Susana Erazo Belts Everytime I got into Pho Pa I end up salivating over Susana Erazo Belts. I really need to add one to my collection. Susana Erazo belts can be found at: Pho Pa 698 Queen Street West Toronto Model Citizen 279 Augusta Ave Toronto
Anzevino & Florence black oversized silk jersey cardigan I love the volume of this cardigan by Anzevino & Florence . It’s made of silk jersey so the drape would be perfect. Fawn in Toronto carries Anzevino & Florence clothing. They may even have this cardigan. Fawn 967 Queen St. West Toronto
Alexander Wang Crop Top Sweatshirt The back of this sweatshirt is just fantastic. I’m not a big fan of the crop top look but it would make a great layering piece. Alexander Wang is found in Canada at Reborn, Holt Renfrew, Alice & Olivia and Misch.
Castor’s installation for the 5×5: 5 Designers. 5 Inspired Spaces was really cute. They renovated a mobile home and made it quite cosy with couches and a wood stove. Photos taken by Paul Baik – www.paulbaikphoto.com
Missoni Home didn’t have a very fancy booth or anything. It was mostly a bunch of fabric rolls. It was the fabrics that made this a favourite thing, they were beautiful
Blown Glass I love the way Paul took this photo of the Hanging Lamps. They look like they are suspended in blackness. Photo taken by Paul Baik – www.paulbaikphoto.com

bsq. Design I was obsessed over this reclaimed freight container that was converted to a “mobile, off the grid, professional design office”. I think the best part is the green roof. Photo taken by Paul Baik – www.paulbaikphoto.com
Super cool fashion blog Fifi Lapin has launched a line of bags in the LeSportsac Artist In Residence Program. Not sure if Holt’s will pick up this line for in person shopping. I will keep an eye out. Note: Stella McCartney for LeSportsac is 50% off the Fall 2008 collection.
I attended the Interior Design Show 2009 with my photographer Paul Baik on Thursday for the opening night party/media preview and Saturday. I was really excited about this event because I had a photographer who knew what they were doing. My good friend Paul Baik is a graduate of Ryerson’s photography program. He’s also a Financial District combatant like myself. It would be nice not worrying about photos. He had a slick Nikon D3 that makes my little point and shoot look pathetic beyond belief. The Media room welcomes us with Veuve and media kits out the ying yang. There was so much to see and I’ve battled with myself as to how I want to present this. Do I do a massive post or break it up? I’ve decided to break it up. This post is an overview and you can use the two slideshows to see the photos. I will be posting about my favourite things from IDS all this week.
