Dear Readers,

We’d like to welcome you to the brand new Style Spy website. The Style Spy was started as a hobby back in ‘06. Since then, it’s evolved into the ultimate everyday girls guide to shopping. Our focus continues to be on you, showcasing the hottest in fashion and beauty and making sure our picks are do-able for the everyday girl. What’s special is that we are Canadian, so our picks are available across Canada, with a particular focus on Vancouver and now Toronto.

The new site features a host of new hot sections and a special Backstage Pass area. This VIP area will give you the inside access to loads of extra info - this week, we’ve got an exclusive discount at Dace, a sneak peek at H&M’s fall collection, a featured member profile (that could be you) and even a new active forum for sharing your own tips and shopping finds.

To celebrate the new launch, we’ll be giving away a prize every other day in our 31 Prize Giveaway. All you have to do is become a Backstage Pass member and you’ll be automatically entered to win. The first 25 people to sign-up for their Backstage Pass will also receive a free tee and beach bag courtesy of Mavi Jeans.

Thank you for always supporting The Style Spy. We know you will love this the new site. Pass it on to your friends! And we hope to see you back here every single day!

To celebrate the launch of the brand new Style Spy, we are having a 31 Backstage Pass Prize Giveaway throughout the months of August and September. Any Style Spy member (who holds a Backstage Pass) will be eligible for the 31 wicked prizes we have lined up. GET YOUR BACKSTAGE PASS NOW!

Vancouver-based Chulo Pony is one of Style Spy’s faves. The Madelaine Dress features a smocked waiste and shaped hem. The pretty ruby coloured dress makes an excellent dinner date outfit for that cute boy you just met at the checkout counter (that really happens, doesn’t it?)

Known for vibrant colours and signature tattoo graphics, Ed Hardy and fashion genius Christian Audigier are now tempting us with sizzling swimsuits - even celebs can’t resist tying one on. Bikinis are like shoes: you can never have too many. A two-day trip to Kelowna requires at least five, so what’s one more? This new swimwear line will be sure to turn heads on the surf and get the attention of the ultimate bad boy hottie. We won’t tell the parents! One-piece swimsuits start from $179 and two-piece from $159.

Available in Toronto at Bikini Village, Below the Belt, JCY House, Sole Swimwear, Black Line Studio Clothing, Dew Clothing and Royal Society. Available in Vancouver at Below the Belt, Deadly Sin and X-10-sion.

Bring this season’s pastel trend right to your fingertips with Nic’s Sticks ($10) by OPI. Fashionistas on the move love these pen-like polishes because they go on easy and dry super fast—shake, pump, paint and go! With 24 shades to choose from, all with catchy names like ‘Baby Go Bye-Bye’ (a baby blue like the one seen in Chanel’s Spring line), ‘Cram For An Exam’ (hot pink) and ‘Form One Lime’ (lime green), you’ll be sure to find a colour that jazzes up your summer dress or sassy two-piece. Toss in your purse for touch-ups. Available at Shoppers and Wal-Mart
