How nice of Mackage to name a coat after me. LOL.
I saw this beautiful coat on the Browns website and fell in love. It was only when I went looking for good pictures did I find out that the coat is named Anita (geekigirl’s alter ego). And they know me so well, it’s military inspired. YES!!!!!
Mackage coats are available at a lot of places in TO, to many to list actually. If you go to their website and click stores, they will happily email you the list.

Sailor Jacket by Smythe Les Vests
Smythe is at it again with some beautiful jackets. I really like that the sailor influence is everywhere this spring. I’ve been rocking sailor pants for years now, so it’s about time people caught up. LOL

I started a new job on Monday. I’m still in software, just back to my favourite stomping grounds, the business district. I worked for 3 years at a company that didn’t have a dress code. I could pretty much wear whatever I wanted. So I spent most of my time in jeans. Now that I’m working for a financial institution I have to look a lot more professional. Thankfully, I didn’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe. I’m a clothes horse and have a far bit of professional attire. Not enough suits though, so I’ve been looking.
This post is about if I had unlimited funds to buy clothes for my new job. If I could afford these clothes I probably wouldn’t need to work. I took a look through the Spring/Summer 06 collections and this is what I found.

Sponsors for the WWF CN Tower Climb
For the last 4 years I have taken part in the World Wildlife Fund’s CN Tower Climb. It’s a great fundraiser for the environment with an amazing organization. The climb takes place on April 29, 2006 for the public.
I hope some of the readers of I want – I got would like to help the WWF. You can do that by to sponsoring me in the climb. You can pledge online at my WWF CN Tower Climb webpage.
If you would like to feel the rush of climbing the world’s tallest freestanding structure you can sign up here.
The kind people at Stylehive have featured I want – I got on their blog. Check it out at the Stylehive Blog.
There are more than a few social bookmarking sites out there. There are fewer that allow pictures to be displayed. The most recent one I’ve tried and liked is Stylehive. Like other social bookmarking tools users choose a picture from a website when creating the bookmark. These pictures are also usually very small (150×150). With Stylehive you can attach many full sized pictures to a bookmark. I like this a lot. You can check out my Stylehive.
The software tester in me is hoping that Edit bookmark and Delete bookmark functions will be in the final release. I’ve made some mistakes that I would like to correct, LOL. It would be cool also to see a function where you could display a bookmark from the user’s hive on their website. The site is in Alpha currently and open for registration. I’m sure there are more good things to come.
