Triangles

Speaking of triangles, I am in love with these pieces from Jewiseha. A push present from my lovely husband, perhaps?

Statement

Two weekends ago, while shopping on Bloor Street in Toronto with my girlfriends, we embarked on a statement necklace hunt. My dearest Amy was searching for the perfect piece to complement a little black strapless cocktail number (p.s. love that idea and her style direction!). We happened upon a number of pieces of suitable jewelry, but none nearly as perfect as these necklaces by Elva Fields. I love chunky neck pieces and find it impossible to choose a favourite from amongst her wares. Delightful! All necklaces available here.

Bracelet

I've been thinking about wearing a bracelet on our wedding day. Normally I think of bracelets as a hindrance (namely because I spend a large portion of my day typing and the click clacking on my keyboard is twitch-inducing), so the idea of wearing a bracelet signifies luxury! These Anthropologie options are very swoon-worthy.

As an aside, here's my new blogging tune.

Links

Love! This golden butter necklace from J. Crew would coordinate perfectly with my uniform.

Anchors

Anchors are a great nautical complement to horizontal stripes. Here are some great jewelry options to pair with your favourite white and navy striped t-shirt. With these pretty things, it is sure to be smooth sailing ahead.

A double anchor link chain necklace from Spunk Sweet.

A silver nautical wheel locket complete with anchor, heart and cross from Birdz N Beez.

A white coin pearl and sterling silver anchor charm necklace from Sparking Soul.

Bibs

Last evening I received a birthday present from my dear friend Amy in the mail. Inside was a fun book of games for adult parties, and vibrant blue stationary cards and a matching notebook both emblazoned with my initial - K. Upon opening the present, I sat down to write a spring shopping list on the first page of the blue notebook. After some brainstorming and considering the clothes I already have in my own closet, I decided my spring wardrobe will consist of full, airy skirts, long v-neck cardigans, fitted tank tops and belts cinched at the waist. Flats or strappy sandals suit underfoot. This J Crew model is my muse.

As frosting for this spring/summer wardrobe, I'm loving bib necklaces. My love of chunky jewelry is being satisfied at every turn at retailers such as J Crew, Banana Republic, Club Monaco, Anthropologie, Jacob and French Connection.

Here are some of my favourite interpretations of the bib:

J Crew's Primrose Garden Necklace.

Banana Republic's Adjustable Beaded Necklace.

J Crew's Sunray Necklace.


Anthropologie's Garnish Necklace.

Girl Friday

I am loving this Melissa dress from Rebecca Nixon's Girl Friday.

I think this navy eyelet dress would go perfectly with this chunky necklace from Doloris Petunia. My mind is now running over the hosts of fun and fancy events that I'd like to wear this ensemble.

I own two Girl Friday dresses - one pink and one yellow. I love the colours and the fit of these Toronto designed numbers. They're perfect for attending weddings on hot summer days. See evidence below from a pre-wedding stroll in the West End of Vancouver last August.
