La Senza Girl offers all the fashion that La Senza has always been known for, but focuses on girls aged 8 - 1 4 . This age group, known as "tweens", is becoming more and more influential in the fashion market today. The store in Oakville Place is one of the first La Senza Girl stores that will cater to tweens, giving them all the latest styles and trends that they're looking for. The first store, in the Toronto Eaton Centre, already opened to rave reviews this past April. La Senza Girl will sell an exclusive range of branded fashion apparel, including activewear, sleepwear, underwear, shoes, accessories and cos­ metics. These collections are put together by the La Senza Girl design team, which takes its inspiration from the current fashions of Europe and North America. This can be seen in the merchandise in the store, with looks like "Pink Passion", "G.I. Girl" and "Hawaiian Punch". Even the atmosphere in the store reflects La Senza Girl's stylish nature. The store's design is sophisticated yet whimsical, combining futuristic plat­ inum fixtures with original props like lit gummy bears. La Senza Girl also prides them­ selves on their high quality customer service. Their team of fashion consul­ tants are available to give each client the quality customer service they need. La Senza Girl promises to be not just a store, but a unique shopping experience for girls. Drop by La Senza Girl on the upper level in Oakville Place, towards Sears.

COLOUR & STYLE Cool refreshing sorbet colours are prevalent throughout fashion and home d>cor items from coats to candles, and everything in between. If pastels don't do it for you, try cargo neutrals mixed with a flash of red. Certain details are back from last season such as hood­ ed tops (and even dresses!), drawstrings - not just used for waists, but also seen on hems, and cargo, kangaroo or util­ ity pockets can be found on pants, shorts skirts, and vests. Audrey Hepburn-inspired fashions are everywhere. The icon of elegance- or modern-day look-alikes seem to be in every magazine, modeling the romantic simple styles that she made famous. Capri pants, sleeveless shells, satin fab­ rics, three-quarter-sleeve shirts and demure shift dresses, some with matching jackets. (Denise & Company, Le Chateau, Banana Republic, Holt Renfrew) Catch the Millennium bug for globetrotting. Travel and adventure influences are everywhere in fashion this sea­ son. Stretch and crinkle cotton fabrics are great for Y2K trekking, as are pockets, pockets, pockets...for storage and security, seen on everything from vests, shirts and pants, and even small pockets in hats. (Banana Republic, Club Monaco) Asian-influenced accessories for fashion and home decor make a comeback this season. Beautiful beaded mesh bags, beaded cuffs, Venetian glass jewellery, bam­ boo-leaf motif dresses and face jewellery - tiny butterflies or dots that dazzle for evening reverie - as well as geisha- style shoes adorned with embroidery and rhinestones are key items of interest for fashion devotees. (Town Shoes, Jacob, Holt Renfew) On the home front, Sherway Gardens offers embellished lacquer boxes and dim sum dishes in beautiful glazed colours. (Treasures, Bombay Company, Bowrings) 70's - They're back, but they're better! From crocheted sweaters and hot pants, to fishnet stockings, the 70's styles never looked so good. Look for beaded chokers, malibu bikinis, flower-power surfer shorts and tees, and the op-art butterfly bag. (Sporting Life) Pastels mixed with linen naturals like classic khaki pants worn with a pale knit twin-set, all in soft as butter cotton, for casual and feminine comfort dressing. Natural (Machine washable!) linens and linen blends in soft neu­ trals and classic colours are also back this season, worn with denim for an easy summer look. (Eddie Bauer) THE LATEST OF THE GREATEST The new "Millennium bra" is slinky, sexy and sophisti­ cated with innovative minimalist styling. The seam-free shimmery bra is made of Tactel Diablo fabric with 30 per cent spandex for stretch and comfort; it debuts in four colours - black, ivory, lilac and futuristic silver. (La Senza) "Sculpted heel" or "Museum heel" shoes. Angular heels are everywhere - on lady-like slides and even chunki­ er casual styles. (Town Shoes, Browns) MP3 format "Rio" players are a hit this season. Download almost any music track off the Internet with this new gizmo that is sure to appeal to the Y2K techno-con­ noisseur. (Compucentre) Fishnets are here in the hot colours of the season - lavender, ice blue, and pink along with a more demure ivory and sexy black. (Legs Beautiful) Easy riding bikes (such as the Specialized Globe A l) with "plush suspension" built into seat posts and handle bar stem, that takes the edge off annoying potholes. (Sporting Life) The "bucket hat." Think Gilligan of the show named after this kooky character and his island. A funky accesso­ ry for summer casual dressing. (Club Monaco, Sporting Life, Le Chateau) SEWING MACHINE STORE REPAIRS TO SINGER and all other makes & models [EXPERT PINKING SHEARS] & SCISSOR SHARPENING 198 SPEERS RD. 842-2033 Inside Oakville Vacuum Simply fabulous summer fashions (MS) -- Casual.
