any of us can barely make it through the morning without first downing a cup of hot coffee. It has become such a big part of our daily rituals. The sweet aroma of baked goods and lattes welcomes you with open arms at many local coffee shops - the perfect way to kick off a day of strolling and shopping in downtown Chilliwack.
CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY
With Spring in full bloom, searching out the perfect attire for a new wardrobe is no easy task to conquer.
SATURDAY, APRIL 18 TH
UNSURE ABOUT WHAT COLOUR OF DRESS TO PURCHASE, WHAT STYLE WILL FLATTER YOUR FIGURE, OR WHETHER YOU SHOULD GO WITH A LONG, FLOWING MAXI OR A SHORT AND FLIRTY ENSEMBLE? Chilliwack has a very unique selection of boutiques that have got you covered on all the latest styles, whether you need an outfit for a fancy or casual affair. It appears the ‘70s fashion trend is coming right back this season in full swing. Downtown has the right destinations to help piece together a jaw-dropping outfit. Think fringe, suede, wide leg jeans, wedges, high collared blouses and funky aviator sunglasses. While this 70s trend seems to be tailored to those with a bohemian flair, don’t be afraid to try it out. Be bold with a flashy metallic skirt that can be paired nicely with a printed top or a sheer blouse. For a more effortlessly chic look, throw on a floral kimono with a basic tee, skinny jeans and red pointed toe flats.
the hottest shoe trends that will make you look and feel fabulous. You can find all the latest styles of edgy and funky footwear close to home in downtown Chilliwack. Lace-up sandals and heels make a great statement this spring. Keep it simple with sandals that tie to the ankle, or be bold with heels that tie to the knee.
