i got: Danube platforms by Nine West

Published by

Danube platforms by Nine West I always wished to be taller than I am. I currently stand at 5’5″ but I really wanted to be between 5’10” and 5’11”. It started in high school, I longed for the height because I played basketball and volleyball. I’ve found an artificial way of getting taller and it’s these shoes I picked up from Nine West. They add like 3 to 4 inches, it’s awesome. My shoes look a little different than the picture. The platform doesn’t have the woven finish, it has a plain wood one. Nine West is having a great sale right now, summer shoes are half off. Have you noticed that Nine West is stocking some hot ass shoes lately

i got: Spectator Shoes by Via Spiga

Spectator Shoes by Via Spiga I’ve been dying for a pair of Spectator Shoes. Necessary items to perfect my menswear inspired looks. I purchased this pair from Winners for $40. They were sufficiently granny-looking enough for my needs. It seems this company’s shoes retails for much more than that.

I finally bit the bullet and joined the Toronto Fashion Incubator as an outreach member. I’ve been kicking the idea around in my head. I was pitched the idea of joining at the Juma Trunk Show by Gail who told me about the great reference section they have. And of course there is the Promostyl Trend Forecast seminars only available to members.

i got: Stella Luna Vintage

Here are two finds I got at the Stella Luna Annual Clearance Sale, both were $15 a piece I now have a leather jacket in my wardrobe, a dark green one at that. This jacket was a little too big but I could resist its Mod influence. I love vintage coats my closet is full of them. The sovintagepatterns.com website is making me salivate with all the 60s patterns they have available. I wish I could sew.

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.

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

Published by

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.
