Vancouver: Rocaille’s jewellery goes for baroque
Ada bracelet, $375
For some people, money talks. But for Vancouver’s Amanda He, it wasn’t enough. After leaving a career as an investment banker for her true passion, design, she launched Rocaille (rocaille-design.com), a collection of sparkly necklaces and bracelets that are perfect as holiday dress accoutrements or, of course, gifts. He named her line after the opulent, romantic rococo style that originated in 18th century Europe and the logo, two seahorses comes from the designer’s favourite piece of jewellery, a 1950s seahorse brooch she found in Portland. Rocaille’s one-of-a-kind pieces are part art deco, part modern drama, part playful and fun—and perfect for a winter fête.

The daily steal: Crystal-clear eyewear, $96
My friend Mary has a wardrobe of glasses, which she procures for a song at an as yet undisclosed location. I’m a little jealous. Or I was until the exciting news that online-only eyewear outfit Warby Parker (warbyparker.com) has started shipping to Canada. These crystal clear Fillmore frames from WP’s collaboration with Steven Alan are a mere US$95. Including lenses! The same unbelievable price applies to the tangerine-hued Coltons, sandalwood Huxleys I love, as well as every other pair on the site. Now who’s got the enviable eyewear collection?
