Cool Comforts

Poor Elsa. Her new Volcom drawstring pants haven't seen the sun in days! Luckily, we've devised four different ways to wear these comfy little gems....

This look is a no brainer. Keep is cool and casual with the perfect white tee by RVCA, Hummel sneakers and le chapeau de l'ete, a floppy straw hat from Brixton.


An trendy way to pull together railway stripes is with a contrasting pattern, in this case pink lace. Super cute look for a patio date or walkin & shoppin :)

Volcom pants, Kersch top, Uranium feather/hoop earrings, Volcom bag and sandals.





Beach babe. Volcom pants in olive, Volcom bikini, bag and sandals, Obey navaho print tank.


We've basically thrown the rule book out the window here - cuff your comfies and toss on some heels, you're ready for a night out! Volcom pants in black, Jeffrey Campbell heels (check out the spring line at our soul sister store here), Insight dress (worn as shirt), Brixton straw fedora, Uranium necklace

Jump Around!

Paint your nails something bright and hit a patio! The sun is out and you better shave those beast-legs, because this is prime dress time.

You should also know that jumpers, onesies, rompers and toddlers' clothes are in like flynn ;) You can toss one on for absolutely anything - they're notoriously beach friendly, great for shopping bc they're so easy to get in and out of, or try topping one with gold jewels, jacket and heels for a night out. No matter which way you rock it, this years' jumpers are just plain adorable.


Pockets are key! Yumi dress, Volcom sandals

Stay Classy

Are all of your boys wearing black suits to formal this year? Avoid looking like "March of the Penguins" and try a more unique look by mixing clean khakis, low tops and fedoras.

The rules of formal wear have seriously relaxed in the last few years, so you can feel comfortable customizing your prom night outfit and staying true to your personal style. This could be as simple as cuffing your khakis and wearing a pair of premium sneakers instead of glossy dress shoes. Go dapper with a hat, or work a yacht club look and wear a light button-up shirt with a v-neck sweater (if you want to really get into character, tie it around your shoulders and shake everyones hand really enthusiasically whilst smoking a pipe). Because every girls' crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Keeping You In The Know

The ladies section has been revamped to show off new spring gear from Quiksilver Womens, Obey, Volcom, Kersch and Flavour's own Lola's Room - get your basics, your bar tops, sweats for kickin it and pretty prom dresses.

The last day to vote for PVCS in Hurley's Walk The Walk Challenge is FRIDAY! So click here now and vote!

For all you big footed freaks, Flavour just re-upped on Vans Rata Vulcs in your favorite colors - we've got khaki hemp, daschaund suede, classic blue and black in all sizes under the rainbow to keep your feet clean enough for a vegan to eat off of.

Aaaand Hurley is here to install the first Flavour Pop-Up Shop of 2011! This Saturday swing by to see all the summer goodies for girls and boys in the back room - it's going to be a busy season! We've got Hurley, Nixon, Vans & LRG decking out the Pop-Up just for you all summer long. Stay tuned for upcoming events and just possibly, a giant party the likes of which Peterborough has NEVER seen, coming to you compliments of Flavour and Nixon ;)

Hippies, layabouts and the wasted youth.

I don't many hippies that are up at 5 a.m. because they're too excited to sleep, but alas, here we are. I finally got to move all of our winter clearance to the sale room (check back later for my top sale picks!), and today I'm going full swing into spring.

I think we're all dying for a taste of summer, so I'm dedicating this post to the upcoming warm weather and to my fave local blogger, Miss Carly of teacupsandbubblebaths. Her newest post had me flipping over navaho-inspired leather belts, cozy sweaters, and white western dresses.

An ode to a seventies summer (and oh yeah, everything you see is available at Flavour - come by and check out the new ladies section today!)

Kiss Me Deadly

At Flavour we just can't stop hooking you girls up!

When we saw how amazing the Obey spring collection was, we knew we had to do something special. So we've customized an entire wall of our womens sections just to hold all the sugary goodness! This will give you a bad(ass) case of "I-just-had-to-have-it-itis"

Stop by to the admire the handiwork, and welcome the new spring collection :)

OBEY | MENS | SP11 Look Book

OBEY Mens Spring 2011 Look Book is here! Some great pieces coming to Flavour. OBEY continues to push the slimmed down, basic look they’ve established over the past several seasons, with styles that will work for many. Navajo and nautical influences are seen, and of course, the Shepard Fairey imagery makes appearances throughout.
