    Heidi Gardner @CreatureCouture Fall Preview

    Last week I attended the fall preview for Heidi Gardner Creature Couture at Dopo Teatro in NYC. Guests sipped cocktail and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres at the private event where Heidi’s latest jewelry line was showcased.

    The pieces were detailed, brass and silver creatures and skulls from a high-fashion nightmare. Stones shimmered from their eye sockets, or in some cases they had empty gazes.

    I love, love all of these pieces. There were so delightfully twisted and wicked.

    Prices range from $120 -$4,800.

    This actually isn’t a ring. It’s a pendant for a necklace, but I just set it atop my finger because I thought it looked cool there. 🙂

    Rings and things

    Enjoyed meeting Heidi. She had a ton of energy!

    Heidi shows off her jewels. Love that ring!

    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 🙂

    More Chibi goodness here!

    Thank You @JewelMint

    I attended the Jewel Mint April collection preview event last month, and I guess all that wishing I could own a few Jewel Mint pieces paid off, because I received some Jewel Mint goodies shortly after. Score!

    The Honey Bee Ring. Love it!

    Oxidized gold-plated finish, and burgundy coloured crystals. Bee-utiful!

    The All Wrapped Up Bracelet. Real black leather, clover, heart, crystal and plain studs. Love.

    BIG Thank you to Kate and Cher for such lovely treats 🙂

    An afternoon with @JewelMint #TFWMint

    love!

    Yesterday Jewel Mint gave us a preview of their upcoming April collection, and even treated us to a TASTY and cozy lunch at 416 Snackbar on Bathurst. I thought the pieces were unique and super cute, with the box bag, tulip earrings and animal bracelets being my favourite pieces! Omg that box bag… need it in my life.

    cute!

    love.

    NEED.

    Alternative straps for the box bag
