As much as we love incorporating spring and summer items into our winter wardrobe-- bare legs should not be one of them! Long coats and trenches are great for keeping out the wind, but when paired with bare legs or even nude tights, you just end up looking like a streaker! We definitely wouldn't want that!

Solution?

TIGHTS AND LEGGINGS!!

We love this trend because there are soo many options! Party goers alike all tend towards the little black dress because its both dressed up and slimming. Pairing an awesome pair of coloured, textured or patterned tights adds interest and sets you apart from all of the other LBD's in the room!

The Ultimate HUSH Gift Giving Guide

This time of year is supposed to be about spending time with those we love, and yet somehow we end up spending far too much time going from store to store at the mall, searching for that perfect gift.
With Christmas only 12 days away, there just isn’t time to get stuck not knowing what to get that tricky someone on your list. To help you with this, we at HUSH have come up with a gift giving guide to inspire you and save you time!
Make HUSH your one stop shop for gifts this season!

Your Mother-in-Law: It can be hard to know what to get the woman you’re so often compared to!
We Recommend: A Pashmina!!! Scarves are huge this season, they no longer have to be worn just with your coat. Scarves can be incorporated all year round into outfits, becoming the ultimate accessory because they add a pop of colour to any outfit and can replace a necklace.
The pashmina is the closest thing to your face so make sure you pick a colour that goes well with hair colour and skin tone and voila, the perfect gift! Luckily, HUSH carries a wide range of gorgeous colours!

Your Best Friend: Looking for something fun and totally unique that is still in your budget?
We Recommend: PICA Earrings! PICA is a jewellery line made right here in Ottawa, often incorporating gorgeous feathers into their designs. Each set of their earrings is one of a kind and at only $26 they can’t be beat!

Your Teenage Sister/Daughter/Niece: Teenagers can be tricky to shop for!
We Recommend: HUSH carries labels from stores like Forever 21, Aritzia and Lululemon. These items are sold at only a fraction of the original cost, so they are sure to put smiles on everyone's face this year! A professional stylist is at HUSH every Saturday and is always happy to give suggestions.

Still not able to decide? Get them the gift that is sure to fit any size or budget: a HUSH Gift Card!

Happy Shopping!!

Party season has arrived. The excitement, the anticipation, the stress, the anxiety! With so many great parties, dinners, brunches and cocktails there is so much to look forward to and so much fun to be had. The only wrinkle, what to wear!?!

It goes without saying that you have a shopping list and a shopping budget. And of course you have a closet full of clothes. Obviously wearing the same dresses from last year is not an option (thanks Facebook!). So what to do? Easy, bring your pieces to HUSH. That’s right! You loved it, you wore it and you looked spectacular. But this year, it just won’t do. Bring it to HUSH! Sell your pieces from last year to create a budget for this year! Collect all of your dresses, flirty skirts, dressy tops, and sexy heels. You know won’t wear them again so there is no sense it letting them take up valuable space in your closet. Put them to work earning you all new looks for this season!
