Amazing new Spring hoodies
Adorable fleece pieces from left to right: Surf's Up in Heather Indigo, Gidget in Fuschia and Blue Crush in Mint Julep. Also note the Edie cargo shorts in Stone and Surplus Green - love them!
We can't wait to add these beauties to our Spring wardrobe :)
Orb Spring Inspiration: Gidget
It's all about sun, sand and killer style in our Spring 2012 Body Collection, inspired by 60s surf icon, Gidget. This no-nonsense beach babe showed the world that ruling the waves wasn't just for the boys and she did it while epitomizing laid back California cool and vintage beach chic.
Take a look at a few snaps from our Spring shoot (above) and some snaps of Gidget (Sandra Dee) herself. Note the playful pooch that got in the shot and ended up playing fetch with our model - you've got to love happy accidents captured on camera :)
Stay tuned for the rest of this fabulous collection to be available in our online store!
Aspen XGames 2012
Every rider should have the chance to go see the XGames because they are so amazing.
This year, the Winter XGames were still in the beautiful region on Aspen, Colorado.
I had the chance to see the Skiing SuperPipe Women's Final, Skiing SuperPipe Men's Final, Snowboarder X Men's & Women's Final, Skiing Big Air Final and Snowboard Slopestyle Men's Final.
It was really amazing to be that close of the action.
I think all the riders were sick and worth a round of applause because the setups were humongous!!
I hope you all had the chance to watch the action on TV and that maybe next year you can be part of the action too!
Love,
Kamie

Kamie Snowboarding at Eldora
I am back in Colorado for my second semester at the University of Northern Colorado.
Americans treat me well, so do the mountains.
This weekend, I went with a couple of other International Students to the closest mountain from our University, Eldora.
I was so excited to try on my new Orb gear and absolutely delighted of their technicality.
Thanks to the Orb Family and I'll talk to you soon with other amazing trips.
Love,
Kamie
Packing Tape is the New Street Art
Amazing works of art by Max Zorn, who skillfully cuts and layers brown packing tape to create these masterpieces. How magical would it be to see one of these illuminated by a street lamp on the streets of Amsterdam?!
Festive Fancy
In between the family bonding, playing in the snow and major feasting - there's always a little time for some fancy festivities! Play dress up in one of Orb's several party worthy frocks (from the left): Duffy, Poppy, Delphine and Duffy (in black).
Warmest wishes for a fun filled holiday,
Orb xoxo
Balmy November Jacket
.
So I was hanging out in Vancouver this weekend enjoying our balmy November weather, wearing my favourite new balmy November jacket.
Watch this video and you’ll understand. And seriously, the Helena jacket is my new favourite, I think four of us in the office have it! It's waterproof, warm and awesome.
Movember Nail Art DIY
photo: stylesite
As many of you know, most likely from the barrage of moustached males walking the streets these days, it's Movember! A time when our favourite fellas spend the month of November growing funny facial hair to raise funds and awareness for men's health issues, specifically prostate cancer. It's a great cause that the team here at Orb (and our brother brand Arson) care a lot about. And this cause is not just for the boys. As a lady lacking the ability to grow a dapper 'stache, there are plenty of other ways to get involved in the cause. Along with donating money to the "Mo Bros" in your life or starting a Movember team with your group of friends or co-workers, why not dazzle up your digits with some expertly polished moustache decals? A sure-fire conversation starter, when someone asks you about your fantastic nails you can chat them up about the cause and help raise awareness. Check out these awesome nail art tutorials for tips and ideas, then get polishing!
