Alex Monroe

We have met so many wonderful people in St. John's since we have moved here. One of our friends, who is from England has been so happy because his girlfriend is here visiting and we were fortunate enough to hang out with her. Not only was she dressed amazingly but she had the most beautiful jewelry I have ever seen. Upon asking here where she got it from, she told me it was Alex Monroe, an English Designer and I was instantly in love. The collection is so whimsical as it entails everything from beautiful birds and bees to enchanted little watering cans!! Make sure to check it out!! I know that I have just started my savings account to one of these beauties!!

These rings are from the Eyebright Collection and are only just a glimpse of what the collection has to offer!!  I love the aquamarine one in the middle!!

And of course, since I  spend my summer working with bees, I am absolutely smitten with this little bee necklace!! I would love, love love to have one!!

Love, 

Karen

A Sunday Drive.....

Since we have moved to St. John's, we have started a bit of a habit of going for Sunday Drives. While I thoroughly enjoy these countryside drives, we primary take these drives so that Dominic can search out  potential surf spots. As we are never really sure where we are going, since we sometimes drive a little, sometimes walk a little, and sometimes we even hike a little, I am always unsure of what to wear!! I am however, getting a lot better at learning how to dress for the weather here in St. John's. I have learnt that on any given day, and at any given time it may rain, snow, sleet, hail, be cloudy or sunny etc etc. 

One way to get around this rapid changing weather is to layer, layer, layer - I can't stress that enough. I have been finding all sorts of layering options in my wardrobe - giving me a ton of possibilities. While I have been mostly wearing black and dark colors this winter - the sun on Sunday inspired me to put some color on!!! My entire outfit was actually inspired by the necklace that I am wearing in the photos - I think it looks a bit like a Free People add. Anyways, the necklace is made by my super creative, super talented friend Jordan Zakoor. Make sure to take a good look because I am going to giving a necklace from her collection away later on this week!!

Dominic particularly enjoyed these photos because just behind me is a newly found surf spot, but unfortunately for him it was flat!!
