Raphael Young shoes
How can you not resist a shoe inspired by Icarus.
Spring 2009, inspired by the samurai, looks like it will be just as interesting.
See more photos from the Fall Winter 2008 collection.

Alexander McQueen shoes
I’ve decided to change up my “i got…” posts this year and include some of the not necessarily new gems in my closet. To kick it off, a pair of Alexander McQueen heels I got during a Now or Never Sale at Holt Renfrew. I think they are from the Fall Winter 2007 – 2008 collection.
Diorshow Mascara
You might remember my last run in with blue mascara. I bought the Cargo stuff in April and I promptly threw it out in the fall. I was left without for a few months and decided to give the Diorshow Mascara in Blue Azure a shot. I had received a tester of some kind of Dior mascara at a fashion event and loved it.
Things I like about Diorshow
Things I don’t like
Overall, I like the product and it produces quality results even though those results are difficult to achieve. If the Ôscillation comes out with Blue it’s all over for Diorshow; it lengthens and curls without the need of an eyelash curler.
I love that Mariacarla has a major role in this campaign.

I showed you a sneak peek of the Madonna and Louis Vuitton -Spring Summer 2009 ad campaign images and now here are some more.
I like them all except for that crotch shot one, Oh Madonna.

I’m still loving Rad Hourani’s androgynous style. The pants are killer for me.
It was starting to get cold in Toronto and I needed a puffy down jacket. I have a lot of wool jackets that require way too many layers in the winter. I wanted a jacket that I could wear without a lot of layers. My ski jacket is down, but it’s not long enough.
It happened to be Buy Local Week when I started to I decided that I would buy a Canadian made jacket. My choices were slim, Canada Goose or CDN Spirit. I decided on the Cdn Spirit because Canada Goose is just too expensive, double the price.
I’m very, very happy with my purchase. The jacket is super warm and the fleece cuffs are a nice touch and keeps the wind from blowing up my sleeves. Cdn Spirit is carried by Sporting Life and Holly’s Fashions. I got mine at the Holly’s Fashion shop in the TD Centre.
The picture isn’t the best because I’m pretty lazy right now and can’t be bothered to take one.
Jean Claude Jitrois leather pants
Leather pants on are Nina Garcia’s 100, but I would usually say pass on them. However, french designer, Jean Claude Jitrois has changed my mind.

Jonathan Kelsey shoes
These boots have a armadillo quality to them that I enjoy.
When I was in NYC for the Spring 2008 collections I remember picking up a pair of Jonathan’s shoes to try on. They didn’t have my size and I had no idea how much they cost at that point or I wouldn’t have bothered.
Jonthan Kelsey is available at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street.

Blog Fight – Carlie Wong decided she just had to tell me how wrong my opinion is on a subjective subject, namely her Spring 2009 collection. Apparently, I should be looking to David Livingston for my fashion choices as he is all knowing. Nothing personal against David but there is only one man I trust with my fashion. However, Carlie’s attack was personal and well you can read it and see how it spiraled.
Ôscillation, Mascara by Lancôme. Thank you, thank you, thank you Adrian for this connection.
