    Event LOVE: @ThinkReese 2014 Collection Preview

    20140226_211758

    We were invited to an Exclusive Preview of the REESE 2014 collection on Thursday. If you’ve seen any of Reese’s pieces then you know we were in for quite a treat- from sexy and unique bathing suits, to beautiful cultured pieces, and pretty printed dresses; this was gonna be good! I was especially looking forward to seeing the “Tourist-Oviya” piece and almost lost my mind when I did, because it’s just as beautiful in person as it looks in the online store! I need it in my life like yesterday!!

    The lady of the hour!

    It’s totally inspiring to see someone from Toronto doing some amazing things in the world of fashion and accessories all over the world, and the fact that she makes everything herself? AMAZING.

    Below are some of my favourite pieces from the collection.

    Event LOVE: @Swarovski Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation


    IMG_0747

    We were invited to the Swarovski Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation on Thursday, and as per usual it was LOVELY! The collection boasts a plethora of beautiful, sparkly and shiny pieces with intricate details and the prettiest of colours. I. Was. In. Heaven. Spring is a time of new beginnings, renewal, warmer weather, and the prettiest colours, and that’s exactly what the Swarovski Spring/Summer 2014 Collection gave us. In true Bella fashion, once I got all my pictures I took off my coat and all my jewellery and tried on some of my favourite pieces; my hands even hit the “red carpet” decked out in Swarovski bling!

    IMG_0687

    It’s such a pretty, colourful and fresh collection, and even boasted some pieces that I’ve never seen them do before, i.e. the tribal necklace (which I LOVED!). I mentioned how intricate these pieces were, but my words couldn’t possibly come close to describe, just how beautiful and intricate they are so you’re just going to have to see for yourself!

    Enjoy!

    Event LOVE: @Swarovski Fall/Winter 2013/14 Collection Preview

    PicsArt_1366765795799

    We were recently invited to view Swarovski’s Fall/Winter 2013 Collection. The event was held over at the luxurious Shangri-la Hotel (so fitting) in downtown Toronto, and the room was beautifully decorated with gorgeous displays of the collection. I never know what to expect from Swarovski; but what I do know is that it never disappoints, I’m always blown away, I ooh, aah, and drool a little , and there are always so many beautiful pieces, and this was definitely the case that evening. You’ll see by my pictures that I tried so hard to hold all the excitement back (loves me some shiny thangs!), but ultimately failed, as I tried on pretty much everything and was acting a damn fool 🙂 I also got to hang out with some of my favourtie bloggers. I had fun!

    20130423_191719

    Here are some of my favourite pieces, which is pretty much the entire collection!

    Thank you so much to Swarovski for always inviting us, and for allowing us to view such a beautiful collection!

    Happy weekend 🙂

    Everyday Bracelets We Love!

    I think of myself pretty much a minimalist and like the simple things in life. I live in a small condo (550 square feet), drive a mini cooper, wear jeans daily, and very little jewelry. So when I received the package of  3 GoodWood braclets from Karmaloop  I absolutley loved them. You can wear these with everything! Classic wooden bead bracelets for…..get this…..$20.00 for a pack of 3! Plus GoodWork jewelry is made in the USA.  Below are a few options they have. 

                                 The GW Bracelet 3-Pack in Blue, Natural, & Dark Wood $20.00

                                                                                                                                                 

                                The GW Bracelet 3-Pack in Natural, Red, & Brown $20.00

     I have been wearing the bracelets to yoga, parties, pretty much everyday. Check out the rest of gotta have GoodWood collection of jewelry at http://karmaloop.com/ .

    Le Cuteness: @ChibiJewels

     

    Perfect for summer… or everyday in my case 🙂

    I’m all about cute and affordable jewellery, so when I heard about and saw some of Chibi Jewelspieces, I couldn’t help but want to share it with you all 🙂 “Chibi Jewels is a New York jewelry studio whose whimsical collection of handmade jewelry takes inspiration from the traditions, colors, patterns, and symbols of cultures from around the world.” I was happy to find that a lot of the pieces are friendly on the pockets, with a price point that ranges from $15-$140, which is perfect for those of us that are yet to achieve “baller” status. ha ha

    quite possibly one of the cutest rings ever

    more rings!

    I have a pair of earrings just like this, and can’t help but think it’s meant to be…? This necklace should be mine.

    In Japanese, chibi means small, but is only used as a term of endearment between those that are close… awwww

    Hope you had a lovely weekend 🙂

    ♥Bella♥

    More Chibi goodness here!
