Last Saturday, Edmonton's newest boutique was buzzing with energy while fashionable fans of Oak + Fort celebrated its opening. Us bloggers had been counting down the days for this fete, and it didn't disappoint! The racks were hanging with beautiful garments in lace, silk and the sheerest of cottons and guests were in high spirits. The wine, awesome Asian beer selection and sinfully delicious treats from Duchess Bake Shop didn't hurt either. Oak + Fort was truly welcomed to Whyte Avenue with open arms!Read my previous posts about this fabulous shop here and here.

Special thanks to Andrew from High Gloss White for letting me borrow his camera for these photos.... mine died about three minutes after I arrived. Sigh.

you should try to apply for a blogger/media pass ASAP.
This store looks phenomenal. Growing up in northern AB I used to shop in Edmonton a lot. After living in Calgary for a few years I seem to have almost forgotten the charm of Whyte Ave. Thanks for reminding me and giving me a reason to road trip!
ReplyDelete@Natalie, thanks so much for the comment! And yes, Oak + Fort is such a stunning store! Please visit it next time you're in Edmonton!!
