The Mother of pearl birds were so cute I had to have these. Petitsbijoux is a local Esty user so I got my earrings super quick. I loved the packaging and the presentation.

Hunter Boots in Toronto

Well, well, everyone wants Hunter boots now. Even my friend MJ jumped on the bandwagon which totally surprised me. You should see the looks we get when he’s wearing his black ones and I’m wearing my blue ones. We look like a crazy couple that dresses alike, thought MJ is the better dressed one.

Just to let the guys know, Hunter’s are a unisex boot. So if anyone tells you they are a girl’s boot, they are completely wrong. Make sure you let them know that the Duke of Wellington is rolling in his grave at the suggestion.

So here is an updated list for where to buy Hunter boots aka Wellys in Toronto

Get Outside - They carry a range of colours. I really want a yellow pair.

Heel Boy - Carrys Hunters in a variety of colours. The website is annoying - content not music people. It looks half finished. That being said, it’s a great store for shoes.

The Bay apparently is carrying them also.

If you’ve seen Hunters around, please leave a comment.

Kidrobot Project MUNNY Common Cloth
320230366439_2_0_1

There were a lot of good MUNNYs but I liked Common Cloth’s the best.

This one-of-a-kind custom-designed 8″ MUNNY was created exclusively for the Project MUNNY charity auction by Canadian designer, Common Cloth. Debuted at a super spectacular event at CiRCA during Toronto’s L’Oreal Fashion Week, this iconic doll figure from Kidrobot is being auctioned to raise money for War Child Canada.

Name and Description
“Black Star”
The inspiration for this MUNNY are the following three statements:

Simple is enough excess
Common is uncommon
Love uncomplicated

Buy Design for Windfall

I’m in the Fashion Magazine April 2008 issue with some peeps from the Toronto fashion scene.
Get-your-ticket-to-Buy-Design-54

The ad is for the Buy Design for Windfall fundraiser. I had no idea that we would end up in a full page spread in Fashion Magazine, it’s kinda neat. Unfortunately the left hand side got a bit cutoff because of the magazine seam.

EDIT: I’ve replaced the image with one that isn’t cut off. Click the image to see a larger version
