Haramaki, get your belly warmers

Published by

Reader submissions are a beautiful thing. I thank reader JP from blogUT.ca for this little fashion nugget from Japan, Haramaki. Haramaki translates to belly warmer. Traditionally used for abdominal health purposes they are quickly becoming a fashion trend. After my initial WTF reaction to the Haramaki, I’m starting to really like them. The prints are great and they are perfect for layering. I love the look in the picture posted above and that is what sold me on the Haramaki. Pingmag.jp has more pictures of Haramaki style that you should check out. I wonder how long it will take this trend to make it over to the West. images: pingmag.jp

Pumpkin Spice necklace by Modish I love the use of the blackberry motive in this design. I’ve seen it in other designers and it gets me everytime. It makes me happy when people email me tips. I got an email from Liz Yeung, one half of the Modish duo. She asked me to take a look at their jewelry designs and I liked what I saw. Each piece is hand-crafted and uses a combination of semi-precious stones, glass beads and pearls, all imbued with silver or gold. This Vancouver based team have found their products available in stores across Canada and the US. A very simple necklace but the stones make this necklace gorgeous. Modish is available in Toronto at Out on a Limb 1755 Avenue Road (416) 785-5592 For those of you not in the Tdot, you can order online.

Ankle boot by Gwendolyn Carrié I’m a big fan of the menswear trend and when I saw these ankle boots I immediately thought of a crisp white shirt, suspenders and black tailored pants. I great top hat and a cane would be fun too. 😀 Of course, there are no retailers in Canada. images: gwendolyncarrie.com, johnhelmer.com

Owl cocktail ring by Karen Walker Jewelery I’m not a big ring person but I’m in love with this Owl Cocktail Ring. It’s available in different metals like sterling silver (my favourite), white gold and yellow gold. Karen is definitely working the animal jewelry trend. In addition to owls she also uses lions. I really like the Lion head pendant. The product shots on her website are really innovative. I love the use of animals. I’m pretty sure the lobster was probably dead before shooting this but I’m not sure about the others.

Guillaume Hinfray shoes I fell in love with these shoes at George C in Yorkville. I love the box toe of the latest crop of hot ballerina shoes to come out this season. They were 50% off when I saw them as it was during their boxing day sales. If you are lucky you might be able to pick some up. I bought myself a cheap and dirty pair at Winners. They are burgundy fake velvet upper. image: guillaumehinfray.com

My most active commenter “wondering” got me thinking about Frye boots again after this post, so I decided to see what was new on the site. I hit the shoe motherload. Frye definitely makes some of the hottest boots ever, I’m drooling. Riding Back Zip Riding boots of my dreams, they would be perfect in all black Dorado Low

Anna Sui Antique effect boots I’ve been pinning over blue boots for the last few years. Last year I was hoping to score these blue Frye boots. They were half off and not in my size. I saw these Anna Sui boots and fell in love. The detailing is amazing.

Met Sandal by Devi Kroell It’s taken awhile but I finally have an appreciation for the metallic accessories. I love these metallic python sandals from Devi Kroell which are available at Zola Shoes in Toronto. image: devikroell.com and zolashoes.com
