Floral, the 90’s, and How to Have One without the Other.

We recently received a Vero Moda dress, in which I could waste away my whole summer! The dress features a faded sleeveless denim top, contrasted by a light weight floral skirt. Casual, fun and comfy? Check, check, check. As I gazed hopelessly in love at the new arrival, I began to have flashbacks to the 90’s. Faded denim? Floral? Instantly I saw characters from Friends, Seinfeld, and 90210 sporting my new favorite Spring 2011 dress!
So how can we make sure we look 90210 circa Shenae Grimes rather than Shannen Doherty?
Two decades ago we would have paired this dress with Doc Martens and a deep plum lipstick. So make sure to keep your accessories current! Try this dress with a pair of wedge heels and coral lipstick (Love this trend!). Also, adding a sun hat, geek-chic glasses, and a masculine watch is a quick and easy way to keep up to date!

Fun Facts:
This dress has pockets! YAY!
These glasses have UV Protection!!

Here Jessica Simpson seamlessly pulls off denim and floral 2011 style!!
And here, Jennifer Aniston and Julia Louis-Dreyfus show us floral 90's style...

Mix in a Maxi!

Over the last month the spring and summer collections have been trickling into Lushuz. But the weather hasn’t been screaming spring like the clothes are, making it hard to embrace the bold colours and tiny tanks. Now it’s Easter and FINALLY there is some sun hitting the streets of Vancouver! So Ladies it’s time to ditch the winter boots and bulky coats in exchange for something sun-sational! Okay, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. It is still cold outside. So how can we stay warm while grabbing onto these long awaited sunny days? Why not mix in a Maxi?
Maxi-dresses are a classic and this spring their popularity just keeps growing! Not only do they promise to flatter, they offer maximum comfort and warmth for cool spring days. Add on a cropped vest or blazer to add a little extra warmth. Scarves are also a year-round go to, adding a pop of colour and turning up the heat! Top it all off with some bold gold and a pair of sandals and BAM your ready to cheerfully conquer the cold!
Pretty in Pink: for your lady-like side!



Rockin’ Robin: for the fierce female!

Easily paired with more feminine pieces, this spring collection offers the essentials to keep you in great style from day to night. ©
Original Bandit - Bleached
The Bandit shape is the ultimate rock style look. Long crutch with a double rolled messy cuff. It’s like you grabbed your boyfriend’s jeans and cut the legs off.

 Black Lagoon Dress
Slip it on with the elastic straps and your ready to rock- nothing else needed. Stick a feather in your hair if you’ve got one and some trashed boots. Epic. Rayon chiffon. Back clasp doesn’t open, you slink on into it. Elastic around the waist.

Defender Bowie Tank in Moss Green
The Defenders by OneTeaspoon is a little something we have been working on. The Bowie is new to the Defender family. Its a mix of some of our previous best selling shapes. Super low scooped out arm holes and rise at the back like our famous 'Dusty' shape. Complete with French seams and finished hems. signature hole detailing through the fabric. This detailing is all done by hand!

Duty Tank
Pretty much an unofficial essential. Seems like a basic tank – no it ain’t. Check the sneaky skull button detail on the deliciously oversized pocket. The cut goes slightly higher at the back, just the way we like it. Team the indigo colourway with the ‘aged indigo’ denim for a blue on blue love fest. Burnout Rayon Slub. Has pockets.

Havana Top in Havana Print
Dusty tank shape in a double layer Georgette. Black or Havana with Indigo lining. Wear it day to day or out on the town. Leather pants or denim. Hook and Eye detailing gives it a little something extra. Raw hem as well, which we love! If the hem gets out of control, just give it a little trim, that’s what we do.

Havana Maxi in Havana Print
This takes the prize for number one ease of wear...Nothing hard about this style. Slightly scooped arm holes and neckline so we aren’t revealing too much skin, double layer georgette (indigo lining)...Loose and comfy. It has delicious suede trims and hidden side seam pockets. It falls to the floor and has a 'oneteaspoon' raw hem. It’s meant to fray over time, we want it to! Nothing worse than a 'perfect' maxi that looks like everyone else’s! if the rawness gets too much just give it a lil trim.

The Messiah Tank in Black
Bow to its essential glory. The easiest tank of the collection in a thin cotton jersey. Easy and self explanatory.
 
Trash Shorts in Old Black
Our shortest style which is slightly smaller and a little more fitted. Its unique styling, the hemline naturally rolls because of the angle that it’s cut on. Short rise cuff, with a small tack on the outer seam.

Prohibition Dress in Vintage Black
As you probably already figured, this is the same as the ‘Prohibition Spike Dress’ just minus the studs. Perfect to wear if your not quite as gutsy as us spike stud lovers

Too Fast Dusty Tank
A classic 80's slogan, which matches deliciously to the OneTeaspoon vibe. Teamed with our inside out logo bird. It’s rock n roll all the way. The dusty shape in a light weight cotton jersey, cut off sleeves, a higher back curved hem. Please note that the hem is cut in a high curved shape up the back
 

Viper Tee in Aged Charcoal
The essential block of the season. Oversized and wide in fit, with a low scooped front, rolled sleeves that are tacked up, and a SUPER high cut out back with a huge pocket. Here is the ‘touch yourself’ jersey again. Each Tee has undergone a delicious soft treatment, which means each tee will have its own unique dark grey colour. Low scooped front, tacked up shoulder. Aged charcoal only.
