Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Centenaire Watch

Formally should be called “Perfume Bottle Collectors.”  I guess we all are!  More than often we buy perfume because the bottle looks good, isn’t it?  Well…I just found the prettiest perfume bottle design from Van Cleef & Arpels (Van Cleef in short).  This may not be new, we I rarely see stores that actually sell it.  I guess it’s because of the brand, that is not really popular in Canada.  I’ve known Van Cleef from their extraordinary jewelry and watch design; which of course, are extremely expensive as well.  Not until I first saw the Féerie perfume…I thought this is something that I could afford.  Not like they are as expensive as the Creed, still…they are not cheap, but it’s totally worth it.  They are actually the only perfume that I bought without even knowing anything about scent.  (Usually I tried at least)  Take a look at them and you’ll agree!!

Holt Renfrew – Bloor Street held a Kenneth Jay Lane (KJL) event on Wednesday, 9th September, 2009.  It was a private event for the event after the store closed and I was lucky enough to be on the guest list.  I’ve always love KJL’s costume jewelry because his collections had great versatility in the use of material, and the colour choices were spectacular.  Well…I wasn’t allow to take pictures, so I got shots from the window display that they put up excusively for the event, and the items that I purchased.  They also include the”Faking It” book from KJL with his autograph for everyone who made a purchase.

I don’t particularly like snakes, including snakes accessories. Every year, there is something represent luck for each Chinese zodiac; unfortunately, in the year of Ox, snack is the chosen one to bring me my luck.  So to make myself like it more, I started to look for accessories designed with snakes.  I bought this really cool black crystal snake ring fom Thomas Sabo when I was traveling in HK and I started to love it, I got so much compliment on it.  Well…I guess they are not so hard to approach after all.
