We were fortunate enough to have accessorized the models who showed Katharine Demarchelier‘s beautiful 2011 swimwear line at last week’s Vancouver Fashion Week. So exciting!
Here are just a few of the photos taken by Tony Mah. You can see more on our Facebook page. (In these ones, the models are wearing Torus necklaces). Make sure you check out the rest of Katharine Demarchelier’s swimwear online!
I’m working on a custom ‘skin’ design for our phone, since a black phone on a black desk is often hard to find without having to call said phone. I thought it’d be fun to do the same pattern that we use for our Flower Lace necklaces, since it’s one of my favorites of everything we’ve ever designed:
In looking through my working files for this design, I came across this bookmarked blog posting by Oh Joy! with the original inspiration for the pattern:
Oh Joy! had blogged about NY Fashion Week in September 2007 and the Lela Rose‘s Spring 2008 collection. It’s been 3 years, and I still love that dress and our engraved wood necklace that was inspired by it.
Last Thursday, Blend Creations had the honour of being part of Wear !t Loud 2010, an event that was raising money for Plan Canada‘s Because I am a Girl campaign. We’re so happy to have been part of it, and thankful that the following celebs were also involved.
Wear it Loud was hosted by ET Canada‘s Rick Campanelli:

Music for the event was provided by Anna Cyzon, Candy Coated Killahz and DJ Chris LaRoque.

When we did our “virtual shopping” mood boards a few weeks ago, we actually did a couple more than what were posted.
So without further ado, here they are:
I’ll admit I forgot to add in the captions this time around but, you can get full shopping details on the polyvore version of the spread (click on each of the images). (As before, with Eric’s “guy” shopping, everything can be found in one store: Bluefly.com, and he paired it with the a solid Blend Creations “Dragon” stainless steel pendant).
I love a really good LBD (little black dress) — probably too much since many of my “nice” dresses tend to be black. I also really like wearing red accessories with them and I think there’s something quite “classic’ about it. The Blend Creations red bamboo pendant and earrings have quite the shock of red and perfect for the LBD :)
Finally, the last one makes me wish that it would stay summer just a little bit longer:
It’s a watermelon-inspired colour palette with our “Pink plum blossoms” necklace and earrings paired with a bright pink jersey dress and the tailored bag. (I have a thing for structured purses it seems).
Happy shopping :)
In the continuation of a theme, I’ve decided to do my version of Vivian’s post yesterday, where she showed our “flowerish” engraved jewelry matched with a summer outfit.
For the guy’s outfit, we’ve got a “smart casual” look. Starting from the top-left corner and going clockwise, the outfit is made up of:
Yes, I realize that everything in the outfit comes from the same store, but it’s true to the guy way of shopping: Get in, buy everything you could possibly need and get the heck out.
I would have said Windows® shopping, but our PC has decided not to connect to the internet so we’re almost exclusively Mac-surfing now.
I’ve been wanting to do a little shopping, but it seems whenever we have the free time to go shopping, it’s usually past closing time at the mall. Instead, it’s virtual shopping for me and the added benefit is that there’s an overwhelming selection, and I can always pretend that everything would fit me perfectly. :)
I created a little inspiration board with the outfit I found for a fictitious dress-up lunch with the girls:
In case you’re interested in the details, clockwise from the top-left corner:
Now, I created this little inspiration piece in Illustrator, but if you’re ever in the mood to pull together your own inspiration boards, you can whittle away some time playing with Polyvore, where I was able to pull together the same outfit, complete with clickable links, in a fraction of the time.
