Year: 2007

Hello Toronto Star readers

Hello, If you came to my site because you read the article Kate’s skinny little clothes spark plus-sized backlash in the Toronto Star on Saturday, May 12, 2007, Welcome. I have commented on Kate’s line here and also have linked to other sites where you can see the clothes on real people. You can read that link here https://iwantigot.geekigirl.com/2007/05/03/kate-moss-topshop/

Well played Burberry

Business Week talks about how Burberry is going to ditch it’s signature plaid. I think this is a great idea, the plaid is overdone, attracted the wrong type of customer and of course, there are the knockoffs. This makes me more happy than their Fall Winter 2007 collection. What do you think about Burberry ditching the plaid?

i want: I’m Not a Smug Twat Bag

I’m Not a Smug Twat bag This is the best parody I’ve seen on the whole Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” tote craze that the sheep are lining up for hours for. Don’t worry Canadian sheep, Holt Renfew will be carrying these bags, so get calling for the waiting list. The bag is from London-based designer, Marissa Vandersee. She makes a hot hoodie too. via Catwalk Queen

There are 2 silver shoes this Spring/Summer 2007 season that have me captivated. First is these Romy silver booties by Gucci. So perfect, so my style. Second are these great sandals by Louis Vuitton I’ve been looking for something similar and cheaper all over town and haven’t had luck. Those of you that can afford this stuff in Toronto check Holt’s for the Gucci boots and Louis Vuitton for the sandals. I finally got my silver fix satisfied thanks to Nine West (more to come on that). images: style.com and louisvuitton.com

i got: An Anita Cuff by WhiteLotus Design

An Anita Cuff by WhiteLotus Design Yes, I have a WhiteLotus Design cuff named after me. Thank you to the lovely Edina Racz the designer behind WhiteLotus Design. I’m really honoured to be thought of like this and slightly embarrassed. The WhiteLotus booth was quite busy at the Clothing Show, did any readers buy anything from Edina?

Beatrix Ong shoes I discovered Beatrix Ong through Cool Hunting post, who discovered it through the ever so cool, Refinery 29. Cool shoes are never sold in Canada, sigh. They are pretty much everywhere else in the world, even Moscow! This is one amazing summer sandal. I wonder if I can find something similar in Toronto.
