i got: Soviet Air Force Cap

Published by

Regular readers will know of my military love. I’ve added this awesome Soviet Air Force cap to my collection. You will see me with this on the streets with this hat, I love it. On side is full of these great soviet era pins and the other has 3 patches. I got this from Save More Sport Store at Queen and Jarvis, which is one of the best army surplus places for hats. I got my amazing East German ushanka from them and I’ve been thanking them ever winter afterwards. Save More Sport Store Ltd 114 Queen Street East Toronto, Ontario info at savemoresportstore dot ca

I purchased two items from the Gap Designer Collections, a Thakoon dress and a Rodarte shirt. The dress I was iffy from the start but I took it home to try it on with shoes and all that. It didn’t fit the way I would have liked. I am very happy with my sleeveless Rodarte shirt though. Bloor Street is the only location selling these designs, btw.

i want: Dixie Grey dress

Dixie Grey dress I love the silhouette on this dress. Empire waist, square neckline and puff sleeves are all I need. I’m even liking the flower polka dot pattern on the fabric. I hate the polka dot trend with a passion. Most things I’ve seen are very tacky. With the exception of this dress from the gap (waiting for the sale on this one), polka dots should stay small. Anything that I’ve liked is usually always a small dot. via iheartluxe.com images: www.sally-b.com

Tasty Wooden Brooch by Princess Tina My trips to Queen street west always include a stop at Magic Pony. I saw this mushroom brooch and I had to have it. Princess Tina looks like she has some nice things, her site is beautiful and yet very aggravating to me. I want close up shots.

i got: Clear Shoe boxes from the Shoe Stör

Clear Shoe boxes from the Shoe Stör Wayback in 2005 I won a contest by one of the owners of the Shoe Stör. It’s taken me two years to receive the product due to lack of contact on my part and a nasty data loss problem on the Shoe Stör’s end. It’s all be cleared up and now I’m the proud owner of some clear shoe boxes… and I love them! I’ve organized my shoe collection and now everything is at my fingertips. I won’t forget about any of my shoes because they are in the back of my closet in a non-clear shoe box again. They come in various sizes and I use the boot size for my handbags also.

i want: Amelia Earhart chic

Amelia Earhart’s outfit I had no idea Amelia Earhart was so cool. I love this look. The jacket and boots, sigh. I need to reproduce it somehow. I don’t own a leather jacket and really had no interest in one until now. I will have to troll the vintage stores to find something perfect. Style.com has Amelia Earhart as their style icon. This is a really great look too. images: style.com

A BinBin Striped Dress This was a great find at the BinBin Sample Sale. It goes great with my other nautical inspired gear. I’m loving the mini trend this summer so I’ve been obsessed with finding more.
