Cheap Monday: Clairvoyant Collection

Want them all?  At $35 a pair they hardly break the bank.  I especially love the Night Planner and the Round Glasses.  I love that Cheap Monday is branching out into accessories…   available here and hopefully at some more shops soon.

Update: Osborn Design Studio

Osborn Design Studio has added some gorgeous embroidered boots and oxfords made with recycled huipils to their shop.   Seriously awesome, and not for the timid.

Update: Manu by Lauren Manoogian

I just revisited Lauren’s site for Manu, her jewelry line (a favourite of mine), and noticed that she has started a Tumblr blog for documenting her work. In case you don’t already know, her jewelry is made with very basic office supplies such as tape and paperclips, with stunning results.

New Looksee shop merchandise

I’ve just added a lot of new handmade and vintage jewelry to the shop as well as some other goodies.

*Just an update to let you know that I have had to increase the price of the triple triangle necklace due to the increase in the price of chain.  I am now also offering a single triangle necklace, at the old price of the triple triangle necklace.  The single is perfect for wearing with other necklaces… I can’t stop wearing the one I made for myself.

Fall 2010 RTW: Generra

I really love the new Generra collection for men.  Leave it to Swaim and Christina Hutson. The way the green and blue colour palette was styled for the show is quite striking, and yet looks very wearable.  Even though I wasn’t as excited about their women’s wear this time around, I really love the men’s.fall 2010, generra, menswear, fashion, design, thelooksee

Europe, ho!

This is a little passport case I made yesterday from some leather scraps that my husband had from another project.  He cut them out in a basic pattern, and we both hand-stitched our respective cases.  Today, I did a little pyrography on mine with a soldering iron, since we don’t have any leather-specific tools, and it worked quite well.  We are off to Europe this coming week, and want our passports to look fashionable 🙂

Sunshine & Shadow: Spring 2010

It seems that just about every blogger out there loves Sunshine & Shadow…  I am no exception.  Though I’m not about to race out and rock socks with wedges, I absolutely love the Spring collection, including the necklaces (which remind me a lot of Manu).

Some fun gifty things

This is a small collection of things that would make cool presents- some are limited edition, some are vintage.  I’ve also included a photo of my triangle necklaces because I do still have more of the vintage triangles left.  Sorry this is late in coming… I’m not too great with the whole gift guide thing, but here goes!
