Girls Come First: Vice Magazine/Rimmel Party

I went to the Girls Come First: Vice Magazine/Rimmel Party on Friday. For the first 2 hours of the party it was only women. The bar was free and there was lots of good food going around so it was pretty nice. The gallery was completely barren, it was literally a white box, some artwork would have been wonderful to see. A lot of girls lined up for the make up and manicures that were available. Styles were all over the place and I can’t say any one look dominated the night. There were some things that caught my eye enough to photograph.

Cute ass dunks. I’m not a Nike fan, but I would buy these. I even guessed where she bought them from, Goodfoot. I’m so damn good.

I cut this poor girl’s head off a bit, but I was really concerned about the dress. Proenza Schouler from Target. It was $35 dollars and so beautiful.

i got, then returned

I purchased two items from the Gap Designer Collections, a Thakoon dress and a Rodarte shirt. The dress I was iffy from the start but I took it home to try it on with shoes and all that. It didn’t fit the way I would have liked.

I am very happy with my sleeveless Rodarte shirt though. Bloor Street is the only location selling these designs, btw.

Dixie Grey dress
Blue daisy Jolene dress
I love the silhouette on this dress. Empire waist, square neckline and puff sleeves are all I need. I’m even liking the flower polka dot pattern on the fabric. I hate the polka dot trend with a passion. Most things I’ve seen are very tacky. With the exception of this dress from the gap (waiting for the sale on this one), polka dots should stay small. Anything that I’ve liked is usually always a small dot.

Tasty Wooden Brooch by Princess Tina

My trips to Queen street west always include a stop at Magic Pony. I saw this mushroom brooch and I had to have it. Princess Tina looks like she has some nice things, her site is beautiful and yet very aggravating to me. I want close up shots.

Go Run Easy

IMGP6172
Last week, I attended the Reebok Run Easy media and celeb breakfast. We all gathered at the Toronto Argonauts Rowing club for the presentation. Getting there was a total fiasco. Crossing Lake Shore Blvd in the morning is a nightmare and to top it off my cab driver dropped me off in the wrong spot. I thought it couldn’t get worst, then I find out we’re running this morning. Ugh, not what I want to do at all. Thankfully, Reebok is providing the running gear.

I was given a bag of Reebok goodies (running jacket, pant and a t-shirt) when I signed in. I moved into another room to get my shoes fitted. I sat down beside Jackie Henessey (I thought it was Jill, my favourite D.A. from Law and Order and recently on Crossing Jordan) and said hi. I also cooed at her cute baby. I was wearing the Anita cuff and she asked me about it. I explained the story of how it was designed for me and let her know that she could find out about the designer on my blog I want - I got.

I got a pair of the Road Plus KFS running shoes. I wear orthotics so I only cared about getting the nice looking pair of runners. There were many a fashionista talking about the shoes and some complaining about not getting them. Ahh, fashion people, screw function, it needs to look good.

After everyone changed we gathered outside. I felt like one of the heard; everyone was dressed alike. It was like some crazy running cult took over the waterfront and we were going out to terrorize people along the Martin Goodman Trail. Rosey Edeh, host of ET Canada, led us in stretching and then a short 2K run. The new Martin Goodman Trail and boardwalk along the lake is so incredible now. The path is so smooth because of the new pavement and the boardwalk makes hanging out by the lake a lot more pleasant.

This was a great find at the BinBin Sample Sale. It goes great with my other nautical inspired gear. I’m loving the mini trend this summer so I’ve been obsessed with finding more.

There are 2 silver shoes this Spring/Summer 2007 season that have me captivated.

First is these Romy silver booties by Gucci. So perfect, so my style.

Second are these great sandals by Louis Vuitton

I’ve been looking for something similar and cheaper all over town and haven’t had luck. Those of you that can afford this stuff in Toronto check Holt’s for the Gucci boots and Louis Vuitton for the sandals. I finally got my silver fix satisfied thanks to Nine West (more to come on that).

Yes, I have a WhiteLotus Design cuff named after me. Thank you to the lovely Edina Racz the designer behind WhiteLotus Design. I’m really honoured to be thought of like this and slightly embarrassed. The WhiteLotus booth was quite busy at the Clothing Show, did any readers buy anything from Edina?
