A Curated Christmas

It means "friend" in French, and one of West Vancouver’s newest (and quite possibly most-stylish) retailers is quickly manifesting its namesake destiny by solidifying highly personal relationships with its customers and becoming a source for fashion they can count on. Now, just in time for the holidays, we’ve teamed up with a m i Boutique to bring you this curated holiday gift guide! —Vita Daily

Sculptural Candles by Renee Lee Smith. These hand-poured sculptural candles by local artist and designer Renee Lee Smith are the perfect gift for your loved ones! Made with organic beeswax and pure botanical essence of neroli oil, notes of black pepper and sensual sweet orange, their scent promotes feelings of love, desire, passion, dreams and chance encounters.

Flannel Stars Shirt by Frank & Eileen. Meet Eileen: laid back in style and spirit, she allows you to give back your boyfriend’s shirt. Design details keep this silhouette flatteringly feminine. Eileen offers more room in the chest and hips and tapers off with a high/low hemline. Eileen is guaranteed to keep you feeling relaxed all day. Wear her with just about anything!

Petit Alistair Bag by Clare V. This perfect, sculptured crossbody in smooth leather featuring double straps is a fun addition for any outfit!

1930s Silk Bandana by Ozma. Oversized and ultra-luxe, Ozma’s bandanas are infinitely useful. Inspired by vintage American-made cotton bandanas, Ozma continues the tradition of form meets function but offers a softer approach in powdery washed silk.

Flour Sack Towels by Face-to-Face. A great towel is hard to find, but not any more. Use these flour sack towels all day, everyday. For coffee, tea or just packing picnics, baking pies, planting spring, farmers markets, finger paints, Sunday Suppers and hostess heat. Enjoy!

Playing Cards by Unfortunate Portrait. A favourite among fashion people for his witty, playful and visibly amateur illustrations, the artist known as Unfortunate Portrait has made playing cards a lot more fun. And all while remaining anonymous, too. Now go fish!

T-shirts by Unfortunate Portrait. A cheeky Unfortunate Portrait tee, composed of soft, weighty jersey and detailed with a playful rendering of fashion icons, makes a perfect gift!
