i want…

Fall Winter 2006 shoes from Maloles I featured Maloles shoes before and I just discovered their fall line up. I love the asymmetrical opening on these boots. I bet they sit nicely against the leg and look great with skirts. I’ve seen a lot of these box toe ballerina flats, I love them. These ones look like they have a little face.

I’m out of the patent club

I recently blogged about buying these great patent shoes. For those who haven’t read the comments, the damn things broke on me after I wore them for the first time. I took them back to Town Shoes and I thought I would get an immediate refund/exchange. This was clearly a manufacturer’s defect and I have a right to a new pair of shoes. Well, I was told that they would have to go to repair first and then they would see if they could fix them. These shoes couldn’t be repaired, I could tell. I was told it was policy and didn’t’ really push the issue. They would go to repair and I wouldn’t have to pay. I was told it would take a week and they would call. Thursday was a week and I had no call. So I decided to give them a call and find out what the hell was going on. They found the shoes in the store and they were still broken. I was prepared to give them hell about …

i want: Urban Soft Flowers by Hunter by Bonder boots

Urban Soft Flowers by Hunter by Bonder boots That fact that I love these modified Hunter Wellingtons is proof that I am totally insane. It makes no sense why I like these. None at all. I like these obnoxious things. Check out the details. The covering reminds me of cheese cloth? Well, you’ll never see me sporting these. They cost a wopping $808. They don’t have much function as a rain boot either. Maybe they are for fashionable gardeners.

Ask a geek: Full length leather jackets

Welcome to another installment of ask a geek. RDLoscher wrote: Where can I find Womens Full length Leather Coats in Toronto! If you can direct me to a wholesaler or a retailer I would appreciate it! Thank You RDLOscher Thanks for your question RDLoscher. I’m not a leather expert but I would start out with these stores Daniel leather – It’s the first place that came into my mind Northbound leather – I am pretty sure they make full length coats but may have a fetish influence. The Olde Hide House Bart Leather LA PELLE KARPETA The Leather Ranch Phil Leather I’d start with this list. Give the stores a call and see if they carry any jackets in the length your are looking for. If none of these option work, you might want to try something custom made. I don’t know of any wholesalers, sorry 🙁 Be sure to check out the Beardmore leathers Warehouse sale this weekend.

My problem is that I haven’t played squash since the late ’80s. Back then, real men wore either a white T-shirt with short shorts a la Magnum P.I. (I never had the legs for that) or loose gray cotton sweat pants. It’s not so much that I want to impress this woman with my chiseled six-pack and bursting deltoids. It’s more like not wanting to embarrass either one us on the court with a major fashion faux pas. So my question is what does a modern 21st century male squash player wear on the court …

i want…

One piece swimsuit by Vix Swimwear I don’t usually salivate over swimwear. It’s never really been on my radar. I don’t swim all that often and I certainly don’t lie on the beaches of Lake Ontario. I normally only care about swimwear when I’m heading to Barbados is visit family. Once you’ve experienced beaches in the Caribbean it’s hard to look at anything up here with any real concern. However, the lusting changed after I saw this great one piece suit. I love the one shoulder configuration and my god the back of this suit. HOT, it totally sold me. I thought the gold hoop on the front was a nice touch also. I’m not a bikini person, they don’t seem very functional to me and that’s very important. I do like the tankini though. This swimsuit is available at online retailer More Swimsuits. They have a large selection of swimwear and cover ups by companies like Vix Swimwear, Blue Brazil, Ujena, Berrydog and Melissa Odabash. Many women today are turning to online shopping to …

i got…

So I bit the bullet and got myself some patent shoes. I spent a lot of time looking at what was out there before I settled on Bea by O Oscar an Oscar de la Renta They have a little bit of a platform and they aren’t sky high like the styles that are out there. My favourite part is that they have a rounded toe. I picked these up at Town Shoes in Toronto and Zappos.com online. Now I need a black patent handbag to match. 🙂
