time to bundle up

welcome to our blog

so finally after five years, we've decided to get modern with our very own space on the internet! while our website is (hopefully) coming in the very near future, we have set up this blog as a show and tell of all the wonderful things going on in our little store.

fall is here and we have lots of new styles coming in each week, so be sure to add us to your favourites and check back regularly to get a sneak peek at the best of this season's collections as soon as they're out of the box.

besides showcasing the gorgeous new things being delivered to us down here on water street, keep your eye on the blog for store updates, designer profiles, and info about upcoming sales and promotions!

this blog is great, but we're even better in person, so be sure to visit the store soon to take a look for yourself at all our new clothing, footwear, and accessories (and maybe even try some things on)!
