Calgary has an undeniable community spirit that always comes together in challenging times. There are incredible ways you can support your favourite local businesses, attractions, arts and culture organizations, from the comfort of your own home and with curbside pick up or with possibly free shipping.
One of my favourite stores is Kate Hewko located in the Devenish Building. This is a fashion brand that provides affordable runway style and festival fashion. Her Instagram stories are the best. The store’s stylists show you how a piece fits on various body types, what to accessorize with, and different ways to pair with other clothing and accessory items found in her store. One stop shopping. FAB! Besides that, Kate is just the nicest person! Gotta love female entrepreneurship and passion.
Here’s her Gift Guide with Gifts for under $100 to treat yourself or someone else! Here are a few that caught my eye.
Kate Hewko Fashion Cloth Face Mask made locally in Calgary Canada.
Mr. and Mrs. Hewko Cloth Face Mask.
This mask secures to your face with elastics around the back of your head not yours ears. Great for those who don’t want to mess up their hair!
For us in Calgary and colder climes, fashion aside, if you’re outdoors in cold weather, texting away on your cellphone, fingerless gloves are the height of practicality. But why put fashion aside; these gloves are gorgeous!
BOW SHEARLING FINGERLESS GLOVES
Animal print – a perennial trend that will be forever chic. They may be more popular from one season to another but, on the whole, they will inevitably reappear forming the cornerstones of our wardrobes. At least, in mine!
Kate sourced these total eye protection computer glasses that have filters in their lenses that let you take charge of your work without absorbing harmful blue light from digital screens. When looking at a screen, especially after dark, these glasses reduce exposure to blue light waves that can keep you awake. I have a pair and I can really say they make a difference!
Do you often buy some beautiful headbands but don’t how to wear it in a stylish and stunning way? Don’t worry! Kate Hewko’s stylist are amazing. My go to girl is Christa! Her sense of style is AMAzing. I have some pretty fabulous outfits put together by her for my personality and style.
BEADED EMBELLISHED KNIT HEADBAND
This is on my Christmas list. Anything with bling catches my eye. This bag has an added bonus in that this mini bag is multi functional. I can wear it across my body or as a belt. Isn’t that convenient? Big enough to store some everyday or travel essentials, but they also allow you to go hands-free so you can do more important things — like capturing the perfect travel Instagrams.
