Street Stylin': Amelia

I met the gorgeous Amelia, hailing from Sweden, at Friday's Efterklang show at Sala Rossa. I was completely smitten with her studded shoulder dress, an H&M (of course) piece she treasure-hunted for. I firmly believe you can never go wrong with black and a touch of punk.


Shoulders are the newest accessory backdrop - embroidered, studded, draped, puffed, it's a very versatile showcase for your bling. You can pick up some local creations or D.I.Y it with the Bedazzler in the bottom of your closet or simply a needle and some embroidery thread.

Oh snap! Moi sur Clin D'oeil!

I forgot that I stumbed across this during the holidays - I got snapped at the Billie Boutique blogger's night but thought nothing of it until this came up in my google alerts.
Check it out - I'm on the Clin D'oeil Street Stylin' blog!


The entry doesn't tell you about all the made-in-Canada goodness I'm wearing so allow me:

And the bling, of course, is mine.

Featured Product: Eco-conscious foot bling from Neuaura

I've recently started following Magnifeco.com's blog and I just had to re-blog Kate's post from this morning. These shoes are TO DIE FOR - except that nothing died for them - AND this vegan, conscious-production foot bling is ON SALE!

Diva-fy

I am completely anti-over-consumption - but sometimes you just wanna accessorize to an extreme. Music vids are the new catwalk and I have been drooling over the bling in Beyonce's Diva video and Lady Gaga's Paparazzi. I want B's sunglasses and Lady G's Dior rings. To the studio at once!

Edible Bling

I don't have much time today as I have to begin assembling all of the pieces that will be featured this weekend at the Roller Derby (See previous post!) but I thought I'd leave you with this mysterious hint about the latest Brazen Design creation. Send me your guesses and you'll win one if you're right! I'll post winner and photos next week.

It's silver. And edible.

Can you guess what it is?

All Hail The Sale: Peekaboo Wilcox bids adieu!

I can't get the skinny on WHY, but Le Marche Montreal is saying good-bye to its signature jewellery line, Peekaboo Wilcox. This bling has been immensely popular - I see it danging from the ladies all over town - and apparently it has made appearances on Sex & The City and other celebrities. So I don't know if it's the end of the line, or it just got too popular for our little hometown boutique... but in any case, it's time to grab the piece you've been eyeing for the last six years. The prices are HALF OFF which is crazy talk, so go! Stop reading! Go!

DISCLAIMER: It's still a recession, so only spend if you have a little bit of 'fluff' money put away. Let's not go into debt for the sake of accessorizing!

Things That Go Bling: Big Pinky Ring

I have never seen as many big-ass pinky rings on men as I did this past week.... and I'm lovin' it.

The rings: silver, gold, set with stones... it's all good.

The dudes: young, old, thugged out, in a three piece suit... it's all good.

Let's see if we can start a big-ass lady pinky ring phenomenon.

(This is one of the rings that came out of the Luis Vuitton - Pharrell Williams collaboration)

Injury Bling

My latest accessory has been a ring finger swathed in rolls of gauze. An edgy look I dare say.
Despite that, I would caution all out there to stay away from this kind of painful fashion statement. Watch those knives!
