Mai Lin Jewelry – The Perfect Gift Straight From the Heart
Happy Bank Holiday Weekend friends!
Today I wanted do a little post for a friend of mine way back in Toronto. My gorgeous friend Marlissa is a jewelery maker who has founded Mai Lin Jewelry, and who makes the most beautiful and delicate bracelets as a way of sharing and showing others that she cares. Each of her pieces, whether for you or a gift is truly a little piece of her heart and from the packaging to the actual item, they are perfection.
Recently, Marlissa released a new collection in support of her friend Megan Runser who is battling cancer. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of Marlissa’s friendship bracelets will benefit Megan’s fight against cancer. Click here to see the collection and I encourage you all to buy!
Marlissa’s bracelets are the perfect way to cherish and celebrate someone special in your life and give them a little reminder of how much they mean to you – all the while being beautiful and hand made.

Snazzy Footwear On A January Afternoon
Hello again!
So back in January when I was home in lovely Toronto, I did a little photo shoot with my best friend Sarah to feature our newly purchased shoes. We each on different occasions bought pairs of killer heels that I thought why not do a post about it?
It turns out that Sarah also had a new outfit, for an upcoming wedding, to go with said new shoes, and so our little afternoon shoot was all set.
I brought back an old favourite piece because I have never featured it on my blog and I am secretly hoping that the fashion gods are listening and that they will invite Beth Ditto back for another collection/collaboration.
I’m wearing my favourite Beth Ditto lightning bolt sweater from the Beth Ditto for Evans collection over a year ago, with a pair of cheap chic leggings from Primark. I snagged my blingtastic heels at Pretty Things Boutique in Halifax, Nova Scotia and they are very high but I can’t resist them. I love the way they look and they make my calves look like I just ran a marathon.
Sarah is wearing an amazing fuchsia dress from Canada’s new British favourite, Top Shop along with a black lace cardi/bolero from H&M.
Her snazzy and oh so soft fuchsia wedges are from Town Shoes, in Toronto and have the cutest tassels hanging off the zipper in the back. I’m not sure how she managed to find heels this amazing that match her dress like they were made from the same cut of fabric, but that’s her amazing luck for you.
We did Sarah’s makeup to match! Doesn’t she look glamorous?
I know the photos are a couple of months old, and that my hair is completely different but I have been prepping this post forever and absolutely couldn’t not share the pictures with you because they are so fun. Long live killer heels, sore calves and fabulous looking legs!!!

Hometown Showcase: Stefanie Bezaire
I am so excited to have come across Stefanie Bezaire, an amazing up and coming designer for plus sizes! She is from Windsor, Ontario, which isn’t too far from Toronto (my hometown!), hooray for Canadian designers and supporting local!
Unfortunately, I was still in France during the One of a Kind Craft Show in Toronto, but I sent my mum to investigate the Stefanie Bezaire booth for me. Thank goodness I have a mother who will do these things for me! 🙂 I am completely in love with every piece, the fabrics look gorgeous and the outfits are ultra stylish. Her online shop went up today, and you can read her blog as well!
You can find all things Stefanie Bezaire at http://www.stefaniebezaire.com and on facebook .
