NEED SUPPLY & HELLO TO OUR 3 NEW STOCKISTS!

Spring bags are up on the Need Supply site! We're both big fans Need, and we window shop there constantly, so it's always a thrill to see our stuff on their site :)

And introducing 3 new awesome FW stockists! 

Big, warm shout outs to:

1. Park Deli NY. Skateboarding, flowers, and more! I can't wait to visit this place when I'm in NY this summer. Sounds like a really neat shop. Flowers!

2. Yo Vintage. Our first Portland stockist :) Cool look books & a mix of new/vintage goods. I wish I was travelling to Portland anytime in the near future so I could check this place out in person too. Anyone wanna pack me in their suitcase?

3. Type Books (Forest Hill location only, Toronto) Books AND gifts. Two of the greatest things! Together.

And for those of you who may have missed the news about our mini summer update last week - there are a few new styles up in the shop! Including this beachy little striped wallet. BEACH PARTY!!!

SHOP UPDATE! FRESH DELIVERY!

News! Today we added a fresh crop of spring/summer goods to the shop. 

Featuring some fruit inspired prints- pineapples, watermelons, seeds, and more!

The sun is finally sticking around, the bbq's are getting fired up, bikes are on the road, and I left the house without a jacket on for the first time yesterday! Spring was shy this year, but it looks like it's finally here to stay. Hello Spring, welcome to the party. Yes!

Fact: The green leather in this picture above will blow your mind in person. It's the best colour!

HIGH FIVE: WHAT'S ON TV? SANDI'S PICKS.

For all the TV lovers in the house, this edition of HIGH FIVE is for you! Let's talk about TV shows we like (past, present, future, whatever). I tend to binge on a show and then move on to the next one, but here are a few shows I revisit from time to time.

THE X-FILES  I was a huge X-Files fan when I was a kid. I wrote X-Files inspired stories with my best friend in grade 9 and had a birthday cake with X-FILES written on it in green icing when I turned 16. #noshame The X-Files has a special place in my heart. It's comfort tv with monsters and government conspiracies and not so secret love! I've re-watched it a number of times, and I'll likely watch it again. Some of it has not aged well, and some of it is still so good. Alien bounty hunters! Mulder! The black oil! Plus Scully is the most beautiful woman on the planet. I didn't even hate John Doggett... Bonus points: The first X-Files movie was also amazing. Let's just not talk about the second one...

     

IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA This show always makes me want to be go on wild, semi-destructive (aka totally destructive but well-meaning) adventures with my best buds. These guys are horrible to each other in the way that only best buds (and horrible people) can be. Love it!

PEEP SHOW After watching this show I felt very aware of my own inner monologue and often wondered about what people were really thinking all around me. Now I try not to think about it. People are always thinking! 

      

ROSEANNE I recently re-watched Roseanne and was surprised at how many times I ended up getting emotional. Some great serious stuff mixed in there with all the jokes and comebacks! We could skip the whole Dan has an affair and The Connor's win the lottery thing (blech), but everything up to that point was perfect. Bonus points: Best Halloween costumes. Also? I'm going to see Roseanne in Vegas this week!!! Please send me all your Las Vegas secrets.

ENLIGHTENED Enlightened is cancelled and everyone is sad because Enlightened was awesome. Flawed characters that continue to survive in a harsh world! Misery and hope!  Mike White was recently on an episode of WTFpod, and you should check that out if you're a fan of the show. <3 Mike White.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Louie, Bored To Death, Wilfred, Breaking Bad, Bored To Death, Grey's Anatomy (Seriously. I can't lie to you!), Mad Men, The Walking Dead, Freaky Eaters, Blue Jays Baseball, Damages, Parks & Rec, The Daily Show, and on and on and on.

THANKS! LOCAL STOCKISTS! SNAPS!

Our spring collection has been out for a few weeks, and Danielle and I wanted to extend a big, huge THANK YOU to everyone that has responded enthusiastically to our spring collection and fruit heavy lookbook. The weather might still be chilly, but our hearts are definitely warm (wordplay groan! I can't help myself!).

Thanks to Refinery 29 for posting about our Spring collection! We were thrilled to see this!

And big ups to one of our local TO weeklies Now Magazine for the print love. Issue out today!

More loud high fives and shout outs to Vitamin Daily TO, Sidewalk Hustle, Gems, Cotton and Flax,  The Follow Fashion, I Am The Lab, Omiyage, Emmajanenation, Outblush, Main Montreal, and anyone I've missed! We really appreciate when people take the time to write about us. You guys are the greatest!

For all you Torontonians in the house, a fresh delivery of FW goods can now be found at Robber (Erin at Robber has declared it the Year Of The Pineapple, and we are totally on board with that!), Kid Icarus, and our newest stockist Scout!  

And now for a few random snaps!

Brown leather + turquoise leather + a green plant = a very pleasing colour combo! Danielle and I have somehow managed to keep this plant (mostly) alive. It's a true miracle.

Danielle's thread collection grows bigger and more colourful everyday.

 

Some of our look book signs have found forever homes on our walls and in our windows! FRESH 4EVER.

Lastly, here I am on the first springy day of the year taking my clutch out for a spin. Before Danielle and I started Falconwright I never really wore prints (or colours for that matter), despite admiring them on everyone else. Now I just combine them with reckless abandon! Talisman print clutch + leopard print dress? YES PLEASE. #printsprintsprints
