It's nice to be finally back in Toronto. It has been years and years since I last set foot in my country!
I am slowly rebuilding a life here. Canadians are so lovely so adjusting hasn't been so tough. The only thing that bothers me is all the concrete and motorways. I don't think I could ever get used to it. I need a good dose of pretty in my life..preferably by way of buildings, gardens, and cobblestone streets.
There is, however, a place here in Toronto that I have fallen madly in love with. Mount Pleasant (near Eglington) is lined with antique shops, novelty shops, candy shops, small restaurants, and vintage stores. Totally up my alley.
The vast quantity of malls overwhelmed me on my first week. I hate malls so upon discovering this little nook where one need to walk the streets to land upon another shop made me breathe a sigh of relief.
I met the loveliest antique dealers too and had some pretty great chat with them. My favorite is Mr. Kourosh Katirai who owns Antiques On Mt. Pleasant and is Persian by descent. He saw me going through his vintage jewelry section and exclaimed how I looked like I've been looking for old baubles all my life. Of course, this made me instantly love him.
I went ahead and shopped in his amazing treasure trove. Soon I zoomed in on a beautiful art deco clip and knew I had to add it to my collection. When I brought my money up the till to pay for it, Mr. Kouroush told me that he wanted to give it to me as a gift. I was very grateful but told him I wouldn't want him to lose business. Alas,upon his insistence I accepted his generosity.
Check out the rest of his shop.
Apart from baubles, he has a great collection of light fixtures and crystals as well.

To top of my amazing week, I received a parcel in the post this week. Brian sent me a pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses! I was squealing the whole night because I couldn't get over how perfect they were. (My auntie can attest to this. Her ears may still be bleeding.)
It was packed so well with a complete set of authenticity cards, lens cloth and hard case. Brian sells different high end brand sunnies so check his website out to find the perfect pair for you at an amazing price. I have found mine and I have been wearing them on a daily basis.
Thanks again, Brian!

I'm so blessed. Over my birthday, I got so many magnificent presents from people whom I love dearly. Now, Im the type of person who shrieks at the sight of a shiny box/red envelope/greeting card. And Im pretty certain echos of my screams are heard as far as the Antarctic.
This birthday was made more special by the fact that my grandmother had passed down the most beautiful old mine cut navette diamond ring that had once belonged to my great grandmother. It's beautiful, sparkly and flawed...but imperfection is what makes antique diamonds so charming! (I find that flawlessness is usually a most annoying trait in people and things.) She handed the navette to me along with 2 other gold rings stuffed inside the most amazing antique carved wooden chest. I'll showcase them another time (along with the most gorgeous diamond earrings and Indian necklace encrusted with gems given to me by my mother) since they are in the care of my jeweler for resizing and cleaning.
Apart from family gems and heirlooms, I also got this beautiful stingray cuff with sapphires and an amethyst drop given to me by my dear friend Lucille Dizon. It is a stunner, just like the designer herself. I wore it the entire week and it will undoubtedly make a repeat appearance in posts to come.
As with every piece of jewelry ever given to me, I will treasure this generous gift of yours forever.
Thank you, Luch!
To all my family and friends who greeted me and who have been so generous, thank you!
My birthday was beautiful because of all of you.

Wearing lingerie (from Cherry Pop Lingerie! Thank you Kay!) as outerwear for our ARANAZ sale held over the weekend! It was packed with bag crazy ladies (and the occasional bored boyfriend/husband) who lined up even before the store opened, eager to get their hands on their favorite bag!
Before the madness began...

I'm back home and I can't but feel both happy and sad.
Some shots taken while I was packing my flat. The room was a mess. Everything was flying everywhere. I had nothing to wear except for this beach cover-up thing..but I couln't resist making good use of the beautiful light coming from the Scottish summer sun.
