i just can’t get enough…of Mackage! all i want is Mackage, Mackage & more Mackage. not too much to ask for, right? so, where & when is the next sample sale in Toronto & how do i get on this list for invite????
I’ve never gotten any Mackage sample sale invites for the Toronto area before. I can’t say I’ve hear of one happening in the GTA either.
However, they do have sample sales in Montreal where they are based out of. Sign up to their mailing list and they will email you when it happens. This season’s sale happened in October. I’m not sure if it’s a yearly occurrence.
Now is a good time to look at stores that sell Mackage for fall winter clearance sales.
Try the following stores:
Over The Rainbow
Artizia
Holt Renfrew
Browns Shoes
Body Blue
Mendocino
TNT
Yes, that is right people. I bought the Blade Runner – The Ultimate Collectors Edition DVDs over the christmas break.
The Final Cut is a visual masterpiece. My jaw was on the floor while watching it, it’s stunning. I love me some Roy.
I haven’t watched the documentary Dangerous Days yet, it’s 3.5 hours.

I’m kinda looking forward to a season of no reward shows. No actors are going to the Golden Globes, I wonder if they will boycott the Oscars too. One can only pray, I don’t care much for all the award show fashion coverage and the mostly boring, uninspiring, ugly gowns.
This is a very beautiful dress from the Lanvin Spring 2008 Ready to Wear collection. I saw it months ago, it wasn’t a fav and I completely forgot it existed until….
Daria put it on and Terry Richardson took a picture. It looks fantastic and so full of movement. I love it.

So what will happen with I want – I got in 2008. Frankly, I haven’t thought about it. I have two goals, update my friend links and write more. That’s about all for now.
Last year my goal was to up my presence (whatever that means) and I think I accomplished that. Traffic was increasing steadily month by month. I still have to do some stat digging to see where the increase came from.
I’ve never posted my stats before, but it’s not really a secret anyway. Click the image to get a bigger version. The green line is from 2006. It’s flat until about May because that is when I got my Google Analytics account. The blue is 2007. I had a few crazy blips of traffic thanks to my Lululemon warehouse post and Boxing Day. They are pretty visible in the graph. I wish webstats could give me an age range too. I have no idea about the age demographic for I want – I got. After seeing the way things went down in the Boxing Day at Artizia post, I wonder.
I have also noticed a growing number of returning visitors. I love you guys, thanks so much. This blog really is a labour of love and I’m not making money off it as of yet. I have no idea if or when that will happen. The hosting is paid for till November so I’m not worried.
Over this photo of Cate Blanchett. I need to see this movie.
