I have a habit of saying boo urns sometimes. It’s a fun word. If you don’t know the meaning then see here. I noticed in my stats that I’ve gotten hits for this term. Apparently there is a t-shirt by this company called Glarkware. So for all of you that are looking for the boo urns tshirt, here you go.
YSL Heels S/S 2006 I love these shoes even though I would never be able to afford them. Apparently chunky heels and platforms are back for S/S 2006. I’m not much of a trend shopper, I tend to buy things to last most than a season. Here’s the non-slingback version. Gorgeous. The model’s hairy legs gave me a chuckle 😀 via Style.com
I’ve noticed that I get a lot of hits for Tano handbags. I thought I would post the Canadian retailers for those that want to know. It would be a good idea to inquire with each store as to their availability. You can also purchase Tano bags online at Musthavebag.com (I got it right this time 😉 ). Stay tuned as I will blog the Spring 2006 line when it becomes available.

Nerd Bird Tshirt by Threadless I’ve been wanting this shirt for awhile now but it’s been sold out. Threadless has reprinted it, yay me!
Cuddle Pullover by Lululemon I’m not a crazy Lululemon junkie. I own none of their shorts, tank tops or pants. I do own this and another hoodie though and I really love them. The test of a great hoodie is in the hood and these are great. Lululemon hoodies are made to last using super thick cotton. They are preshrunk so you can toss then in the dryer. To be honest, it took me a year to put my other hoodie in the dryer. I’m obsessive with my clothes and wash anything I really, really care about in cold water and I hang it to dry. Oh and it’s black, not pink like the picture.
My Fashion Week Daily email told me that Holt Renfrew is launching a Designer kids division. Now label whoring parents can dress their child in the same duds. Maybe this will create some bonding between parents and kids now they can shop in the same store. It just seems silly to buy a D & G Junior baby jumper when the kid will:
1. puke, piss and crap all over the thing
2. outgrow it in a few months.
Fashion victims are getting younger these days. Get ready parents your 5 year old is going to be asking for Dior.
(TORONTO) Luxury department store Holt Renfrew is launching a Designer Clothes for Kids division in March 2006 at Toronto’s Bloor Street and Yorkdale locations, as well as in Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Vancouver. A launch party is scheduled at the Bloor Street flagship for March 4th. Fall launches are scheduled in the Sherway Gardens and Ste Foy stores.
“We’re combing the best of both categories (luxury goods and children’s) with our designer clothes for kids and see spring 2006 as the perfect time to launch,†according to Lanita Layton, vp of Menswear and Designer Clothes for Kids. “We’ve looked at the lines we already carry for men and women, and the children’s line must have the same Holt point of view.â€
Brands on offer include Baby Dior, Burberry, Diesel, D&G Junior, Juicy Couture, Miss Sixty, Ralph Lauren, Moschino, Rock & Republic, Seven, and True Religion, as well as accessories by Susan Fitch, Jack Spade, Links of London and Trumpette. (source)
There are times when I wish I could knit. This is one of those times. These bring back memories of the Arcade and playing the original Nintendo for hours on end in my basement.
Super Mario Scarf

This scarf is the coolest thing ever. I’m jealous of the boy that owns it.
Space Invaders tote

Cute tote bag. Must learn how to knit!

I’ve discovered that Artizia is carrying 2 Tano handbag styles. They are damn good looking ones too.
$195.00 CDN – Alchemist Crunch in chocolate brown
$210 – Gerard Cruberdeen in Pea Green/Brown.
I handled the bags a lot while I was in the store and they are amazing. If you are really into the massive handbag, Tano is your company.
