CAMP DRAKE PRESENTS: PANCAKES + PLAYTIME
Saturday August 14 9AM
Anyone who has ever visited Toronto or who lives in Toronto knows all about
The Drake Hotel. We usually stay at
The Gladstone every time we go to Toronto to show the dace collection - but that doesn't stop us from visiting
The Drake General Store 5 times during our 3 day visit.
The
Drake loves their neighbourhood and are giving back to their community with stacks and stacks of buttermilk pancakes! Don't miss their annual community pancake breakfast including limited edition colouring books and a concert for kids - all FREE!
Stop by their Lounge between 9-11am and dress your pancakes with chocolate chips, syrup, bananas, warm berries, whipped butter cream and more... This is so embarrassing... my mouth is actually starting to water! Oh Pancakes, why must you do this to me?

We were really lucky to get a visit from LA Photographer Shannon Norman. She photographed some gorgeous shots of Dace, our studio and Trout that we wanted to share with you.
If you visit her website you'll be able to see her other work. She recently photographed Heidi Merrick's collection and we've fallen in love over the photos she's taken of Lauren & Brian's engagement.
Thank you Shannen!

We were just emailed these images from a photo shoot that
Vincent Lee styled and we're gushing over how cute
Bronwyn looks in this photo. If you don't recognize her,
Bronwyn was our model for our spring 2010 shoot. The
Amie Top she's wearing goes well with those pale pink shorts.

We were so lucky to work with Matilda from
THE PAPER WHALE in Toronto to put together this little gift for you. To celebrate our launch of fall 2010 in stores - we are giving away this cute little
stationary set with every fall 2010 purchase made online at
dace.ca. Each set comes with a note book, pen, set of 4
Polaroid post cards and burlap case. But hurry, this offer is only valid while supplies last.
Matilda Yoo founded THE PAPER WHALE in 2009. Her background in
Graphic Communications Management and her experience in producing print for
various ad agencies enabled Matilda to create THE PAPER WHALE’s first set of
note cards and Polaroid cards in Spring 2010. Matilda’s simplistic style is
mainly applied in creating unique paper products that exude a clean, crisp
feeling. As keepsakes become scarce, Matilda finds romance in creating artistic
pieces that have multiple functions. But it’s the simple joys of rough textured
paper in hand while seeking out dusty golden days and indigo hued nights
Matilda loves most.

Hi Dace,
I just received my second item from Dace, and let me just say I
am getting pretty crazy about this brand. Whatever you do, please don't change
the quality or the detailing that goes into your clothes. I am so impressed by
the fabric, detailing, and construction of the clothes and would hate to see
that compromised in the future. Keep up the great work, and I cannot wait until
Fall 2010 is online!
Thanks,
Lisa Hartanov

Anyone that has ever lived in Vancouver as a child has fond memories of riding
The Mouse Trap at
Playland. The latest editorial from
Montecristo Magazine takes us back to the youthful summers we spent hanging out at the
PNE. Styled by
Lelia Bani and photographed by
Candace Meyer, this spread will make you want to re-visit the old fair... It also makes you itch to buy something new and fashionable to wear to it.

Summer has finally hit Vancouver and there are so many things that we can actually start doing!
1. We can go for night rides on our bikes around the Sea Wall.
2. Have a drink on the patio at Six Acres.
3. Go to Lighthouse Park for a swim with your dog.
4. Do your grocery shopping at the local Farmer's Market.
5. Shop at all of the sidewalk sales - and side walk sales start this weekend!
Violet Boutique will be having weekly sidewalk sales every Saturday for the rest of the
summer. You can enjoy the sun and shop at hugely discounted prices (weather permitting). With up to 80% off on Rachel Comey, Sachin
& Babi, Paul & Joe Sister, Dace and more - we'll be going nuts! Give them a visit at 3012 Granville Street.
