Melissa + Zaha Hadid at Holt Renfrew. I love the look of these Melissa sandals which I mentioned awhile back on the blog. They are available at Holt Renfrew. EDIT: (May 9, 2009) – Saw the shoes in Holt Renfrew. They retail $295 image: Highsnobette.com
Greta Constantine Fall 2009 – 2010 Lookbook Since the lookbook has been out I’ve noticed a little bit of misinformation about the Greta Constantine Boys that I would like to clear up: Greta Constantine is not Project Runway Canada alums. Stephen Wong entered the contest as an individual not as Greta Constantine which includes his partner Kirk Pickersgill. Just clearing that up for you.
Studded Sandals from Browns Shoes I saw a women trying on these sandals at the Italy at Your Feet VIP Cocktail. They look so good on that I asked her if my photographer, Paul Baik, could take a photo. Photos Taken by Paul Baik for I want – I got, www.paulbaikphoto.com
I wasn’t able to see the Holt Renfrew Magenta Girls in person and I was very disappointed. I was busy the days they were touring areas of the city spreading the word about Holt Renfrew. I know a couple of the Magenta Girls so I was getting regular updates on their excursions. I saw the facebook group photos and some of them were so cute. They also made their way down to The Financial District, my hood. They chatted up the Boys from Bay Street and played on the TD Centre cows. Those cows are damn popular. Even I have a picture of one I took at my desk in the office. Hopefully I will be free to check out their next excursion into the streets of Toronto. I want their outfits! images courtesy of Holt Renfrew.
I was invited to the “Italy at Your Feet†VIP cocktail, presented by Browns, the Italian Trade Commission (I.C.E) and ANCI (Associazione Nazionale Calzaturieri Italiani) by Fashion Magazine. It was hosted by Browns at the flagship Bloor street location. It was a great excuse to celebrate Italian shoes, drink Prosecco and eat delicious, delicious prosciutto.

Friend and great Photographer, Tanja-Tiziana occassionaly holds these events she called Freestyle Photoshoots. A a huge no-rules photo shoot where everyone gets in front of the camera(s). Make it what you will. Be prepared to meet new people and even be photographed with them at some point. The latest one took place in Christie Pits. I came with Shalome and Ryan aka The Grumpy Owl. I had my Chocolate Bossa Dress on because I didn’t have many pictures of it. I busted out the parasol because it would look cool. This is some of the results of the shoot. It was a lot of fun and I have to thank Tanja-Tiziana, Nancy Paiva and Justin Soegandi for so many great photos. See the rest of Tanja’s photos from the shoot.

You have seen photos of my Erdem dress during |FAT|. It was a super find at the Hazel Liquidation Sale. It was 90% off coming in at a cool $73. It’s from the Fall 2008 collection. The show has other garments in the same print, but not this simple dress design. Erdem is known for his prints and they are breathtaking. I could frame this dress and be very happy looking at the print, but it’s much more fun to wear. Erdem can be found at The Room in The Bay.
