Although we love the idea of après-ski, when it gets this cold we can’t bring ourselves to do much canoodling with nature.
Thankfully Danielle Zippan, of Toronto-based Zippan Designs, keeps us in touch with the outdoor beauty of winter (and all four seasons) by focusing her artistic talents into handmade jewellery in silver and wood.
After discovering her newly launched retail website (expanding on her existing Etsy shop), we’re swooning over the willowy Oak Tree Cocobolo Pendant ($55). It’s the perfect mix of simple and statement-making (and perfect for transitioning our look from work to wine bar in a flash). And we’re equally in love with the hand-cut Snowflake Necklace ($72), which lets us enjoy the splendour of snowfall without all the shovelling effort.
But when we feel like taking a brief hiatus from the wintry look, we’ll turn to the crafty yet glamorous Star Stud Earrings ($30) and the gorgeous Canada Goose Pendant ($60) to remind us that escaping the wrath of winter is only a short flight or daydream away.
Heck, when winter makes us feel this good, we just might be convinced to canoodle after all.
