Od to a new job…

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. Starting with a good old Canadian boy, Jeremy Laing Roland Mouret

Why go for the inspired version…

when you can have the real thing. I’ve previously blogged about my love of riding boots. I happened to be searching The Fashion Spot and noticed the companies Dehner and Ariat. These two companies make real riding boots and they are hot as hell. 3 Buckle Field Boots by Dehner All I needed to read was “Originally designed for the US Horse Cavalry”. These by far are my favourite of the bunch. I would like black leather though. Dress Boot by Dehner The Horse Cavalry boots give off a more ass kicking vibe which isn’t always appropriate that is where the Dress boot comes in. These boots by Dehner certainly aren’t cheap, but god they are beautiful. They also come in a variety of different leathers. You can find Canadian retailers here. The two boots I like from Ariat lean towards the classic variety. They both are only available in black leather. Hunter Dress Boot Zip Crowne Pro Field Boot Zip You can find Ariat retailers in canada here. [tags]Ariat, Dehner, Riding+boots, shopping, shoes, fashion, …

i want: Frye Boots

I’ve been interested in Frye boots in passing for a few years now. If I was to own a motorcycle (which I hope at some point) I would definitely own these. I checked out Frye‘s website and found some other items I like Love, love, love these guys. Nice and tall. Same goes for these The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. The Company was founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a well to do shoemaker from England. John A. Frye ran the business for nearly 50 years. (source) Frye boots are available at many shops in the GTA. Here are a few that I know of for sure. Bootmaster – 609 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario Rockin’ Cowboy – 754 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario Western Corral – 1982 Avenue Road, North York, Ontario B2 and Browns usually have a small selection of Frye boots for sale also.

Geox is getting closer

I was in the Eaton Centre today and noticed that there is going to be a Geox store opening. This is very exciting. Geox makes the most comfortable shoes you will ever wear. They keep your feet cool and dry all day long, no matter how long you wear them. I own these boots and I love them, I wish I had a black pair. There is a store in Yorkdale already. It’s not surprising that I didn’t know this, I haven’t been up to Yorkdale since they renovated. Too far. Geox also makes dress, casual and sport shoes for men, women and kids. They even have outerwear. All products use their patented system.

Adicolor is coming

Wow, as an Adidas lover, I’m very excited about the adicolor Colour Series In Spring/Summer 2006 Adidas Originals brings back an iconic footwear concept that celebrates the touchpoints of self expression, customization and unlimited personal involvement: adicolor. In two main bursts the Sport Heritage division re-introduces a classic collection of customizable footwear and takes a step forward by adding apparel and accessories to the capsule collection. The original adicolor concept was launched onto the sportswear market at the Ispo Fair in Munich in 1983. At this time Adidas offered pure white footwear models with specially created quick drying and weatherproof pens. This innovative approach to training shoes allowed every consumer to interact and produce their very own pair of sneakers. For this reason the shoes from this collection have achieved cult status. To reflect the endless style possibilities of adicolor, the range of 2006 will be enhanced by a set of comprehensive, sophisticated customization tools ranging from felt-tip pens to spray paints and more. In addition, the adicolor collection will be divided in two major …

i want…

Boots by Chanel I noticed these boots browsing the Chanel Spring 06 couture show pictures . I have no idea why I am drawn to these. They are just so “smart” looking. Classic and clean. I like strange shoes. Thank god I’ll never be able to afford them, then I don’t have to worry about what I would wear with them. Take a look at the pictures from the Chanel couture show, there are some beautiful pieces.

Nike & Goodfoot presents Joga Bonito

Last night I attended a party at Goodfoot. A really cool Joga Bonito installation was done by Virus. There was also an advanced preview of Nike’s Motion Capture Court Force. Yes, it was a shoe opening, LOL. Free booze and nibbles though. I spent most of my time looking at people’s shoes. Let me tell you there was a lot nice sneakers in the place. Nike was the dominate shoe of choice. It was also funny to see grown men get upset when they noticed someone else wearing their shoes or choice accessory of the night. LOL, guys can be just as bad as chicks. Now on to the shoes. I’ve mentioned that I’m not much of a Nike fan. I like some of their shoes in theory, but would never purchase them. The new Motion Capture Court Force shoes are nice, my favourite being the black pair. I just love the details on the laces. You can view more about the shoes here and here.
