I attended the Dean Davidson Spring 2008 preview at Holt Renfrew yesterday. Here are some style shots of the attendees. Look for my feature on the preview on blogTO.com complete with better product shots. Mine suck. Love, love, love the blue tights. This DVP dress is fantastic, it comes in silver also. Perfect draping without making the dress hippy. Mary from Holt’s is my fashion hero. She has such an amazing sense of style. She also has the most kick ass jewelry I’ve seen.
Now or Never has been very good to me this season (It’s over for this season people). I managed to get this Rick Owens Funnel Neck Jacket for 75% off. It was the last one on the rack and it fit perfectly. I was in love. Initially, I walked away from the jacket and left the store, but I kept talking about it which was driving MJ nuts. I couldn’t get it out of my mind. A la Trent Reznor, it kept calling me, kept on calling me! So, I went back and the rest is history. Afterwards, MJ informed me that this jacket sold out completely, everywhere. This jacket fits amazing. The arms are a very slim cut but they are lined in silk so that it’s easy to put it on. The underside of the arms is made from a knit material which also adds to the sleekness of the arm. The double collar is drool worthy and I love how high it stands up. It’s like urban armour and I can block …

There is a pair i want online, (see link) but I’ve never tried on that brand so i don’t know how the size fits, if not would you know how they fit? Thanks Hi Jennifer, I don’t know of any stores in T.O. that sell aristocrat jeans. (If there are please leave a comment!) I’m surprised that Over the Rainbow doesn’t sell them. There are some stores in BC and Alberta. I personally am a little weary of buying jeans online without trying them on. However, if you find an online store with a good return policy you could get away with buying them and just returning them if they …

A Night City Scarf by Gillian Rode The fabric is brass that has been enameled and it’s unbelievably flexible and fluid and will last a lifetime. It is not rigid and moves just like fabric. Each hexagon is 1/8″ in diameter and they are machine linked together. Yay, more local goodies. This time we have Toronto resident Gillian Rode. I do believe that someone wore the Night City Scarf at the Buy Design for Windfall photoshoot last weekend. Can you spot it? It looks like the model from the above shots. Available in Toronto at: Anti-Hero 113 Yorkville Ave D’Lightful 202 Augusta Ave Fawn 967 Queen West unit 121 Georgie Bolesworth / Model Citizen 913 Dundas St. W The Pink Heart 482 Eglington Ave Ukula 492 College St. For you non-local types, you can make your purchases via etsy.

Goffredo Fantini boots Since the beginning of the fall I’ve been obsessed with finding a knee high pair of flat, black boots. I looked all over, most of the perfect boots I saw were out of my price range (damn you Prada). Others were just plain ugly. I thought a pair of Miss Sixty boots were going to be my savior, but then I tried them on and they sucked. On the urging of a friend, I decided to check out Zola Shoes. I had been at Zola before the Xmas rush and they didn’t have my size in the shoes I liked. However, this time it was love at first sight when I saw these. They aren’t quite flat, but the hardware on the shaft of the boot is killer.
