Summer

Sorry we haven’t blogged in a while! Summer is here and we have been enjoying every minute of it. The town of Jasper is full and the weather is spectacular!

We have been busy welcoming new arrivals and saying good-bye to old fav’s. Miss Me denim, Kenneth Cole footwear, and the much anticipated Canada Goose gear are the newest additions to Mountain Air Clothing. Also, we are having a sidewalk sale which includes premium denim, summery dresses and up to 60% off footwear. Hope to see you there!

P.S.  We did a photoshoot the other night; promise a preview soon!

Coloured denim

Everything is better in color-especially denim!  It’s nice to have options in your closet and wearing colored pants is easy.  Pick any color you desire then add a fun patterned top, or, if you prefer to be more subtle, a noble neutral will do the trick.

Colored jeans are made in various rises and shapes by many designers so you can find the perfect fit.  Here’s some of our favorite colors and labels.  And remember, whatever you choose, you have to love it!

30th Anniversary!

This month marks Mountain Air Clothing’s 30th year in business.  Since 1983, it has been a destination for the boutique shopping experience and fashionable clothing in the Rocky Mountains.

May 17th marked the day when the original owner opened Mountain Air’s doors. To mark this occasion, we had a party hosted by the current owner, Karen Jacobs, with appearances from our fabulous customers and staff.  It was  night of wine, shopping and socializing.  What’s not to love?

Dresses

Dresses are the new staple for spring.  They are a great way to use random accessories and other pieces.   There’s a plethora of patterns and styles to choose from.  We’ve got you covered!

Maxi dresses are a very versatile style.  Here’s the casual version; to make it formal, switch funky accessories to sparkly ones.

Lovely Layers

Now it’s the awkward time between winter and spring. One day the weather is sunny and the next it’s fridgid. You’re craving a new item to liven up you’re wardrobe but Mother Nature can’t make up her mind. The solution: layers!

It’s a great time to combine pieces you own with new ones. A down vest layered on a cozy sweater and a bright new scarf is ideal. Also, ditch warm winter boots for ones which are unlined and pair them with some fun socks. For men, trade the bulky jacket for a smart vest and layer with a hoodie. Superdry makes awesome ones!

Nail art is become one of the hottest trends.  Sparkles, sand, magnetic, and a plethora of other textures are on everyone’s nails.  Butter’s claim to fame it’s 3 Free: no formaldehyde, no toluene, no DBP. Also, each color has a cool, British inspired name like “Shag,” “Come To Bed Red” or “Gobsmacked.”  Why not stay in on cold night and give yourself a festive, carcinogen free manicure?
