This year, for the first time, Ivko made natural linen knits. They are lacey and elegant and perfect for those super hot Summer days. You will feel like a very sexy woman wearing this little cami.
They come with super silky knit lining undergarments that could be used as a basic slips in the rest of your wardrobe. Bonus.
Nous allons mettre la collection Ivko printemps 2012 sur le plancher de la boutique vendredi 5 Avril à 11h.
We will be releasing the Ivko Spring 2012 collection onto the floor of the boutique Friday April 5th at 11AM.
This year browns and blues are strong for Fall.
Just forget about black.
Ignore it.
Look below and you will see why.
These Ivko sweaters and hoodies are both $199 at Boutique Katrin Leblond
This is Josiane Lacoste: client who dares!
She had this photo shoot done (and this is not her first) just for the fun of it; just because it makes her feel good.
She is wearing the green Bella dress ( I have one left in XL).

Picolinos shoes on sale $178
Black cerise dress with red dots $199
For those of you who do not know: These are scarfettes!
They were invented by me, but the adorable term “scarfette” was coined by my dear friend Nadine.
They are also called mini-scarves, hair ties and ribbon-ties by my clients.
Their purpose is multiple. They can simply be tied around your neck to add a little touch of class. They can be used as headbands or pony-tail ribbons. They can be tied onto a camisole at the strap on one side just above the bust adding a textile detail of colour. Their uses are multiple.
They cost $8 each
I have been working on this raincoat design for over a year.
It has a huge hood that can be rushed in two directions: around the face and down the centre back. This allows you to adjust for pouring rain, romantic strolls or pull it all the way back into a ruffle collar.
It has two buttons and a belt that ties around the waist. The coat is embellished in the centre back with appliqué and ribbons.
I made it in blue, green and black. There is a black denim version of the same coat for fall that is not waterproof. The coat is both feminine and functional. I promise it will protect you from the rain. It has a full skirt that give it a bit of a timeless vintage feel. I call it the Fairytale raincoat.
All colours $380 S-XL
available at the boutique or on etsy
Gypsy skirt 100% American made cotton, $189
Ahhhhhhhhh.
The Halo headbands. We have had them in our store now for a few months and thanks to Kate Duchess of Cambridge, they are a huge fashion item this Fall. Yes, you heard it, I said Fall. That is because all the Fall collections are starting to come into the store. I will be doing a huge delivery of new designs this week and we already have the B-line Fall collection selling out fast. That is not to say that you can’t still peruse our sale rack if you crave a last little treat. But, back to headbands….
Maybe you can’t imagine an occasion for one of these, but I can help with that. Are you going to a weeding? A pic-nik? A birthday party? Are you a waitress looking to get more tips? Do you have short hair that you are trying patiently to grow out? Are you cruising for a date on ladies night?
If you are a future bride, you should definitely come and see what we have to decorate your head. I also make veils and fascinators for weddings.
This last one is so classy and classic. It is lace decoupage and hand-sewn beads….so pretty and fancy. It would look amazing in black hair.
All available at Boutique Katrin Leblond right now.

Katrin Leblond, un arrêt printanier obligé
La belle Katrin m’a fait parvenir plusieurs de ses suggestions, mais j’ai retenu la robe « Princesse corail » que je trouve assez spectaculaire. Une robe 100% soie, pour 345$. Elle est merveilleuse non?
La boutique Katrin Leblond est un must absolut pour votre magasinage de robe de bal. Vous y trouverez un choix très inspirant de modèles, pour toutes les tailles et toutes les bourses, tant par la designer propriétaire que par les nombreux designers québécois qu’elle accueille dans sa boutique. Ne passez pas à côté des joyeux bibis fabriqués par Katrin elle-même, et les crinolines de fabrication locale qui pourront compléter plusieurs modèles de robe.
This cardigan is full of fine detail. Right down to the scalloped edge around the collar, it’s incredible detailed intartia and it’s exceptio0nally high quality 100% cotton yarn.
Petals Pop Cards are made by Montreal mom, Jackie Bassette. She plants, grows, presses and places each petal at her Montreal home near Jean Talon market.
Each card is blank inside leaving you free to pour your heart out in your own words to your friends.
Towers and pyramids of books pressing petals are all over Jackie’s home where she creates these fun and pretty cards. Send a creation from Jackie’s garden to one of your friends.
There is something really magical about popping this great big flower open in the middle of a rain shower. It instantly brings brightness to a gray day. I feel like I am offering a moment of surprise and wonder to the people around me when I pop mine open. I love the quality of the mechanisms: the smooth slide and satisfying pop as it snaps open. I love the feeling of the wooden handle and the scalloped edge finishing. I also love the price. At $37 dollars I think it is a steal for the numerous moments of fantasy it offers and for its fabulous halo of petals. Get yours at the store now! Quantities are limited and the demand is now.

This is a series of touching personal moments captured in the change rooms of my boutique. The mother and daughter were invited to come and try on clothes together. I love dressing mothers and daughters at the same time. Sisters are really fun too. The interactions that we get to witness are so beautiful and meaningful. It is the gift that our clients give to us.
These photos were taken by artist-photographer Marie Cornellier. She has a gift for getting people to show their most beautiful and touching selves.
This magical dress is the last of it’s kind. The production was a very small run. I think I only made six dresses. One of them was purchased as a wedding dress by a beautiful older woman getting married for the first time in her 50′s. Here is the last dress. If I remember well, it is a small….maybe a medium. If it is meant for you, here it is waiting in the shining spot light.

Vanessa recently returned from a life-changing trip to India. In her seven weeks there, she experienced sensory awareness on a whole new level. “I felt more alive than I ever had,” she said. Her feeling of being “home” was uncanny.

She’s been back since November, and is still processing what she learned on that trip. As part of that process, she has started making cards with the photographs she took in India. These stunning cards are now available for sale at the Boutique.

Her photographs are moving and joyous. They are full of colour and movement, humour and peace. The intensity of her emotions on that trip comes across strongly in her pictures. They are definitely worth a trip to the boutique to see first-hand. And are available for only $6.50 each. Give one to yourself or to someone you are thinking of.
Express your beauty as you are. Dance in your kitchen and sing to the stars.

Beautiful sandals from Israel are now at Boutique Katrin Leblond. The wonderful thing about these new sandals is how comfortable they feel on your feet. They are available in sizes 37 to 40 in black or bronze.
Beautiful amazing Anna. You will be a momma soon. You will be in love. You will be afraid. You will be powerful. You will be you. You are amazing Anna and you will be a great mom.
This is for you in anticipation of all the fun you will have rediscovering everyday things through the eyes of your child.
Your life is your most powerful art. See you at the boutique.

More bibis!
Our creative process has evolved a lot as our team has evolved. This is what our collection boards look like. We move the mini mock ups of the pieces we are designing around on the board and find our matching out fits and plan delivery to store dates so that when the items finally come to you they are ready to pop into your wardrobe as single items or even better as complete outfits.
These are mock ups of our March first delivery group. Lots of black and white accented with roses. Pops of garden green and lime with fuschia and hot pink and peachy rose. Playful pieces to prep you for a great summer ahead.
Your life is your most powerful art. See you at the boutique.
