With everyone racing around and packing their bags for the first of many long weekends, we sent the Coveteur team to find out where some of our favorite editors, photographers, and designers are going to get away from it all—and most importantly, what they’re taking with them.

Latest Obsession: pinterest.com

I came across this website awhile back and have been obsessed with it ever since. Pinterest.com is a virtual pin board a place were you can create collections of things you love & follow collections created by people with great taste. The thing I really love about this site that is unlike any other is that you can then categorize your pictures into groups (think... flowers, wedding inspiration, bags...) It's really like an online database of all images that inspire you.

DIY: Celine Inspired Clutch

 American Apparel pouch + acrylic paint. Its that easy.

Step one: All you need is a leather pouch, acrylic paint in white and the color bright color of your choice, paint brush, painters tape, blow dryer & acrylic coating spray (shown later) and good tunes to listen to.
Step two: Mark off the area you want to paint with painters tape. If you are a real perfectionist you can measure it out to make sure it is even on both sides or trust your insticts and eye ball it like I did.
Step three: Mix white acrylic paint with a bit of water for first layer to help it adhere to the leather. Start brushing onto leather from tape down to avoid too much leakage under the tape. (As tedious as you can be I'm sorry to say this still happens.)
Step four: After the white dries, bring out the neon guns and do the same without water added. The white acts as a primer so that your color will pop bright against the muted leather. I used a blow dryer during this process because I couldn't take the waiting in between layers to paint. Works miraculously to get an even coat.
Step five: When you're finally satisfied with the painted color cover the non painted leather with paper or cover with a magazine of some sort. Last minute I didn't like the feeling of the rough paint so ran to the craft store for glossy acrylic spray coat. This helps protect the paint from water and wear while also giving it a soft smooth finish like the leather!

Introducing: Bow

I haven't been this excited about posting something like this in a very long time. One of my favorite shops in Guelph has just introduced it's latest addition BOW. She has transformed an ordinary trailer into a Blush worthy shop on wheels. This is such an amazing idea ... think of all the amazing girls nights and shopping events. Contact Michele at blushshop@gmail.com if you are interested in having BOW come to a neighborhood near you.
