i want…

Individual Icons Jewelry LeeAnn Herreid’s jewelry is something the 21st century traveller should never be without-compass rings and pendants set in sterling silver ensure you never lost your way, spirit level earrings keep you in balance, stainless steel ruler bracelets give you the measure of things, and thermometer earrings keep you cool. These are just some of the pieces in Herreid’s line of functional and innovative jewelry; more than just decorative, they are pieces with purpose.(source) There are so many interesting pieces on this site that I had a hard time choosing. I like a lot of things, so here is a sample. Chainmail Lariat

i want…

I’ve mentioned Sergio Rossi on the site before. I don’t understand why I didn’t look at the website further. I was missing the shoe gold mine! It started at Red Apple. Mocha over the knee riding boots. I could faint! And the similar red leather boot with a turned down cuff. These two beautiful boots are all from Fall/Winter 2005. I wonder what Spring Summer 2006 brings, stay tuned. You can purchase Sergio Rossi boots at Martha Fine Shoes and Accessories 153 Cumberland Toronto, Ontario – map it!!!

Tamara Henriques Rainboots

I previously talked about Tamara Henriques rainboots. I didn’t know of any local retailers until Toronto Life told me. I opened up the magazine and in the Super Shopper section were the exact boot.

i want: Frye Boots

I’ve been interested in Frye boots in passing for a few years now. If I was to own a motorcycle (which I hope at some point) I would definitely own these. I checked out Frye‘s website and found some other items I like Love, love, love these guys. Nice and tall. Same goes for these The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. The Company was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a well to do shoemaker from England. John A. Frye ran the business for nearly 50 years. (source) Frye boots are available at many shops in the GTA. Here are a few that I know of for sure. Bootmaster – 609 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario Rockin’ Cowboy – 754 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario Western Corral – 1982 Avenue Road, North York, Ontario B2 and Browns usually have a small selection of Frye boots for sale also.

Geox is getting closer

I was in the Eaton Centre today and noticed that there is going to be a Geox store opening. This is very exciting. Geox makes the most comfortable shoes you will ever wear. They keep your feet cool and dry all day long, no matter how long you wear them. I own these boots and I love them, I wish I had a black pair. There is a store in Yorkdale already. It’s not surprising that I didn’t know this, I haven’t been up to Yorkdale since they renovated. Too far. Geox also makes dress, casual and sport shoes for men, women and kids. They even have outerwear. All products use their patented system.

i want…

Chemistry book bag by Rebound Designs I already have one book bag from Caitlin, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It was love at first sight, well almost. I really wanted The Odyssey or The Iliad, but alas they were not available. Old hardcover books are reworked into beautiful handbags. Caitlin has a good FAQ for those that are interested in her book bag making process. Items are always changing on her site, so keep checking. Chemistry is still available but gems like Great Expectations, Calculus and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy have been bought up. These one of a kind items are only available online.
