i got: Maria Serrano Shoes

Maria Serrano Shoes My black gladiator sandals bit the dust early this summer. I replaced them with these white ones. They should last much longer because of the quality upgrade. Maria Serrano shoes is a Toronto based company that sells shoes made in Argentina. Our intention is to feature new and different lines of shoes that are beautifully wearable. Every one of our shoes is made in Argentina and exclusive to Canada alone. We will carry limited quantities of each style so running into someone on the street with “your” shoes won’t happen. I also got these red girly flat shoes, which is a little unusual for me. If I’m wearing flats they are running shoes, so this is a departure. I purchased them at a small sample sale I was invited to. You can also get her stuff online or at the small number of events she attends. Watch her space for details.

gQ spa Specials August 2007

gQ spa Specials Till August 31, 2007 Lillian from GQ Spa writes…. Just thought maybe you could advertise our specials for the month…we’re promoting $8 moor mud bath therapies this month….the bath is amazing for those who just want to release stress and relax. Regularly priced at $35 it is one of our signature services and most sought out by Torontonians who just need to relax. This mud bath holds the highest level of humic acid and is great for treating insomnia, muscle tightness, lactic acid build-up and inflammation. It’s also great for a casual relaxation treatment. For all those who have been wondering, this month ONLY we’re letting everyone try it for $8. We have one other promotion currently. We have had fabulous feedback when it comes to our face treatments–“best in Toronto”…we want to give everyone a chance to share this experience with a friend or loved one…currently we are running a 2 purifying face treatments for $99 special…wow, what a deal…it’s like none other and it would be shame to miss out …

Fashiontainment

Fashiontainment. I’m hearing this word all over the place now. Fashionainment. I hate it. I hate the way it sounds. I hate the way it feels when I say it. It rubs me the wrong the same way as Fashionista. Please, don’t call me a Fashionista. I don’t rip your head off when you do because I’m polite. Believe me, in my head, I’m playing out the Roy-Tyrell scene and you’re Tryell. I understand what Fashionainment is suppose to convey; but it’s an ugly and lazy word.
