I learned about this indie film grants fundraiser event from Annie, a jewelry designer I blogged about last Saturday. One of the fashion designers Annie introduced me to, Rashel from Wanotrix Collection, accessorized her models with Annie’s L’amour Couture designs.

of course they were playing Lady Gaga for this one

I was shopping at the Eaton Centre when I ran into Annie in front of Zara. I’m glad I stopped her. It turns out she’s one of the hottest jewelry designers in Toronto. Check out Annie’s L’amour Couture facebook page here.

Her designs are gorgeous. I was shocked by the affordable price range: most items are between $30 and $50!

And, as if designing jewellry wasn’t cool enough, Annie is also a stylist. You’ll find her at  numerous photo shoots across the country. Having done professional modeling herself, photo shoots are definitely her expertise.

Annie likes to shop at Winners, Zara, H&M, and Urban Outfitters.

When it comes to her personal style, she adjusts her look based on the season.

During the winter she likes to wear edgy pieces, leggings, tights, embellishments…

In the summertime she’ll opt for flowey items, creating a soft look with dresses and high heels.
