Two local ladies are mixing it up this weekend in Wellington Village! Laura Twiss and Tonia Weber handcraft women’s ready-to-wear pieces and from March 21-24 they are showcasing their creations at a transformed “pop up shop” located at 1304 Wellington Street West.

Laura and Tonia pride themselves on creating unique clothes that are stylish, modern and flattering for women of all shapes and sizes. Their inspiration comes from their favourite musicians, fashion icons and childhood friends. To them, great fashion doesn’t have to be complicated. I couldn’t agree more! Another super-cool thing: they offer sewing lessons at their permanent boutique, located at 177 Armstrong Street in Hintonburg.

Happy Shopping!

coming soon in ottawa, elmdale oyster house & tavern, Hintonburg, new businesses, ottawa shops, richard's hintonburg kitchen, slaysh, West Wellington, westboro

Here are some exciting new businesses opening in the area this spring. Some are actually already opened:

Byward Market News and Toy Soldier Market

Couldn’t find any information for them online, but I’ve been wanting a news shop since the one that used to be next to the Herb and Spice shut down, more so since Collective Works is now gone. Looking forward to this great addition!

Elmdale Oyster House & Tavern

I will be eating lots of oysters here…Here is a more extensive look at the work they’ve been doing, click here. Also you can follow their twitter for updates.

Again, no info online. I wonder if their proximity to the Rexall will be an issue.

Slaysh, fashion:

They are moving from their Bank street location to Wellington West! Should be a great addition.

Richard’s Hintonburg Kitchen

Juniper’s Richard Nigro is opening this great looking grab and go cafe/kitchen. All I can say is…yum!

Did I miss anything? What are you excited about? I’ll be home April 16th to check out all these great places in person!!

New business: illume espresso bar

Coffee, illume espresso bar, new business, Ottawa, West Wellington

The anticipation is over, a new locally owned espresso bar, illume, opened its doors today. Located right across from the Metro, on the ground floor of the new condo building, illume is a great, cozy alternative to the Bridgehead further down the street. We had vanilla lattes, presented beautifully, which tasted amazing. While I am a die hard Bridgehead fan, I think illume is well situated (not too close to any other coffee shops) and offers a product that is unique and different. I look forward to returning!
