i want: Olympia Black Leather Sandals – Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent

Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Olympia Black Leather Sandals You wouldn’t know by the weather in Toronto but it’s Springtime and I’m getting sandals on the brain. I’m kinda over my gladiators. I barely wore them last year as I didn’t have the heart. There were too many bad knee-high gladiator boot sandal things going on and in horrible colour schemes too. I’m now looking for more interesting sandals to fill the void. This is where these Olympia Black Leather Sandals from Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent come in. You can purchase these sandals through the Canadian online retailer S|Sense. Shipping is free for Canada.

i want: Stellite Limited Edition Ring by Stefania Lucchetta

Stellite Limited Edition Ring by Stefania Lucchetta This is one of the coolest rings I’ve seen. It’s made of this material called Stellite, which is a cobalt-chromium alloy.

Available online only. Stefanie Lucchetta website P.S. Luisaviaroma.com ships to Canada, US and Europe for free!

i want: Alexander McQueen leggings 

I was a fan of Alexander McQueen’s print crazy Spring 2009 collection. These leggings are so amazing and so expensive. I hoping they are like hand printed or something like that. They are made from lycra and very beautiful in person. Skeleton-print Lycra leggings, Crystal print leggings, Eiffel Tower leggings, Alexander McQueen Eiffel Tower top To be totally badass I would love to pair the Eiffel Tower leggings with the Alexander McQueen Eiffel Tower top and a pair of Metallic shoe boots. Holt Renfrew is carrying the Crystal print and the wood grain print leggings at the Bloor Street store. images: net-a-porter.com

i want: Omelle Shoes

I just discovered this incredible shoe company called Omelle. They have some great original designs that aren’t too girly. They have an edge. Artist by Omelle The Artist is my favourite in the amazing Spring 2009 collection, it has a very different design. Check out the back of this shoe, HOT people, HOT! Dillon by Omelle There is no one in Toronto selling these (What is wrong with Toronto!!!!!) but you can get them in Vancouver at Baccis.

Have you been in H&M recently…

I have a real hate on for the spring merchandise in H&M recently. It’s terrible in there. I’m amazed at how awful everything is. Mind you I’m not impressed with Zara or Club Monaco right now either, but there are still some decent pieces in those stores. They are actually attempting to follow the trends for the season for people to purchase. I can’t tell what trends H&M are going for at all. This is Dallas tshirt has made me write off H&M this season. It’s offends all my fashion sensibilities and I pray I never see it on the streets.

i want: Miss Lanvin Dolls

There are a few of the Miss Lanvin porcelain dolls available at Lusiaviaroma site if anyone is looking to acquire one. I talked about these dolls that are inspried by the Spring 2009 collection previously. There are also keychains which are cheaper and made out of metal. The details are incredible, tulle, pearls and satin. Miss Lanvin Doll in Green Miss Lanvin Doll Keychain in Red, Miss Lanvin Doll Keychain the Bride Miss Lanvin Doll in black I can see these being great for a porcelain doll collector or a crazy Lanvin collector. images: luisaviaroma.com

i want: Melissa Plastic Dreams

The more I see of these Melissa Shoes, the more I like them. The plastic thing does throws me off for anything other than an sandal. The heels have a padded footbed though, they might be comfortable. However you can’t complain about beautiful shoes like these. I love the colour and shape I’m also a fan of the pair designed by famous Architect, Zaha Hadid. They have an unusual shape too. I’ve seen Melissa shoes at various places in the city: Lavish and Squalor Little Burgundy EDIT: Holt Renfrew is now carrying the Melissa Zaha Hadid Shoes. – April 15, 2009 via Highsnobette.com images: melissaplasticdreams.com and Highsnobette.com
