Kidrobot Gloomy Bear So freaking cute. Kidrobot makes some killer toys. You might remember my Madvillian toy and the video I made, it’s Kid Robot too. The whole back story behind Gloomy is hilarious Gloomy, an abandoned little bear, is rescued by Pity (the little boy). At first, he is cute and cuddly, but becomes more wild as he grows up. Since bears do not become attached to people like dogs by nature, Gloomy attacks Pitty even though he is the owner. So Gloomy has blood on him from biting and/or scratching Pity. You can get a bloodier version of Gloomy too. You get Gloomy at Magic Pony in Toronto.

Posting from the new computer

Published by

Nothing excites me more than purchasing new electronic equipment. That’s right, I love this more than shopping for clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. I bought a new computer a little ahead of schedule. It’s beautiful. 22″ LCD screen. Nice wide screen action! I had one of the old and massive monitors before so this is a dream. It’s also Dual core. DUAL CORE baby! That is two Intel CPUs in my box, 2GB of RAM and a one Terabyte of harddrive space. I’m a happy camper 🙂 Unfortunately I’m having a problem with the onboard sound and I have to take it back to get fixed. Reinstalling the drivers did nothing. I called tech support, which is fairly irritating for me because the Men on these calls never think I have the knowledge I do. So this guy takes me through the same freaking steps I’ve already done many times over. Such a waste of time. I hate tech support. I’ll let you know the company I purchased with after I get this sound thing dealt …

A video I got…

Published by

I was asked to beta test BlogTV.ca. So I made this video for my Madvillian toy. The music is from Madvilliany, one of my favourite albums. I’m still figuring out how this works. While I was recording this I had this little speech and send some shout outs to blogtv and Magic pony, but that wasn’t picked up my the video camera’s mike. Boo Urns. One thing I don’t like is the autoplay. Sorry everyone. I hate it enough to move the video under the cut. Do check it out.

My mission on Boxing Day was to get some cheap Hunter Wellys. Some stores discounted them a little bit like TNT, Over the Rainbow, Aritiza and Capezio. Heel Boy didn’t even put them on sale and they aren’t part of the 2 for 1 sale they are having right now. I almost bought them from Heel Boy until I found out they weren’t part of the sale. I decided to wait it out and I’m glad I did because Over the Rainbow brought out the big guns, 50% off. The last pair in blue were a 38; it was like they were waiting for me. So, if you are looking for Hunter Wellingtons on the cheap, hit up Over the Rainbow. They had a bunch of green ones left and some of another style, The Hunter Lady N. Get them while they last. There is also a lot of other stuff on sale tshirts, tons of denim and sweaters. If anyone is looking for a full length Triple Five Soul jacket they should go very …

i got: Cat Butt Bag

Published by

I think I’m slowly becoming the crazy cat lady. You have seen the cutest cat bowl ever, come on you know, that image some like to hotlink. For Christmas I got the Cat Butt bag from a friend. The weird thing was is that I think it’s kinda cute. I’m not totally crazy, the cat butt gum, stickers and air fresheners are just too much for me. This post isn’t quite complete without photos of the little kitties.

La Senza Spirit vs. Tom Ford

Published by

I love La Senza Spirit. I don’t lounge around in activewear, I sweat and I run. I expect a lot of out of my gear. I recently bought some workout clothes and was very impressed with the fit and construction. Best of all, it’s way cheaper than Lululemon. I saw these sunglasses in the store recently. I love the shape and the frames. It should have been no surprise to me when I discovered that they were basically a knockoff of a pair by Tom Ford called Whitney The La Senza Spirit version are $16.50CAD, Tom Ford $300US. I tend to lose sunglasses a lot, so I will be looking at the cheap version. I was surprised at how cheap things are on sale at La Senza Spirit. I bought 2 pairs of capris at 20 bucks a piece, a pair of black pants (that fit amazing) for 30 bucks and 2 tank tops for $12.50 a piece. That’s 5 items for the price of one pair of lousy lululemon pants (I’m not a big …

i got: Foxy Originals Necklaces

Published by

Jasmine Necklace by Foxy Originals Chai Necklace Foxy had a booth in the small vendor area at L’Oreal Fashion Week. I have looked at different designs from Foxy before but never were jazzed by anything. These two necklaces however struck me. I picked up the Jasmine in bronze colour and Chai in gold. All necklaces from Foxy are made from pewter. Enamel, stones, leather and ultra-suede are incorporated in different pieces. images: foxyoriginals.com

