December 29th, 2010 In love with briefcases at the moment.  I’m a firm believer in colour…especially green for shoes.  Knickers for the spring.  Do I accept the turban?  I guess I have too now…

December 28th, 2010 Sometimes the toque makes the outfit.  In.  Love.  Plaid and Woolies.  It’s about time I found a picture that combined the two…I hope you sense the sarcasm.  Regardless…this really is a perfect picture.  I’ve had a couple of requests for a briefcase with a little bit of an edge… Another fine leopard sighting.

Today I am going to be that voice that rarely speaks up.  You know the little guy in the back of your head that when you open that gift from grandma and realize it’s a mauve turtle neck and all you can say…’Thanks Grandma.  Love you’.  At that moment you know you will never wear this.  There are no ifs, ands or buts…this is going straight to closet purgatory.  Now...

December 26th, 2010 The shaving obsession continues.  The woman’s shoe obsession continues.  Store displays have garnered my attention lately.  Have never been a huge fan of the tote.  But I have to say this is pretty d o to the p e.  Remember what I preach.  What you wouldn’t by full price does not necessitate a purchase on sale…with that happy boxing day.

December 23rd, 2010 My feet on the daily.  Why do people even argue with me with respect to camo… A wooster booster today.  All tatted up.  Ladies and backpacks are usually a perfect combination.  Now I have turned my obsession to shoe shining kits.  And one of my final leopard sightings.

Renovation of a modern Gothic home
I’ve spoken about how talented my mom is, this is no secret.  But one of her pet projects (her house) is ‘almost’ ‘finally’ ‘done’.  In this past friday’s Globe and Mail her house was featured in the Real Estate section.  She’s redone the house from top to bottom while basically maintaining the outside structure and the inside intricacies. ...

December 13th, 2010 Need gloves?  Look no more.  We need more pullovers, plain and simple.  Oh and guess what…it’s chambray. Did someone say weekender?  If I had a 9 to 5 this is what I would be rockin’…lets be honest I would rock it regardless.  Just when you thought you couldn’t get a pea coat that could blow your mind.

Rag and Bone Spring 2011...a stylin'
I have followed Rag and Bone for quite some time now and I truly do like the brand… my friend Sig SWEARS by them and would probably buy each and every piece from the collection.  I came across some pictures of the Spring/Summer collection for 2011 and at first I was not that impressed, a little too out there for my tastes and truth be told the price tag has somewhat turned me off from the...

December 9th, 2010 Now this is a toggle that I can get down with.    Short hair on woman.  I’m in that phase again.  A vibram sole can turn any boat or shoe to stellar status.  Kablam.  Just cause I drink ciders and comment on fashion does not make me a woman…well maybe it does.

December 4th, 2010 Can’t explain, but I am obsessed with women’s shoes right now.  Cudder is on repeat right now.  Speaking of which…second season.  Indigo gave out some pretty amazing moleskins this year…shall we say thank you Heather.  Folk is one of those brands that consistently flies under the radar…time to start spreading the word a little more.

Swag.  To Lebron James from the city of Cleveland.  It would have been better if you just said you were choosing Miami to save money on taxes.  Cause who doesn’t love toques?

The Shoe Horn. Taking it to the next level...
The other day I expressed my love for the shoe horn…its ease of use, sleek beauty and ultimately only method of maintaining a rigid shoe back.  So it was only fitting that I come across the holy grail of shoe horns.  At 400£ I am going to pass for now…but with that being said if I do decide to buy that maybach I may splurge on the shoe horn.  Oh and did I tell you that’s how you...
