I waxed poetic about some of the Givenchy Spring 2009 shoes. I bypassed the cowboy inspired stuff as too kitsch. At the Italy at Your Feet VIP Cocktail I saw them up close and personal. I’m a fan, they are drool worthy. I’m also a big fan of these mesh ones. Hot! They are at Browns Bloor Street right now.
Melissa + Zaha Hadid at Holt Renfrew. I love the look of these Melissa sandals which I mentioned awhile back on the blog. They are available at Holt Renfrew. EDIT: (May 9, 2009) – Saw the shoes in Holt Renfrew. They retail $295 image: Highsnobette.com
Studded Sandals from Browns Shoes I saw a women trying on these sandals at the Italy at Your Feet VIP Cocktail. They look so good on that I asked her if my photographer, Paul Baik, could take a photo. Photos Taken by Paul Baik for I want – I got, www.paulbaikphoto.com
I was invited to the “Italy at Your Feet†VIP cocktail, presented by Browns, the Italian Trade Commission (I.C.E) and ANCI (Associazione Nazionale Calzaturieri Italiani) by Fashion Magazine. It was hosted by Browns at the flagship Bloor street location. It was a great excuse to celebrate Italian shoes, drink Prosecco and eat delicious, delicious prosciutto.

I was very impressed with my Buy Design Outfit that I thought I should dedicate a post to it. This the best full body shot I have at the moment. I happen to love this photo also. The fur caplet is Bear. Yes, you read that right Bear. I don’t own it. It was rented from a great vintage shop call The Refinery (588 Markham St.). I enjoyed every second wearing that caplet. It also was the focal point of my outfit. The top is Greta Constantine. You can’t see the back, but it’s basically non-existent on this shirt. The leggings are Member’s Only. The shoes are Nine West, a Balenciaga knockoff I’m told. I lived in these sandals last summer and plan on doing the same this summer. Purple Clutch is YSL. The feathered headpiece is from KC Hats (998 Bathurst St). I never imagined that the headpiece would work without hair, but I was proven wrong in the studio and I left the studio with it in a bag. images: Raymund Galsim, Gail …
Brave Candy by Brave Leather Candy coloured skinny belts from Toronto based Brave Leather. I want every colour. Available for $49.00 in the new Brave Leather online shop.
Belvedere Vodka and Bustle Clothing collaborated during LG Fashion Week. Nine Canadian graffiti artists were tapped to create bags for Bustle’s Fall 09 collection, featuring the aesthetic of Belvedere’s new IX bottle. The bags are pretty cool and I thought I’d share them. I thought about linking to the new Belvedere product but the website offends my sensibilities so you’ll have to google it for yourself.
Nappa Wide Ankle Strape Sandals I had no idea that Hussein Chalayan did shoes. I don’t like a lot of the sandals that have the added material but he manages to make it look good.
Roger Vivier Faceted Python Shoulder Bag I love the shape of this Roger Vivier shoulder bag. It comes in red, but I prefer this colour combination.
