Britta Ambauen Jewelry – Small Business Style

by Tazim Damji

alexandrite necklace

A beautiful piece of jewelry that brings more love and luck in to my life. One of my favourite things to do during the holiday season is to support local businesses, artists and independent brands. Getting my friends and family unique, beautiful gifts from independent brands is such a joy. The fact that I can do so from the comfort of my home, with a cup of coffee and sweet treats to keep me going, is just icing on the cake. PinkLion is an online boutique where artists and designers can ...

My Favourite Ways to Achieve Style on a Budget.

by Tazim Damji

budget style

Gold? Silver? Who can choose sometimes? With this necklace, I feel like I always win. Clothing can be really pricey, and so can shoes. True, those are two ways to show your style and personality—but my favourite is actually with accessories like jewelry! A plain outfit can easily and inexpensively be jazzed-up with a necklace and some earrings. O.co has a selection that I love, including the DB Designs Two-tone Rose Gold over Silver Diamond Heart Necklace (ARV $53 CAD).   ...

Shiny Holiday Event-Ready Earrings from Jolica

by Tazim Damji

Jolica earrings silver

A simple outfit can take you from day (office) to night (party), add these sparkly silver earrings from Jolica, and you're set to go! I can't say that I'm exactly a party-person, in fact I try to avoid most crowded social scenes, but I do get quite a few invitations to store openings, media events and the like—and they are usually after work! Because I don't like to dress up too much to sit at work for 8 hours, I typically just dress up my usual business-casual outfit with some jewelry. ...

MAI Made As Intended – Positivity for the Rest of Us

by Tazim Damji

mai shirt

Confession time - I've never considered myself to be a happy person, I've always been content. . .with being content. I'm trying to make some positive changes in my life in the new year (though December is a big improvement over November already!) so this sort of over-the-top positivity is just what I need in my life. The t-shirt and Blessing Bracelet that I received from Made As Intended will help sail me in to a much more positive year in 2013. You've heard of wearing  your heart on your ...

Jolica Fair Trade Jewelry Review & #Giveaway $75 Gift Card US/Canada 05/21— Mother’s Day Gift Guide

by Tazim Damji

Far from ordinary, the Jolica Earrings I received to review are made of silver, are elegant and fun at the same time. While many mothers may have a fair sized collection of jewelry already, the pieces from Jolica are much more unique than the average jewelry items you find in department stores. I received the JE892 earrings, made in Peru. These earrings are simply styled, yet really beautiful. I'm really impressed with the weight of these—I like to know I'm wearing my earrings or else I keep ...

Handmade Eco-Friendly Jewelry by Casalinda Studio

by Tazim Damji

Inspired by California native flowers, mudcracks, and other natural elements, Casalinda Studio draws inspiration from the mountains, deserts, and ocean of Southern California. The handmade jewelry from Casalinda Studio comes highly recommended by me. Read my review of the Mud Cracks Necklace. I love knowing the personal story of the artists behind the jewelry. When someone comments on the beautiful necklace, I am able to tell them how a mother/daughter team Linda DaPra and Jennifer ...
