fancy hands/the woodlands

remember that month where i updated on a semi-regular basis? and then there was that time where it was new year's eve and i though 'hey! my resolution is to update my blog at least twice a week!' and then, as is to be expected, i didn't follow through. it happens. i'm sorry! really, i am!

wanna know what i'm gonna do to make it up to you? first, i'm going to give you a fancy little post right below!


and the bestest part....


i'm going to bedeck you with gifts! real, tangible gifts! real, tangible, handmade with love GIFTS!

in the coming week, i will post exact details of the giveaway prizes and how to enter the contest but in the meantime i want you to be prepared. all you need to do is make sure you're a follower of 'share your love' so get your blogger account set up, click the little follow button, and wait in anticipation for free shit! yesss!
and now, without further ado....

two summers ago, when i was a religious sartorialist follower, i came upon this snap of hipster crowd-favourite, cc sheffield. yes, her hair is the best (that fringe!) and her romper is the perfect mix of sexy and cute, but that's all secondary. HER HAND! look how she uses an intricate henna (mehndi) design on her hand to jazz up an otherwise plain and simple outfit!

ever since seeing that picture i've been determined to make my way down to gerrard street and get my own little 'tattoo' in the heart of toronto's india bazaar. as with all my other exploits, i've delayed the event (right now i'm waiting for the warm weather to return, you see)! to bide myself over until then, i've been scouring the net for other fancy hands ideas. look what i found!


it's a handchain by the woodland and it rules! forget that its paired with that bad ass ring or killer fur (har har), that chain manages to be so rocker yet so dainty, all on its own. the woodland also makes full body chains - please and thank you!

but now as i patiently wait for the summer when the henna artists set up their booths along gerrard street, i'll be loading my fingers with rings instead.
