I Feel Like A Princess...An Edgy Princess


So yes, lately I have been feeling like a Princess!
Well, at least on the inside.  As I get these feelings throughout the day, I smile.  Literally, this is what happens when you wear what I have been wearing.

Another thing I have to mention is,
I HATE PINK!
I do.  I dislike the colour pink, highly!  Even as a buyer of a boutique, I don't like it, I can't buy it.  Especially baby pink.
Baby pink is for babies.
Sorry if this offends anyone.  I see it as a personality thing.  Colour choices and how you wear said colour choices can say alot about a person.
I don't think I have worn pink since I was a baby.  I don't know if I have ever worn pink....I'll have to check my baby pictures.

Swedish Hasbeen pink is different.
It's quirky cool. 
And because they are clogs, there is a bit of KICK ASS to these pink loafers.  Ballet slippers they are not.  Walking down the street with a purpose shoes, they definitely are!

Wanna giggle to yourself all day?

Then Aria Boutique & Swedish Hasbeens have the answer for you.  Check them out below.  Cruise our site for more styles.  I, the buyer, am slightly addicted to these things, so expect to see more and more every season.  I proudly can say now that

Boyfriends Are Great!

Go Buy Now: Boyfriend Coats
Lately, we've realized that half our wardrobes seem to be borrowed from the boys. We're talking oversized button-downs, baggy trousers, supersized watches, and oxford lace-ups, to name a few pieces we currently can't live without. Apparently we girls want to have it all—and wear it all—so it's no surprise that we're repurposing yet another menswear-inspired item for our own stylesetting agendas: the boyfriend coat. And who can blame us? There's something delightfully powerful about slipping into a big semi-slouchy coat, plus this oversized outerwear option is surprisingly practical, as it allows for all sorts of cozy layering as the weather turns colder. Exhibiting masculine touches—such as large pockets, traditional patterns, and a double-breasted shape—yet fit for the feminine frame, boyfriend coats are the perfect replacement for last year's puffer, making them the winter-wonderful item you must Go Buy Now!

In case you need convincing that this cool coat should be your next big-ticket purchase, we'll take a closer look at some of the collections that brought this trend into the limelight. Seen at the F/W 10 shows of some of our favorite French fashion brands—most notably Chloe, Vanessa Bruno, and Kenzo—boyfriend coats were used to deftly execute two distinct sartorial scenarios. In the first, designers embraced androgyny and paired these coats with menswear basics to conjure up an au courant Annie Hall. An ideal example of this is our featured Kenzo look, for which designer Antonio Marras used a cherry-red boyfriend coat to accent a cropped, wide-leg Pantsuit and even finished off the ensemble with a masculine Hat for a quirky, unisex outfit that's a lovely mix of late-seventies inspiration and cutting-edge style. In the second, boyfriend coats were utilized in contrast to decidedly more feminine pieces, like silky blouses or wool mini skirts, resulting in a sexy I-slept-at-my-boyfriend's-and-stole-his-coat aesthetic. While the latter example is more traditionally alluring (and is often paired with bedhead hair), the former still exudes a sense of confidence that is surprisingly sexy, which means that this outerwear option is a thrillingly versatile pick!

Now that we've given you a quick rundown on all the ways in which to wear this piece du jour, we'll turn our attention to the stars of today's story: the actual coats themselves! At Aria Boutique, we selected Furi Design this season as our shining examples for your layering enjoyment, and we hope that you find them just as covetable as we do!
