I want – I got reader Malou wrote to tell me about her online store Bamboo Closet. The store features handmade products by independent designers from the Philippines and the rest of Asia. Created in October 2006, Malou with her partners Isa and Joanna have created a company with a mission to “empower the artisans and their communities by developing a sustainable business capacity to compete in the global marketplace.” They also promote “social consumerism” by educating buyers to the origins of the items they purchase. I particularly liked the handbags the site has to offer.

Bamboo Closet has graciously offered I want – I got readers a 10% discount on all items. Please use the discount code IWG202710 at checkout. This offer will expire on April 1, 2007. images: BambooCloset.com

A video I got…

I was asked to beta test BlogTV.ca. So I made this video for my Madvillian toy. The music is from Madvilliany, one of my favourite albums. I’m still figuring out how this works. While I was recording this I had this little speech and send some shout outs to blogtv and Magic pony, but that wasn’t picked up my the video camera’s mike. Boo Urns. One thing I don’t like is the autoplay. Sorry everyone. I hate it enough to move the video under the cut. Do check it out.

I’m sorry IE users

The site is messed up for anyone using IE right now. I don’t often check IE because I use Firefox and I forget about the rest of the world. I’m trying to track down the problem and I hope to get it fixed soon. You really should be using Firefox though. LOL. UPDATE: I’ve fixed the problem. Thanks goes out to Scott Wallick, the creator of the plaintxtblog theme I’m using. He helped me to track down the issue. Scott Rocks. w00t!!!!

Hi This is just to let you all know to look for me in Now Magazine this Thursday. Andrew Sardone who writes fashion for Now is featuring 5 Toronto fashion bloggers and I was lucky enough to be one of them. It’s pretty exciting and I can’t wait to see how the pictures turn out. Oh yes friends, there was a real photoshoot and everything. I’m wearing clothing from Juma’s new Movement line.

Remember what I said about this look Love this, perfect. I take back what I said about the stylist intervention. It happened here and it’s still all wrong. WRONG, Sienna, so very wrong. UPDATE: Hi BuzzFeed Readers, thanks for coming by. Please comment on the comparison if you feel like 🙂

The Essential Toolbag by S. Stein I fell in love with this bag which takes on the tool belt and makes it fabulous, such kitsch. I love all the pockets. They are always more of a pain in the ass than anything. I spend so much time looking for my keys or lip balm because of all the pockets. I still love them though, totally makes no sense. The bag is made of industrial strength canvas and has suede pockets. Inspired by the high functionality and natural materials of classic carpenter bags and toolbelts; reinterpreted for the modern industrious woman. Not sold in stores here but available online. via Popgadget: Personal Tech for Women images: ssteindesign.com

This hasn’t been fun

The upgrade hasn’t gone as smoothly as I would have liked. You will find the comments are broken. I also have to fix some things with plugins. Sigh. My friends list is pooched for now too. It will be back once I fix the widgets issue. Please email me if you see any issues. UPDATE: All functionality should be working correctly now. What a pain in the ass.

Upgrading…or not.
