I recently had the wonderful pleasure to work with a label I came to adore – Femme De Rose, created by the talented designer, Aloye Adede, who first founded it’s sister label Eyola.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was filled with Christmas shopping, brunching with friends, and catching up on endless episodes of Revenge! All this gift shopping had me putting together a little wishlist of my own… I am absolutely in love with ONA’s The Palma Camera Bag when I first saw it here.

I am a huge advocate of infographics. I create tons of them at work to display numbers and statistics in a meaningful way but yet visually appealing to the eye. Because let’s face it, numbers and data can be pretty tiresome especially when you’re starring at them all day long. I’ve become quite accustomed to thinking visually with numbers and therefore decided to create a Year In Review infographic for the boyfriend and I to include with our holiday gifts soon to be wrapped and out of our tiny condo. I had so much fun creating this, the best part was recapping the great moments and including a few fun facts. After all, the holidays are about spending time with your loved ones and getting personal!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend! I’ve so far had a very productive one, got lots of work done and finally made it back to the yoga studio after a whole month of procrastination, now I just have to keep it up.

In my last two DIY Holiday Gift Guide posts (here and here), I made some suggestions on jewelry gift giving and their respective DIY options. Today, I’d like to share this great gift idea with you. Ever since the infamous Burberry Owl sweater was seen on Kate Bosworth, I had my heart set on picking up my very on Intarsia Animal Sweater. I was so excited to find the Old Navy sheep version (on sale for $20.00 online) I’m sporting above and managed to kick it up a notch by adding the sheep’s favourite saying – bah! I had so much fun with this DIY.

Dress for the Moon! This week’s edition of Style Eh? features Canadian fashion label, MOON Apparel created by the designing Mimran family and Canadian design icon Alfred Sung. MOON was originally launched in 2010 at The Bay and in August 2012, they officially launched their online shopping site – Start Shopping Now!.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope your work day has gone by quickly today so that you can get an early kick start to your weekend. What do you have planned this weekend?

In my last DIY Holiday Gift Guide Post, I suggested giving a Statement Necklace as a holiday gift to that special friend. Today, what about considering a Stackable Bracelet as an option? I love stacking bracelets (with my watches too!). I’ve handpicked a few of my favourites below at different price points and also made a  DIY version for you try!

I am absolutely in love with Shourouk’s Jewelry Collection, it is to die for. I adore the use of large Swarovski crystal pieces, coupled with chains and ropes to create the best balance of playful, vintage, yet contemporary looks. My favourite masterpieces include this, this, and this. So I decided to try my own pair of rope crystal earrings. Let me know what you think.

Here is my weekly feature of Style Eh?. Sorry I’m a tad late as I was enjoying the sunny weather in San Francisco the last few days, it was an amazing trip out to the coast! Back to this week’s feature – I’d like to pay tribute to Canadian founded affordable clothing brand – Garage Clothing. I really like the casual style Garage Clothing brings at great price points. Though Garage Clothing offers casual wear, however paired with a great pair of heels or the right amount of accessories, it brings together casual and glam pieces.

This week’s Style Eh? features one of my favourite brands founded in Toronto, Canada – Club Monaco, now an internationally known. They offer style, luxury, and materials feels like heaven to the skin. I absolutely adore Club Monaco’s style that is both classic and modern. I will honestly say, I will wear everything single item they carry. The brand focuses on key pieces for each season, best suited to mix and match to create your own unique looks. I’ve picked some of my favourites below. Fur lined, leather piping, burgundy hues, and snake skin, oh my!
