Pick of the Day!

One of Pam Chorley's amazing designs is the Nightly Gown, which has a criss cross back and drop waist. Here we choose the Pirelli devore fabric for the Fashion Crimes pick of the day! If you want a completely original, show stopping piece to wear to that swanky event coming up, you must consider this dress. Pictured below, you see that we used a gem encrusted, bib-style necklace to contrast against the black, while providing the standard bling needed to make you feel like a movie star!


Pick of the Day!

The Fashion Crimes pick of the day is the always elegant Demure Sleeve dress in navy lyon lace! This piece has a beautifully detailed scalloped hem, sexy sheer sleeves, and sits just above the knee. Of course, we have this style in many other fabrics, and it is available in a sleeveless version. You won't know just how dynamite this dress is until you come in and try it on!
We certainly love layering necklaces; and the funkier the better. Starting from the top is a mini, glass cover pocket watch, followed by an Eiffel tower charm necklace, with a birdcage pendant finishing the ensemble. To create a less formal look, we have added a brown leather toggle belt, which just so happens to be on sale for 30% off and is 100% Canadian. Best to take advantage while they're still here, see you soon!

Pick of the Day!

With all the new accessories for the Fall season arriving at Fashion Crimes, it's getting harder and harder to choose a pick of the day! We decided that these gorgeous crystal bead and sequin headbands deserved the spotlight; and keep in mind these are just a mere sample of what's new at our wonderful boutique. These hair accessories come in a variety of shapes and colours (including black, navy, pink and gold), and they are perfect for adding a subtle hint of sparkle to your cranium. You can take my word for it, or come on in to Fashion Crimes and see for yourself! I suggest the latter. See you soon!

Can't Dogs Wear Fashion Crimes Too?

Modelling the Fashion Crimes pick of the day is Kat McEwen's beloved Fridge, an adorable Boston Terrier that we all want to take home with us! Fridge is sporting a fur ermine necklace, which can also be worn as a bracelet. Like all of our furs, it is Canadian sourced (click HERE for more info on the Canadian fur trade), thus supporting our economy and independent fur traders. We have a wide variety of fur (and faux fur) hats,stoles, and key chains. Come on in and take a peek!

Mermaid Dress Success!

One day Alexis Taylor came to Fashion Crimes to find a fabulous dress to wear to a wedding. She found a gorgeous apple print chiffon Mermaid dress on sale, but unfortunately was a size too big for her. She left the boutique empty handed, but the dress must have haunted her dreams because on the day of the wedding she paid us yet another visit. This time Alexis came rushing through, hair in curlers, in the hopes her dress had not been purchased. Luckily, the dress was still here, so the pretty lady hurled herself into our change room while the lovely Cha Cha quickly helped pin the dress to her size. On the 30 minute train ride to Oakville, Alexis managed to alter the dress by hand! And judging by the pictures, she did an amazing job! Wow woman, you look stunning; we can all learn from your determination and creativity!

Ladies (and gents)! Alexis was lucky in this case, but in many instances we see women coming back to the store to claim the garment they had left behind, only to discover it has been sold. We hate seeing disappointed faces, so if you find a dress you love make sure you take it home with you that day!

Pick of the Day!

How we love our petite clutches here at Fashion Crimes! This beautiful satin, rhinestone trim purse makes the cut for the pick of the day. This classy number is a perfect way to fancy up any outfit, it will hold all your necessities, and, like all of our clutches, it comes with a detachable chain. And how cute is that rhinestone crown clasp?! We love this adorable detail; everyone could use a little royalty in their lives. This piece needs a home; you know where to find it!!

There is never a dull moment at Fashion Crimes! Recently our store window was one of the settings for the Candy Coated Killahz' music video Light Up This City off the album Neon Black. The video has two ladies posing as mannequins in the always spectacular Jezebel Pom dress (pictured above). They spring to life to join the dance party in the window; the video is so awesome!
