Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and as far as I’m concerned, the bigger the better.  Located in the historic LeMarchand Mansion with a spectacular view of Edmonton’s River Valley, Kline Fine Jewellery & Design (11523-110 Ave., 780-482-6159, klinejewellery.com) is the address for exquisite sparklers that are sure to set your heart aflutter.  The owner is former Edmonton Eskimo’s linebacker and six-time Grey Cup winner, Tom Towns.

The shoe bootie, which I am affectionately calling the shootie, is the quintessential shoe of the season. I can’t wait to wear mine with a cardigan and pencil skirt à la Michael Kors. But the shootie is not just about secretary chic; it will also add a dose of punk to my fall wardrobe when worn with leggings and leather. What other shoe (or boot, for that matter) can claim to be quite so versatile? This gorgeous pair from Donald J Pliner ($525), found at Mayfair Shoes, is a well-stacked heel above the rest.

Many are calling her Canada’s answer to Rihanna, but Kreesha Turner is much, much more than that. The Edmonton-native, turned Toronto-based songstress, just launched her hotly anticipated debut album, Passion (EMI), this past week and this fashionable girl was front and centre at her CD launch party at Revival on College Street in Toronto.
