Flipping through an issue of Harpers Bazaar yesterday, I came upon this lovely necklace by Oscar de la Renta for $280-

You can also find these two beauties at Stella & Dot right now ( I have the triple coin and LOVE it ) for $98, single strand and $138 for the triple. You could have a gorgeous statement piece plus have money left for.. well.. what else do you need for spring?!

day dreaming



after a not very good sleep night at my house last night, and the crazy coldness of our winter, this afternoon there is nothing I want to do more than snuggle up back in bed.. the top layer of my blanket coziness is my Swans Island Blanket.. sooo good :)

a little decor inspiration. How lovely is the soft muddle of yellow and grey? Crisp black and white will always be a fashion and decor favorite. Want to know how many striped pieces I've added to my spring wardrobe? Never mind, I don't want to tell ;) x

dressing a designer




Karla Amadatsu. Ahmazing Canadian designer. Most recently published in Style at Home. This girl and I are like two peas in a pod, her style is so me, and what I love. As a busy designer and mom who is non stop all day with meeting clients, over seeing installs on site, she needed some advice on what to wear... I was over the moon when she asked my input :) Head over to Kerrisdale Design blog to see what I came up with. I totally couldn't stop with one outfit. I'm all about versatility :)

neglectful

I have been a terrible blogger this past week.. so sorry! I had my laptop break, didn't have the patience to blog from my phone, AND had to get ready for my Stella & Dot launch trunk show. So that's done ( it was AWESOME! ) thank you to all who attended,and thanks to my sweet husband who bought me a new laptop today, I promise I'll be back around. x

I'm off visiting-

How fabulous is this entry? I love it! It belongs to Heather who blogs at My Many Moments. After I posted about my green Stella & Dot Camilla ring mixed with my Tiffany etoile band, she sent me a note saying she'd bought it! Love that! Heather asked me to put together a little post on S & D, and you can pop over to see it.. I've had a big OOOOH moment... x
( Woops.. It's not up yet! )

calling all Canadians!

We have such a fabulous network of blogging friends don't we?! Imagine if we used this amazing advantage we have to run a business. The support, encouragement and resources would be unmatchable.


I've just begun as a stylist with Stella & Dot. I am enamoured with this company and their vision. Today I will have the opportunity to meet Jessica Herrin. Not only is she the lady behind Stella & Dot, she founded weddingchannel.com as a school project. Wow. I am fully prepared to be inspired and motivated after my boot camp.. I can't wait actually.
I already work full time, but since becoming a mom 5 years ago, I need now to start being around other moms + ladies and have the opportunity to meet new friends. The great thing is you can put in as little or as much as you want. And we all believe in great style right.. there couldn't be a better fit.
Have a look at the site.. snoop around. I did. I loved what I saw, and the opportunities it presents. I would love to have a team of stylists across Canada join me, lets do this together. I would love to sponsor you and learn and work together! I think we'll be unstoppable. Questions.. just ask me. Think about it, we'll have so much fun! x

I've got something to say-


Bear with me.. I have to tell you something-
Do you have people in your life that don't understand why you blog? I realised something tonight, I've know it all along, but it became really clear to me tonight just how supportive you all are. You're the first to tell me to go for it, pat me on the back, and understand whatever nonsense I'm blabbing about. Wow.. I am so grateful to you. I'm not sure that I can put into words just how much that means.. I feel like I have a great big safety net, a hug, a friend, someone to stand up for me. I brag about you, trying to tell people just how cool it is to be a part of this... I have friends all over the world, most of you I will never meet, but I consider you family. So for that, thank you, all 815 of you. ( it was 816, but apparently someone doesn't like me anymore :(
kidding. well sort of.
x

and I am totally overwhelmed by the amount of you who have graciously given me the stylish blogger award.. THANK YOU.
