Online store – Kranich’s Jewelers

August 25th, 2011

Our 5 year wedding anniversary’s coming up in October and I tell my guy that it is a momentous occasion for gifts. One thing on my wish list is that I would love to upgrade my engagement ring. I have a beautiful custom designed engagement ring which I love and cherish very much. But you know as you age, your taste grows more sophisticated too, I’d love a more sophisticated ring as well. I have been casually browsing the jewelry stores, I haven’t seen anything that quite caught my eye. Then I came across this jewelry site called Kranich’s and I was struck by how gorgeous and unique the designs are.
I especially love the Verragio Collection. They just look so regal and exquisitely crafted. They are fit for a princess. If your guy gets you a ring like these, you are a very lucky girl.

I’m very excited to add another beauty boutique site to my list of must-shop online stores, especially one that caters to Canadian readers :) . Go check out eBeauty.ca.

Which is where I discovered these fab new nail polishes from the brand Butter London. As you know I’m not a big on nail polish, it somehow just chips way too fast when you have to deal with a toddler constantly. But I LOVE nail polishes, especially when I see colors like these.

Fabulous colours, with adorably cheeky names, Butter London’s polishes are inspired by rock and roll, Great Britain, and the fashion industry, but they are also inspired by something else: purity. Utilizing a unique “3 Free” formula, all of Butter London’s products are made with no formaldehyde, no toluene, and no DBP, making them some of the most hygienic nail products to ever grace your fingertips! ”

Online store – Shabby Apple

October 20th, 2010

If you are looking for unique dresses with exceptional tailoring and style, you have to check out this cute little online boutique called Shabby Apple. You won’t find designer labels here, but stylish dresses and accessories in relatively inexpensive prices. From Shabby Apple’s:

“After years of not being able to find stylish dresses that covered enough skin to make you really feel comfortable (without wearing a tank top, cardigan or long slip), owners Emily and CK decided to do something about it.
They visited trade shows, marketplaces and designer studios only to discover the problem was not that department stores weren’t buying the right dresses, but that designers weren’t designing them.
Shabby Apple is proud to offer you fantastic dresses that allow you to look fabulous, without having to compromise anything else.
A return to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything…no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!).
Shabby Apple also focuses on helping women worldwide. Through our charitable work with women throughout Asia and Africa, we are able to convert dress sales into lifestyle changes for women and children.”

Just discovered a new beauty site called Glow.com (probably not new to you, haha) and I think it’s going to be a nice addition to all the other beauty sites that I frequent because it’s got a TON of popular boutique and department store brands as well as some hard to find ones. The website is pretty user-friendly. You can shop by brand or by catergory which are pretty typical of beauty websites’ layout, but you can also shop by skin concern and skin type. It ships to Canada with very reasonable shipping rates (free shipping within the U.S. you lucky State-siders :) .