Rendering judgement on the S/S 2007 collections

Published by

Gap Press has hit the newsstands. I don’t pay much attention to shows until the Gap Press books come out. I enjoy the experience much more with the magazines. My favourite collections: Balenciaga – I’m loving futurism shit. It’s all about the C3PO leggings, love them. Alexander McQueen – Of course, he can do no wrong in my book Christian Dior – JG took a step back this season and it’s amazing Miu Miu – Loved the pallet and prints Prada – Who cares if there were no pants Comme Des Garcons – The jackets were so incredible Dolce & Gabbana – I totally blew these guys off awhile ago. Boy was I wrong. The runway show was awesome too. God, that runway. images: modeinfo.com, fashionroom.it

I’m happy that I finally have my Stam inspired handbag now. Please note this is a real Stam bag. Town Shoes and Browns both had Marc Jacobs Stam inspired handbags this season. I spent many days wishfully looking at the bag and wondering if I should take the plunge. Well, Town Shoes made it irresistible, not only it was on sale, I got $25 dollars off. WOOT!. Dear Marc, If I could afford the real Stam, I would buy it, really I would 😀 image: www.frillr.com

Ever since I did The Owl Files Series (Apparel, Jewelry, Accessories), I’ve been on the lookout for Owl necklaces. It seems that they have reached critical mass and are now readily available in local stores. These pictures are pretty horrible, but you get the idea. These two came from Want Boutique at Yonge/St. Clair. The right one is very similar to necklaces that I featured in the post. These two came from Obsessions Fashion Accessories which is located in the Path of the TD Tower. It’s a great place to get jewelry. Four necklaces is looking a lot like a collection. I’ll have to talk about my other collections in later posts. I have a collection of vintage Adidas track jackets that need their praise.

I’m out of the patent club

Published by

I recently blogged about buying these great patent shoes. For those who haven’t read the comments, the damn things broke on me after I wore them for the first time. I took them back to Town Shoes and I thought I would get an immediate refund/exchange. This was clearly a manufacturer’s defect and I have a right to a new pair of shoes. Well, I was told that they would have to go to repair first and then they would see if they could fix them. These shoes couldn’t be repaired, I could tell. I was told it was policy and didn’t’ really push the issue. They would go to repair and I wouldn’t have to pay. I was told it would take a week and they would call. Thursday was a week and I had no call. So I decided to give them a call and find out what the hell was going on. They found the shoes in the store and they were still broken. I was prepared to give them hell about …

So I bit the bullet and got myself some patent shoes. I spent a lot of time looking at what was out there before I settled on Bea by O Oscar an Oscar de la Renta They have a little bit of a platform and they aren’t sky high like the styles that are out there. My favourite part is that they have a rounded toe. I picked these up at Town Shoes in Toronto and Zappos.com online. Now I need a black patent handbag to match. 🙂

i got: Beret and Suspenders from H&M

Published by

So I was browsing in H&M and decided that I needed a beret. A red beret. It was such a good price I couldn’t say no. Good thing too, cause it’s damn cold outside now. Snow is coming people, time to break out the wool jackets. I was all pleased with myself until a friend made a Guardian Angels comment. It”s not going to stop me though. I also decided on a complete whim to buy some black suspenders. I’ve never worn suspenders but I figured it would go great with my menswear outfit: tailored black pants, white tuxedo shirt, tie and black vest. I would never wear them as pictured above.

