JOHN HARDY DESIGNER EXCLUSIVE: GUY BEDARIDA

What a pleasure City Style and Living had, as we were the FIRST CANADIAN PUBLICATION to have an exclusive with renown head designer at John Hardy Jewellry, Guy Bedarida, when the designer made a personal appearance at Holt Renfrew in Calgary.

Monsieur Bedarida works in Bali, where his vision is carried out. His designs range from simple silver cuffs, earrings, and bracelets, to inctricate jewel encrusted one-of-a-kind pieces (google the cinta naga bracelet with aquamarine). The statement jewellery, made by hand truly is something to behold, and we were honoured to meet the designer face to face.

Look for a full feature on this designer in a future issue of City Style and Living magazine (Spring 2010, http://www.citystyleandliving.com).

JUST BACK FROM...TOBAGO

This is the plane ride there - rainbows and all.

Tobago is world renowned for its coral reefs and beautiful aqua water - just look at that colour.

Immortel trees, palms and beyond a small peek of the Caribbean ocean. What a view.

A frangipani bouquet freshly picked, awaits a vase.

Dining on lobster for dinner.


Sunset in Tobago - breathtaking.

Some beautiful flowers encountered during a hike.

Some of us here at CSL enjoyed a wonderful trip to Tobago in the Caribbean. Lots of sunny days, beaches galore, amazing food (see lobster above), hikes, marvellous sunsets, bird watching, snorkeling....and a few surprises too. Look out for our Spring 2010 issue (out in March 2010) for more on this destination.
