I start my new job on Monday. Of course I am freaking out about what to wear!

As an ode to my Vancouver roots, I am going to wear Dace, above. Still kinda cold though so have to find something cute to go over top.

Visit Dace to see all their cute Spring stuff, or go to their online store and get the Fall line on sale.

Marc Jacobs attended Perez Hilton’s birthday party with his new piece. Their feet are covered in Mandles. Disgusting.

I want these MICHAEL Michael Kors Alexandra CrissCross sandals. Lost them on ebay two weeks ago and can’t stop thinking about how every outfit is gonna suck without them. Have found them at various outlets online for sale, but out of my (very meager) budget right now. I am a size 9 if anyone wants to buy them for me as a gift or hears of some Michael Kors sample sale…

JUST A TRY...

verbadjectivenoun:

i’ll try this on here since i’ve seen a few others do it:

i am moving with my boyfriend Andrew to Toronto May 1st and need to find a fantastic place to live. I would like to find a 1 bedroom or 1 bdrm plus den with a max rent of $1450, but preferably something lower. we are looking anywhere downtown: the annex, boys town, king or queen west, little italy or anything near transit. new is nice - in a perfect world i’d request laundry, a dishwasher and even a patio or deck.

if you know of anything - please let me know!

The above was posted by a very good friend of mine, go on over to her blog to see how to get a hold of her. She is really nice, and a very responsible person.

I would love for her to live in Little Italy or Queen West so she would be near me, cause having her move to Toronto is not enough, I want to be able to stand outside her window at 5 am lifting a boombox over my head… uh, scratch that, I promise her friends won’t bother the neighbours.

I love love love the Mexican Funeral theme of Mayle’s Spring line. I especially want the Adela dress with its cute smock button front, like sailor pants on your chest!

I would like to have some more pretty floral dresses in my closet for all the garden parties, picnics, and afternoon teas I will be attending come spring.

The above one from Urban Outfitters looks like just the ticket!

Who knew?

When I think of Tod’s I think of subtle slip-ons and tepid totes. Seems the company is looking to latch on to a more creative vibe by partnering with new designers, the newest of which is Henry Holland of House of Holland and the large print limerick Tee craze. The above Tod’s bag is by Scottish artist Jim Lambie, and you can read about Tod’s recent goings-on and the party they held post-Paris Fashion Week at Fashion Week Daily. Its worth checking out just to see the adorable mug of dear Neil Tennant who I adore! If Tod’s got him to DJ then they must have a better taste than driving loafers!

Haute Look is a website where designers sell off remaining stock of their fashions, much like a trunk show. Today the Katy Rodriguez sale began. Most items are 75 % off, including the above, which I am totally lusting after.

Its free to join, and if you get friends to sign up, you can even get money towards your purchases when they make their first purchase. Totally great for anyone who doesn’t live in New York or LA where most of the trunk shows happen.

Am I the only one that thinks Drew looks neither “Tru” nor “Blend”ed in these adverts, and also a little orange?

When I was ten, my mother thought that to combat my awkward stage she would enroll me in Jazz Dance. In the late eighties there was nothing “Jazz” about Jazz Dance, but back then there was no Hip Hop Dance or whatever you call what Spears, Timberlake, et al. do now. Back then, the class where you learned the routines to Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation was in “Jazz Class.”

At the end of the eight week period of young girls over-critically comparing how big their thighs were beginning to get at the onset of puberty, and how small their chests still were, we were forced to present a piece choreographed by our teacher.

I was paired with probably the best dancer in the class. A twelve year old that had boobs and talent, two things I lacked. As we practiced our moves, I was painfully aware how laughable I looked next to her as she sultrily moved to, and wait this makes it worse, “Touch Me” by Samantha Fox.

There is something disturbing about a boyish ten year old dancing to that song. A week before we were to perform (in front of parents, ugg), my savior came in the form of a bad bus driver. My partner’s foot was run over by a bus. Yes, I was off the hook.

Fat chance. I now had to perform on my own. I no longer had her to distract people from my horrible dancing and un-Samantha Fox like bod. It was the worst five minutes of my life, especially with my former partner sitting front row glaring at me in her cast, thinking what a horrible job I was doing.

That said, as much as the sound of Samantha Fox singing sends me into fits of performance anxiety, I have got to admit she’s aged pretty well.

Here she is at some charity announcement.

Jezebel does this hilarious crucifixion of women’s magazines. They aren’t geniuses with their comments. But always make me laugh with their retorts to the cover grabs.

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:08:48 -0500

The one reason why I tune into Gossip Girl is the clothes. Honestly, that was a big reason why I watched Sex and the City, and now watch its pale predecessors, Lipstick Jungle and Cashmere Mafia. The clothes. So really the only reason I am looking forward to another gossipy, tv bitchfest, is the clothes.

Word is that the CW is making Dean’s novel into a series, and I will tune in, if only to check out the styling. However, I won’t expect the same New York look, as Dean’s novel apparently takes place in Palm Beach. I am no fan of Lilly Pulitzer, but lets hope there is at least some non-Bebe summer dresses to inspire on set.

How cute is this?! I am a total sucker for dogs in duds. I love how Christina Ricci and her dog look like they both shop at Pringle of Scotland.

Lindsay Price aka Victory Ford aka Cynthia Rowley:

I have only watched one episode, but agree, the styling on Lipstick is better than Cashmere. However, why do they compare her to Lui? Wouldn’t they compare Lui and Raver who are both magazine editors? I would compare Price’s character, the young creative designer, to that of Somerville who plays a young creative type on Cashmere. Though I think Victory Ford is more classic Kate Spade why Somerville’s Caitlin Dowd is Dolce & Gabbana on a strangers bedroom floor.
