Make It Calgary; She's So

Have you seen this, feathers in hair trend? I've been sporting feathered hair clips for years now, but I recently just saw these feathered hair extensions a week ago at my hairstylist's. The ones she showed me were clamped in by heat, but at Make It Calgary, I found some sold by a vendor called She's So that offered a couple of options: 1) You clamp the feathers to your hair and they stay in for a month, or 2) you clip in a  clip like the kind on temporary hair extensions that you can take out whenever you want. I opted for the second option.

Here I am with them clipped in.

 The one I got has red, turquoise, and yellow.

I recently gave myself a lil makeover: red hair courtesy of the aforementioned hairdresser, and Ray Ban glasses.

I love them! The way I clipped them in, they were really subtle, and you couldn't really see them unless I swished my hair back.

Make It Calgary; Rabbit Boutique

Next up from Make It Calgary is Rabbit Boutique. They're from Calgary, and are graduates of the Alberta College of Art and Design.

I bought something from this booth and it is a pretty rad acorn necklace. I will show you:

It was $40, and I think it's simply an extremely laquered real acorn.
Rabbit Boutique is a collective of a bunch of Alberta designers and the stuff they carry really depends on who the designer is. But one thing's for certain: it's bound to be awesome.

Make It Calgary; heyday design

Next on my tour of Make It! Calgary is heyday design from Vancouver. They make these amazing vintage porcelain jars, which I didn't get a photo of at the fair, so I'll have to yank some pics off the website.

My favourite is the beaver jar ($85):

I did, however, get a picture of some of the jewelery.

Isn't the record display pretty rad? I love the geometric shapes of the jewelery, especial in black with gold accent. Here's one you can see better:

Heyday Design has lots of places in Canada where her stuff is sold. Just check the website to find out if there's a store near you. Or you can shop on the online shop!

Make It Calgary; Cloud+Lolly

Selby and I went to Make It! Calgary this weekend. It's a fair of handmade goods, with artists and vendors from all over the place, but mostly from British Columbia and Alberta. They have three fairs: Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver.

There were lots of great exhbitors and this week I'd like to show you a few of my favourites and also showcase the couple of things I bought!

I'll start with a vendor I didn't buy anything from but was really sweet nonetheless: Cloud+Lolly. They had these great accessories adorned with resin flowers, like this:

I can't seem to find any of these flower accesories for sale online, but they had earrings, headbands, hairpins, and much more.

Cloud+Lolly is a team of sisters who make lovely accessories. They're based in Edmonton.

Love their animal brooches, like this adorbs fox ($25):

Or these wooden rings ($25):

Up tomorrow: ceramics!
