Hi

I just wanted to let readers know that if your comment goes into my moderation queue, it’s not because I don’t like you. I’ve been getting bombarded with spam, which was manageable until the trackback spam started. So I have had to add an extra layer of security on the comments. If your comment gets stuck, I will have them posted by the end of the day, my work doesn’t allow me to access my blog.

Thanks for your patience and fuck you spammers! 😛

Celeb designers need to stop

This is just one of the fugly shoes from House of Dereon. I remember seeing these shoes in the store one day (I can’t remember what one). I laughed my ass off. Not only where they freakin’ ugly, they were almost $300 bucks. Of course, they are made in china and are going to be complete crap. Don’t say I didn’t warn you if you fall for this crap. I wonder if that fur is from a cat or a dog, I’ve heard some of the horror stories about China fur.

Cougar Winter Boots

If you were a child living in Canada in the 80s, like me, then you remember Cougar boots. Man, these things are like a blast from the past. I want a pair of these again. I would totally rock these. If the 80s are back, I should be reliving the good things of that era

I found these at the Canadian Design Resource site. It’s amazing for all things canadian. Check out the fashion links.

Rendering judgement on the S/S 2007 collections

Gap Press has hit the newsstands. I don’t pay much attention to shows until the Gap Press books come out. I enjoy the experience much more with the magazines.

My favourite collections:

Balenciaga – I’m loving futurism shit. It’s all about the C3PO leggings, love them.
Alexander McQueen – Of course, he can do no wrong in my book
Christian Dior – JG took a step back this season and it’s amazing
Miu Miu – Loved the pallet and prints
Prada – Who cares if there were no pants
Comme Des Garcons – The jackets were so incredible
Dolce & Gabbana – I totally blew these guys off awhile ago. Boy was I wrong. The runway show was awesome too. God, that runway.

I’m happy that I finally have my Stam inspired handbag now.

Please note this is a real Stam bag.

Town Shoes and Browns both had Marc Jacobs Stam inspired handbags this season. I spent many days wishfully looking at the bag and wondering if I should take the plunge. Well, Town Shoes made it irresistible, not only it was on sale, I got $25 dollars off. WOOT!.

Dear Marc, If I could afford the real Stam, I would buy it, really I would 😀

Ever since I did The Owl Files Series (Apparel, Jewelry, Accessories), I’ve been on the lookout for Owl necklaces. It seems that they have reached critical mass and are now readily available in local stores.

These pictures are pretty horrible, but you get the idea.

These two came from Want Boutique at Yonge/St. Clair. The right one is very similar to necklaces that I featured in the post.

These two came from Obsessions Fashion Accessories which is located in the Path of the TD Tower. It’s a great place to get jewelry.

Four necklaces is looking a lot like a collection. I’ll have to talk about my other collections in later posts. I have a collection of vintage Adidas track jackets that need their praise.

Just a reminder

Hi,

I got an email today with a person requesting invoices from me. Of course I didn’t know WTF she was talking about and thought she was a scammer. I wrote back a fairly nasty email cause I hate scammers. For some reason, that baffles my mind, she thought I was associated with a particular company. Amazingly, she didn’t have the contact information for this company even though they had been billed.

I DON’T WORK FOR ANY OF THESE COMPANIES. I want – I got is NOT a business. Do you see any advertising here. I don’t make money off this, it’s purely for pleasure.
