Arm Candy


I like beets, I like beats, and I think Beetle Juice is fricken fantastic movie. Random is wicked- insanity is under rated. Creativity trumps. Fresh ideas smash the status quo. Reality; is a wild card. Inspiration comes from all sources. 

My hometown, Banff Alberta Canada, Is my inspiration. I love it there; i find peace in the mountains. I find   inspiration through the mosaic of culture, nature, and personalities. I was home for a few weeks this summer and enjoyed browsing the shops. 

costume jewelery is a semi obsession of mine. I love. I found these bracelets made of old toys; and instantly wanted to create.




 Hot Wheels; arm candy.

Hot Wheels Hair

The 90's are a blur of freakishly fun childhood memories for me. I grew up in Banff Alberta and as a result of being super into snowboarding and other such endeavours- I learned boy toys were cool? 

My brothers had mad amounts of hot wheels and a creepy crawlers which they baked in an oven. I was Kinda envious. I mean- Really? I'm supposed to make a cake in my easy bake; when they get to produce bugs to use against me- not fair.


I tried to like their toys, and to understand how to play with them. I Didn't quite get it though. I'm a girly girl, and instead of racing the cars around some sort of daredevil course I was concerned with their wear-ability. So, I devised ways to fashion them into my wardrobe. Today- I finally figured it out. 

Introducing my hot wheels hair- now my dream car has just become a perfect or strangely innovative accessory. 

Yes you too, can accessorize with childhood memories.
