18 karat design

November 9, 2009

I am having some issues with this post. I read Style at Home, and they often feature the Vancouver store 18 Karat, and then I read blogs and see how ‘fabulous’ it is…………. the problem? when I visit the website, I am a little less excited…… (sorry, but maybe it’s just me?) however, I found some good finds (and also a few good pictures…I do like the store front!!!) and if you are ever in the Vancouver area (cough cough, certain someones….) then check it out and let me know!
