Red pants, a blond bun, tons of jewellery, a faux fur shawl, red lips and gorgeous frames make for a lovely outfit. Seen on Atlantic-Pacific.

The new collection by Charlotte Hosten, Montreal jewellery-designer extraordinaire, has hit stores. Called Tea at Rosemary’s, the collection is meant to evoke “a ladies get together on a warm summer day in the lovely garden of their friend. Porcelain cups, women’s secrets and dreams, travel memories, carnations and daisies bouquets – true friendships between inspiring women.”

Doesn’t that description make you so happy? And the creations are such eye candy, so beautifully assembled from a lovely mix of materials.  ♥

Some Can-lit for you today. Pasha Malla is the young-ish author who penned The Withdrawal Method, a well-written collection of short stories that spans a wide variety of narrators and plot lines. In all honesty, while the stories were interesting and original, the book left me feeling a bit melancholy. It was all tinged with sadness. So while I loved the electric blue cover of this book, I don’t think it does justice to its moody contents. All the more reason not to judge a book by its cover.

It all started with the Marc by Marc Jacobs dress at top right. It’s made of silk and I can picture the swoosh of it and how fun it is to wear. But mostly it’s the colours that have me gaga. And then I FLIPPED OUT at the Kate Spade bag and flats. How FUN is the mix of linen and bright patent leather? And then I went nuts clicking around the web for the most colourful, cutest pieces I could find. And this my friends is the result. It makes me happy and it makes me excited for SPRING!
