When Jane from Poppy Barley emailed me about attending their Fall Launch event, I thought for sure she had made a mistake. I'm a full-time mom/photographer who lives in the middle of nowhere, I don't get invited to fashion launches! Soooo naturally, I quickly wrote back so that she couldn't change her mind lol!! But in all seriousness, I cannot tell you how happy I was to celebrate Poppy Barley's new store and their 2018 fall line-up. You see, Poppy Barley was my VERY FIRST responsible shoe purchase and it was scary because, as we all know by now, responsible fashion costs more. And spending money stresses me out friends. I usually have to mull over purchases for weeks to months, and in this case YEARS. Ya, that's right, it took me 2 whole years to finally purchase my ankle boots, and I have zero regrets. In fact, I went back the next year for a pair of mules!! To put it simply, I wear them All. The. Time. They are comfortable and seriously level-up my outfits!I really want to to say a huge thank to the Poppy Barley ladies for having me, and for putting on such an intimate event. I had so much fun hanging out with some of Edmonton's best humans! And you guys I brought home a pair of the leopard print flats (which was a prettty bold move for me)!! Eeee, I love them so much and cannot believe how many garments I can pair them with. I had to turn down the most comfortable pair of oxfords I've ever had my foot in, but I just love how this pair of D'orsay flats completely changes the look of my outfits. I swear, it's the shoe I didn't know I needed! If you haven't already, I can't encourage you enough to check out this Women-run Edmonton-based company, they are a dream. If you have any questions about my experiences with them and their shoes ask away below! I genuinely love chatting slow-fashion with y'all!
Warmly,
Karmen
PS. If you could have any pair of shoes from the Poppy Barley fall line, what would you get?!?
