Holiday Style
Though the holidays are about giving to others, the one thing I can justify buying for myself is an awesome holiday party outfit! I love glittery seperates that can be quickly restyled into slightly different looks for all the various holiday functions. We just put out a bunch of vintage pieces that will be perfect for any celebration- come on by and check them out!
classic black and white can work for any party and worn for years to come! pair with a fur stole and festive turquoise and magenta accessories for a total holiday look.
stand out in metallic gold and bold cobalt. these seperates are great wardrobe pieces and can both be dressed up or down.
be timeless in this 1960's printed dress and hand-beaded cardigan.
this 1940's knit top would look amazing with a full skirt or high-waisted pants. the detail on the collar is sure to be a conversation starter.
if you have a really fancy event, this 1960's mint green ballgown is sure to make you the talk of the party...and generate a long line under the mistletoe.
the loly in the sky flats in the 'erika' style are perfectly paired with any holiday look!
all items available at Girl on the Wing. -

Holiday Give-Back
Well it seems the holidays have officially started! I heard "All I Want for Christmas is You" for the first time this week in public (I say public because let's be real, that song gets year-round play at my house). Next, I got asked what was on my christmas list. Then all of a sudden I found myself only interested in vintage ornaments at my favourite antique market. It's official. Let the Holiday Season begin!
We've got lots of exciting things in store (pun intended) for the holiday season but the most important is our Holiday Give-Back. The month long event will benefit Hamilton's Interval House, which provides a safe and supportive environment for women and children escaping abuse. Many women arrive with only the clothes on their backs and without most everyday essentials. Items like winter clothing, toiletries, towels, underwear, and diapers are desperately needed.
We'll be accepting donations from this Friday November 22nd through to December 18th. And to thank our thoughtful customers who bring in a donation, we'll be taking the tax off all your holiday shopping! Plus your name will be entered into a draw for a special gift from Girl on the Wing. So help us make someone's holiday season a bit brighter and support the Holiday Give-Back!Items Being Accepted:
Gently-Used Winter Clothing: jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, snowpants, boots
Toiletries: shampoo, toothpaste, feminine products, soap, face wash, deodorant
Children's Items: diapers, formula, new toys, gently-used books, arts and craft supplies
Cozy Items: sheets, towels, slippers, socks, underwear, pjs, bathrobes (only unused items please)
xoxo,
Girl on the Wing
