Hats by Claudia Schulz I love the shapes of these hats made by Vancouver based Claudia Schulz. I’m not too sure if these would work with my short hair, but I’m willing to chance it. You can purchase Claudia’s hats online through her website.

NYC Fashion Week Spring 2008 – Street Trends

There were two things that really stuck out for me in New York. 1. Men carried Manbags. All kinds of guys with all kinds of bags, not just the fashion insiders. I liked the look actually and I hope it spreads. Hell, I even liked the guy rocking the clutch at Phi. Find your Man bag here. 2. Goyard is king. I didn’t see a lot of Louis Vuitton, but I saw a lot of Goyard, fake and real. You could get Goyard fakes on every street corner. At night, every street corner had a bunch of guys selling handbags out of garbage bags and boxes. Fucking hilarious. For those that don’t know, Goyard is an old french company that makes very expensive luggage and handbags. images: balenciaga.com and businessweek.com

NYC Fashion Week near miss

So I was in NYC and I wanted something great to bring back home. I wandered around 5th Ave looking in places like Saks, Prada and Bergdorf’s. I was surprised at how little grabbed me. Of course, I salivated over Lanvin, Prada and Balenciaga, but lets face it, that stuff is way out of my budget. I did see something I wanted badly and I was willing to pay for them…Rupert Sanderson shoes. Remember these babies, well Saks had them and I just about had a fit. I was all excited while the helpful gentlemen went to find my size. He returned empty handed though, boo urns. They are so damn gorgeous and more beautiful in person, sigh. There is one thing I noticed in NYC, store service is excellent, fantastic even. Canada has a lot to learn.
