Jeffrey Campbell

I have found a shoe designer that seems to be popping up everywhere lately. Jeffrey Campbell designs seem to be on everyones feet lately. Check out some of his designs from this summers line. My favourite designs are his wedges, they are amazing.

Are you a fan of Jeffrey Campbell?

You can find his stuff at nationwide at Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters and Lord and Taylors.

Someone Fabulous

I want to talk about someone fantastic. I don't know about anyone else, but I love Erin Kaplan! Yes she is tough and hot headed on that show The City, but I love her work ethic and her style. Here are a couple photos of her for her Elle magazine shoot. The first one is my favourite, I love this outfit.

see what I mean? I would love to work with her.

Whose style do you like better: Erin or Olivia

Happy Canada Day

Hope you all had a great Canada Day! I spent mine out at Petrie Island in Orleans.

Karaoke in the beer tent!

There were some bands playing on the beach, and we went down to see our friend Eric and his band the St-Cyr Band.

There were police all over the place. On bikes, on foot and on ATV's..made it a little stressful trying to drink our beers on the beach.

Does anyone know how to get rid of SPAM on the comments section?

Solder On

I posted earlier about going to an art show called Art Amongst The Ruins. Well, while there, I saw a woman with ammonite earrings. They were spectacular! I asked her where she got them and she directed me to a store in my home town called Very Sheri. Right after the show I buzzed down there. I didn't find any earrings, but I did find the fossils themselves all cut and polished. I had to buy them and decided to try and make my own earrings out of them. Well, they were a success!

Art Amongst the Ruins

I ventured to an art show on the weekend. It was amazing! The venue was on a residential property that used to house a mill. So there were artist booths around this wooden hallow with a raging river in the background and the foundation of a stone mill. Very pretty and enchanting. I only snapped a few pics.

This stone mosaic was done by the hosts daughter.

I bought this amazing hand-blown glass. The studio is located in Kingston, so I'm going to go down and get the rest of the colours to make a set. They are quite beautiful.

Tee Dress-up

Want to feel laid back and comfy in your style but don't want to look too casual? I came across an article on InStyle.com about dressing up your tee, and here are the ones I agree with:

1. Add a vest

(Beyonce goes with a Balmain vest)

2. Tie on a Scarf:

(Nicole adds a Pucci scarf)

3. Layering on a jacket:

4. Wear a statement necklace:
