I spy the Pod Necklace!  So excited to be adding a little jewellery to the Great Canadian Closet in this weekend's Style section of the Globe and Mail.  We are in excellent company with so many Canadian gems.  This group features the selections for women.  Also highlighted were some great picks for men!  Check out the full article for details!

Last day to visit INLAND!

Had a lovely day at INLAND today!  So fun to be surrounded by so much Canadian fashion and accessories design talent.  Check us out at the show! Some of our friends and faves including C'est Joli, Dagg and Stacey, Headmistress and Lilliput Hats are there too! Visit us tomorrow at 99 Sudbury from 11-5.

Countdown to INLAND!

With INLAND coming up in a few days, we are getting verrrry excited! Always love meeting customers in person and chatting with fellow designers.  Just had a lil peruse of this lookbook and now hoping to make it out of there without spending all our cash! Have a look at all the amazing participants!  Save some time for a visit on September 6th and 7th at 99 Sudbury St., Toronto.  Hope to see you there!

Inland at 99 Sudbury, Toronto

We'll be taking part in a new show here in Toronto. Inland is a curated shopping event for men and women. They have gathered an amazing roster of Canadian clothing and accessories designers, so this will be an event not to miss! Mark your calendars for September 6th and 7th at 99 Sudbury. Check out their website for more details. We're counting down the days and getting excited!

One of a Kind Show haul

It's so fun to be surrounded by many talented artisans at the One of a Kind Show!  Love picking up some delightful handmade goods.  Here are some of the goodies that I made away with!

New Chevron Cushions by Avril Loreti.  Got them home and found they coordinated extremely well with the log cushion picked up from Norwegian Wood at a previous OoaK Show and a buckwheat pillow I made a few years back.

Smooth and luxurious cutting boards from Swaine Street Woodworking.  Also got some cutting board oil and polish.

Light as air yet warm and cozy scarf from Scout & Catalogue.  Slowly learning to like blue, but I have always loved indigo blue!  Don't mind my grin...

Comfy super soft bamboo pj's from This is J.

Graphic dress from Montreal fashion designer Eve Gravel.  Not something I would usually choose, but trying to mix it up a little.  The cream fabric has a nice metallic pattern that you can't really see in this photo.  Can't wait until it warms up and I can break this number out.

Not a bad little haul!  

Going to pick a MoonRox Carnival Necklace to keep too.  Just have to decide on one... They are the perfect Spring accessory.

Anyhow, I'm enjoying the sunshine in Toronto today, despite the lingering chilly temps.  Headed back outside to soak it in before the clouds take over!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Last day at One of a Kind

Last day at the One a Kind Kind Show for this Christmas!  It's been a great show!  Had a nice time visiting with people I don't see often... or maybe twice a year at these shows!  Above are some of the amazing detail filled glass beads by Dreamglass by Lezlie...

Here is clothing designer Rita Di Cesare and cohort in front of her booth filled with her line Nude...

and lastly chatted with Heidi van Veen .  Love these dolls.  I have a cushion on my couch that I got from Heidi at one of our first One of a Kind Shows... must have been close to a decade ago.

Looking forward to a fun last day!

Come see us!

Dreamy creamy

Into this look from Club Monaco. Saw loads of pretty things in store the other day...

Dagg and Stacey contest!

My favourite outfitters and local design wonders Dagg and Stacey, have launched their online boutique. To celebrate, they are holding a contest to win a $250 gift card! Go here to find out more.

These are some of lovely images from their Spring/Summer 2011 look book.

I can feel the warmth of the hazy Summer sun in these images and can't wait to pick up some new Dagg and Stacey threads in preparation for this dreary weather to finally turn! My selections from season's past are still in strong rotation too!

To see more from their SS11 collection and more info, visit their website!

Wishing for Summer dress weather

I do enjoy this pastel kaleidoscope dress by shabd.

It's on sale...

It's darn chilly here in Toronto this week. I've been mostly hunkered down indoors working on Spring/Summer 2011 designs. I'm missing the days of fancy-free traipsing around in a dress and flip-flops on long warm Summer nights. Just a few more months until then...

