Fall 2009 – 2010 has been pretty boring to me. I haven’t posted as much as I have in previous seasons because nothing has really grabbed me. Paris has had better shows than Milan and NYC. One of those shows is Rick Owens. He eschewed traditional black and send greys of all shades down the runway. It was a fabulous collection as always. I shall be salivating over his jackets once again this fall. See the complete show at Rick Owens Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com. images: showstudio.com and style.com
I was asked to be part of a video for Toronto’s 175 Birthday celebrations. It was created by the wonderful Jamie Woo of Torontoist and Suresh Doss of Spotlight City. I don’t usually like myself on film; I hate the way I sound and look, Suresh’s camera was amazing, I approve of my appearance here. Thank god I got a haircut on Monday too.

Metal Flower Cuff Bracelet by Lanvin Metal Flower Choker Necklace I love Lanvin jewellery, so this shouldn’t be a surprise. There is always an element of hardness that offsets the traditionally beautiful in these pieces and with other Lanvin pieces.
There are a few of the Miss Lanvin porcelain dolls available at Lusiaviaroma site if anyone is looking to acquire one. I talked about these dolls that are inspried by the Spring 2009 collection previously. There are also keychains which are cheaper and made out of metal. The details are incredible, tulle, pearls and satin.

I wanted the Jeffrey Campbell Biz Belted Bootie. I figured nowhere in Toronto would carry this style but I was wrong. It figures a new store I’ve been hearing wonderful things about is carrying them, Chasse Gardee. Chasse Gardee has been on my shops to visit list since I heard a friend gushing over this great new store in the West end; Queen and Dovercourt to be exact. I finally got that chance. Lining the exposed brick wall was shoes. The selection was unique and eclectic. You probably won’t find any of the shoes here in any other stores in the city. They also carry handbags and jewellery. Some of the brands you can find are Slow and Steady Wins the Race, Hyde S.K, Jeffrey Campbell and Karen Walker Eyewear. I didn’t make note of any of the other shoe brands. Chasse Gardee 1084 Queen Street West Toronto, Ontario 416-901-9613 You can find the < Jeffrey Campbell Biz boots online at Canadian retailer Ssense.com
