Secrets from your sister

So I decided to get a bra fitting on the weekend. Since I was in the Annex I ended up at Secrets from your sister. It was quite busy so there was a wait. It was well worth it. The staff are awesome. Friendly and helpful, their motto is “you won’t leave here with a bra that doesn’t fit”. I had lots of fun trying on many different bras. I also made some new friends Princesse Tam-Tam from France Charnos from the UK Liz from Brazil Calvin Klein used to be my favourite. No more, Princesse Tam-Tam has won my heart.

Why go for the inspired version…

when you can have the real thing. I’ve previously blogged about my love of riding boots. I happened to be searching The Fashion Spot and noticed the companies Dehner and Ariat. These two companies make real riding boots and they are hot as hell. 3 Buckle Field Boots by Dehner All I needed to read was “Originally designed for the US Horse Cavalry”. These by far are my favourite of the bunch. I would like black leather though. Dress Boot by Dehner The Horse Cavalry boots give off a more ass kicking vibe which isn’t always appropriate that is where the Dress boot comes in. These boots by Dehner certainly aren’t cheap, but god they are beautiful. They also come in a variety of different leathers. You can find Canadian retailers here. The two boots I like from Ariat lean towards the classic variety. They both are only available in black leather.
