Although the weather keeps playing tricks with us and we keep thinking Mr. Sunshine will be staying for more than a day, we can still start Spring and Summer wardrobe shopping. There’s nothing like a little positive thinking to usher in warmer weather. We here at Holly Boutique are excited for all the incoming new must-have pieces that are rolling in and we hope that you’ll come around for a visit, take a peek and share the excitement.

Gypsy ’05 has been a Holly mainstay brand for several seasons now and for good reason! Established in 2005 by brother and sister duo, Osi and Dotan Shoham, the brand is a reflection and celebration of the Southern California lifestyle. Utilizing exclusive dye techniques and progressive wash processes, each Gypsy ’05 piece represents uniqueness as no two dyed pieces will be the same. With a focus on incorporating organic fabrics, soy softeners, low impact dyes and seaweed extract printing into the collection, the company holds environmental awareness as a core philosophy. Located in Los Angeles, California, where their headquarters is based, is the first completely solar-powered dyeing, printing and manufacturing facility.

We just love the eco-friendly vision of this company (plus the dresses!) and we know you will fall in love with the clothes as much as we have. Newly arrived is the Nahil Smocked Tube Maxi Dress $245 and the Nahil Cold Shoulder V-Neck Mini Dress $165. Come and try one on for size before they’re sold out, and don’t say we didn’t warn you first.

Melissa is the latest and hottest shoe line that we are carrying at Holly. A world renowned brand, Melissa is all about providing cutting edge design collaborations, chic styling and on trend colour finishes without having to sacrifice comfort. In addition to an ultra comfortable fit, each Melissa shoes is infused with a fun bubble gum scent to ensure that you don’t carry a lingering rubber smell around that most “plastic” shoes may have.

As each melissa shoe is non-leather, they will not degrade in weather or water and are completely suitable for vegans and animal rights supporters.

Each Melissa shoe is made entirely of plastic and not the kind of plastic that is harming our world. There are many different kinds of plastic and many different technologies used to manufacture, use and recycle plastic. Melissa plastic shoes are made from mono-materials, which means they can be easily disassembled and recycled.

Melissa understands the “PPP” philosophy: People, Planet, Profit by focusing on a zero waste ethos and keeping in mind the life cycle of materials by recycling 99.9% of the factory water and waste and recycling overstock product for next seasons collection.

If that isn’t enough, Melissa is part of a non profit organizations that supports local homeless womens and childrens centers and also plays an active role in developing green urban areas.

So next time you stop by Holly you can shop guilt free when purchasing a pair of Melissa shoes because not only will you walk away with the PERFECT Spring Summer shoe, but also part of the proceeds go towards a good cause! How can you resist?!

” [When it comes to the fashion industry] ‘It’s either all, cheap, cheap, cheap or you have to pay $300, there is no middle range,’ Maryanne said. That is why she is on this safari. She’s found the missing link in the industry. Maryanne caters for ‘that yummy mummy, that young middle age group neglected in the market,’ to provide affordable yet sophisticated clothes for ‘a maximum of $145′ “

Hailing from the land down under (Australia), Pink Stitch is a relatively new brand with 5 years under its belt. Headed by Creative Director Maryanne Petsinis, you will find easy-to-wear pieces that are luxe in feel and quality but at a fraction of the price. An attention to detail and quality is what you will find in each piece on perusal.

We are excited to offer this new line at Holly Boutique.