Cardied

Like this look from Club Monaco's latest lookbook. Love the mix of grey tones plus a little sparkle... and I am a definite proponent of wearing a scarf and grey cardigan with absolutely anything!

S.'s wedding attire

I wish I had better photos, but here are some shots of S. in the divine wedding gown that she designed and created. I love how the jewellery looked with the complete ensemble. And check out those killer shoes!

Here are the P. sisters enjoying the celebrations.

Sorry I didn't post these last week along with the other pics from the wedding, but I wanted to check with the bride first!

See this post for pictures of the wedding scene and this one for pics of the jewellery.

I am literally going to the camera shop right now to look for a new camera.

Our Studio Sale has been lots of fun and has been busy so far. It was so nice to see some familiar faces pop by yesterday!

Cardy search

Last week I was in Buffalo for some cross-border goodness. Went on a road trip with some girls and we had a super-fun extended day of shopping!

I have been on the lookout for a perfect grey cardigan that I can throw over anything. I am in desperate need to replace my Club Monaco one that I have worn almost every day for three years. It has been looking quite sorry for some time.

Featherweight cotton ruffle cardigan

I found this very good option on the sale rack at J. Crew and brought it home with me! It is light and super soft. I am very happy with it but am still looking for the perfect replacement sweater!

While searching for an image of this cardy, I came across more pretty things at J. Crew:

tissue flutter tank

Reese studded back-zip gladiator sandal

Solid twist front bandeau top and Solid bikini bottoms with detachable ties

I am rarely a fan of navy (as a result of years of wearing a navy uniform through school) but this suit is so classic.

Pretty petal mini skirt

Featherweight cashmere cropped cardigan

I might have to order this one in grey. It is quite similar in cut to my old love. The search continues!

Dagg and Stacey Spring/Summer 2010

With the month of May rolling around and green grass and flowers everywhere, Spring is definitely in full swing. All of these pretties from Toronto-based

Dagg and Stacey are just perfect for the season. I love all of my pieces from them and can't wait to pick up something new from their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. So many nice things! My favourite pick may have to be the Bedouin dress in the last photo!

For more info, including a list of shops, visit their website here.

Admiring McQueen

I have been flipping through the 12 looks of Alexander McQueen's final collection on the Cut, New York Magazine's fashion blog.

What amazing construction and beautiful ornate details. Such a huge talent and a huge loss.

I like Marimekko

I spent the afternoon furniture shopping with my Sis and found lots of nice things, but we were well behaved and didn't bring anything home with us, unless you count some brussel sprouts!

So, this evening, I have been perusing a few sites in search of inspiration for a home refresh/re-organize. I love this image found on the Marimekko site. These floor cushions are too fun. I am also enjoying these dresses for Spring 2010, especially the simple yellow and white one. I have some vintage Marimekko fabric that I may have to fashion into a dress one of these days.

Super

I am lovin' my RetroSuperFuture sunglasses. It was the amazing Zeiss sunlenses that sold me. They make the world look so much better! I have barely worn any of my many other pairs of sunglasses since getting my crystal clear pair last Summer. Now Super has collaborated with Liberty & Co. in a limited edition series. I have always enjoyed Liberty prints. I have a few pieces of fabric that I picked up at the shop years ago when my sister did her masters in London. I have not had the heart to cut into them quite yet. Need to think of a good project! Anyhow, I love the print that is emblazoned on these frames. Now I just need to justify yet another pair of shades...

Exworth & Sons

Yesterday I got a nice email from the designer of Exworth & Sons, a fashion line designed and manufactured in Toronto. They used some MoonRox pieces in their photo shoots for Spring/Summer 09 as well as in Fall 09. Shown with the Leopard Pencil Pleated Dress is the Starry Necklace! Currently their website showcases the S/S 09 line, but Fall will be added soon. I'm looking forward to seeing the new season's collection! Check it out here!

Here is a photo of the Starry Necklace up close! It's a show stopper!

If you'd like to shine in one yourself, send an email my way at info[at]moonrox[dot]ca.
