And then there were two...

I'm so very excited to welcome a very good friend of mine to my blog! Sir Gavin and I go waaay back and he is the only Straight Male I know who can rival my lovely friend Jill in the 'Fashion Knowledge' department. As if that's not impressive enough, Sir G loves to shop more than I do, is quite lovely on the eyes, and has the sexiest English accent to boot. So Be sure to read his postings with the accent in mind - it adds to the deliciousness.

Welcome Friend!

Pedicure Incentive

I know the shoe/thong/sort of gladiator butohsomuchbetter/sandal are all over L.A. already but they are only slowly creeping into the Canadian market - and even then not at an affordable rate. Not that cost has ever stopped me from falling in love before. I searched for them last summer to no avail, but it looks like this year they may be everywhere.
Another possible alternative to this is leather spats over my current sandals - which is an idea that only occured to me today when i saw a tres cute pair of leather spats at Eugene Choo.

Shoot Me!

Ok, i've had a thing for leather pants since I was a young teen. Me being the particular type that I am though I only see a tear or pic of ones that I really like every few years. The last pair that I fell in love with were back in the day when I watched General Hospital - I pretty much wanted to be Sam - I wanted her dark flowey/messy/sex bomb hair, her rough and tough attitude, I wanted Jason Morgan to fall in love with me like he fell in love with her and I really REALLY wanted her wardrobe - which was comprised of black everything and with her micro-petite figure they had her in corsets and leather pants and jeans and motorcycle jackets and all the most awesome of everything. I guess you had to be there...
ANYWAYS, she had these awesome black leather pants that were clearly made for her and I've been wanting them for years.... until now. Now i want these most incredible ones snapped on the streets of Paris (of course!)
I spend half my time wanting to be the Sartorialist travelling the world, capturing the world's most beautiful people wearing the most incredible clothing in the most beautiful and culture rich countries. And the other half of the time I spend wanting to be one of his subjects.

*Sigh*

The odds are against me becoming a supermodel, I do plan to travel the world though, and I do plan to take my own pictures. I've been toying with photography for a while and am finding myself more and more drawn and inspired by it. SO I've collaborated with a couple of great friends who are also looking for inspiration and expansion on their creative outlets and we're going to start regular Sunday Shoot days.
So stay tuned to see what I post apres Sunday - we're looking for guest collaborators so if you're in the 'hood and you are looking for a creative outlet we're planning on using all of our favorite swag & accessories, and makeup, grab the cameras and lighting and set up shop wherever we're feeling and just have some fun. I think it'll be fun to see the progress as we go, and I'd love to have your feedback!

Happy weekending!

Kids These Days

I took these pics a few months ago while I was in Italy. It was my first time there, needless to say I loved it. Anyways the kids there all had these really cool hair cuts with short tufts at the top of their heads, boys and girls alike.

Any guesses how long it will take to come into fashion here? 2 years?


I'm so obviously a wanna-be Sartorialist here, but i could even ask these guys if I could take their picture. I resorted to stealth tourist picture snapping mode. It got the job done.
