Tis the festive season and I like to add some sparkle to my outfits.
Vintage Rhinestone Pins
Most of my pins are by the Canadian designer Sherman.
Mom loved her Sherman jewelry.
My father used to buy Sherman for her at Christmas.
Beautiful velvet boxes from Birks.
They usually contained a necklace, bracelet and earrings.
She would wear them with a velvet dress that she made for the holidays.
My sister and I had dresses also made by Mom...
she used the leftover fabric from her dress to sew ours.
All three of us had the same colour of velvet for each Christmas season.
(I have pictures of the three of us all dressed up)
This pin is by the designer Boucher of Paris.
He went on to design for the House of Cartier.
Do you add sparkle to your festive outfits?
This tree is in the square behind The Art Gallery in Vancouver.
We were there to attend a meeting and see friends who just moved into their newly built penthouse condominium.
Painted entrance to their parking garage.
Shopping happens when we visit the city!
I love the Eileen Fisher shop on South Granville.
I met a delightful woman in the shop.
She reads my blog!
I loved her outfit...
black vest, sweater and pants.
Very chic black glasses that many women in Paris wore.
Hope she will email me.
It would be fun to meet up for a chat and a coffee next time I am in Vancouver either before or after I shop in Eileen Fisher or we could shop together!
Casual greyish beige top
Very cozy
I'm wearing it with the black Eileen Fisher pants from last season.
I've got to finish this post quickly as I have a dental appointment.
There is so much to get done in the next few weeks...
baking, shopping, wrapping, decorating the house.
Hope that we can get some of these jobs done this coming weekend.
How are your festive plans coming along?
