Wrist of Glitz

This stunning costume piece was given to my mother from her very fashionable aunt.  It dates back to the 1940’s when glitz jewellery was really popular and is made up of round and emerald cut rhinestones.  Luckily for my mom, the bracelet is too big on me so she doesn’t need to worry about it being borrowed for an extended amount of time once I move.

During my photography class, the charming Mario Szabo, asked to take my picture.  He has a wonderful blog that captures Victoria’s street fashion and I was lucky enough to meet him just days before I move.  I snatched the pictures from him but you can view the rest of his blog here.

Renewed Bliss

My already lovely work, Bliss Boutique, got a make-over!  As if it isn’t already hard enough to leave, I am now going to have to tear myself away from this beautiful space.  Since I don’t want to spoil the surprise of the complete renovation, here are a few of my favourite details.

Two-Toned Teal

I came across this idea on Pinterest (of course) and it was a really simple way to get my nails ready for tonight’s Fashion Swap.  All you need is two different kinds of nail polish (I chose teal and my matte), masking tape and craft scissors. Super straight forward and I was finished in less than a half an hour.

Happy Happenings

{cinnamon cupcakes- my boyfriends favourite}

So far, this week has gotten off to a great start!  My boyfriend and I spent the day visiting a few thrift stores in hopes of finding some things to put in our new apartment.  It was a relaxing start to my rather hectic week.  Tomorrow I am working the Fashion Swap, followed by the grand opening of our newly redecorated store on Wednesday, then I have a photography class on Saturday and we are hopefully ending the week off with a ski trip on Sunday; one last mini vacation before the big move.
