NEW ARRIVAL // CHEAP MONDAY SECOND SKIN

Jean shopping can be really frustrating and discouraging, this we know. Lucky for you, our Cheap Monday jeans for women have arrived! The second skin jeans have a super high waist, super skinny leg and above all are incredibly stretchy. These jeans hug you in all the right places. We have the two colors pictured below in-store.



Second Skin Poly Indigo Blue
Second Skin Very Stretch Black


AND in the spirit of Sweden, here is a song by Stockholm based singer Molly Nilsson to wind down your sunday:


PLAYING WITH STYLE // MIX AND MATCH FALL LOOKS

Friend of the boutique, Jasmine, came in today in search of fall outfits. She played around with classic looks and funky ensembles, as well as trying on an outfit composed entirely of menswear, which she rocked.  In true George and Jane style, we pulled out the camera and captured this event. Check out the looks in the pictures below and stop by the store to experiment with your own style!

THIS YEAR IS YOUR YEAR

You've probably noticed that it REALLY IS fall in Montreal. The leaves are changing color, it's rainy, people are stocking up on tea and warm sweaters for themselves and their dogs... talking about what they're going to do with the pumpkin they bought at the market and who they're going to invite for Thanksgiving dinner. Fall is not only a beautiful season, but also a great time because... IT'S HALLOWEEN! If you, like us, love Halloween, you're probably already thinking of what your costume will be. If not... you should get on it! Remember last year when you said "next year I'm going to have the best costume ever?". We didn't forget this year. So here's a little reminder and some fun suggestions of Halloween costumes!

Bjork?

Magritte "Le fils de l'homme"?

Lichtenstein?

Baby sushi or....


Sexy adult sushi?

A cupcake? You can even decorate it however you want!

...or a diver caught by a jellyfish?

A BABY SHRIMP!
                                                                      
Medusa?

We'll post more costume ideas next week! 3 weeks left until Halloween!

MEET SAM & LAVI

Yesterday we received a new shipment from Sam & Lavi with beautiful unique pieces and we realized that we had never really introduced them to you! LA based couple and business partners, the founders of Sam & Lavi launched their brand just about two years ago. We love Sam & Lavi because their designs are always playful and vibrant, while still remaining really unique and key pieces in a wardrobe. Whether it's a printed dress or a shirt, a tank-top or a skirt, they're day/night items that make a basic outfit look cool-chic! A lot of the time, the fun prints replace accessories and therefore make the process of dressing up in the morning or at night a no-brainer (who doesn't love that?!?!).

 Here's a little sneak peek at some of the items that we have in store!




* Note: we received the printed dress yesterday and only have one left!
