H&M and Madonna

If you have the new Loulou magazine you have seen the latest H&M ads featuring Madonna and her crew. I think it’s an awful ad campaign. The clothing is definitely nothing to write home about. I actually really hate what Madonna is wearing. You can view the photos here.

Patent fever

Patent shoes are everywhere. In all colours of the rainbow with platforms and high heels. I’m getting 80s flashbacks. I remember my first pair of patent shoes. Now, I’m not including the patent Mary Jane’s that every girl had. I’m talking the first pair of patent shoes I bought myself. Black patent leather Dr. Martins shoes, not boots. Pointed toe and not round. I loved them, they were my “housing” shoes. Memories.

CNTM – It’s over

Well it’s over and with a typically boring ending. Overall the show was pretty ghetto. They threw no money at this thing. Hello! BC does have a fashion week, you couldn’t at least do the show during that period of time. The final runway competition was so low rent. The gosees were so low rent. The whole show was low rent overall. Regardless, I still watched and if it comes back for a second season, I will watch again. I want Stacey’s legs, OMG!!!!!

i got…

I’m not really a trend person, but I did latch on to the “white dress” phenomenon of S/S 2006, take this example from Chloe. I spent pretty much all spring and summer looking for that perfect white dress. Unfortunately, many I saw were too expensive, not quite right or just plain awful. I finally found what I was looking for on a recent trip to Stella Luna. I had always heard about this store, but just never made it to parkdale. This is by far the best vintage store in the city. I saw many items I liked.

New Look

I’ve finally changed the look around here. Took me a long time to find a template I like. I could try and do one myself but I really don’t have the time. I hope to have a new logo to unveil in the new few weeks. So watch out for that. The Dada has nothing to do with this post. I just like looking at it.
