Here are some good tunes each with a take on some kind of psychotropic inspired video. 

 

1.  Kid Cudi Pursuit of Happiness (feat. MGMT & Ratatat) [Alternate Version]

I'm a sucker for this kind of illusion play and keep watching it over again.  Imagine how fun it would have been to work on the set.  Or on those costumes.

 

2. Azari III  Manhooker  

These dudes are Toronto locals and put on a great live show.  The really simple video is totally fitting somehow.  

 

3. J* Davey Get Together  

I just want to hear a new J Davey album already! 

 

4. Yeasayer Ambling Alp  

It's not a big secret that I love this song and if you've been in store in the last month you've heard the album playing no doubt.  The video is a pretty awesome throwback to '70s psychedelic art movies.

Russell Brand seems to have great taste.  Not only has the British funnyman snagged Katy Perry as his fiancee, but he was also snapped heading to the gym toting our Park Life for Aritzia duffel.  The Park Life for Aritzia sale won't last forever so, if you want this same piece of arm candy (sorry, we can't do anything about getting Katy for you), head over to your closest Aritzia/TNA location now!

We came across this shot from photographer Candace Meyer's personal collection and we're rather captivated by how perfectly the dress from our new luxe line, Little Moon by Wilfred, compliments the ethereal mood of the image.  We think it's a match made in heaven.

Little Moon by Wilfred is available now at select Aritzia locations.

Olympic spirit has been riding on high and we’re about to make it even better.  Pretty much all of our officially licensed Park Life for Aritzia collection (with the exception of just a handful of items) is on sale now!  Do we hear cheering all around?  Head to your nearest Aritzia/TNA location to get your hands on some pieces before everything is gone for good.  Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

1.  Even post-Olympics, this raglan tee featuring an Aboriginal-inspired print will still be as comfy as it is cool.

2.  We think this Retro Track Jacket featuring the emblem of the 1980 Olympic Summer Games in Russia will be highly coveted when the 2014 Winter Olympics comes around in, you guessed it, Russia.

3.  Who knew that the view of Whistler could be just as stunning screened on a parka as it is in person?!  Ok, maybe its not quite the same but this parka pulls it off as much as a piece of clothing could hope for and that's saying a lot.

4.  A warm toque, mittens and scarf are winter must-haves now and always.  The chilly weather hasn't quite left us yet so stay stylish in this black set very subtly decorated with patches of vintage icons.

5.  We love this duffel.  We love the colour, we love the patches, we love the fabric.  We love everything about it.  Period.

 

The Park Life for Aritzia sale (20-50% off selected merchandise) is on now.

There's a reason why so many people love U-Tern. One of Vancouver's finest DJs, he has a genius little knack for creating specific moods with music.  It's something he demonstrates regularly on One Day Later, his show on Brooklyn Radio. When tasked with making Aritzia a custom mix U-Tern created the mood of being "More Than Friends".  Um..is anyone else swooning???

What better way is there to celebrate winning an Olympic gold medal than to treat oneself to a much-deserved shopping spree?  We can't think of one.  Lindsey Vonn certainly seems to agree with us because she made a pit-stop at our Pacific Centre store over the weekend before her (and the rest of the Olympic visitors) left town.

Lindsey - we know that your new favourite accessory is probably your gold medal but does the leopard-print wool scarf you took home come in second?  In this case, we'd be happy to take silver.

A common denominator between some of the most stylish women out there - regardless of what type of look they have - is a certain effortlessness in pulling off what they're wearing.  The French may think of it as that je nais sais quos factor, but we think we know what their secret is.  It boils down to the luxe basics they build their outfits on.

Wilfred Free - our line of uncomplicated, easy-to-wear basics that are anything but basic - is the perfect foundation for any enviable wardrobe.  Look for pieces that look great on their own or layered.  Casual, comfortable, sexy - the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

The Wilfred Free Spring/Summer 2010 collection is available at all Aritzia locations now.

We'd bet a pretty penny that The Aritzia Yeti was one of the most popular figures with ladies (and some gentlemen) during the Winter Games.  These pictures seem to prove it.  Did you take a photo with him?  If so, send us your pictures at feedback@aritzia.com with "Yeti Photos" in the subject field for a chance to be featured right here!
