Be Back Soon

Caroline — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 20:35:27 +0000

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be taking a break from the blog in the next week. Be back on the week of August 2!

Some great sites to tide you over:

Animags

I admit they’re total knick-knacks. But I kind of like these magnet photo stands anyway!

Ethereal Noemiah

Caroline — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 10:14:29 +0000

When I got every single piece of jewellery I owned stolen, I was devastated. But secretly, I was sort of happy I had full permission to spend myself silly on some new pieces. Enter Noemiah, whose earrings got me the most compliments of everything I was newly wearing. Created by Montrealer Noémie Vaillancourt, Noemiah jewellery is delicate and almost ethereal. I was especially taken aback and enamoured by her newest pieces, which are the large feather statement necklaces pictured below. Swoon! Check out Noemiah, you won’t regret it.

Raving About: Billie Boutique Online

Caroline — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:08:31 +0000

I love how Billie Boutique – located just a stone’s throw from my home – is featuring local Montreal fashion bloggers on their website and blog. Each blogger put together an outfit from Billie’s selection and posed for a photo shoot – the results of which are stunning! Every week, a new blogger is featured. This week has Camille Dg from Les Bachelières front and centre and last week it was Cindy Laverdière from Mod Trotter Blog. You can read up on all the details of each blogger’s style and picks on the fabulous Billie blog. I love the local flavour Billie has brought to their web presence!

On One-Piece Swimwear

Caroline — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:21:45 +0000

I love a one-piece swimsuit that isn’t totally prudish. I used to be competitive swimmer and Speedo was my domain; but now I don’t need such practical swimwear. Enter Zimmermann and their sexy cuts! Sometimes it’s a nice variety from two pieces, no? (I also really like We are Handsome, which I wrote about a while back.)

Sixagon Side Table

The Sixagon side table made by Misewell (available on Horne) is made of steel in the USA. I love how it combines an industrial aesthetic with bright colours!

Lundi Lunettes: Preppy Biker

I think Paul Frank makes pretty snappy specs, don’t you? I like this girl’s preppy biker look.

Grandfather Clock Wall Stickers

I love these wall stickers found on Red. What a cute way to display a clock!

Mouse and Bean

Glasgow-based Mouse and Bean has created some sweet cushions with some old school-style prints and patterns. Almost as cool as the cushions’ designs is how they’re made: they’re eco-friendly and ethically produced, as they’re printed on organic textiles with water-based inks. Pretty sweet.

High-Top Gladiators

Fashion model Jill Bauwens sports these amazing Chanel gladiator sandals. Below, Betty from Le Blog de Betty wears similarly high gladiators by Topshop.

What do you think of super high gladiator sandals? I LOVE them!
