The best jewelry is found in the most obscure places. Seeing someone don an adorable Hello Kitty Key necklace peaked my interest in the Foxy Originals brand. It’s a rapidly growing jewelry line based out of Toronto, has spawned the interests of celebrities worldwide, and the interest of fashionistas locally. Their six trendy jewelry themes in their line sparked my interest particularly because it appears to have high quality and great design come at an affordable price. My favourite items would have to be in the “Monsoon” line, with intricate designs and gorgeous colour.

The brand was started while Suzie Orol and Jen Kluger were still students at the University of Western Ontario. They’re inspired by their genuine passion for jewelry and their keen business sense. Check out the Q&A with them after the jump

Mathieu Missiaen epitomizes urban art, and doodling talent in his brand NDEUR. First gaining international recognition out of Toronto, the Parisian originally teamed up with THE RAGE in Kensington Market (blogged about earlier) to create something genuine and new with his keen artistic eye. His creations include intricate street-style drawings on vintage women’s heels, sneakers, and virtually any flat surface. Rather than read the buzzwords that I’m throwing around, hear and see from himself after the jump.
