Loyal Fan

Posted by Rachel, Style Intern

You might recognize the name Loyal Loot from the rustic log bowls featured in our November/December gift guide. (Oh, Dad'll love them? Well, no need to thank us.) In addition to earthy yet industrial collectibles, I discovered that the Loyal Loot gals (a collective of Canadian women) have designed a clothing line -- and I'm working on smuggling their Canuck chic across the border. Their collection is full of cool, reservedly sexy pieces that gain an edge when worn layered. My personal favorite, the “Ruffle Bum Belt” is the cutest cross between a bustle and a cummerbund, depending on which way it's worn.

The “Party Frock,” which is shown layered over a heathered three-quarter sleeve top on the website, would be my perfect go-to dress for holiday parties.

The fuzzy knitted “Suspend Sweater Dress” looks cozy yet presentable -- just right for layering with a turtleneck and jeans for work.

There’s nothing on the website that I don’t love. Unfortunately for us American girls, Alberta’s the only place you can find this loot in stores. But not to worry, just shoot them an e-mail and they’ll hook you right up.

Is there anything you've got your eye on to wear this fall?

hot. and canadian. which i like, because i am canadian.

(you would not believe the fun hoops i get to jump through trying to order from places like anthropologie, sigh)

although i don't think i need anything adding to the volume of my considerable posterior (that is to say, i've got a big bum) the ruffle bum belt is completely adorable, and i officially covet it.
