We have received some really amazing photos and stories for our Summer Style Contest. Email your photo and caption in to alicia@plum.ca for a chance to win a $150 Plum GC!

Some of our favourites so far are:

Christine sends us a stunning photo of one of her favourite spots last summer - Positano, Italy!

How nice does this look? A quiet spot in the middle of busy downtown, Karen loves to relax at the Vancouver Art Gallery Patio on a sunny day.

Elaine shows us how to parasail in style! She loves spending her summers in hot Osoyoos, BC.

Not only does Elisha look fashionable on her hike, she's wearing Plum! She celebrated her first anniversary last summer on a hike along the river at Bow Falls in Banff, Alberta.

A gorgeous photo of Elina looking at Woods Lake in Oyama, BC. Looks like a great escape on a summer weekend!

Nikki enjoys her summer days at Quail's Gate Winery in the Okanagan. We love her dress too!

Marie shows us the views from Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence, Italy at sunset.

Jorge looks great in her summer frock and the backdrop overlooking Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, BC.

Several times a year, Claudia and I go on a jewellery buying expedition – and this one was the best yet.

We have just returned from a huge trade show with exotic jewellery from around the world. There were literally thousands of designs to choose from.

Bangles by the wrist full, leather studded cuffs, multi wrap leathers with metal and glass beads...

Boho tribal looks... gobs of pearls for layering Gaga style… and every conceivable neckpiece in between. And even some middle finger rings and semi-precious earrings!

Shopping days are full of long hours, but they're also fun … and together we know we are unbeatable in our taste for the best adornments on the planet!

Almost everything is in Plum stores now.

We know it will be difficult for you to decide which ones to get so to make it easier until May 23rd, get 50% off your second piece of jewellery.

Get all the juicy details here.

Now's your chance to do me, Plum's buyer, a favour. What kind of jewellery fits your style?

One of my favourite things about my job is buying the jewellery for Plum. Recently I had the opportunity to go to a huge trade show with jewellery from all over the world . It is so much fun to see all the different styles from many different countries, there truly was something for everyone!

In the last couple of weeks we got in some fabulous semi precious jewels from places like Thailand, India, and Nepal. Everyone in the design department was going crazy when it arrived! It has that great tribal feel for the bohemian in us. We also recently got in some great little charms in burnished brass for those of us that sometimes like something a bit daintier.

I have a ton of fashion jewellery that I've collected over the years. My mom gave me a great tip on how to organize jewellery that is simple and inexpensive. She cut the lids off the egg cartons and sorted her jewels by colour and then stacked them. What a great way to keep your special pieces sorted!
