Geekiview: Would you wear this?

Published by

I get some funny submissions at times. Yesterday, I received information about the CPC STRAPâ„¢ which claims to be a hip and stylish way to wear your cellphone. I have a couple of issues with this: 1. I don’t want to wear my cellphone and I think those that do have a serious problem, it’s a tool dammit. 2. These things are neither hip nor stylish. I would use the word ugly, tacky even. You can tell this person didn’t read my blog because then he would know that I have something called taste. Adding tacky jewelery off a cellphone holder is not something I would endorse as hip and stylish. Normally I would just ignore this stuff, but this was good blog post fodder. image: www.htl-wireless.com

I’m Not a Smug Twat bag This is the best parody I’ve seen on the whole Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” tote craze that the sheep are lining up for hours for. Don’t worry Canadian sheep, Holt Renfew will be carrying these bags, so get calling for the waiting list. The bag is from London-based designer, Marissa Vandersee. She makes a hot hoodie too. via Catwalk Queen

There are 2 silver shoes this Spring/Summer 2007 season that have me captivated. First is these Romy silver booties by Gucci. So perfect, so my style. Second are these great sandals by Louis Vuitton I’ve been looking for something similar and cheaper all over town and haven’t had luck. Those of you that can afford this stuff in Toronto check Holt’s for the Gucci boots and Louis Vuitton for the sandals. I finally got my silver fix satisfied thanks to Nine West (more to come on that). images: style.com and louisvuitton.com

An Anita Cuff by WhiteLotus Design Yes, I have a WhiteLotus Design cuff named after me. Thank you to the lovely Edina Racz the designer behind WhiteLotus Design. I’m really honoured to be thought of like this and slightly embarrassed. The WhiteLotus booth was quite busy at the Clothing Show, did any readers buy anything from Edina?

Beatrix Ong shoes I discovered Beatrix Ong through Cool Hunting post, who discovered it through the ever so cool, Refinery 29. Cool shoes are never sold in Canada, sigh. They are pretty much everywhere else in the world, even Moscow! This is one amazing summer sandal. I wonder if I can find something similar in Toronto.

Rings from Boucheron I’m in love with these rings from the expensive French company Boucheron. I’m not quite sure of the pricing but I know nothing on this site starts below 380 Euros. Starfish Ring My favourite is the snake ring. I like snakes though. Hedgehog ring. No authorized retailers in Canada but there is a Boucheron store in San Francisco at 230 Post Street. images: Boucheron

Coach is coming to the Eaton Centre

Published by

I was walking through the Eaton Centre to see that a Coach *shudders violently* store is opening up in the Eaton Centre. I hate Coach with a passion but I’m sure a lot of my readers feel the opposite. I trolled the Coach website to find something I like for an image and the best I could do was this super cute turtle keychain. image: coach.com
