Sac du jour



The Buckle Down Italian leather clutch by Jenny Bird: another thing of beauty that shows the designer's love of brass and sass. $395



We're huge fans of fellow Torontonian Jenny Bird and we get rather giddy whenever we see something new pop up in her little shop of treasures.



Turns out that we're not the only ones who love her vintage-y modern bags and accessories: we've seen Whitney Port with more than a few of the designer's clutches and we've spotted Jenny's jewelry on Carmen Electra, Rachel Ray and Taylor Momsen in an episode of Gossip Girl.



That said, our Jenny is still the local gal we know and today's Buckle Down clutch is another piece that makes us so very proud of her amazing rise to handbag and jewelry fame.



Today's Buckle Down clutch is another winner with its neat row of seven brass buckles lining up the bottom of this Italian leather convertible bag that doubles as a cross-body piece. Priced at $395, it's a fine specimen that will fly off the shelves (get it? fly.. Jenny Bird.. oh come on, that's cute, right?).



We're looking forward to playing the game of who can spot the most number of celebs rocking the Buckle Down clutch as they swish into parties this summer.



And while we're here, why not throw in a few shiny pieces by our gal. Here's from the Jenny Bird spring/summer jewelry collection:




Gold-plated Hear Me Roar studs, $70




Gold-plated Summer Hoop with ceramic bead, $64




Wood & Horn collar necklace (as seen in Fashion magazine), $195




Brass and black enamel Treasure Cuff, $58




Gold-plated brass Hear Me Roar ring, $95

Engagement ring


How *gorgeous* is this ring? Swooning.

I'd love to ask you, my darlings: What's your relationship status? Are you married, engaged, dating, single, it's complicated? Just curious. :) I'd love to hear...

Quebec in NYC



Not to be missed and sure to light a spark in many a New Yorker's eye: the Jewelry Artists of Quebec exhibition & trunk show featuring Claudio Pino, Matthieu Chemin e, Janis Kerman, Lynn L gar and more.



I couldn't have been more excited this morning to discover these fascinating baubles sitting in my inbox (unfortunately in 2-D only).



The Jewelry Artists of Qu bec got together for an exhibition and trunk show that opens May 3 at the Aaron Faber Gallery in the big NYC where we're convinced these edgy and utterly different creations will find many a tempted mate.



The show collection is themed innovation and craftsmanship in metal and brings the talent and beautiful pieces by acclaimed Quebec jewelry artists for a larger audience than the province's (and this country's) reach. We were very excited to read that the exhibition is in partnership with government agencies to help with economic development and growth of the Quebec artist community. It's so uplifting to see government funding allocated to support jewelry artists- especially since this art form seems often unacknowledged or under-represented in the arts.



I've been quite taken with the works of Claudio Pino who somehow slipped through the cracks of my fashion circles despite his huge success here and around the world. Pino is an award-winning artist whose pieces are featured in the advertisement for the exhibition (pictured top). Poking around his site, I found more intricate and intriguing creations that I couldn't resist sharing for their sheer cool factor and beauty (pictured below):

Pretty damn unbelievable.



I was also intrigued by the work of Barbara Stutman, who mixes crochet work with precious stones, silver chain, magnets and whatnot:




Barbara Stutman creates multi-textured pieces using gems, crocheted plastics, chain, etc.



And artist Janis Kerman whose creations are very modern and cool, centred on the idea of balance rather than symmetry:

Check out all the artists' featured in this exciting exhibition in NYC happening until May 26, 2012 by dropping by the exhibition website where you can also pick your favourites and link up to their individual sites.

P.S. I wonder what our fragrance reviewer Vanessa thinks of these- she's also a jewelry addict. Now I just outed her.

Hats!

Tonight, the long-awaited Hat Preview!

But first I want to share with you my latest favorited Etsy item, from
meekssandygirl's shop. She makes gorgeous crocheted cashmere necklaces, corsages, and sculpture. I found her when one of her necklaces was featured on the Etsy front page this afternoon. I just love the colors in this lemon necklace:





Isn't it lovely? I want it! It's one of the simpler pieces. She also has beautiful, intricate poppy and bluebell necklaces. Go check out her shop!
