Anniversary Bands

Today's my Anniversary and I thought I'd post some of my favorite anniversary rings. I mean a girl can dream can't she? I thought I would attach some prices this time - because it does not fail to amaze me how prices vary with jewelry - despite much of it being rather similar...

Dog collars

Fancy Dog Collars

With a new puppy and a dog with an old raggedy collar, I thought it was time for some new collars. These were so neat, I almost wished they made belts! I really like the 'martingale' style collar - it's great for puppy training and for racing hounds (or dogs that drive you crazy). Here are some of my favorites from Etsy.

I bought this one for my Silken Windhound:

All Things Druzy

Druzy Jewelry

When I was searching for labradorite jewelry, I came across druzy slice jewelry. Druzy is another term for the inner cavity of a geode and it seems to be becoming population in places like etsy. Here are some of the examples I've been eying...

Store Spotlight: Zazzle Vintage

So for those of you who don't know, Zazzle is kind of like etsy...People make and sell a variety of products, but they are generally customizable. On my searches for graphic sneakers I came across this store: Zazzle Vintage. I love their graphic sneakers, but they also make quite a few nice t-shirts and other products - take a look!

Hunter Boots

Tired of Wet Ankles!

I guess it must be all the rain we are getting that has made me obsess about a purchase of hunter rain boots. I'm just not sure what style and size to get...many have said that they are 1-1.5 sizes larger than their claimed size. They are also very expensive and it's difficult to find a good deal. So for now, I'll just continue to think about it...here are some of my top picks.

Store Spotlight: Topshop

Have you been to Topshop?

(can you hear my British accent)

If you haven't - please go...it's a great store and soon we'll have it in Canada (yay the peasants rejoice!). Apparently they are teaming up with The Bay...so soon we'll be able to buy without the hassle of customs and no tracking info - most annoying!

Anyway, I was obsessed with their trousers (which ironic with a name like topshop) - until I caved and bought 3-4 pairs...I love love love them. They have a great cut for girls of my shape (pear). I have a really hard time finding pants that fit comfortably and for some reason topshop does the trick (perhaps because of all the Scottish/Irish ancestry??). After failing at H&M, Zara, Le Chateau...I almost gave up! Anyway, here are some of my favorite trousers from their site - highly highly recommended! Of course they have a lot of other great stuff too (though I can't

afford most of it :))

Earring Holders

I Need to Organize and Sort my Earrings!

How many of you have desperately shuffled through a pile of earrings hoping to find the ones you want right before you are about to leave? Instead, you get a clump of earrings, which you have to separate, only to find one...and you can never find the other. My pile of earrings isn't even that big - I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I had a really large collection.

These are some ideas I have...the creativity that places like etsy foster just amazes me...hope you enjoy!

Someone has used old printer drawers in a new way - really neat!
