i got: Summer Soles

Summer Soles I read about Summer Soles shoe insoles in Lou Lou Magazine. They sounded intriguing. They claim to keep your feet dry in closed or open shoes. So I ordered them. To be honest I was skeptical. I was wrong, these insoles are amazing. They keep you feet nice and dry. They also feel really good. Wanna tip, check this page first before ordering.

just a reminder…

That the YSL Dada is the hottest shoe this spring. Why oh why can’t I justify the price. Oh I know, cause I’m not independently wealthy. Sigh! Platino metallic Dada pump Ruggine metallic Dada pump Green lamé metallic Dada pump Pics from Style.com. Thanks Style!

Why go for the inspired version…

when you can have the real thing. I’ve previously blogged about my love of riding boots. I happened to be searching The Fashion Spot and noticed the companies Dehner and Ariat. These two companies make real riding boots and they are hot as hell. 3 Buckle Field Boots by Dehner All I needed to read was “Originally designed for the US Horse Cavalry”. These by far are my favourite of the bunch. I would like black leather though. Dress Boot by Dehner The Horse Cavalry boots give off a more ass kicking vibe which isn’t always appropriate that is where the Dress boot comes in. These boots by Dehner certainly aren’t cheap, but god they are beautiful. They also come in a variety of different leathers. You can find Canadian retailers here. The two boots I like from Ariat lean towards the classic variety. They both are only available in black leather.

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.
