Boots by Chanel I noticed these boots browsing the Chanel Spring 06 couture show pictures . I have no idea why I am drawn to these. They are just so “smart” looking. Classic and clean. I like strange shoes. Thank god I’ll never be able to afford them, then I don’t have to worry about what I would wear with them. Take a look at the pictures from the Chanel couture show, there are some beautiful pieces.
A Kim White Handbag 1974 AMC -Brown & Orange Molecular Leather Trim Grommet Bag I discovered these bags while looking at Sustainable Style. Kim White Handbags are the perfect bag: functional, stylish and comfortable, made in the most amazing fabrics known to man. Why are Kim White Handbags so special? Made from vintage automotive fabrics, Kim White uses dead stock never-used textiles intended for use in American automobiles: cars, trucks and vans. She fortuitously unearthed an entire warehouse of automotive fabric, which may be the last existing stock anywhere in the US, and she is the sole owner of these amazing textiles. Each Kim White Handbag is tagged with the year and make of the fabric, so you know exactly what car your bag comes from (i.e.: 1983 Camaro or a 1978 Ford Mustang). Kim White Handbags specializes in automotive fabrics from the 1970’s and 1980’s, when color was de rigueur in the automotive industry. (source)
Blue Tweed Wellington Boots The nasty weather in T.O has me thinking about Wellies again. I’ve talked about Wellies before on I want – I got. They were really cool, but unfortunately an art project. Toile Wellington Boots These printed ones by Tamara Henriques are very nice, but I love the classic black. For you girlie girls they have many kitten heel rain boots like this n Canada you can purchase them at Forty Mile Creek. They don’t have the complete collection, but more choice than other online retailers I checked. via Lifestyle Navigator

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 opened my email after work today and I just about had a heart attack! Threadless has hoodies now! HOODIES, people, HOODIES. Best of all they have my all time favourite t-shirt printed as a hoodie. Damn Scientists I placed an order and I’ll be eagerly waiting for it to arrive. The small sizes went damn quick. The email arrived at 5:55pm. I placed my order at 7:30P.M. and by that time they were gone. Boo urns. There were some other styles that you can view here: Pandamonium Radios – I really like this one too!!!

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!
Nooka Zoo V2 watch I just recently lost my Paul Frank watch, grrr. I lose watches a lot and I stopped buying them, except for the recent Paul Frank purchase. Figures I lose it. These beauties however might make me change my mind on spending a lot of money on watches. I promise not to lose you! I really like this version also Nooka Zoo [classic] Nooka is the ancient Amararunk’thuh word meaning “future is now”. Nooka is a contraction of “New Yorker” as pronounced with a native New York accent. Nooka is a the first part of “New York” and the last part of “Osaka”– expressing the global aesthetic of its creator.

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 always think of something really, really important in the shower. Of course, as soon as I get out, that important tidbit is now gone to the ether. This allows you to record those brilliant pieces of thinking so you don’t forget later.

Fluevog Shoes
I’ve never owned a pair of Fluevogs, even though I’ve pined over them for more than 10 years now. They aren’t for everyone, but I love the quirkness of them. I noticed a really wicked pair on Manolo the Shoeblogger’s site
Bev
Beautiful straight lines. If I needed a new pair of black boots, these would be in the running. I browsed the Fluevog site some more and discovered

Secret Garden Print Bag by Marc Jacobs Summer Check Bag by Burberry London I usually despise Burberry. Totally Chav crap in my mind. This bag has softened me a bit. It’s just so colourful and fun.
Airyusha Robotan Toilet Paper Holder
I have 2 cats. I love them dearly but 1 has a habit of destroying rolls of toilet paper. If she can reach the paper it’s done. I’ve had to remove them from the holder because she just goes to town on it. This Robotan toilet paper holder would be amazing. It doesn’t mount anywhere so I could just place it on the counter or shelf. Even for all it’s practical reasons the most impressive thing about this is that it’s so damn cute!!!

I discovered this New York designer via local blogger La Femme (visit her site, it’s pretty freakin’ rockin’). Lauren Felton’s designs are very modern/futuristic looking (which I love being a total nerd). I really love her dresses and sleeveless tops.
Lauren’s trademark is an intellectual and sculptural approach to construction, and a thoughtful and serene beauty that unites each piece. Her clothes can be reconfigured and worn in multiple ways to create new and altered garments, for different moments and different moods.

BCBG Max Azria Stand Collar Coat
I am head over heels in love with this coat. Click this link, you need to see a larger version of this picture. You need to look at that collar closely. This coat is dramatic, a statement ( I honestly didn’t lift that from the Nordstrom’s site, I noticed the similarity afterwards). If you are a size 12, Nordstrom is the place to buy. I’ll be keeping my eyes out on eBay though.

You might remember a past “I want…” post featuring the Anticon Hoodie.
Well, they went on sale late last week. You can order online here. They retail for $105.00US. Shipping to Canada is a hefty $27.18 US (Total CDN $152.87), and then their is Mr. Taxman at the border. I’m not sure what the duty would be on this item. While I love hoodies, the unexpected suprise Taxman hit will prevent me from ordering as of yet. Perhaps if the word spreads and the hoodie takes off, we’ll see some local availablity.
A Boba Fett print by Dave White
God I love Boba Fett! Remember here people, I may love fashion, but I’m a nerd at heart. Boba has always been my favourite Star Wars character. Even though George Lucas basically ruined the Boba Fett mysticque in Episode 1, I still love him. How much do I love Boba, enought to share my living room with a cardboard cutout. I’ve had this cutout for about 10 years now. Jesus, 10 years, 😀
Well I found this print on a site called Hypebeast, check it out!
I got a friendly email the other day notifying me of a shopping website called Red Apple. I had already heard of Red Apple at this point and even visited their site briefly. This email was a friendly nudging to write a post. About Red Apple,
Simply a guide for absolutely-normal-women who want to see their life a bit through rose-coloured spectacles thanks to a pair of sandals, a new bag or some sunglasses. And having a chat with friends in front a coffee. Here you can find pictures, photos, prices and shop addresses. An everyday dress, which like magic becomes made to measure. For you and me.
They have some cute ass branding too, check this out

I’m not one for Nike shoes, but these dunks are so sweet I can forget my hate. While beautiful and fly, these shoes are little out of my acceptable “sneaker price” limit. They probably wouldn’t have my size anyways.
They = Goodfoot. That’s where you can pick up these babies.
I was browsing The Bag Blog and discovered Tano. They have some really nice bags. So many nice bags, that I’m so glad I’m on wordpress now, cause this is gonna be a big post. 😛
Good news, these bags are available in the T-dot at

Many things by Smythe Les Vests I was reading Fashion Notes in Now Magazine and they mentioned Smythe because of their recent popularity. I decided to see what the fuss was about. They have some beautiful jackets (and a vest) that I have been salivating over. “Designer development We love a great Toronto fashion success story, and Christie Smythe ‘s and Andrea Lenczner ‘s tale of global blazer domination has just turned another fantastic page. Their Smythe line of just jackets has been a hit with hometown fashion folks and the Barney’s blonds set in New York City. This spring, London ladies hunting for smart oxford cloth waistcoats and shrunken double-breasted sailor jackets can pick up their collection at UK style mecca Harvey Nichols. www.smythelesvestes.com“.(source)
