Tigrito by Alessi
I loved this cat bowl from the first time I laid eyes on it. It is the cutest cat product I’ve ever seen. The two bowls are perfect for people with two cats like me.

Viktor & Rolf at H&M – girl on girl violence
I did not attend. I really though about it for a moment. I’m just not ready to beat people for H&M clothes. Real Viktor & Rolf clothes at H&M prices would warrant me getting into the girl stomping mood. I’d make sure to wear my best stomping boots. I was in H&M on Friday and a sale associate told me the collection sold out in 15 mins. He also mentioned that it was ugly. I did see few pairs of the tuxedo pants left. They didn’t seem any different in quality to any other H&M product.
I thought the collection was pretty nice overall and there was a few pieces I liked. The only thing I wasn’t jazzed about the hearts. I don’t think I’ll ever try to buy anything from an H&M collection, even if it was Alexander McQueen. It’s just too much trouble and I don’t care enough.

Cream Wool Owl Bucket Hat
Cream Wool Owl Bucket Hat by My Perennial
Love this cute little owl.
oh hell no
Fendi, why!
These shoes are from the SS2007 collection. I just don’t get the kitten heel, they look a little unstable to me.
geekiviews: The Slanket
Gary Clegg sent me a message and asked me to review his product, The Slanket. I was surprised at first. Why would someone want my opinion. So I decided to give Gary what he asked for, my opinion on the Slanket. He had the decency to ask and he was the first to do so.
First off, what the hell is a Slanket? Basically, it’s a blanket with sleeves. It’s not a cuddle wrap. There are no buttons and zippers. It’s dubbed “The best blanket ever”. I have to agree. I fell in love with the Slanket at first sight, it hadn’t even arrived at my house yet. I have a cuddle wrap. It’s broken because the snaps have come off. No snaps, no arms. The Slanket didn’t have the limitation and the arm holes are much more advanced than the crude cuddle wrap. Gary had me sold. All he needed to do was delivery on the quality side of the equation. The blanket is made from 300gsm (grams per square meter) polar fleece. It’s extremely thick and warm. I am very impressed with the materials and construction. The stitching on the blanket is perfection. The size of the Slanket is accommodating to all people, tall or short.
The Slanket is great for gamers, avid readers and tv junkies. I personally think the Slanket makes a great cat petting blanket as you can see from my photo. It’s taking the world by storm and is now available in over 20 countries. I think this Christmas will be the one of the Slanket. It’s perfect for the cottage and car camping. I can see Grandmothers and new Moms really liking the Slanket. It has been featured in numerous blogs, print and media outlets. They are hoping to get the word “slanket” in the Oxford Dictionary in 2010.
The Slanket gets a big thumbs up for me. First off your have a great design idea. This is a product everyone can use, young and old. Second you have a great quality product. Gary and his team didn’t skimp out on the finer details; the materials and construction are excellent.
You can purchase The Slanket online for $48.95 + shipping. There are no Canadian distributors at the moment, but I can see that changing soon. The Slanket is a really hot item and many retailers are interested.
Thanks Gary for asking my opinion. I am willing to review products for anyone who feels my opinion is worth something, just drop me a note using the handy contact form.

Fall Winter 2006 shoes from Maloles
I featured Maloles shoes before and I just discovered their fall line up.
I love the asymmetrical opening on these boots. I bet they sit nicely against the leg and look great with skirts.
I’ve seen a lot of these box toe ballerina flats, I love them.
These ones look like they have a little face.
I’m out of the patent club
I recently blogged about buying these great patent shoes. For those who haven’t read the comments, the damn things broke on me after I wore them for the first time. I took them back to Town Shoes and I thought I would get an immediate refund/exchange. This was clearly a manufacturer’s defect and I have a right to a new pair of shoes. Well, I was told that they would have to go to repair first and then they would see if they could fix them. These shoes couldn’t be repaired, I could tell. I was told it was policy and didn’t’ really push the issue. They would go to repair and I wouldn’t have to pay. I was told it would take a week and they would call.
Thursday was a week and I had no call. So I decided to give them a call and find out what the hell was going on. They found the shoes in the store and they were still broken. I was prepared to give them hell about them not even being sent out when I was offered a store credit or exchange. Town Shoes has renewed my faith in them again. It was starting to waver.

i want: Urban Soft Flowers by Hunter by Bonder boots
Urban Soft Flowers by Hunter by Bonder boots
That fact that I love these modified Hunter Wellingtons is proof that I am totally insane. It makes no sense why I like these. None at all.
I like these obnoxious things.
Check out the details. The covering reminds me of cheese cloth? Well, you’ll never see me sporting these. They cost a wopping $808. They don’t have much function as a rain boot either. Maybe they are for fashionable gardeners.
