when you can have the real thing. I’ve previously blogged about my love of riding boots. I happened to be searching The Fashion Spot and noticed the companies Dehner and Ariat. These two companies make real riding boots and they are hot as hell. 3 Buckle Field Boots by Dehner All I needed to read was “Originally designed for the US Horse Cavalry”. These by far are my favourite of the bunch. I would like black leather though. Dress Boot by Dehner The Horse Cavalry boots give off a more ass kicking vibe which isn’t always appropriate that is where the Dress boot comes in. These boots by Dehner certainly aren’t cheap, but god they are beautiful. They also come in a variety of different leathers. You can find Canadian retailers here. The two boots I like from Ariat lean towards the classic variety. They both are only available in black leather. Hunter Dress Boot Zip Crowne Pro Field Boot Zip You can find Ariat retailers in canada here. [tags]Ariat, Dehner, Riding+boots, shopping, shoes, fashion, …

i want: Frye Boots

Published by

I’ve been interested in Frye boots in passing for a few years now. If I was to own a motorcycle (which I hope at some point) I would definitely own these. I checked out Frye‘s website and found some other items I like Love, love, love these guys. Nice and tall. Same goes for these The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. The Company was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a well to do shoemaker from England. John A. Frye ran the business for nearly 50 years. (source) Frye boots are available at many shops in the GTA. Here are a few that I know of for sure. Bootmaster – 609 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario Rockin’ Cowboy – 754 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario Western Corral – 1982 Avenue Road, North York, Ontario B2 and Browns usually have a small selection of Frye boots for sale also.

Chemistry book bag by Rebound Designs I already have one book bag from Caitlin, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It was love at first sight, well almost. I really wanted The Odyssey or The Iliad, but alas they were not available. Old hardcover books are reworked into beautiful handbags. Caitlin has a good FAQ for those that are interested in her book bag making process. Items are always changing on her site, so keep checking. Chemistry is still available but gems like Great Expectations, Calculus and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy have been bought up. These one of a kind items are only available online.

Adicolor is coming

Published by

Wow, as an Adidas lover, I’m very excited about the adicolor Colour Series In Spring/Summer 2006 Adidas Originals brings back an iconic footwear concept that celebrates the touchpoints of self expression, customization and unlimited personal involvement: adicolor. In two main bursts the Sport Heritage division re-introduces a classic collection of customizable footwear and takes a step forward by adding apparel and accessories to the capsule collection. The original adicolor concept was launched onto the sportswear market at the Ispo Fair in Munich in 1983. At this time Adidas offered pure white footwear models with specially created quick drying and weatherproof pens. This innovative approach to training shoes allowed every consumer to interact and produce their very own pair of sneakers. For this reason the shoes from this collection have achieved cult status. To reflect the endless style possibilities of adicolor, the range of 2006 will be enhanced by a set of comprehensive, sophisticated customization tools ranging from felt-tip pens to spray paints and more. In addition, the adicolor collection will be divided in two major …
