Confessions

Published by

Sex in the City madness has gripped the city. I was suppose to attend a Sex and the City themed party but I just didn’t have the energy after the Chick Advisor Shop Crawl. To be completely honest, I don’t like Sex in the City. I watched a few seasons of the show but I got bored. It was never something I could relate to – four aging white women and their relationships in New York City. But I’m sure the movie will do well. Patrick Field has paired with Payless to cash in on the hype. They certainly aren’t my cup of tea and the style names are just plain obnoxious – heiress, empress, princess *shudder* and socialite. I’m not a big fan of Payless shoes, I never find styles that I like. Although I could say that for most shoe stores I walk into. Another thing is that I really don’t like the way they fit. I have two pairs of payless shoes and they are cute but not comfortable. However, these silver …

Tibi Printed mini dress I’m all about the mini this summer. It’s strange. As I got older the skirt lengths got longer, but this summer I’m just dying for more mini skirts, dresses, anything that shows a ton of leg. This dress has a lovable obnoxious print and it’s short as all hell.

geekiviews: Eleven Minutes

Published by

I saw Eleven Minutes with Danielle during Hot Docs. It was the night of the TTC strike to be exact. This feature documentary follows fashion designer, Jay McCarroll’s year-long journey designing and preparing his first independent runway show and selling of his clothing line to stores after wiining the first season of Project Runway. This in-depth, raw and humorous documentary explores the conflict of balancing commerce with art, fame with talent, and reality-TV with actual reality. It was an excellent movie. I think anyone who really wants to be a designer should see it. It’s stripped down and raw, there is no glamorizing of his whole ordeal. It was funny as all hell and Jay had me pissing my pants. I also loved the crazy PR lady that everyone was afraid of. It’s a real emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end. I definitely recommend it to any fashion fan or curious bystander. The Toronto Fashion Incubator is sponsoring a screening of Eleven Minutes on Tuesday, June 17 at 7:00pm in Theater 222, Innis College, 2 …

Cavalli quotes

Published by

Robert Cavalli says some hilarious things in this article from the Telegraph. Roberto Cavalli: ‘The English – oh my God!’ – Telegraph “I am not gay,” he adds hastily, holding up a bejewelled hand, his expression suddenly stern. “I detest men – dressed or naked – but women…” The dreamy look returns and, a few feet away, Sharon Stone laughs into her mobile phone. What is it he loves the most about women? He strikes a pensive pose. “Flesh,” he concludes. But nothing makes him despair quite like undesirables wearing his clothes: “It happens a lot with women of a certain nationality – I’m sure you can imagine which – and you just want to say ‘Give it back!’? I wonder who he’s talking about here, hmmm. “I’m very much against all these celebrities doing diffusion lines. Do I suddenly get up in the morning and say that I am going to start a singing career, with the horrible voice that I have? That’s what these girls do when they show the world how horrible …

Lanvin Paris Window Display

Published by

When Tommy Ton was in Paris for the fall collections he took some amazing pictures of the Lanvin Window Display. He’s let me post some of the pics here. Thanks Tommy This is my favourite picture. The dress is gorgeous and the yellow would look killer on me. I would just need a little man to carry a fan for wind around behind me like John G has.