High fives by the magazine rack

Published by

So MJ and I are going to have dinner. We decide to stop at Indigo and check out the magazines. We freaked out when we discovered the Haute Couture issue of Gap Press were out. We snagged the last 2 copies and shreaked with joy. 8 glossy pages of Dior baby. I’ve come to realize that I hate looking at shows online. This is the second book I’ve purchased from Gap Press. I have to say that a glossy, ad-free book is the much better way to go. It was a little cheaper too, only $30 this time.

Gap Press Pret-a-Porter 2006-2007 Autumn & Winter Paris/London This magazine is awesome. All the shows from London and Paris are represented in one volume. The photography is beautiful. I can’t wait for the Haute Couture issue comes out. It’s a lot easier to browse this magazine instead of the many online offerings. It makes a great coffee table book also. It’s a little on the expensive side ($36), but if you love fashion it’s well worth it. Each season three issues are produced for Women’s collections: 1) Paris/London 2) Milan/New York 3) Tokyo/Barcelona/Madrid For Haute Couture and Menswear there is one issue each per season. I picked mine up at Indigo(Bay and Bloor) after a freaking wild goose chase around the city.

I’m not really a trend person, but I did latch on to the “white dress” phenomenon of S/S 2006, take this example from Chloe. I spent pretty much all spring and summer looking for that perfect white dress. Unfortunately, many I saw were too expensive, not quite right or just plain awful. I finally found what I was looking for on a recent trip to Stella Luna. I had always heard about this store, but just never made it to parkdale. This is by far the best vintage store in the city. I saw many items I liked.

Carnivale of Couture: Your best bargain

Published by

I usually read the Carnivale but never post. However this topic was perfect for me. Bargain Queen asks What is your best bargain? My best bargains are: 1. My Diesel Luna mules Retail $159.99 – Paid $20.00 2. My Diesel Sary boots Retail $209.99 – Paid $50.00 3. My new Chocolate Bossa Dress I imagine this can be considered a bargain, I paid a quarter of what it was actually worth.

i got: Chocolate Bossa Dress

Published by

Chocolate Bossa Dress This beauty is something I picked up at the Shopping Addicts Sample Sale on Wednesday. I checked the website before going to the sale because I was curious about the Brazilian clothing company Estudio Chocolate. I saw the pictures from the S/S 06 collection and drooled, never expecting to come face to face with this thing of beauty. I almost passed on the dress, but then decided to try it on. It was over at that point and now it’s hanging in my closet for the most perfect summer day. Check the back out after the jump

i got: Summer Soles

Published by

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.

i got…(Diesel Tulip Handbag)

Published by

Diesel Little Tulip Handbag I decided to reward myself with another handbag. On the weekend I visited Over the Rainbow and purchased this fun and colourful bag. It screams summertime fun and keeps me looking forward to warmer weather, sandals and summer dresses. Do not let the name fool you, this bag can hold a lot of stuff. It opens up to reveal a large zippered pocket in the middle.

i got: Air Cadet Overcoat

Published by

I was walking by Black Market on Tuesday and spotted a beautiful grey wool coat on the racks outside. I can spot a military jacket from 10 paces and blindfolded. It was my lucky day, I discovered a stash of RCAF Air Cadet overcoats. They are also referred to as Greatcoats The jacket also includes RCAF gold buttons, sweet. Price, you ready for this. 10 bucks. $11.50 with tax. SCORE! The best thing about this coat is the fit. The were made for adolescent boys, which translates to correct sizing for an adult woman with a military fetish. It’s not easy to find authentic military gear for a size 4. It’s a shame that this pictures make the coat so dark. The closest picture from the Internet I could find was this Picture taken from eBay If you are in the area you should take a look for yourself. There were about 10 more and in perfect condition. It’s just too bad it’s getting warm. Great find for next winter though. Black Market MEGA WAREHOUSE …
