat & Marie

This week we had the honour of being featured on the Nat and Marie show season finale. It was such an amazing experience! We loved meeting the girls in person and all the people behind this show. When we were first contacted by them, we were very flattered that they heard of us! After all Pavlyn Boutique is still a baby in the internet world of online fashion stores.  But, we were no strangers to Nat and Marie. These saavy ladies truly know what is trending on the internet and have heard about us only a couple of weeks after the official launch. Soo, when we were invited to be on the season finale of their show, along with the incredible fashion inspiration, Myles Sexton, we thought Ah-mazing!

Nat and Marie cover everything viral on the internet and sometimes they are ‘ahead of the headlines by as much as  a year!’ So, if you want to stay on top of what’s trending, and have a few good laughs, you should definitely check out their show – www.natandmarie.com!

Here are some pics from backstage the show and you can check out the complete episode with our interview  at www.natandmarie.com

Myles and I look a little bit like we’re in love in this pic….and its true, we are! His creativity is contagious and he is such an inspiration to us!

Of course, we just had to dress the girls for the season finale, so you can see Marie wearing the beautiful Paper Crown Twain skirt and Nat in the Keepsake Lost Without You Dress. The girls looked so gorgeous!

Thank you so much for having us! We can’t wait for the next season of the show!

XOXO
