Win jewels from Anne-Marie Chagnon

If you're like me, there are a few things in your fashion repertoire that are almost guaranteed to invite compliments from others. Mine includes jewelry by Montreal designer Anne-Marie Chagnon. Compliments every single time.



Lucky for you Anne-Marie is at the Toronto One of a Kind show through December 4. And while you're shopping for friends and family, be sure to drop off this ballot to booth T-38 for a chance to win these matching earrings and bracelet (value $300). This contest runs the duration of the OOAK show, so you have until next weekend to drop off your ballot (one ballot per person). The winner will be announced here!

Bring completed ballot to booth T-38 for a chance to win!

Love U, Love Your Heart

Valentine's Day gets a tough rap, with many declaring it a "commercial holiday." Yes, to a large degree it's true. We are inundated with so much tacky, heart-shaped stuff the day has lost any connection to true, undying love or St. Valentine, the patron saint of lovers. 

At Style & Conscience, a locally produced and socially responsible clothing line run by Montréal Couture, Valentine's Day is about a different kind of heart. Last week Style & Conscience presented an exclusive accessory collaboration with Denis Gagnon that benefits the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Québec.

Gagnon has designed the "I Love U" mini-collection that includes a signature leather handbag (named Stéphanie), a silk scarf (named Alexandra) and a keychain (Amélie). Each item was named after 8-year-old triplets of Dr. Nicolas Noisieux, an important volunteer for the Foundation. 
Sold separately or as a trio, the production is locally manufactured on demand only, with 20% of the sales going to finance Heart and Stroke Foundation's research projects. And that is something we can totally love.
