I wanted the Jeffrey Campbell Biz Belted Bootie. I figured nowhere in Toronto would carry this style but I was wrong. It figures a new store I’ve been hearing wonderful things about is carrying them, Chasse Gardee. Chasse Gardee has been on my shops to visit list since I heard a friend gushing over this great new store in the West end; Queen and Dovercourt to be exact. I finally got that chance. Lining the exposed brick wall was shoes. The selection was unique and eclectic. You probably won’t find any of the shoes here in any other stores in the city. They also carry handbags and jewellery. Some of the brands you can find are Slow and Steady Wins the Race, Hyde S.K, Jeffrey Campbell and Karen Walker Eyewear. I didn’t make note of any of the other shoe brands. Chasse Gardee 1084 Queen Street West Toronto, Ontario 416-901-9613 You can find the < Jeffrey Campbell Biz boots online at Canadian retailer Ssense.com
The more I see of these Melissa Shoes, the more I like them. The plastic thing does throws me off for anything other than an sandal. The heels have a padded footbed though, they might be comfortable. However you can’t complain about beautiful shoes like these. I love the colour and shape I’m also a fan of the pair designed by famous Architect, Zaha Hadid. They have an unusual shape too. I’ve seen Melissa shoes at various places in the city: Lavish and Squalor Little Burgundy EDIT: Holt Renfrew is now carrying the Melissa Zaha Hadid Shoes. – April 15, 2009 via Highsnobette.com images: melissaplasticdreams.com and Highsnobette.com

Stella McCartney Double strap platform
Sergio Rossi Zip back sandals They are back again; this time in another colour. Sergio Rossi did these in seaform that caught my eye in the summer of 2008. This muted version is nice also.
Marni Platform suede slingbacks Marni has falling off my radar lately. It’s been a lot of the same clashy mess stuff for the last few seasons. I do like this shoe though and I love the wooden heel.
