The Secret World of Haute Couture

I want to tell you about a club I’ve heard of. It’s secret, highly exclusive. There are no written rules to decide if you can or can’t join. There’s no official committee to vote you in. This club has got only about 200 members in the entire world, all women. What they have in common is the desire and the means to acquire the most expensive clothes that money can buy.
Edit: I’ve found a single youTube video for this great documentary. Enjoy it in it’s entirety now.
I love LeSportsac’s prints
I’ve always thought LeSportsac was a little too expensive for a nylon bag; it has the Prada syndrome. That being said, I did by a Tokidoki messenger bag by Le Sportsac because it was damn cute. The prints are something this company does damn well.

Please tell me you read Cute Overload!
Totally off topic, but Cute Overload is the best and I always makes me feel better after viewing its cute animal goodness.
Hotlinking isn’t cool XXXXXXXXXers!
I’ve noticed a lot of people have taken to hotlinking images from my site. It’s not cool, that’s my bandwidth you are using aXXXXXXs! I’ll be taking steps in the next few weeks to make sure that if you hotlink an image from my site, you’ll get a nasty surprise instead of the expected image.
If you want to use an image you see on I want – I got, download it and host it on your own damn server!
UDPATE: After thinking about it this post was a little harsh. So, I’ve edited the language abit. I just wanted to let hotlinkers know that I’m pissed. Hotlinking is NOT COOL and just plain rude. There are many free image hosting services available to everyone on the net. So, please don’t do it.
i want: Night City Scarf by Gillian Rode
A Night City Scarf by Gillian Rode
The fabric is brass that has been enameled and it’s unbelievably flexible and fluid and will last a lifetime. It is not rigid and moves just like fabric. Each hexagon is 1/8″ in diameter and they are machine linked together.
Yay, more local goodies. This time we have Toronto resident Gillian Rode. I do believe that someone wore the Night City Scarf at the Buy Design for Windfall photoshoot last weekend. Can you spot it? It looks like the model from the above shots.

Arthur in New York
I hear we will have another Canadian to cheer during New York Fashion Week, it’s Arthur Mendonça.
Congrats Arthur, I can’t wait to see the show. Unfortunately it will be online like most people, I’m not attending the fall shows in New York this season. 🙁

blog.mode – The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s fashion blog
When I was in NYC the Costume Institute at the MET was closed. So I was excited to see the new MET blog called blog.mode: addressing fashion – The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Each post features an item from their collection and there are some really beautiful pieces.
i got: Goffredo Fantini boots
Since the beginning of the fall I’ve been obsessed with finding a knee high pair of flat, black boots. I looked all over, most of the perfect boots I saw were out of my price range (damn you Prada). Others were just plain ugly. I thought a pair of Miss Sixty boots were going to be my savior, but then I tried them on and they sucked.
On the urging of a friend, I decided to check out Zola Shoes. I had been at Zola before the Xmas rush and they didn’t have my size in the shoes I liked. However, this time it was love at first sight when I saw these.
They aren’t quite flat, but the hardware on the shaft of the boot is killer.
