Shop Talk is written by OM senior editor Dayanti Karunaratne and Sarah Fischer, OM account executive and fashion maven.

Last week, we announced a contest that asked SHOP TALK readers to share their love of spring fashion — dangling a pretty piece by Andrea Kolpaska to the lucky winner. We received lots of entries; there was a noticeable desire for bright colours and open-toed shoes, though one reader insisted that no matter the weather, a great pair of boots can be both nostalgic and modern. Thanks for sharing your springtime energy!

This morning we chose the winner by random draw. Interestingly, the winner was one of many who expressed her love for one of the season’s hottest colours: yellow. Congrats — we’re standing by to hear from you!

If you didn’t win, you can still get the issue, full of beautiful, locally-designed jewellery. It’s on the news stands for another few weeks.
