Style Swellness: Silver summer accessories

Silver jewelry

Although I’ve been wearing gold for years now (not sure when I made the switch from favoring silver), lately some silver accessories have been stealing my affection.

Melissa Gobeil Design

This lovely fringey piece here, for one. Layered over a Tshirt that drapes just how you want it to or floaty summer dress? Perfection. And, oh, it’s made by my very talented friend Melissa GobeilMelissa Gobeil Design Quill Neckpiece, $175.

 Jenny Bird Luna Warrior Wrap

This leather wrap bracelet with dangling chains made me stop in my tracks the first time I saw it. It’s by Jenny Bird (don’t forget to pick up your limited-edition Wild for Bees bracelets and earrings while you can!), and I’m pretty sure I’ll be caving soon and buying this piece (so much for trying not to shop…). Jenny Bird Luna Warrior Wrap, $65.

Pyrrha

And the third covetable piece is by Pyrrha, a Vancouver-based company. A friend once mentioned how good she feels wearing her Pyrrha pieces, and how she often finds herself touching the talisman when she has it on, and I can see why; they have a great weight and pleasing feel to them. I’m partial to this one here featuring a trinity of elk, representing great strength. Pyrrha Intuition Talisman Necklace, $140.

Style Swellness: Augustina boutique launches online shopping

Augustina Boutique handbags Loeffler Randall and Rebecca Minkoff

I’m in Toronto’s chic Yorkville neighbourhood at least once a week for events or errands. And I always make it a point to scurry on by Augustina, averting my eyes from the stunning clothes and accessories calling my name from the window as I’m trying to curtail my shopping… Sometimes I’m successful, and sometimes not so much.

But now they’ve launched an e-commerce site — and I may as well just give up on trying to be good. Loeffler Randall, Rebecca Minkoff, Me & Ro and so many other gorgeous goods all so easily accessible at my fingertips? Oh my.

Shipping and returns will be simple, too, since it’s all here in Canadaland.

What items are you coveting? The Loeffler Randall Rider handbag is at the top of my wishlist.
