The Jil Sander Fall 2007 collection was very beautiful. Clean straight lines (the best kind) and of course beautiful tailoring. I really was taken by the accessories more than the clothes. The wedge is the best out the bunch.
Seshat Boots by Stella McCartney for Adidas I have been eying these boots after I first posted about the fall 2006 Stella collection from Adidas. I think they are more obnoxious than my white Sorels. Capezio came through for me in the end. I got the last pair of 8s in the store.
Anne Valérie Hash shoes I can’t explain why I like these heels by Anna Valerie Hash. I think it’s the heel height and the strange forefoot covering. I think menswear when I see them, but can’t place that influence in them. Anna Valerie Hash shoes were available Holt Renfrew but has since been dropped. Holt’s just took their shoe department back from Browns.

You see, I live in Winnipeg, where there a few fun boutiques and big box and mall stores rule. My question for you is regarding Canadian online shoe stores. While there are plenty of ones in the States, I don’t like considering the duty and exchange. I am aware of softmoc.ca here shipping in Canada but would love to know if you have come across any others. Thanks! Dai This post needs and update and here I am to do that. Online shopping is getting better in Canada. There are some new additions for online shoe shopping. Online shopping in Canada isn’t very good most of the time. Things are slowly changing though …
My mission on Boxing Day was to get some cheap Hunter Wellys. Some stores discounted them a little bit like TNT, Over the Rainbow, Aritiza and Capezio. Heel Boy didn’t even put them on sale and they aren’t part of the 2 for 1 sale they are having right now. I almost bought them from Heel Boy until I found out they weren’t part of the sale. I decided to wait it out and I’m glad I did because Over the Rainbow brought out the big guns, 50% off. The last pair in blue were a 38; it was like they were waiting for me. So, if you are looking for Hunter Wellingtons on the cheap, hit up Over the Rainbow. They had a bunch of green ones left and some of another style, The Hunter Lady N. Get them while they last.

Ankle boot by Gwendolyn Carrié I’m a big fan of the menswear trend and when I saw these ankle boots I immediately thought of a crisp white shirt, suspenders and black tailored pants. I great top hat and a cane would be fun too. 😀 Of course, there are no retailers in Canada. images: gwendolyncarrie.com, johnhelmer.com
Five on Spadina Boxing Week Sale 99 Spadina Ave Toronto, Ontario
Guillaume Hinfray shoes I fell in love with these shoes at George C in Yorkville. I love the box toe of the latest crop of hot ballerina shoes to come out this season. They were 50% off when I saw them as it was during their boxing day sales. If you are lucky you might be able to pick some up. I bought myself a cheap and dirty pair at Winners. They are burgundy fake velvet upper. image: guillaumehinfray.com
United Nude shoes Fold Hi This is a perfect black bootie for me. It has a round toe and the elasticized upper looks like it hugs the foot perfectly. I can see this with black tights and a cute little black dress.
