i got: Spectator Shoes by Via Spiga

Spectator Shoes by Via Spiga I’ve been dying for a pair of Spectator Shoes. Necessary items to perfect my menswear inspired looks. I purchased this pair from Winners for $40. They were sufficiently granny-looking enough for my needs. It seems this company’s shoes retails for much more than that.

Who do you think will win Canada’s Next Top Model?

That is what FASHION Magazine is asking your to vote for. What are your predictions? I want Rebecca to win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t. I can see Tia winning it. Sinead is too boring. Tara doesn’t present herself well outside of a photoshoot, so I hope they don’t pick her. That’s really her only problem. Did anyone see the Cori video on The Globe and Mail’s site. She complains about people bashing her on the Internet. You were in a reality television show, did you forget that fact. Be happy they are even taking about you good or bad, it means you made an impression. image: cntm.ca

The Canuck version of the Haramaki

I’ve talked about my love for the Haramaki on I want – I got. I was happy that Alex from Yogagurl dropped me a note to let me know about their belly warmers. They are unfortunately only available in black. What I love about the japanese version is the colours and prints. However, if you aren’t into crazy prints and colours this would be a good purchase. Yogagurl is based out of Toronto, Ontario. images: yogagurl.com, www.1101.com

Canada’s Next Top Model – Episode 7

Thank god Cori is gone. She is weak and cries on a dime. You could not handle the fashion industry they are so much crueler than anyone you’ll meet in our fair T.O. I’m sure your shot at a real modeling career will be just as good as the rest of the other booted off top models. I have to feel for Rebecca, I know what it’s like to deal with drunkards. She looked hot this episode. I love that girl. I have to admit Tia rocked a great photo. So I’ll be looking out for my friend MJ in the next episode. He was part of the audience for the final challenge.

Would you wear the C-String?

It’s called the C-String. Ugh. I love my thongs, but I don’t know if I could get into this. Watch this video. A model wears one and you can tell it’s not comfortable and she keeps adjusting it. They are toting the C-String as a great thing to wear at the beach. Sigh, cellulite, stretch marks and C-Strings; what wonderful beach viewing. Readers, would you wear this as underwear? How about a swimsuit bottom? If I got a sample (hint, hint) I would review it and let you know how it goes. I wouldn’t wear it as swimwear but it looks promising if the back butt thing doesn’t stick out. via Buzzfeed

Coach is now open in the Eaton Centre

I visited the new Coach store with a co-worker last week. That store offends all my sensibilities. I was bombarded with the horrible CC monogram those horrible patchwork bags were all over the place. I can’t remember the last time I saw so many fugly bags in one place. Actually, I don’t think I’ve every seen so many fugly bags in one place. The store is accessories only, no clothing. I didn’t see any shoes, but I could be wrong. Look at this hideous thing, who finds this appealing. I want to know. They did have the only thing I could find on the website that I liked. images: coach.com
