Project Runway Canada – Episode 3

Published by

I haven’t been blogging the show. I have been watching. I even attended the Project Runway Canada show at fashion week but I’m sworn to secrecy. I’m enjoying the show overall but I have to agree with Nathalie Atkinson about the shows faults. I don’t really understand the Winners connection and yes, Iman’s delivery is awkward. However, Episode three is where I thought we would finally say goodbye to Megan. She’s scraped by the last two challenges. Alas, that didn’t happen, which just cements the whole “reality tv” aspect of the show. She makes for good television. I love Stephen Wong and after seeing him running around during fashion week I love him more. It was a little surreal seeing the contestants pretty much everywhere I went last week.

Houndstooth Sweater Dress from Joe Fresh I’ve been looking for a sweater dress since the beginning of the season. I only have a tank sweater dress and nothing with sleeves. I was passing by the Steeles and Keele Supercentre and stopped in to find one at Joe Fresh. It’s actually 70% lambswool which totally surprised me. It’s cute though, we’ll see how long it takes to get destroyed though. I picked up a striped sweater dress from H&M too. I’m surprised at how much I like it. Both were under 30 dollars.

Roberto Cavalli for H&M

Published by

The collection is up at H&M now. There is an exceptional amount of cheetah prints. I think it’s awful, but I’m sure people will want to buy it. I do predict more of this stuff lying around than the M by Madonna collection. Here is a video from H&M that shows some of the clothes, it’s pretty cheezy be warned. It’s hits the stores on November 8, 2007. Am I the only one who thinks these designer collaboration are so done now? video: hm.com

It’s Thursday night, and I’m at the opening of Peter Gatien’s Circa Nightclub. New York’s club king is hoping to enchant Toronto and the world with four floors of art, technology, cinema and pop culture mishmash. The line snakes around the building but, with VIP access, there is no waiting.
