Convertible Bag by Antrobus
Convertible Bag

This is one of my favourite bags ever. All the different compartments and the added clutch and shoulder bag duo are great features.

It’s pricey of course, $1,250USD

Here are two finds I got at the Stella Luna Annual Clearance Sale, both were $15 a piece

Green leather jacket
I now have a leather jacket in my wardrobe, a dark green one at that.

Mod Coat
This jacket was a little too big but I could resist its Mod influence.

I love vintage coats my closet is full of them. The sovintagepatterns.com website is making me salivate with all the 60s patterns they have available. I wish I could sew.

Haramaki, get your belly warmers

  • Jan 16, 2007
  • Post a comment

Reader submissions are a beautiful thing. I thank reader JP from blogUT.ca for this little fashion nugget from Japan, Haramaki.
20070116_nharamakistyle.jpg
Haramaki translates to belly warmer. Traditionally used for abdominal health purposes they are quickly becoming a fashion trend. After my initial WTF reaction to the Haramaki, I’m starting to really like them. The prints are great and they are perfect for layering. I love the look in the picture posted above and that is what sold me on the Haramaki. Pingmag.jp has more pictures of Haramaki style that you should check out.

I wonder how long it will take this trend to make it over to the West.

Pumpkin Spice necklace by Modish
20070105_modishpumpkin_spice.jpg
I love the use of the blackberry motive in this design. I’ve seen it in other designers and it gets me everytime.

It makes me happy when people email me tips. I got an email from Liz Yeung, one half of the Modish duo. She asked me to take a look at their jewelry designs and I liked what I saw. Each piece is hand-crafted and uses a combination of semi-precious stones, glass beads and pearls, all imbued with silver or gold. This Vancouver based team have found their products available in stores across Canada and the US.

A very simple necklace but the stones make this necklace gorgeous.

Modish is available in Toronto at
Out on a Limb
1755 Avenue Road
(416) 785-5592

For those of you not in the Tdot, you can order online.
