We had the privilege of meeting Nikkie this past winter. Nikkie is so much fun, every time she comes by the shop she just lights it right up and we all end up laughing and sharing stories. I was lucky enough that she agreed to let me take pictures of her for fun, and here is what we did together on a lazy Sunday morning.
Nikkie is wearing: United Bamboo Cropped Jacket / Acne Jeans / Saint James beret / Equipment Blouse / Will Leather Goods Bag
Yoshi Kondo Green Jacket / American Colors Clothing Boyfriend Shirt
Southern Field Industries Back Pack / United Bamboo Top
American Colors Boyfriend Shirt
Yoshi Kondo Doll Polka Dot Cardigan
Yoshi Kondo Dog Polka Dot Vest
Yoshi Kondo Jun Cape Coat / Acne Jeans / Will Leather Goods Tote Bag / Paraboot Avoriaz Mountaineering boot
Thank you so much Nikkie for indulging me, and playing dress up with me!

“One must always have one’s boots on and be ready to go.”
Michel de Montaigne
I feel the same way as Mr. de Montaigne, and since we live in beautiful and rainy Vancouver BC it would probably make sense that those boots that we have on are made of the finest rubber, and that’s exactly what we have for you at Lark right now with Aigle!
The Miss. Juliette Boot ($155) is a sleek rubber boot made with 100% rubber which will never dry out and crack on you.
The Miss. Juliette Tall Boot ($165) is made of the same grade of rubber as its shorter sister but offers your leg a bit more protection for the buckets of water that gets poured on us on the West Coast!
Both of these styles are made for women and I’m sure the boys out there are wondering how they can keep their feet dry…
Last fall Aigle partnered up with, none other, than the famed Harris Tweed Mills in Scotland and produced a very limited number of Harris Tweed Rubber Boots ($395). Available in Berry (shown) or Marine. These boots are made from 100% rubber and will keep your feet dry walking through the city or on damp trails or in the garden. Wherever really! Need more…
…Ok. Everyone likes a good deal.
So you know that Aigle makes some of the world’s most versatile and sturdy rubber boots and you know that Aigle teamed up with Harris Tweed to produce some iconic rubber and tweed boots but they also made a limited number of wool parkas($785) and waistcoats($568).
Both are available in store and online and if you should decide to pick up your timeless and warm outerwear Lark will give you a pair of the Harris Tweed Aigle Rubber Boots for Free! It’s a deal that will keep you warm and dry for years and years to come. So hurry on into Lark because this deal will only last as long as stock is available!
Now get out into that rain people!

Last fall Prevail asked me to take a small part in a new project he was working on. How could I say anything except yes? He has just launched a website best described as A Guide to the Good Life.
If you’re Canadian and don’t already know who Prevail is hand in your passport, you’re going to have to earn it back. Prevail is an emcee in the Swollen Members. Founded in 1994 it’s fair to say that they had a massive impact on Canadian hip hop and music in general.
Prevail either never sleeps or has found a few extra hours in the day because his lifestyle site Prevail Prevail is a solid guide to good things you want to take part in. He is one of the best interviewers I’ve had the chance to talk to. He makes you feel super comfortable and his questions are full of depth and breadth.
Thank you Prevail and your team, it was such a pleasure to meet you, and a real honour to be interviewed by you!
It’s been an amazing year at Lark, and we have you, our customers, and friends to thank for it.
Last year was a roller coaster ride for us at Lark. We saw some staff off onto new adventures and welcomed new staff into the ever growing Lark family.
Thank you Clayton and Genevieve for joining us on this wild and crazy ride called Lark. We also want to thank Mike McGinn for taking on some of the heavy lifting at the shop. You wont see him on the sales floor, he works in the back office keeping things running smoothly.
Hunter has been making new friends every day. You’ll notice she greets everyone and then finds a nice place to rest, she knows how to do her job. This year she turned 4!
We are so grateful to the Adler family of Will Leather Goods, who helped us create a Will Leather Goods shop in Lark.
Nigel of The Cascade Group and Dean from We Are Local teamed up with Dane and Victoria to raise heaps of money for InspireHealth. You might recall that in 2011 we got together with Sook-Yin Lee for InspireHealth.
We are so thankful to Amanda from Blue Owl Home Boutique, who created a whole new interior look for Lark this past fall.
Brad MacNiel hosted a live talk show in the shop, we’re hoping to have him back in 2013.
Darian who invited us to take part in Gentlemens reserve hosted at The Old Faithful Shop where we were introduced to Keiko and Manabu from Southern Field Industries .
We also had guest mannequin stylists come in and create their own looks. Check out Michelle + Toby, Cesar, Brian, Theron, Sarah & Demi Couture.
Victory Gardens who created a veggie market and swap in Lark for a day.
We would also like to thank Naomi McDougall for helping us convey the Lark story, and also Melita Peric for some fantastic graphics.
This year we have some really exciting creative projects in the works. We’ve also got some new brands coming in that will be a slight departure from what you’d expect of Lark.
Thank you so much everyone who has shopped Lark over the years. Going forward we are excited to shake things up and get you excited about your wardrobe. Clothing might be a necessity, but we are here to help you make it fun and also meaningful.

Dane & Veronika
We’ve taken down our tree and now we need to dispose of it, here’s how we do it.
Every year Dane works the tree chipping event which raises money for the Mount Pleasant Elementary School so the kids can have some fun.
Bring your tree by the Kingsgate mall, give the nice people a little bit of money and your Christmas tree is out of your way until next year.
