It’s another Threadless post. Kevin, a reader and fellow computer nerd told me about an interview with the creative director of Threadless Jeffrey Kalmikoff. His site is also having a contest where you can win a Threadless t. Now onto the ts. Our Radio

i want: Smythe Fall 2006 Coats

Published by

Previously I’ve talked about wanting a Smythe Les Vests sailor jacket. The Fall 2006 collection is pretty fun and has a red version of the sailor jacket I loved. This black wool trench is so perfect. I love the length and high waisted belt.

i want: Passenger Pigeon clothing

Published by

Passenger Pigeon, the affair continues… I have a coat fetish, big time. I have a double closet dedicated to them. Most of them are vintage, a few are military. There is also my prized possession, Anita. The Bell coat (pictured above) is made from a woolen army blanket. This summer I loved the wrap dress and this fall is no different. I love the Jersey wrap dress made from cotton and bamboo. Instead of birds this one has tree stumps. However another dress has added itself to the mix, the Herringbone Mod Dress. This one is made with bamboo, linen and lined with 100% silk, nice! The tree motive is a big trend with the fall 2006 collection.

High fives by the magazine rack

So MJ and I are going to have dinner. We decide to stop at Indigo and check out the magazines. We freaked out when we discovered the Haute Couture issue of Gap Press were out. We snagged the last 2 copies and shreaked with joy. 8 glossy pages of Dior baby. I’ve come to realize that I hate looking at shows online. This is the second book I’ve purchased from Gap Press. I have to say that a glossy, ad-free book is the much better way to go. It was a little cheaper too, only $30 this time.

i want…

Pedro García Shoes I’ve been looking for a great black flat shoe. Something I can wear to work with a suit and perhaps even with a skirt. I don’t want a ballerina flat, I have those. I’m not looking for a deck shoe either, there are lots of them around. Some of the flat shoes I see are just horrendous like these two. However I struck the mother load last night when I saw this shoe. Perfection, exactly what I’m looking for. Of course these are way out of my price range. Pedro Garcia has some other great shoes also.

I found this Alexander McQueen quote on Carolyn’s blog. If you are interested in fashion in TO, you really should take a look. Beker: If you really had to give young designers now one piece of advice, the most important piece of advice, what would you tell them? McQueen: This may be a bit harsh: I think you really need to look at yourself and decide whether you’re good enough. Life is too short. There are much better things to do if you’re not. Here are some creepy kid photos he just recently took.

ANTM – To all the moral girls

Published by

Hi there moral girls, can I ask you a question? What do you really know about modelling? They spend a good amount of time naked in front of people, sometimes a lot of people. If you aren’t comfortable with that what are you doing? It was good to weed these people out early in the season, they just infuriate me. Favourites so far: A.J., Eugena, Megan.
