Came across these really cool, sort of organic-like rings by Erin Tracy – there are many collections to browse and shop through – including jewels set in wood, concrete and other earthly materials. $$$

Parts & Labour Interior
Monday, September 27th, 2010
Parts & Labour is a Parkdale artsy collab that’s part restaurant, part music venue, part bar. Apparently a magnet for the ‘grown-up’ hipster (and/or the ones with cash), it’s decorated with long communal tables and bar stools re-purposed from truck springs. A myriad of pot lights over the bar are actually recycled fire extinguishers that have been chopped in half and powder coated.
I can’t speak for the food (includes things like fried pig face, sea bass carpaccio, heirloom beets, pickled blueberries); but I love these pics of the interior – Designed by Castor (Brian Richer and Kei Ng).

Marc by Marc Jacobs VisionSpring Tote at Holt Renfrew
Sunday, September 26th, 2010
Gotta love when fashion teams up with a great cause. Available next week is this limited edition Marc by Marc Jacobs tote exclusively designed for Holt Renfrew. Not only is it a steal at $48 but a portion of each sale goes to VisionSpring, an organization that provides eyeglasses throughout the developing world.
The tote comes in four colors blue, pink, black and white. It hits Holt Renfrew locations from September 30- October 10 and is only available in-store on a first-come first-served basis so hurry in!
