i want: Night City Scarf by Gillian Rode

A Night City Scarf by Gillian Rode The fabric is brass that has been enameled and it’s unbelievably flexible and fluid and will last a lifetime. It is not rigid and moves just like fabric. Each hexagon is 1/8″ in diameter and they are machine linked together. Yay, more local goodies. This time we have Toronto resident Gillian Rode. I do believe that someone wore the Night City Scarf at the Buy Design for Windfall photoshoot last weekend. Can you spot it? It looks like the model from the above shots. Available in Toronto at: Anti-Hero 113 Yorkville Ave D’Lightful 202 Augusta Ave Fawn 967 Queen West unit 121 Georgie Bolesworth / Model Citizen 913 Dundas St. W The Pink Heart 482 Eglington Ave Ukula 492 College St. For you non-local types, you can make your purchases via etsy.

i got: Goffredo Fantini boots

Goffredo Fantini boots Since the beginning of the fall I’ve been obsessed with finding a knee high pair of flat, black boots. I looked all over, most of the perfect boots I saw were out of my price range (damn you Prada). Others were just plain ugly.

They aren’t quite flat, but the hardware on the shaft of the boot is killer.

i want: Madame Fortuna Jewellery

Madame Fortuna jewelry These two necklaces feature hand blown glass with a peacock feature and a rose inside them. Inspired by Victorian mourning jewelry and their fascination with the “object” I have created a modern version. Each RELIC consists of an approximately 1″ handblown glass globe on a 24″ gold fill chain with a spring ring clasp. The Peacock feather is the essence of art nouveau and especially timely now with the resurgence of popularity of Paul Poiret, the brilliant designer who outfitted Josephine Baker among many others. Inspired by Victorian mourning jewelry and their fascination with the “object” I have created a modern version. Each RELIC consists of an approximately 1″ handblown glass globe on a 24″ gold fill chain with a spring ring clasp. This particular necklace features an antique petit point rose. The workmanship of this rose is exquisite, a window into the past and a sample of the love that went into craft. I’ve left the globe empty in the back so that you can see “behind the scenes” the way …
