DIY: Tips for affordable dorm room renos | Washi Tape Canada

According to an August report from Sundale Research, people in the U.S. spent a total of $12.7 billion on gift wrap, including wrapping paper, tissue paper and gift bags, in 2017. What a waste. This is stuff designed to be torn into shreds and tossed away in less than 60 seconds.

I am not alone in this newfound predilection for a style arguably best suited to the grammar-school set. In the past few years, they have been sent down the runway at Chanel (simple black in a half-up hairstyle), Tory Burch (low and loose), and Miu Miu (oversize). Bow-wearing is probably the first thing I’ve had in common with Kate Middleton, sartorially or otherwise, as she has a penchant for a low ponytail topped off with a black velvet style from J.Crew, which cost just $22. It has long since sold out, but royal emulators need not despair—Madewell sells a similar one for $9.50. On Middleton, the style is prim, polished, and preppy. Perhaps the appeal of a bow on a woman whose looks already lean oh-so-innocent is that the accessory pushes just a little too hard, suggesting that maybe, deep down, there’s something sharp in that sweetness. I’m thinking Catherine Deneuve, Audrey Hepburn, Kerry Washington, Nicole Kidman.

My husband of 27 years, Jim, proposed with a ring that he had designed for me, featuring an antique cushion-cut diamond flanked by rubies. He knew that I had a fondness for antique jewellery. I love it, and it unknowingly started a tradition whereby he has given me a different ring for my wedding finger every year we’ve been married.

This particular Christmas Day was the last one Dad spent in his own home as that summer we moved him to the nursing home after he cut the power line with fiberglass-handled clippers. I was cleaning the kitchen when the guys came strolling in with a small wrapped box.

“Some things like these lights become tanglers. Or plastic bags, they start to tangle into the machine, and after so much, it can damage the machine and it can slow the machine down,” Whalen said. 

He felt very strongly that the ring should reflect what I love as a designer: colour. The inside of the band is engraved, which he does a lot. The whole thing was a total surprise and as soon as I saw it I loved it. I said “why aren’t we making this for Larkspur & Hawk?” and he said “no, it’s one-of-a-kind, it’s yours”. I rotate all of the rings he’s given me, they all get worn and are loved.

Yes, they’re plastic and are recyclable, but don’t put them in your curbside recycling bin. The machines that handle your household recycling aren’t designed to handle plastic bags and they can get caught in the machine, slowing down the recycling process.

These slippers ooze luxury, with their suede leather uppers and super soft sheepskin lining and trim. Her feet will be cushioned and wrapped in warmth, making those cold nights nice and cosy – only problem is, she’ll never want to take them off!
