Go Run Easy

Last week, I attended the Reebok Run Easy media and celeb breakfast. We all gathered at the Toronto Argonauts Rowing club for the presentation. Getting there was a total fiasco. Crossing Lake Shore Blvd in the morning is a nightmare and to top it off my cab driver dropped me off in the wrong spot. I thought it couldn’t get worst, then I find out we’re running this morning. Ugh, not what I want to do at all. Thankfully, Reebok is providing the running gear. I was given a bag of Reebok goodies (running jacket, pant and a t-shirt) when I signed in. I moved into another room to get my shoes fitted. I sat down beside Jackie Henessey (I thought it was Jill, my favourite D.A. from Law and Order and recently on Crossing Jordan) and said hi. I also cooed at her cute baby. I was wearing the Anita cuff and she asked me about it. I explained the story of how it was designed for me and let her know that she …

i got…

A BinBin Striped Dress This was a great find at the BinBin Sample Sale. It goes great with my other nautical inspired gear. I’m loving the mini trend this summer so I’ve been obsessed with finding more.

i want…

There are 2 silver shoes this Spring/Summer 2007 season that have me captivated. First is these Romy silver booties by Gucci. So perfect, so my style. Second are these great sandals by Louis Vuitton I’ve been looking for something similar and cheaper all over town and haven’t had luck. Those of you that can afford this stuff in Toronto check Holt’s for the Gucci boots and Louis Vuitton for the sandals. I finally got my silver fix satisfied thanks to Nine West (more to come on that). images: style.com and louisvuitton.com

i got: An Anita Cuff by WhiteLotus Design

An Anita Cuff by WhiteLotus Design Yes, I have a WhiteLotus Design cuff named after me. Thank you to the lovely Edina Racz the designer behind WhiteLotus Design. I’m really honoured to be thought of like this and slightly embarrassed. The WhiteLotus booth was quite busy at the Clothing Show, did any readers buy anything from Edina?

i want…

Beatrix Ong shoes I discovered Beatrix Ong through Cool Hunting post, who discovered it through the ever so cool, Refinery 29. Cool shoes are never sold in Canada, sigh. They are pretty much everywhere else in the world, even Moscow! This is one amazing summer sandal. I wonder if I can find something similar in Toronto.

Kate Moss Topshop

Kate Moss Topshop Like most celebrity clothing lines I am bored with Kate Moss’s Topshop venture. I do like this dress though. What do you guys think of the line? It seems like a lot of hype for pretty boring clothes. And isn’t the midriff thing dead yet? EDIT: Catwalk Queen live blogged the whole event and shows us some of the outfits on real people. I’m not dissing the people here, I’m dissing the clothes, so let’s get that straight first. The dress I like (above) doesn’t stand up to the reality factor. Check out the other looks – striped hotpants and waistcoat, chiffon one-shoulder dress and halter mini and the floral dress & red jeans with video also. I find the formal dresses particularly bad, especially the one with the vest. ANOTHER EDIT: fashionista.com gives their verdict on the white one-shoulder dress. Susie Stylebubble adds her 2 cents on the line

i want… The Clothing Show edition – Moonrox

In honour of the Clothing Show (May 5- 6, 2007) I will featuring my favourite designers that you can find at the show. This special “i want…” features Moonrox. Moonrox jewelery has been featured on I want – I got previously and I also interviewed designer Monique Chan on blogTO. I’m in love with this bracelet, it screams summertime to me. All photos are from Monique’s new collection.

i want… The Clothing Show edition – Passenger Pigeon

In honour of the Clothing Show (May 5- 6, 2007) I will featuring my favourite designers that you can find at the show. This special “i want…” features Passenger Pigeon. I’ve been a fan of the eco-friendly fashion created by Heather Schibli from Passenger Pigeon. I’ve featured PP twice before on I want – I got and posted an interview on blogTO.
