I finally got a chance to view the The Business of Fashion Fashion Pioneers – Jefferson Hack on Fashion Media in The Era of Digital Beauty video. It’s a fascinating interview with Imran from BOF and Jefferson Hack (who is super cute). He’s got some interesting things to say.

I don’t know why I’m loving the Primo Lace Up Wedge Booties by Elizabeth and James . They are blush coloured for god sakes. There is something about the laces, the snake-embossed leather trim and tweed. You can find these booties online at shopbop.com and Bergdorfs. Bergorfs has a black and blush version in addition to the regular blush version. Holt Renfrew carries Elizabeth and James shoes. I haven’t seen these yet. images: shopbop.com
I’m a big Dermalogica fan. I got into to their skin care regimen a few years ago. Even though I receive products from other brands I always have some sort of Dermalogica product in my routine. I attended a Dermalogica event called Group Therapy with . It was a bloggers only event. Dermalogica is smart and called us online editors instead of bloggers in their communication. It was a personal face analysis session at the Dermalogica Training Centre in Toronto. I wanted to take advantage of the Dermalogica experts and check that I had the right product mix. It was a very informative session and it changed up my routine. Prior to attending the session my kit included: Special Cleansing Gel, Skin Prep Scrub, Multi-Active Toner, Total Eye Care and Active Moist moisturizer. At the session, my expert recommended some different products in the line. I discovered the PreCleanse as the first step. It’s a lightweight cleansing oil that removes sebum and oil based debris from the skin before using the Special Cleansing Gel. It …
I love this collaboration of Linda Farrow and Roisin Murphy. It’s part of Linda Farrow’s Projects. They have joined forces to create two pairs of sunglasses sold that can be found at Colette. The sunglasses come in two options: 24 carat gold plated or silver plated. Linda Farrow is well known for her collaborations. She worked with Alexander Wang to create the fabulous cat eye sunglasses.
Rockaway Perforated Wedge Booties by Madison Harding I love the metal lace hooks on these boots. Pair that with the perforated finish and you have a hot little wedge boot. It also comes in cream. Madison Harding is a New York based footwear brand. Created by college friends Hilary Rosenman and Barri Budin. You can find the Rockaway Perforated Wedge Booties online at Shopbop.com and Urban Outfitters. images: shopbop.com

I received a PlastiChic watch after being pitched by their PR. The simple digital display and shape peaked my interest. I love colourful watches and I’m usually always wearing my neon orange Toywatch. PlastiChic seemed liked an accessible way to enjoy a colourful watch. A Toy Watch is $200+ and PlastiChic are much cheaper. PlastiChic watches are made from silicone and come in 19 colours. They weight 10 grams and are water-resistant. They are the kind of watch that would look great stacked on top of each other in wild colours. The packaging of the PlastiChic watches is pretty slick. I had a bit of trouble getting the watch out but I was really impressed with the test tube design. It’s easy to appeal to the science nerd in me. There are three sizes available. They will retail from $22 – $40. The Bay will be carrying PlastiChic starting July 1, 2010. They are available in Toronto at The Little Party Shoppe 2566 Yonge Street Ra Sun Spa 388 Richmond Street West There is a …
I wasn’t able to attend the Brose Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 preview in person. I get the feeling I’m missing something from looking at the photos and not seeing the clothing up close. I’ve posted a few looks I like from the lookbook. There is also a behinds the scenes video
The other type of handbag I’ve been obsessing over is the bucket bag. I have no idea why they are calling to me at this moment. Alexander Wang – Diego suede studded bucket bag MATT & NAT – Commix Drawstring Bag Marc by Marc Jacobs – Party Girl Tribal Pixie Bucket Bag These are a few of the more interesting ones I’ve seen. UPDATE(May 4, 2010): I saw the black version of the MATT & NAT bucket bag for sale at Over the Rainbow. It’s pretty fun in person. I like it. UPDATE(May 10, 2010): I saw the Marc By Marc Jacobs bucket bag at Holt Renfrew on the weekend. It’s pretty nice in person also. images: shopbop.com, net-a-porter.com
