Vancouver based designer Trudy Wynans launched her unique handcrafted jewellery collection in the Spring of 2006.  I discovered how much I love the line in the Fall of 2011.

I had the pleasure of attending this years One Of A Kind Show Vancouver.   I was overwhelmed with the variety of talent and plan on sharing some of my favourite vendors I found, one of which was TOODLEBUNNY.   I picked myself up a super cute gold owl neckl

ace from her TOODLES collection.

So many owls to choose from (my fave), but I went with the gold on gold one on the far left.

Trudy’s designs have an organic feel with use of birds, tusks, and leaves.  There is an element of fun and whimsy along with clean and modern lines.  Her pieces feel girly and feminine with a bit of an edge.  I think this is what drew me to her collection.

I love this piece!  The gold heart and bow are so sweet, but the element of black adds personality to a sweet necklace.

Another amazing piece.  This bracelet is 14k gold woven with leather.  It has amazing texture and the multi chain fringe!?!…amazing!

My New Years Resolution of eating right and exercising regularly is still in effect.  I’m proud of me for not bailing on this personal project of mine.  With it I’ve lost weight, my clothes are fitting better, and my confidence is coming back again.

As much as I blog about fashion and what I love, I haven’t really done too much in the way of my own personal style.  But with some new found confidence and a beautiful sunny day, Spring got the better of me and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to snap a few pics.

Heading out for dins with my fella on a sunny Saturday night!

Jeans: Fidelity denim from The Urban Rack

Bag: Scoop pop up boutique / Bracelet: Paired Hummingbirds from Briers

Leather jacket: vintage.

As many of you know, I like to shop local.  I also like to relive my shopping experience by sharing my finds with all of you.  I found some perfect little bits of lovely on 4th Ave here in Vancouver that are great prezzies for the ladies in your life or if you want to treat yourself to something nice.

I found these yummy soaps at Beauty Bar.  Each soap is wrapped in pretty paper and then placed in this decorative tin.  Love!  I went with Marshmallow and Lychee Flower.  So pretty and only $12 each.

My next little find are these vintage inspired lace gloves from Spank.  I couldn’t resist these for only $9!  They will be perfect for my upcoming “Royal Wedding Girls Night”. (more to come on this later)

My last bit of happy are these fab bangles I got at Briers.  This Vancouver designer’s label is Paired Hummingbirds.  What I love about them is that each one is one of a kind vintage fusion.  She uses 85-100% reclaimed materials.  How great is that?!?  I loved the vintage locket on the gold one, but had to grab a silver one too since it had a hibiscus charm on it.  I still have Maui on my mind.  Also nicely priced at $34.
