    Learning to surf isn’t pretty, but after a toss in the tide, I like to layer on Karenjess jewellery (karenjess.com) to at least appear effortlessly beach chic. Cast from real shells found at beaches dear to designer Karen Hendry—including her hometown of Vancouver and Tofino, B.C., the site of my first surf lesson—she debuted with silver necklaces and this season branched into both bangles and bronze. At Sitka (1864 W. Fourth Ave., 604-568-9935, sitkasurfboards.com).
