I love delicate charms and styles that can withstand the test of time when it come to my jewelry. My two favourite pieces this season are from Lisbeth Jewelry. I am wearing either one or the other around my neck and sometimes both at the same time.

The “Ave” necklace ($86) is a lustre of textured vermeil circle pendants that hang delicately from a 23″ gold fill chain. I liked this one so much I also bought it in sterling silver ($82). What I love about this piece is that it works so nicely with a dress blouse as well as with my basic v-neck tee-shirt. The length of the necklace sits just perfectly across my collarbone.

The “Tanya” necklace ($89) is a collection of unique hand carved rings in … more …

Just came across this new local company, mobile dry-cleaning by Dressed In Blue - a service where they come to your office or home to pick up your dry-cleaning, and within 2 days, return it right back to you. You don’t have to be there when they pick it up, just leave any detailed instructions with your bag of clothes.

There is no fee for the pick up/delivery as long as you meet a minimum service of $15.00. Prices are at par with regular dry-cleaning services - a basic shirt launder costs $3.25, a pair of pants $8.45 and a 2 piece suit is $18.95. You pay for service after you receive the clothes back with any major credit card.

If you ever dreamed about taking light, floating in the air like a hot air balloon or perhaps drifting away like a kite, I think you would deeply appreciate the mono clothing “flight” capsule collection. Every piece is designed with airy movements in mind and made with top quality knits and jerseys.

Come August 5 2010, the first edition of the mono nomadic shop will open in Vancouver called the MONOSHOP: PROVISIONAL and the space will feature the FLIGHT 2.0 collection along with several installations and 2 film works. It will stay open until September 11, 2010 and the space will then be overhauled and transformed into a showroom space that will showcase the next series, EQUILIBRIUM.

If you’d like to get your hands some of these exclusive pieces before August … more …

A colleague of mine recommended a new noshing spot called the Twisted Fork Bistro, located on Granville Street, Vancouver BC. This quaint resto with rustic decor serves up simple, classic french dishes. If you plan on a weekend brunch, be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes for a table. Their brunch menu is $11 for everything and you can get bottomless french press coffee for $3. Their ketchup is homemade and their freshly made jams are also sold by the jar.  Shall I continue?

Be prepared to eat, their portions are generous. Their banana stuffed brioche french toast is so generous I truly think it’s made for two and the Gruyere baked eggs with sourdough toast is simply delicious.
