Holiday Style - Bonne Chance!

Dec 17th 2010 by

Bonne Chance (in Blue Smoke), Broome (in Black), Suede Platform Wedges by Jeffrey Campbell, Square Vintage Post Earrings from Urban Outfitters.

Put on the Bonne Chance (OF10-150) sleeveless top and look gorgeous in an instant! The ruffle detail down the front and lovely silky fabric make this top dressy and the long, loose silhouette make it oh so comfy – the best of both worlds!

Pair it with skinny pants and wedge heels or try layering it over leggings and ballet flats. Grab your favourite black bag (we love the Broome’s (OF10-32) gold accents) and head out the door!

For all of those office parties and festive dinners out, our Bonne Chance will be your lucky charm this holiday season.

Holiday Gift DIY

Dec 14th 2010 by

Here's a great DIY stocking stuffer idea to help you finish up your Holiday gift list (it also makes a perfect present add-on to an Orb hoodie or tee for your family or BFFs).  From the drool-worthy Design Sponge, this homemade candle in a vintage tin is adorable, crafty and a great excuse to scour your local thrift shop or flea market to find the perfect festive tin.  Check out the link for the full how-to and pictures.

Fashion Crush: Alexa Chung

Dec 14th 2010 by

It’s hard not to have a fashion crush on Alexa Chung.  She’s an adorable waif of a fashion icon, and even though her current job title of model-tv presenter-celebrity fashion designer-it girl is a bit of a cliché, her raspy English accent, self-depricating sense of humour and amazing girly tom boy style always win us over.  Watch this video from style.com of Alexa touring through her favourite haunts in Williamsburg (that’d be Brooklyn) and talking about what inspires her sense of style.  Beyond charming.  Enjoy!

Introducing OneOrb Girl - Louise Choee

Dec 1st 2010 by

Here at Orb we recently launched a program titled OneOrb, our process in this is to identify women that we feel best represent our brand. Orb holds a set of core values that include respecting and supporting the earth, our communities and our customers.  We understand that good things happen in the world when one person lends a hand to make a difference; when one person reaches out to become a role model to others; or when one person speaks up and takes a stand.  It all starts with one person.  OneOrb is Orb’s way of recognizing those empowered, socially conscious, active and aware women who are – each in their own way – making a difference. 

INTRODUCING....OneOrb Girl, Louise Choee!

Louise has taken on a very special and ambitious initiative to celebrate her birthday this year. She has taken up the Canadian Mental Health Association's cause of raising funds and awareness for those afflicted with mental health conditions across the nation. We grabbed this info. below off of her fundraising website.

"This past February, someone close to me was diagnosed with mental illness. I've seen what it can do and how it difficult it can be for the people who are affected by it. I wanted to contribute to this cause in my own way. If this helps those who have experienced similar things, then it will have been more worthwhile.

So this year, instead of having amazing dinners, buying me pretty things, or spending all that money on alcohol, I would love for you to donate that money to CMHA instead. Knowing that you support me and believe in my cause will have been the best birthday wish I could've ever asked for."

You can donate to the cause here: http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=1043058&langPref=en-CA

Happy 22nd birthday, Louise!
