First I would like to thank my friend Adam for the reminder not to forget about my blog. I've been neglectful. Second, for my lame excuse of being to busy with work and school. Not good enough.
It's such a great time of year for dressing. You can lighten and add some colour to your life. And most importantly all those peep toe pumps, dainty sandals, sky high wedges can come out and make an appearance.
I bought a beautiful organic cotton scarf from H&M. I decided to use that as my inspiration for my spring/summer 09 wardrobe. Building from the pretty muted pink, blues and purples I found some candy coloured beads at a fantastic bead shop on Denman Street called Kimdoly. I made two chunky necklaces and a pair of rose bud coral earrings. The light green coloured stone is Howlite Turquoise, and the yellow stone is Candy Jade. The earring are little carved pieces of coral. So much fun to wear!
It seems I'm finding a lot of jewllery I just can't resist. I'm really into pretty post earrings like the old vintage clip on style. On a recent trip to one of my favorite vintage stores in Gastown Woo Vintage I came across this gorgeous clip on earring and brooch set. I have to admit the earrings are a little uncomfortable to wear but apparently you can buy plastic cushions. I also found this great over sized ring in the gold and coral at the Bay. I was surprised to discover the Bay downtown has an estate jewllery counter with tons of amazing vintage and retro jewllery including designers like Dior and Escada. Maybe one day some Chanel will show up!
