All Things Buffalo Plaid

It’s after Labour Day and it is feeling like fall here in Toronto. That means it is finally plaid season. We have put together a list of all things buffalo plaid from Etsy. For those who are not familiar with Etsy, it is an online marketplace where you can find some great handmade and vintage items. We are loving buffalo plaid and have included all kinds of items from fashion to home decor. There is something for our furry friends, for the coffee lover and for the little ones.

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Pumpkin Spice

Did someone say pumpkin spice? Yup, it is that time of the year. Even though it is officially fall season, here in Toronto we have had hot summer like weather for a week now (not that I mind the bonus Indian summer days!). But it has finally cooled down and actually feels like fall. For this fall ensemble, I have gone with a brown and burgundy color theme. The sweater with the beautiful back detail just screams fall. I paired it with gray jeans and burgundy booties. Then I layered the outfit with a plaid blanket scarf and a gold bird necklace from our shop. The brown bucket handbag is added for all your knick knacks. This pumpkin spice look won’t be complete without a cute coffee mug. Also, how adorable is that burgundy pumpkin? Happy Weekend!

How To Wear Burgundy

Fall In Burgundy
Add a punch of burgundy to your outfit this fall. You can add it through your accessories for a subtle look such as a scarf or shoes or bag. For a bolder look, make your outfit stand out with a burgundy jacket, pants or shirt. Here we have added burgundy to the outfit with the jacket and the blanket scarf. The main outfit is kept casual with a gray sweater and skinny jeans. Fall will not be complete without suede! Suede booties and a tassel handbag in a neutral tan color complement the outfit. Gold goes perfectly with this warm fall color. You can accent your outfit with simple gold necklace like our birds necklace to add the finishing touches. Hope everyone is having a great Friday. Have a happy weekend!

Mother’s Day Giveaway!

I don’t know about you but I have yet to buy a gift for my mom for mother’s day. My sister and I usually both pitch in and give my mom something together. My mom is easy to gift so we will just have to brainstorm a little and find that special gift for her.

If you are looking to buy something for yourself (yes it is ok to gift yourself!) or your mom for Mother’s Day, Etsy is a great place to shop. For those who are not familiar with Etsy, it is an online marketplace where you can find some great handmade gifts.

So for those of you who have waited to buy something (procrastinating can have some pros!), you are in for a treat. I have collaborated with two awesome shops to hold a Mother’s Day giveaway on Instagram.

Clay N Wire creates some amazing modern and unique polymer clay jewelry.

You can never have too many scarves especially as unique as this one from Squishy Hugs Design. Ok I am a little biased when it comes to scarves. I am a big scarf lover so subconsciously (or consciously) a scarf made it to the top of the gift guide.

Etsy Market @ Evergreen Brickworks

1695_Brick-Works_Market_Social_R1v1 (1) (2)

Etsy in partnership with Evergreen is bringing a unique collection of handmade and vintage Etsy shops to a market at Evergreen Brickworks. There will also be a farmer’s market and local food vendors alongside the Etsy market. Let’s not forget the 11th Annual Cask-Conditioned Beer Festival that continues on Sunday as well. Beer + Handmade + Local + Fall weather will make for one great Sunday outing.

We have curated a collection of 16 artisans that will be participating at the Etsy market along with us. Some of them were our neighbours at the August market at Evergreen Brickworks. We met Rovena from Handmade by Rovena there. She is back this Sunday with her unique collection of handmade paper goods including her chemistry inspired cards.

We came across others like Lola’s Pocket at a handmade market here in Toronto. Their scrabble key chain caught our eyes instantly and it hangs alongside my husband’s car keys now. They will be back as well with all their “darling little things.”

Yet others we have featured here are new to us but still part of the Etsy community. Etsy shop Dainty Bits And Pieces donates proceeds towards cat rescue. We love gardening and eating organic food and if you do too, then Etsy shop Cubits might interest you. Felicia, the artisan behind Citchen Candle Co. creates all natural soy candles and organizes a local market called Trinity Bellwoods Flea here in Toronto.

You can find links to all these curated finds here on Etsy.etsy-at-evergreen-brickworks

See you at the market! You can find more information about the Etsy market here.

How To Pull Off Yellow

Add a punch of golden sunshine to your wardrobe this summer. Yellow is making a splash this season. A crop top in a beautiful yellow hue is combined with culottes in black and white. Comfortable yet stylish. This outfit is paired with a purse and flats in a subdued off white color to keep the focus on the outfit. I love the eyelet inspired shoes. Perfect for summer. A simple gold celtic knot necklace from our boutique is added to finish off the outfit. If you are into chunky jewelry, add a statement necklace in white to style up the look.
Hope everyone is having a great Friday. Have a happy weekend!
