I’m on the hunt for wide-legged jeans. I like the elegant, slouchy look made famous by Katharine Hepburn in the 1930s, and it seems just the thing for summer, paired with a white T-shirt and a couple of strands of pearls.

As for the skinny jeans that have held all our wardrobes in vice-like grip for years: it was fun, now it’s done. Or so I think. Vogue and the occasional fashion blogger agree with me — hello, Roslyn Costanzo at Style Forage!

But the retailers are thwarting me at every turn. Where-oh-where are women finding those nice wide-legged denims I see on Vancouver streets now and then?

I suppose I could just accost the strangers wearing them and demand their shopping secrets?

Hmmm… on second thought, there might be some problems with that strategy.

If you find some secreted away somewhere, please let me know.

Aside

Getting by with a little help from my friends

Yesterday’s spring spruce-up trunk show, hosted by Casa Home Decor, was great fun. I really appreciate Nadine Miller inviting me and my baubles to come by. We shared space with her sleek felt home accessories, like this gorgeous storage bag.

Expanding a small business is scary and I can’t say enough good things about all the people who, like Nadine, have been helping me along the way. Like the friends, and friends-of-friends, who pass out my business cards when people comment on their jewellery. Or the people who “like” my Facebook page and make sure more people see my gems. If you retweeted shots of my photos in Twitter — thank you, too!

Yesterday I met people who heard about my trunk show through my friends at Jacqueline Conoir, the fashion design house. Other new customers arrived courtesy of my favourite manicurist Edita, at Nails By, who has very kindly been handing out my cards (as well as rescuing my nails).

I’ve been overwhelmed by their generosity. Some days I can’t believe how lucky I am to have stumbled into such a wonderful community.

For me the sign that it’s really spring isn’t the cherry blossoms, it’s my first trunk show. Can’t wait for Wednesday
