Zara Home

Seems like Zara is the in Home Decor business too. I wonder how long it will take them to get to Canada? They only have a shops in Mexico on the Americas front.

Boo urns

I have a habit of saying boo urns sometimes. It’s a fun word. If you don’t know the meaning then see here. I noticed in my stats that I’ve gotten hits for this term. Apparently there is a t-shirt by this company called Glarkware. So for all of you that are looking for the boo urns tshirt, here you go.

YSL Heels S/S 2006 I love these shoes even though I would never be able to afford them. Apparently chunky heels and platforms are back for S/S 2006. I’m not much of a trend shopper, I tend to buy things to last most than a season. Here’s the non-slingback version. Gorgeous. The model’s hairy legs gave me a chuckle 😀 via Style.com

They are all handmade and no two are exactly alike (just like high priced denim guys!). While they are listed as cell phone charms, I plan on using mine as a bag charm.

Tano Handbag retailers in Canada

I’ve noticed that I get a lot of hits for Tano handbags. I thought I would post the Canadian retailers for those that want to know. It would be a good idea to inquire with each store as to their availability. You can also purchase Tano bags online at Musthavebag.com (I got it right this time 😉 ). Stay tuned as I will blog the Spring 2006 line when it becomes available.

Hoodie heartattack

I opened my email after work today and I just about had a heart attack! Threadless has hoodies now! HOODIES, people, HOODIES. Best of all they have my all time favourite t-shirt printed as a hoodie. Damn Scientists I placed an order and I’ll be eagerly waiting for it to arrive. The small sizes went damn quick. The email arrived at 5:55pm. I placed my order at 7:30P.M. and by that time they were gone. Boo urns. There were some other styles that you can view here: Pandamonium Radios – I really like this one too!!!
