    Event LOVE: @Swarovski Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation


    IMG_0747

    We were invited to the Swarovski Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation on Thursday, and as per usual it was LOVELY! The collection boasts a plethora of beautiful, sparkly and shiny pieces with intricate details and the prettiest of colours. I. Was. In. Heaven. Spring is a time of new beginnings, renewal, warmer weather, and the prettiest colours, and that’s exactly what the Swarovski Spring/Summer 2014 Collection gave us. In true Bella fashion, once I got all my pictures I took off my coat and all my jewellery and tried on some of my favourite pieces; my hands even hit the “red carpet” decked out in Swarovski bling!

    IMG_0687

    It’s such a pretty, colourful and fresh collection, and even boasted some pieces that I’ve never seen them do before, i.e. the tribal necklace (which I LOVED!). I mentioned how intricate these pieces were, but my words couldn’t possibly come close to describe, just how beautiful and intricate they are so you’re just going to have to see for yourself!

    Enjoy!

    Event LOVE: @Swarovski Fall/Winter 2013/14 Collection Preview

    PicsArt_1366765795799

    We were recently invited to view Swarovski’s Fall/Winter 2013 Collection. The event was held over at the luxurious Shangri-la Hotel (so fitting) in downtown Toronto, and the room was beautifully decorated with gorgeous displays of the collection. I never know what to expect from Swarovski; but what I do know is that it never disappoints, I’m always blown away, I ooh, aah, and drool a little , and there are always so many beautiful pieces, and this was definitely the case that evening. You’ll see by my pictures that I tried so hard to hold all the excitement back (loves me some shiny thangs!), but ultimately failed, as I tried on pretty much everything and was acting a damn fool 🙂 I also got to hang out with some of my favourtie bloggers. I had fun!

    20130423_191719

    Here are some of my favourite pieces, which is pretty much the entire collection!

    Super fun times! I was totally out of breath and so overwhelmed by all the beautiful pieces! I took over 150 pictures, and for the sake of not having a super long post, I’ll make an album so that you guys can check out the rest of pics from that night 🙂

    Thank you so much to Swarovski for always inviting us, and for allowing us to view such a beautiful collection!

    Happy weekend 🙂

    Event LOVE: @nikiandlola pop-up shop

    “Boy meets girl. They get married, and have kids. She designs jewellery, and he makes it. That is where the story begins.”

    Yesterday I went over to Sweet Woodruff flower shop to celebrate the launch of Niki & Lola’s “early nomad” capsule collection. I first saw a Niki & Lola piece on Angie a few months ago, and pretty much lost my marbles, so when I got the invite to the Niki & Lola pop-up shop event, there was just NO WAY that I was going to miss it. I loved every single piece in the collection. I love the simplicity, the attention to detail, I especially love how all the pieces have this strength to them, while being delicate at the same time. My faves were the shield ring, the kingdom necklace, and there was this crazy cuff  (I can’t remember what it was called but I LOVED it… I think it was called the Polygonia cuff).

    This cuff WILL be mine one day. Love. Love. Love.

    The shield rings!

    want.

    need.

    Angie and Michael 🙂

    The Agny Spear necklace

    The Kingdom necklace. LOVE.

    I love them both. yes.

    Kourtney and Charise 🙂

    love.

    The genius behind Niki & Lola

     omg… love

    The Astra bangle

    well done guys!!

    my love…

    Tricia Hall was there too 🙂

    I had to 🙂

    A HUGE thank you to Angie and Michael for allowing us to share in this special occasion. Wishing you all the best!!

    peace and love
