I’m loving the shoes from Chloé this season.

Chloé Piped leather sandals

These are pretty and I love the colour.

Chloé Perspex panel platform sandals

Chloé Patent leather sandals

These are so weird they are awesome.

I like the new Chloé, it was time to switch up the brand.

EDIT: Holt Renfew is carrying the silver version of the Piped leather sandals. They are stunning in person, it’s a shame that they aren’t in teal.

Some of the new Stella McCartney for LeSportsac bags are nice. You all know I love the prints.

This is my favourite bag and print. It’s a big bag too. I love big bags

The collection is available for Pre-Order only online at the LeSportSac website. You will not see these in the stores apparently.

EDIT: I’m wrong, you can pick up the collection at Holt Renfrew. Thank you LouLou maybe I won’t let my subscription expire now.

After Phi it was off to Ruffian at the National Arts Club, right besides Gramercy Park. The building is so completely stunning, I was blown away. Unfortunately, it was terrible for pictures with my crappy digital camera so I don’t have any.

The show was an hour late. All the shows I went to were late, but usually only 20 - 30 minutes. The next show, Temperly was waiting for us though. I enjoyed parts of this show. The presentation was amazing, great location and great music. The One Winged Dove Dress in Pomp Pink Satin Faced Organza that Canadian, Lisa Cant wore knocked everyone’s socks off.

The high waisted pants and the jackets were amazing. I loved this set: Bustier Trouser in Clay Pearlized Cotton, McLaran Jacket in Clay Pearlized Cotton. ( I love line sheets, thanks thoughtful designers).

All the clothes that used the white flowered material reminded me of bed sheets and wallpaper. I didn’t like any of the last 3 gowns either. Video of the show is after the jump…

Maria Serrano Shoes

My black gladiator sandals bit the dust early this summer. I replaced them with these white ones. They should last much longer because of the quality upgrade.

Maria Serrano shoes is a Toronto based company that sells shoes made in Argentina.

Our intention is to feature new and different lines of shoes that are beautifully wearable. Every one of our shoes is made in Argentina and exclusive to Canada alone. We will carry limited quantities of each style so running into someone on the street with “your” shoes won’t happen.

I also got these red girly flat shoes, which is a little unusual for me. If I’m wearing flats they are running shoes, so this is a departure.

I purchased them at a small sample sale I was invited to. You can also get her stuff online or at the small number of events she attends. Watch her space for details.

I love the crystal effect on this bag. It’s from the Fall Winter 2007 - 2008 collection.

I never did pick up the Gucci boots at the Now Or Never sale at Holt’s but I did manage to find a pair of Silver heels to satisfy my wanton lust for a pair. They’ve done me well this summer.

I love the style of heel on the shoe and I’m very tempted by the dark plum coloured version.

Danube platforms by Nine West

I always wished to be taller than I am. I currently stand at 5′5″ but I really wanted to be between 5′10″ and 5′11″. It started in high school, I longed for the height because I played basketball and volleyball. I’ve found an artificial way of getting taller and it’s these shoes I picked up from Nine West. They add like 3 to 4 inches, it’s awesome. My shoes look a little different than the picture. The platform doesn’t have the woven finish, it has a plain wood one.

Nine West is having a great sale right now, summer shoes are half off. Have you noticed that Nine West is stocking some hot ass shoes lately

Balenciaga RTW Spring Summer 2007 Video
I posted this previously, but it was to a bad youtube video. I’m hosting a much better version now.

Watch and see how the C3PO leggings should be worn.

Convertible Bag by Antrobus

This is one of my favourite bags ever. All the different compartments and the added clutch and shoulder bag duo are great features.

It’s pricey of course, $1,250USD

So Beyonce bought the CP30 leggings from the Spring Summer 2007. I’m curious to see this look, it’s going to be fugtastic. I can’t imagine her pulling it off, especially if she’s using some fug shirt made by her mom.

So do you think she can pull it off?

Terrence Koh struts around NYC in the Balenciaga leggings with video below. There are pictures of him getting ready, it seems like and intensive process.

More pictures at this link (look for entry - 2007-06-11 15:54:55 - MODEL CITIZENS DEATH IN BALENCIAGA)

Turns out the leggings weren’t $100,000 as previously hyped. but a mere $18,000.
