Cover up!

There are all kinds of reasons for covering up in the summer!
- protection from the sun's rays
- to keep warm on a cool night
- just to layer
- to cover those arms!
We have a nice variety of linen cover-ups to wear over something sleeveless.

Cosy up after Christmas

At the start of the new year to want to start fresh!  We want it to be summer, and to change out our wardrobe for little linen dresses and strolls in the sun.  But the truth is, we have just entered the winter months, and we have lots of cold wet days ahead of us.  To enjoy this beautiful city where we live, we need warm cosy sweaters, and good raincoats.


In Urbanity we take our time transitioning into spring.  We are well stocked with the world's most beautiful sweaters.  And in the evenings, snuggle up under an Oleana blanket while you enjoy a good book.

We still have a number of classic McVerdi raincoats that will keep you cosy and warm.  These coats are classics, and we love them.

If you are going to where the sun shines, we have linen dresses and sweaters that have been waiting just for you!

We have reduced the prices on those clothes or colours that we will not be repeating like this orange raincoat.  Also reduced are reversible coats and vests from Beyond Threads, corduroy lantern pants from Cut Loose, and beautiful silk blouses from TMCollection.  Come in and be surprised!

FINALLY, we have the colour samples for the linen pinafores that we have requested from Cut Loose.  You can choose the colour you want either in the store or on the Cut Loose website.  I will be placing the order at the beginning of next week.
