Last week, to celebrate my hubby's birthday, we headed up to Toronto for a weekend trip. I've tried putting myself on a 1-month shopping fast so as to re-gain control of my spending, but still allowed myself to buy a few accessories. On one of our days, we walked Queen Street (a bohemian-esque part of downtown Toronto) and I came across an adorable boutique that specializes in Peruvian jewelry/accessories. The owner informed me that she makes regular trips down to Peru to find interesting artists and then exports them to Canada. The jewelry is a tad on the pricey side for the quality, but I just love the novelty and uniqueness of the pieces. She carries handbags, necklaces, brooches, earrings, etc. and each piece of jewelry comes in it's own mini-dust bug (I am a sucker for packaging). The necklaces have this cool drawstring contraption in the back, so you can adjust the length of the necklace (see pictures below - I tried doing a video, but couldn't figure out how to load it on YouTube, then gave up). I will definitely be visiting this site to make more purchases when I am in search of the special something to complete an outfit - Check it out for yourself:

Readers - where do you like to go to get your favorite accessories?

| Sorry for the blurry picture, but I wanted to include this so you can see where the necklaces typically hit (again, the length is adjustable - see pictures below). |

| Necklace with drawstrings in back pulled to shortest length. |

| Necklace with drawstrings pulled so that necklace drops lower. |
