i want: Chloé Spring 2007 Shoes
I’m loving the shoes from Chloé this season.
Chloé Piped leather sandals
These are pretty and I love the colour.
Chloé Perspex panel platform sandals
Chloé Patent leather sandals
These are so weird they are awesome.
I like the new Chloé, it was time to switch up the brand.
EDIT: Holt Renfew is carrying the silver version of the Piped leather sandals. They are stunning in person, it’s a shame that they aren’t in teal.

Stella McCartney for LeSportsac has arrived
Some of the new Stella McCartney for LeSportsac bags are nice. You all know I love the prints.
This is my favourite bag and print. It’s a big bag too. I love big bags 🙂
The collection is available for Pre-Order only online at the LeSportSac website. You will not see these in the stores apparently.
EDIT: I’m wrong, you can pick up the collection at Holt Renfrew. Thank you LouLou maybe I won’t let my subscription expire now.

I’m desperatly trying to find aristocrat jeans in toronto, would you know where they are sold?
There is a pair i want online, (see link) but I’ve never tried on that brand so i don’t know how the size fits, if not would you know how they fit?
Thanks
Hi Jennifer,
I don’t know of any stores in T.O. that sell aristocrat jeans. (If there are please leave a comment!) I’m surprised that Over the Rainbow doesn’t sell them. There are some stores in BC and Alberta. I personally am a little weary of buying jeans online without trying them on. However, if you find an online store with a good return policy you could get away with buying them and just returning them if they don’t fit right. I believe Revolve Clothing has a good policy. They also have a fit guide you can view.
However, you could also call either of the stores in Canada and ask the staff about the fit. It could give you a better idea of what size to get.
Basquiat – 1189 Hamilton St., Vancouver
Moule – Winnipeg, Vancouver
Good luck.
