an i want and i got..

I’ve been feeling the ring love recently. I have a rather long history of not wearing rings. It all stems from high school when I lost one that was very important to me. Recently a good friend of mine bought we this wicked ring with a blue hummingbird on it. I loved it and of course I lost it. However, I haven’t given up and I recently picked up two costume jewelery rings. Refinery29 recently linked to Melissa Joy Manning whose jewelery is breathtaking and available in Toronto! She also runs a ethical business out of L.A. which makes these designs so much more sweet. Geology nerds are probably salivating over some of these designs.

Miranda cuff by Whitelotus Design Edina Racz is a successful Toronto jewelery designer. She has been on my posting radar for a while, but it’s just been one of those things I haven’t gotten to yet. She helped me along by emailing me about her designs. I love the colours in this bracelet, perfect for the upcoming warm weather. Edina makes them in different colours using different materials. Semiprecious gemstones and metals, silver and Swarovski crystals are the ingredients of Whitelotus jewelery.

I love the new spring 2007 coats at Club Monaco. First they came in black and khaki with wide cropped sleeves. They look amazing on the mannequin. Then I spotted the slicker version. Grey patent, this would be a standout coat. Unfortunately, I realized that I couldn’t pull it off. I put this coat on and it looked like a big plastic bag wrapped around me. Sigh, no patent jackets for me. 🙁 The black one was okay, but looked much better on the mannequin.

My Marc Jacobs cape is on sale at Holt’s

I wrote about wanting this Marc Jacobs cape in the fall. I happened to see a few of them at Holt Renfrew yesterday on sale. It looks like they didn’t sell to well because there were few left over. They even had one in my size, sigh. It was still not cheap enough for me to buy it.

My mission on Boxing Day was to get some cheap Hunter Wellys. Some stores discounted them a little bit like TNT, Over the Rainbow, Aritiza and Capezio. Heel Boy didn’t even put them on sale and they aren’t part of the 2 for 1 sale they are having right now. I almost bought them from Heel Boy until I found out they weren’t part of the sale. I decided to wait it out and I’m glad I did because Over the Rainbow brought out the big guns, 50% off. The last pair in blue were a 38; it was like they were waiting for me. So, if you are looking for Hunter Wellingtons on the cheap, hit up Over the Rainbow. They had a bunch of green ones left and some of another style, The Hunter Lady N. Get them while they last. There is also a lot of other stuff on sale tshirts, tons of denim and sweaters. If anyone is looking for a full length Triple Five Soul jacket they should go very …
