    Pretty Rocker Chic – 12 Days of Giveaways

    For Day 5 of “12 Days of Giveaways”, I met with Colleen Poitras, the owner and designer behind “Pretty.Rocker.Chic Accessories”, an eclectic jewelry line handcrafted right here in Milton. Colleen envelopes an original style sensibility with her use of materials, marrying leather with concrete, metals, crystals and semi precious stones. I love the juxtaposition of tough + pretty when it comes to clothing and accessories and this line is just that! It is great for any of us who want to add a bit of rocker edge to our everyday look. Colleen makes so many different types of jewelry you can find something for everyone on your Holiday shopping list. She tells me that ‘leather and other textured materials are something everyone can wear…it’s just about finding the right piece for you!” This line is so versatile whereas there are items that can be worn as a necklace, a wrapped cuff as well as a waist chain. Each piece is also customizable- you have the option to choose the colour of leather you would like. And we can’t forget the men in our lives, Colleen even has a really cool men’s line that feature customizable cuffs links and pendants! GIVEAWAY The Leather Essential EarringsFeaturing a metal hoop suspended from a grey leather strip. They are lightweight and delicate with just a hint of a rocker vibe.
